In a recent essay, Chun questioned the innocence of Jewish victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack. Allen described the Bondi attack as a heartbreaking tragedy that should never have occurred and said the company regularly reviews its inventory to reflect customer expectations and avoid association with divisive content. Chun, whose legal name is Matthew Jones, responded with an essay titled “We don’t mourn fascists”, published on his Substack. Critics have described the remarks as antisemitic, arguing they dehumanise victims and tie their worth to political beliefs.
