I really regret contributing to this situation. I didn’t anticipate how completely it would dominate the narrative.

"On the first night of #Hanukkah, #Jewish families gathered in #Sydney to celebrate. Instead of #candlelightings and #latkes, they were met with #gunfire from two armed #terrorists. At least a dozen Jewish #Australians, including a #Holocaust survivor, were murdered, and the first candle of Hanukkah was lit in grief.

Almost immediately, however, the focus of the public conversation began to drift.

Rather than centering the #victims or grappling with what it means for #Jews to be targeted at a Jewish #celebration, much of the discourse has fixated on a different element of the attack, one that, while important, should not be the story itself."
