On Bondi Beach, in sunny Sydney, Australia, a thousand Jews were celebrating Hanukkah. Into their midst came two Muslims hellbent on murder. Before one was killed and the other wounded, they managed to kill at least a dozen Jewish victims. Andrew Fox, the former British Major and paratrooper, who is now a commentator on world affairs, has much to say about the Bondi Beach massacre, and other recent sheddings of Jewish blood, here: “Blood On Their Hands,” Andrew Fox, December 14, 2025:
Bondi. Manchester. Washington. Colorado. The list continues. Today, Jewish blood was shed on the sands of Bondi Beach. Twelve Jews were shot at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, with dozens more wounded. I am utterly furious. I am incandescent with rage. This horror did not happen out of nowhere. We all saw it coming. Again.
“Never again”? Yeah, right.
It was not an isolated act of madness in Australia; it exists everywhere. In Manchester this past Yom Kippur, a jihadist rammed a car into worshippers and stabbed people at a synagogue, murdering two Jews before police subdued him. In Washington, DC, an American gunman opened fire outside a Jewish museum, killing two young Israeli embassy staffers. As he was arrested, he shouted “Free, free Palestine!” to reveal the twisted ideology that fuelled his slaughter. In Colorado, an Egyptian immigrant attacked a peaceful pro-Israel rally with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, injuring seven; an 82-year-old woman later died from her burns. From continent to continent, Jews are being hunted.
Enough.
For two years now, since Hamas launched its latest war, a wave of anti-Jewish hate has swept through the West. The warning signs have been flashing: in Australia, anti-Jewish incidents tripled in the year after the war began. Similar spikes have occurred across Europe and the USA.
Swastikas on schools. Mobs chanting for intifada. Jewish students hiding their Stars of David. It has been escalating steadily. Now the inevitable has happened again – the hate has turned murderous. We know precisely who helped create this atmosphere. I am looking at everyone who fed this beast. Every single one of them has blood on their hands.
Everyone who spent two years spreading antisemitic blood libels straight from Hamas — blood on their hands. (They parroted every lie Hamas spewed, from fake “hospital massacres” to wild casualty figures. They stoked the flames that led directly to Bondi and beyond.)
Everyone sucked in by Hamas propaganda, who spent two years shrieking online about “Gaza genocide” or confected war crimes while excusing or ignoring Hamas’s atrocities — blood on their hands.
Everyone who attended the weekly hate marches in Western cities, those angry street mobs that normalised Jew-hatred under the guise of “Free Palestine” — blood on their hands. They created the permissive atmosphere for this violence.
Everyone who took Qatari or Iranian media money to peddle lies about Israel — blood on their hands. (They know who they are – the talking heads on state-backed TV channels, selling out truth for petro-dollars and spreading venom.)…
No more indulgence for the hatemongers. No more free passes for the enablers and apologists. Politicians: clean up this mess now, before it spirals further. Protect your Jewish citizens as you promised, or step aside for someone who will.
The blood cries out from Bondi, from Manchester, from Washington and Colorado. To all those who lit the fuse and fanned the flames: I hold you responsible. Their blood is on your hands, and it will never wash off.
This is one long uninterrupted furious cri de coeur from Andrew Fox, against all those who have been whipping up hatred for the Jewish state and for Jews, creating the environment in which such things as the Bondi Beach massacre become not just possible, but nearly inevitable. “Blood,” Fox says in his rhetorical refrain, “is on their hands.” And it will not be washed off. After such knowledge, what forgiveness?

Recently, a group of students in the U.S. made a swastika with their persons….like bands do on football fields when they spell out their school names, or things to cheer….
Are they so young, so ignorant of history, that they can’t have any idea of what that symbol means?
Is the propaganda so strong that so many have no idea that what they have begun to worship is so evil?
The horrors which hitler and his gang visited upon the Jews….and thousands of non-Jews…have only partially been disclosed, have been denied by muzzies, and praised by muzzies. And now so many people never touched by that evil from hitler and his murderous mob, have taken up his mantle and want to do the same, once more….in bits and pieces, wherever muzzies are, wherever their supporters are. And in one fell-swoop in Israel.
And the attacks are getting closer together in time. Yes, there is much blood on the hands of those who favor it, enable it, support it and carry through with murdering innocent people.

sorry about that, g.
Jenny H says
I’m very sad about this, and angry. Jewish Australians should feel safe in their own country.
I feel so angry that these people suffered such a horrible experience. I feel angry that the murderous scum did this.
The 9th October, 2023 (the disgusting demonstration of Muslim antisemitism on the steps of the Sydney Opera House) was a shocking and unprecedented event in Australian history.
The Australian Government hasn’t done enough to protect Jewish Australians and allow them to feel safe in their own country

