A woman will face court after allegedly making antisemitic comments to a group including Jewish leaders and Sydney Swans players at the site of the Bondi Beach terror attack.

Officers were called to Archer Park on Wednesday afternoon after a 67-year-old woman allegedly confronted the group and made abusive comments.

Executive Council of Australian Jewry Co-CEO, Alex Ryvchin was with one of the victims who was shot during the targeted December attack on a Jewish event, which claimed 15 lives.

He said the woman made comments directly to them, including "Evil Zionist".

"Which is deplorable at the best of times, but to do so in that place, at that time, in the presence of a survivor, was something which we're not going to stand for,"

Mr Ryvchin said.

He said the incident was also confronting for the Sydney Swans team who were visiting the site to show solidarity.

"It's grossly insensitive, it's more than that, it's inhuman and it gave them a real life example of what the Jewish community has to deal with on a daily basis," he said.

In a statement on the day of the incident, police said officers patrolling the area as part of Operation Shelter had attended the park, but that no further action would be taken.

Mr Ryvchin said the survivor of the mass shooting went to police to make a complaint.

"We see what happens in our society when incitement and hatred and vilification goes unchecked," he said.

" We're not going to stand for it, we're not going to live with this, and we're not going to allow the desecration of a sacred site with that sort of language and that sort of abuse. "

Police on Friday issued the woman with a court attendance notice and said she was charged with offensive language.

"We're very grateful for it, we think it's the right move by the police and sends a strong signal throughout the country," Mr Ryvchin said.

The woman is expected to face Waverley Court in September.
