 The X post by @cb_doge announces that a GoFundMe campaign for Ahmed al Ahmed—the civilian hero who disarmed one of the gunmen during the December 14, 2025, terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach—has surpassed $1 million in donations. It highlights that billionaire investor Bill Ackman contributed approximately $100,000 (listed as $99,999 on the fundraiser).

### Key Details on the Incident: - On December 14, 2025, a father-and-son duo, Sajid Akram (50) and Naveed Akram (24), carried out an antisemitic terrorist attack targeting the "Chanukah by the Sea" event at Bondi Beach. - They killed at least 15 people (including a 10-year-old girl named Matilda and Rabbi Eli Schlanger) and injured over 40 others. - Sajid was shot dead by police at the scene; Naveed was critically injured and remains in hospital under guard. - The attack has been classified as terrorism motivated by antisemitism, prompting renewed debates on Australia's gun laws (despite strict controls post-1996 Port Arthur massacre) and calls for tighter restrictions. ### The Hero: Ahmed al Ahmed - Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old fruit shop owner and father of two (originally from Syria, migrated to Australia in 2006), rushed one of the gunmen, wrestled away his rifle, and was shot multiple times in the process. - His actions are credited with saving numerous lives. - He underwent surgery and is recovering, with family describing him as a "100% hero." - The verified GoFundMe (set up by community supporters) exploded in donations, quickly exceeding $1 million, reflecting widespread gratitude across communities. This story highlights extraordinary bravery amid tragedy, with global praise from figures like Australian PM Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Chris Minns, and others. The rapid fundraising shows strong public support for acts of courage in the face of hate.
