The horrific murder of Australian Jews at Bondi by two Islamist fanatics is an obscenity.
All civilians deserve the protection of peace.
There can be no justification for the murder of civilians.
None.
Those murdered are not responsible for the war crimes in Gaza.
They were innocent people enjoying the majesty of Australia’s beach life.
Their murder is as unacceptable as actual anti-semitism.
While we stand in solidarity with our Australian neighbours at this atrocity, I find the conflation by some against the Australian Government for supposedly allowing an environment of anti-semitism to exist a difficult position to accept.
Criticising Israel for war crimes that technically breach war crimes and protesting against that is not anti-semitism.
These two killers inspired by ISIS are a contradiction.
One of the killers was investigated for ISIS connections in 2019, well before the Hamas attack on October 7th and ISIS as an organisation opposes Palestinian nationalism.
Twisting their brand of violence into a criticism of everyone supporting Palestine is as insane as blaming all white males in the wake of the Christchurch shootings.
If you find the murder of civilians in Bondi difficult to accept, wait until you check out what’s happening in Gaza.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Well conveyed Bomber.
This post is you and TDB at its very best.
This speaks on behalf of all us in Aotearoa.
Its a travesty that at this moment in history we are governed by one of the ugliest governments in our history.
No MP’s in this regime has broken ranks against its policies and positions so they are all complicit in its actions despite the friendly nick names we give them to humanize that fact.
There is only one man along with his cabinet to blame for this atrocity and that’s Netanyahu. He’s obviously pushing the buttons of all these failed ex Australian politicians who see this tragedy as a thrust to glory.
> Those murdered are not responsible for the war crimes in Gaza.
This is true of the girl, yes (the zionists have murdered more than 10,000 children under ten in their latest Gaza Holocaust, of course).
It’s not true of the group which organized the event, Chabad, which has been harshly criticized by pro-human rights jewish groups like Neuterai Karta for its disgusting support for terrorism. Chabad affiliates regularly attack human rights protesters, and burn families alive.

It’s not true of many of the terrorists who were participating in the event, terrorists like Eli Schlanger who had taken part in attacks on Gazan children.
Turns out that the father of the family that was killed was a Rabbi who had been to Gaza, held prayers with IDF soldiers, and called Palestinian children Amalek who deserved to die on social media. Makes me wonder if he was the main target of a planned murder.
Trouble is that Gaza is full of Islamist fanatics.
Show me the evidence. This is a complete nonsense.
Islamist terror is a Frankenstein monster created by the West. Prior to the 1990s most Palestinian resistance groups were decidedly sector. The West has a long history of using retrograde, barbaric, and reactionary elements among oppressed groups against progressive resistance groups and governments. Unfortunately via sloppy immigration rules and security lapses, innocent civilians in the West are now also victims, and not just Syrians, Libyans, Afghans, Russians, and Chinese.
Very true. It should be noted that this is the first time that this supposedly ‘islamist’ group, ISIS, has engaged in a delibrate strike against ‘israeli’ interests. ISIS did shell zionist occupational forces in Syria accidentally half a decade back but they immediately apologized.

ISIS scum are funded and armed by the zionists and their american puppets, and typically they attack decent Muslims or Christians who are no threat to Islam. But when the most evil monsters the world has ever seen fund enough crazy people, eventually, it will blow back even on them.
Yes, you are right. The mainstream media is now trying to bring Iran into the picture in relation to the Bondi massacre. The West frequently conflates ISIS, Sunni Islamism, and Iran into a single, imagined “monolithic Islamic threat,” despite the fact that these forces were often direct enemies on the battlefield. ISIS — the Islamic State — was a virulently anti-Shia, anti-Iranian, and anti-Hezbollah Salafi-jihadist organisation. In practice, Iran and its allies carried out much of the ground-level fighting that ultimately destroyed ISIS’s territorial control, alongside Iraqi forces, Syrian government troops, and Hezbollah. To portray Iran as ideologically or operationally aligned with ISIS is therefore historically and strategically incoherent, yet this conflation remains common in media and political narratives used to promote an imperialist agenda. ISIS served Israeli interests.
Only ISIS was never destroyed was it. Nor Islamist jihad terror. Alive and well in the Middle East, sub Saharan Africa and everywhere Muslim Brotherhood affiliates ally with woke western ideology to achieve authoritarian rule.
I agree Martyn – there can be no justification for the murder of civilians! FGS it’s totally immaterial what colour you are, or what religious order you belong to, or where you were born. It’s about being a human-being and showing civility for others by respecting their democratic views. Had the murderer, Netanyahu shown some respect and abided by the ‘Cease Fire’ the Bondi slayings may never have occurred. NZ has been weak and apathetic for not calling Israel out for their ongoing barbaric behaviour. Blaming the Australian government is ludicrous! Israel clearly won’t be happy until every last Palestinian is dead so are still the perpetrators! WAKE UP world and recognise we all have to face the wrath of our climate changes so unite and fight – it’s the real threat facing us all now. Netanyahu will reap what he has sown.
I am totally ashamed at our government .They have spent two years turning their backs on the genocide in gazza and the west bank .As soon as the same happens to the JEWISH population on the other side of the world all hell breaks out .Suddenly we are putting armed guards out side jewish places of worship or schools .Had we had the guts to stand up and oppose Isreal since 1967 this and Gazza would never have happened .We have never stood up against Israel and the USA because deep down we are still colonists so the colonisation of Israel is just fine and dandy .
100% correct.
In fairness, the zionist entity should not be directly compared to even the most awful other historical incidents of alien colonization of native lands like the Belgian Congo or Churchill’s monstrous starvation genocide of Bengalis that he did just for fun. The zionist lust to rape and kill anyone who isn’t them, as is universal across all ‘israelis’, is genuinely unique in all of history, they are the most evil monsters the world has ever seen.
Nonsense. Martyn. The same intense, blatant hatred of Jews shown in the Bondi jihadi massacre was on open display at the Sydney Opera House a few days after the Oct 7 attack on Israeli citizens in their homeland. And is occurring in incidents around the world as this ancient scourge resurrects itself both east and west.
If you are too stupid to understand the difference between hatred of what people do and hatred of who they are, you need to get a better education. Unfortunately, some of the angry people are a bit irrational and don’t have the language skills to differentiate between those who they believe are the cause of the genocide in Gaza. However, you can be sure that if Israel had not been persecuting Palestinians since the 1930’s, which increased to genocide after October 7, 2023, that antisemitism would be almost non-existent today.
