"This has become an astoundingly frightening, violent, hateful, intolerant world, and I think the only thing we can do really, as people who do not believe in all this separation and all this intolerance, all we can really do is really try and profess our love for one another."
"We have been a band that have always believed that we are one people under one sun," Manson added. "It doesn't matter what God your worship, what color of your skin, what your gender is, what your sexual orientation is, what food you like to eat, what clothes you like to wear, how you like to hang your junk, whether you like to wear a bra or not wear a bra. You get my point, it's all so fucking stupid, we have people in power telling us to really hate one another, to destroy one another."
"Our hearts go out to the victims and their surviving families who are now dealing with unfathomable loss and heartbreak," Manson wrote. "Fuck all this vile antisemitism. Fuck Islamophobia. The killing has to stop."
Garbage performed at the Sydney Opera House hours after a terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach killed at least 12 people and injured nearly 30. Shirley Manson addressed the crowd, calling the world frightening, violent and intolerant and urging people to profess love for one another. Manson said the band believes in one people under one sun and listed religion, race, gender, sexual orientation and personal choices as irrelevant to human worth. Manson revealed six close family members had been at Bondi before the attack and extended condolences to victims and surviving families. Manson condemned antisemitism and Islamophobia and declared that the killing must stop.
