It’s Australia’s great shame that the worst atrocity to befall Jewish people since the October 7 massacre should have taken place here. Australia now joins all the other Western countries that are obviously plagued by militant Islam, notwithstanding the heroics of a Muslim bystander, who wrestled a gun off one of the attackers.

Regrettably, this atrocity was just the latest escalation in the Jew hatred that’s lately afflicted my country, starting with local Islamist preachers “rejoicing” in the October 7 carnage within hours of it taking place; continuing with a mob at the Sydney Opera House screaming “f—k the Jews”; and then 100,000 people marching across the Sydney Harbour Bridge yelling “death to the IDF” and “globalize the intifada”.
As was predicted, they’ve now got their wish. First, there was Jew-hating graffiti, then vandalism of Jewish property, then the fire-bombing of synagogues, and now the Bondi massacre. If incitement to violence goes unchecked, soon enough, real violence takes place; and, soon enough, not just against Jews but against everyone who’s not for an apocalyptic Islamic caliphate.
