Jewish institutions in Bondi, a suburb of Sydney, are on high alert after eight men storm a school bus carrying Jewish students and threaten to slit their throats, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The bus driver lets the eight men board, and they proceed to yell “Heil Hitler,” “kill the Jews,” and “we’re going to cut your throats and slice your throats open,” a mother of some of the students on the bus tells the paper.
Many of the schoolchildren call their parents frantically and in tears to tell them what was happening. Shortly after, the men got off the bus at Bondi junction.
Twelve-year-old Noah Stanton says: “They got on and couldn’t walk properly and looked drunk and said they had just been pumping drugs in the city.”
“They said ‘come sit with us, we won’t do anything’ so we went to the bus driver and said ‘get them off the bus’ and he said ‘don’t worry’ and told them to ‘zip your lips.’
“We were panicking and crying. When they got off the bus they said ‘f*** Jews’ and ‘stop taking over Palestine’ and ‘we will kill you and cut your throats.’”
The parents of the children file police complaints against the men.
