The daughter of an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor wounded during a shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach publicly confronted Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) hosts during a live television appearance, accusing the network of biased reporting and demanding that it allow Jewish voices to be heard.
Victoria Teplitsky appeared on ABC’s News Breakfast following the attack, in which gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah gathering, wounding her father, Semyon Teplitsky, in the lower leg.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Semyon Teplitsky survived after his girlfriend used her belt as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding before emergency responders arrived.
During the interview with News Breakfast hosts James Glenday and Emma Rebellato, Teplitsky directly challenged the broadcaster’s coverage of Israel and its broader reporting related to Jewish communities.
“ABC, I’ve got to say, will you cut out the biased reporting … will you cut it out? Will you let us have a voice?” Teplitsky said during the broadcast.
She linked what she described as biased media coverage to a shift in attitudes toward Jewish Australians, saying it has contributed to growing hostility.
“Because we feel that is part of the reason that the Jewish people have experienced such a massive change in Australia towards us,” she said.
Teplitsky repeated her criticism later in the interview, stating, “ABC please stop with the biased reporting.”
