United Voices for America condemned the deadly attack targeting a Jewish community in Australia and reaffirmed that violence against any faith community must be confronted without hesitation or double standards.

The organization said that Muslim communities have a responsibility to stand against antisemitic violence — and that elected officials and media figures must not exploit such tragedies to fuel anti-Muslim hatred or smear advocacy for Palestinian rights.

“We reject the politics of collective blame,” United Voices said. “An attack on a Jewish community is not a license to target Muslims, immigrants, or anyone speaking out for human rights.”

United Voices also recognized reports of community members who intervened to stop further harm, underscoring that solidarity and moral courage save lives in moments of crisis.
