While over ten people, including a rabbi, were killed at the Hanukkah event in Australia, two were killed in the Rhode Island shooting. It has now emerged that the Brown University shooter specifically entered the class of Professor Rachel Friedberg, who teaches Judaic Studies, and opened fire. No other classrooms were targeted, as per Newsmax host Todd Starnes.

Several places in the US have upped security after the open attack on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach. Amidst this, Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk's comments and her late husband Charlie Kirk's thoughts on antisemitism have gone viral.

What Erika Kirk said about antisemitism

Speaking at the CBS News Town Hall, Erika Kirk asked “What healing factor comes out of hating Jewish people?.”

She then remembered what her late husband used to say about antisemitism. “Charlie always would say very clearly: Jew hate was brain rot. He would always say it,” Erika added. Charlie Kirk himself met a violent end, having been fatally shot when attending an event at the Utah Valley University on September 10.

Erika further added, “We've been to Israel twice together. And to be able to walk in the place where our Lord walked and see the Bible come to life in technicolor, how could you hate that place? How could you hate the Jewish people?.”

While the shooter's motive in the Brown University attack is not known, media personalities, including those who have contributed to Fox News, have pointed to the fact that the professor inside whose classroom the shooting took place is Jewish.

President Donald Trump, in an speech today, addressed the loss of lives this weekend, saying “I want to to just pay my respects... Brown University — nine injured and two are looking down on us right now from Heaven. Likewise, in Australia, as you know, that was a terrible attack... In Syria, we [lost] three great Patriots.”