“Today, Jewish blood was shed on the sands of Bondi Beach. Twelve Jews were shot at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, with dozens more wounded. I am utterly furious. I am incandescent with rage. This horror did not happen out of nowhere. We all saw it coming. Again.”
In August 1968, after the occupation of the Golan Heights, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dyan stated, “We are fated to live in a permanent state of fighting against the Arabs … ”
“War is a continuation of (politics) policy by other means.” “On War”, Carl von Clausewitz, 1832.
Zionist secular Israel has known this was to be it’s future when it pushed the Arabs out of the Levant at gun point in 1948. They will readily accept the Son of Perdition’s lie about peace and safety.
Gamzu says
One side launched a war of extermination in 1948 and it wasn’t the Jews.
KufarDawg says
Exactly, Golda Meir went out of her way to beg the Jordanian King not to get involved in the war of extermination against the Jews, but Jordan attacked the nascent state of Israel anyway.
gravenimage says
“Condor” here is a dishonest tool.
WPM says
Many Arabs left in 1948 of their own accord they where shock their side lost and they lost their homes. The Arabs who stay and did not fight where made Israel citizens and kept their homes and businesses . Many of them and their descendants live in Israel today and have the same rights as Israel Jews ,hold elected offices ,have civil servant jobs ,and are even policemen and serve in the arm services. No Jew or Christian will ever live in peace or have full citizenship rights in Moslem majority why is that?
carpediadem says
What then hell is wrong with you Hamas moron?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
One of the attackers was a Paki named Naveed Akram. Any idea of the identity of the other?
David M says
They are a father & son, the 50 year old father died & the son is in hospital critical. The rifles were all legally owned hunting rifles, about 6 used. The death toll is now 16. They said it was because of the way the Palestinians were treated in Gaza. They should revoke every Muslim’s gun licenses in Australia after this.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Guns are already illegal in Australia. What they need to do is repeal that law, and allow law-abiding Australians to carry firearms, and not just for hunting. These 2 were hunting infidels, who they saw as the equivalent of animals
PRCS USN (ret) says
As David M notes: hunting rifles are llegal.
PRCS USN (ret) says
are legal
David M says
Basically the gun laws here in Australia are farmers in the bush have guns for animal control, people in the city don’t. I was surprised to learn these urban Muslims were allowed to have guns without even been citizens. The politicians are now going to change the gun laws. That’s a start, but as we have seen if Muslims want to kill infidels, they will use knives or vehicles to do it anyway.
Tim gallagher says
The gun laws don’t work. Every day on the tv news in Australia the lead story will be about yet another drive by shooting as various mainly Muslim crime gangs attack one another in Sydney for control of the drug trade. The crime have no shortage of guns.
carpediadem says
The father was allowed to own these weapons despite not even being a citizen.
nicholas william tesdorf says
He was his father, the owner of 6 guns. It was a family operation.
James Lincoln says
I remember learning about the Holocaust and “Never Again” in my early 1970s high school history class.
At the time, I actually believed that “Never Again” actually meant “Never Again”.
Boy was I naïve…
Westman says
Me too, James. It seems such things only last until the next party is in power or there is a useful treaty with a nation which has a predudice against Jews or schools stop teaching important history.
When children can finish school believing the moon landing was a fake, there was no Holocaust, and even while shouting about a river and sea still can’t name either or find Israel on a map, America is well on its way to self-administered chaos.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Honestly, I never thought a day would come when antisemitism would be normalized in countries like Australia and the US. It’s dismaying to watch
England Invaded says
Do the Australians get the “we’re stronger together” & “Don’t look back in anger” crap, as we in the UK.
Every time!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Or the “Boston Strong” after the Boston Marathon bombing
Westman says
The media isn’t finished with trying to cover up how wrong they have been about “peaceful ” Islam. Just this mornng, in a conservative US state, I heard on my car radio of the shooting at the Austrailian Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration.
As expected, there was not a word about the ethnicity or religion of the murderers though anyone familiar with Islam knew instantly – there is no other group who will organize a team to attack Jews with the intent of mass murder.
Islam truly echos the original retort of the first Biblical killer, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” I think our patience with Islam is exhausted, Somalis won’t report fraud and Muslims, in general, who know mayhhem upon infidels is coming won’t report it. Let’s face it, Islam has brotherhood for its own house and the rest as voiced by the alien in, “Independence Day”, can die with or without Islamic “help”.
Ignorant infidels may march and shout, but like non-militant Muslims, they want the terrorists to do the deed. Yes, the blood of these murdered Jewish families – when you kill a family member you kill the famiy that was – is on the heads of the infidels who marched for the destruction of Israel and the general persecution of Jews, and on their damned schools and universities who polluted America’s youth with simple false binary predudice, backed by ignorance.
Egor says
This Prime Minister had the chance to take direct action after the Oct 7th attack two years ago and what then happened down at the Sydney Opera House the day after. That assembly had no other aim than to spread hate. Then we had all the marches in support of Hamas – a terrorist organisation. Nothing happened. Then we had the weekly marches – nothing happened. Followed by attacks on Jews. Yesterday took these attacks to a new level. So what has the Prime Minister done over that period? Nothing. All we get from him are the same old same old. Well it is not all Muslims. We know it is not all Muslims. In fact, I am led to believe it was a Muslim who disarmed the younger shooter. The prime Minister, Albanese, joined most of the EUs pms to recognise the Palestinian state. The Israeli PM summed Albanese up today by claiming he was a weak PM who made weak decisions. I could not agree more. What is his key remedy? He wants stricter gun laws. We cannot be seen to be attacking Islam as there are too many Muslims in western suburb seats in Sydney who could vote them out. I would be interested to see where the two terrorists lived. The father has been here for at least 30 years as he has had a gun licence for that long. So what was the trigger that made him want to go to Bondi and kill people? I don’t know. I suspect I would be checking his mosque out, How many others are sitting around in western Sydney waiting for their triggers?

