CAM Australia’s Sheina Gutnick Calls for ‘Unity and Strength’ in Global Antisemitism Fight During US Visit

Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) Public Affairs Advocate for Australia Sheina Gutnick visited the United States this week for a series of high-level official meetings and community speaking engagements.

Gutnick — daughter of the late Reuven Morrison, who was murdered in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre last December — traveled to New York City to share her personal story, draw attention to situation of Australian Jewry, and build collaborative connections with the Jewish American community.

Her itinerary included a roundtable discussion at City Hall with New York City Council Task Force to Combat Antisemitism Co-Chairs Eric Dinowitz and Inna Vernikov and a meeting with seniors leaders of New York City Police Department (NYPD) Community Affairs Bureau, including Assistant Chief Victoria Perry, Assistant Commissioner Fred Kreizman, and Detective Mohamed Amen.

She also toured the United Nations headquarters, where she met with Australian UN Ambassador James Larsen and Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon.

Six months ago, Sheina lost her father in the horrific antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach.

The discussions focused on the global rise of antisemitism and the need to take proactive steps to address hatred before it escalates. Gutnick highlighted the importance of education, leadership, and forging stronger relationships between communities as part of a long-term response to antisemitism.

“It’s been incredibly valuable to have the opportunity to share what’s happening in Australia and hear about what’s being experienced across the United States,” Gutnick said. “We’re seeing many of the same challenges emerge, and it’s vital that we find ways to come together and address them with unity and strength. CAM offers an amazing and unique international platform to do so, and I look forward to building on the ties I’ve established to advance this vital mission.”

While in New York City, Gutnick also filmed a video with CAM Public Affairs Officer and October 7th survivor Natalie Sanandaji in which they highlighted the commonalities of the impact that terrorism has had on their lives:
