"President Donald Trump denounced the shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach as a purely antisemitic attack on Sunday, just hours after a Hanukkah celebration was targeted. As you know, there was a terrible attack, 11 dead, 29 badly wounded, the president said at the White House. And that was an anti-semitic attack, obviously. And I just want to a pay my respects to everybody."
"The president, a moment later, urged American Jews to celebrate the holiday proudly. We're here to celebrate Christmas and to celebrate and I think today we can [say] loudly we celebrate Hanukkah, because that was such a horrible attack, Trump said. That was a purely anti-semitic attack. That comment was similar to what he told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy just before the event, saying Celebrate proudly be proud of who you are."
"The president also commented on two other shootings that happened this weekend one at Brown University, where two people were killed and several others were injured on Saturday, and an attack in Syria where three Americans were killed. Trump said he was sending his deepest regards and respect to the families of the two people killed at Brown, and told the nine survivors to get well fast."