Why Islamic Terrorists Commit Attacks
– In Their Own Words
“I am one of the servants of Allah. We do our duty of fighting for the sake of the religion of Allah. It is also our duty to send a call to all the people of the world to enjoy this great light and to embrace Islam and experience the happiness in Islam…
“Our primary mission is nothing but the furthering of this religion.”
Osama bin Laden, May 1998
Aside from pursuing mass murder plots against innocent populations in every corner of the planet, Islamic terrorists have one other thing in common: They credit their motivation and success to religion.
Islam isn’t hijacked by extremists – it is what inspires them. This distinguishes Islamic terrorism from criminal activity, and it is part of what makes Islam so very, very different from other religions.
Many people prefer to bury their heads in the sand or look for ways to re-cast Islamic terror to fit their own political agenda. However, Muslims behind the violence are quite explicit about the religious certainty that compels their actions.
The teachings and early history of Islam that explain the violence are discussed elsewhere on this site. Here is shown that, as far as Islamic terrorists are concerned, their acts are done explicitly in the name of Allah and for the cause of Islam and Islamic law… across the globe…

Bondi Beach: “‘Never Again’ Was an Empty Phrase”
…………………………………………………..
Grimly true.
Anonymous says
Christian marker attack in Germany, slitting of throats of Hindus, attacking & desecrating churches in Nigeria & Syria, but still terrorism has no religion and Islamophobia is real. Could not imagine a single community can do such havoc on this planet.
OLD GUY says
As long as the west allows muslims into our countries these attacks will continue. The weapon used has little to do with it. There are numerous ways to kill without using a gun. Europe has seen plenty of death from muslims using ball bats, knives, pipes, cars and trucks etc. STOP the migration invasion of Islam..
Walter Sieruk says
In this second decade of this twenty –first century there have been two murderous jihad attacks at Jewish festivals by Muslim terrorist. This first being was on October 7th 2023, this most recent jihad murder attack, this year at a Hanukkah festival on October 14th. Sydney’ Australia In that five years left in this century, let’s pray and hope Islamic murderous jihad attack at a festival or any other place or event,
Nevertheless, the sever malice -filled demonic hate of those Muslims for the Jewish people should not be understated, in that they will not lose interest in their deadly jihad against the Jews,
For Satan’s false religion and pride and joy which is Islam will demonically inspire other Muslims to because terrorists. It’s sad and even tragic many people are see and comprehend diabolical essence of Islam, because its deceptive nature appears “godly” to numerous people.
So, in reality, that religious book of the Devil, the Qu ran , even those in look good a face value is the cause of Muslims engaging in death inflection terrorism.
Therefore, the Muslims terrorists who engaged in that death inflecting jihad massacre were obeying the command of Islam’ “holy book” the Qur’ an ,as it instructs in Surah 47:4 , which instructs “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike of their heads until you made great slaughter among them…”
The use of modern weapons is a much more effective method of making a “great slaughter among them than a sword can.
The reason why Muslim terrorists can commit to many brutal cruel vicious actions of cold –blooded murder and murders and feel no remorse about it. at all Is explained in the Bible, which reveals to its reader that some men are completely callous and unfeeling for the suffering of others is because they have had “their own conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [N.K.J.V.]
For those Muslim terrorists that “hot iron” is Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
Another error on my part, I should the word “decade” in my posting no century.”
Nevertheless, it still stands that Islam isa demonic and deadly false religion.

There are still no real actions proposed by anyone. So even Hugh Fitzgerald holds the spilled Jewish blood on the hands of those he deems responsible. BFD, Hugh baby. No one seems to mention the obvious. These effing scum murder and maim and ”the leaders” come out with their pious drivel. One reason the muscum get away with this is because the West sees murder and more, and the West does…NOTHING. Whether Albanese, Macron, Starmer and the rest of these worthless HOFs. Maybe we should have a religious war? If the muzzscum would suddenly see multiples of Aussie, British and French muzzies get killed, maybe it might open their eyes. Yeah, I doubt it but one thing for sure. The present of they murder us, and we express outrage…yeah, that sure teaches the muzzies. Uh huh.
Does anyone notice where the muscum don’t commit any outrages? I’ll give you all a hint. It’s in the countries that DO NOT LET THEM IN. See Japan, Hungry, Poland et al.
