Antisemitism has no place in our world." San Jose police are also on alert following Sunday's attack. "The San Jose Police Department is deeply saddened by the recent terrorist attack in Australia and condemns this act of violence and hatred," SJPD said in statement. "Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected."

"My heart goes out to the people in Australia, and no place is immune to the rise in antisemitism and hate," Mayor Wilk said in a statement.

Mayor Wilk said that Walnut Creek will have a "police presence" during Sunday night's celebration for the first night of Hanukkah. Wilk added that it is "an unfortunate reality in today's world." Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee issued a statement about the attack. "As Oakland's Jewish community continues Hanukkah celebrations this week, know that this city stands with you," Mayor Lee Said.
