More on the massacre of Jews on Bondi Beach by two Muslims, and the anti-Israel atmosphere created by the Albanese government that makes such things possible, can be found here: “Australia’s ‘Hanukkah Massacre’ Is Worse Than You Think,” by Daniel Pomerantz, Algemeiner, December 16, 2025:
Chabad’s “Hanukkah by the Sea” event near Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, turned into a bloody massacre on Sunday: 15 murdered and dozens more injured, as of the latest update.
Far from being an isolated incident, this nightmarish display of terror is only the latest symptom of a dangerous and systematic attack by the Australian government against its own Jewish population.
According to news sources, the terrorists were Sajid and Naveed Akram: a father and son of Pakistani origin who had pledged allegiance to ISIS shortly before carrying out their antisemitic bloodbath.
In one rare bright spot, Ahmed Al Ahmed, an immigrant from Syria, heroically risked his life to disarm one of the terrorists, likely saving many innocent lives in the process. Al Ahmed survived several gunshots and is recovering in hospital.
Before Ahmed Al Ahmed went into action, an elderly Australian Jewish couple, Boris and Sofia Gurman, managed at the very outset of the attack to wrest a gun from one of the gunmen, only to be shot dead when he grabbed another gun to kill them. Their heroism has, for obvious reasons — “Muslim saves Jewish lives” — not received nearly the same attention as Ahmed Al Ahmed.
In the aftermath of this modern day pogrom, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese issued a statement in which he made no mention whatsoever of Jews, antisemitism, Hanukkah, Islamic extremism,terrorism, or ISIS.
Albanese referred to the massacre merely as “shocking” and “distressing,” and said that his thoughts were with “every person affected.”
Within hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu utterly excoriated Albanese, accusing him of “pouring fuel on this antisemitic fire,” and noting that he had sent Albanese a letter last August, warning of the very conditions that had brought about this attack, a warning that had gone unheeded.
In tandem with the Israeli Prime Minister’s vigorous public scolding, Albanese held a press conference, in which he finally condemned the Bondi attack as antisemitic.
However, Albanese continued to avoid any mention of Islamic extremism, despite Australian law enforcement having already publicly confirmed that the terrorists had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror organization (ISIS), and that they were carrying an ISIS flag in their vehicle.
According to reports, the Mossad had been warning Australia regularly for months about terror plots against the local Jewish community. Local police deny there were specific warnings about this particular attack, but Israeli leaders from all sides of the political spectrum countered that Australia had ignored “countless warning signs.”
Australia’s national failures are reminiscent of the Dutch pogrom of November 2024, in which local Muslim attackers violently hunted Israeli soccer fans through the streets of Amsterdam — after Dutch police ignored urgent warnings from Israeli intelligence.
The conditions for a similar massacre are currently shaping up in New York City, where the incoming mayor responded to a highly threatening antisemitic protest by accusing the local Jewish community of “violations of international law.” (I previously addressed both topics in depth at The Algemeiner).
The antisemitic protest which the soon-to-be mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, defended as upholding international law, was held just outside the Park East Synagogue. Inside the synagogue, an Israeli group was holding an informational session for those interested in making aliyah to Israel. Just outside, and blocking the entryways to the synagogue, stood a group of people screaming their homicidal hatred of Israelis and their desire to see it disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. They shouted, inter alia, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “globalize the Intifada” — a call to kill Jews everywhere — and “death, death, death to the IDF.”
For the past two years since the October 7 massacre, not only has Australia seen a massive rise in violent antisemitic attacks, but local Jewish leaders have consistently objected to the government’s permissive atmosphere toward attacking Jews, such as failing to apply appropriate penalties and needed protections….
People engaged in antisemitic scrawls on synagogue walls, or screaming their hatred of the Jewish state, or beating up individual Jews, do not come out of nowhere. Their hatred of Israel is in sync with the palpable dislike of the Jewish state that Prime Minister Albanese and his Foreign Minister Penny Wong exhibit.
The Albanese government’s failure to properly assign blame for the Bondi Beach massacre to the ideology of Islam, so that the public is lead astray into thinking such attacks are merely the handiwork of a handful of “extremists” who fail to understand their own peaceful religion, needs to be corrected. However, given this government’s failure to heed warnings coming from Mossad about numerous planned attacks on Jews, and given Albanese’s inability, in the statement he released just after the Bondi Beach attack, to mention even once the words “Jews, antisemitism, Hanukkah, Islamic extremism, terrorism, or ISIS,” it should be clear that Anthony Albanese is not the man to do it.
This astonishing lapsus by Albanese unfortunately demonstrates that he can’t allow himself to see Islam as it really is; he prefers to believe that the religion is a peaceful one, and only “extremists” have carried out these many terror attacks. He needs to be reminded that almost 50,000 of these terror attacks by Muslims have been carried out around the world since September 11, 2001, and that is not because the perpetrators misunderstood the faith of Islam, but rather, because they understood it all too well, and were ready and willing to carry out attacks so that, as Muhammad said in a hadith, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” That is a command that every leader in the Western world, including the hapless Anthony Albanese, should commit to memory.

Yes, Islam’s Bondi Beach Massacre was a pogrom.
A pogrom carried by Islam’s “Islamzatsgruppen” (Islam-zats’-group-en)
They are the inheritors of the Nazi’s Einzatsgruppen.
The Nazi’s “Action Troops” that carried out the Holocaust by Bullets.
Shooting unarmed, defenseless, male, female and child, civilian Jews.
I want the clarity of referring to these killers accurately.
They are not generic terrorist,
They are Islam’s Islamzatsgruppen,
the vanguard of Islam’s, hoped for, genocide of theJews.
And like the Nazis, the killing goes from Jews, to Christians, to Westerners, in an ever inclusive path,
for the world domination of Islam and it’s Caliphate.
What we’re seeing is the Islamzatsgruppen carrying out the new Holocaust by Bullets be it at
Bondi Beach or Israel on Oct. 7th.
This Islamic war, declared 1400 years ago, is coming for us all.
And the enemy is inside our gates. Just waiting. Like these Islamzatsgruppen did.

Islamzatsgruppen
Yes, a pretty accurate term. But, unless one speaks German it doesn’t exactly roll off one’s lips.
Important for our fellow filthy unbelievers to know, however: this is not the antisemitism of Gemany’s Third Reich. It is, as you note, that of a 1400 years long ‘religious’ indoctrination.

Suppose Mossad alerted the terror-supporting goon to an attack on him personally? What then his reaction? Would he shrug it off? Would he order up extra security around himself?
The lack of caring shows in the lack of care. He doesn’t give a hoot about the Jews in Australia…or anywhere.
But if, for some reason, he travelled to Israel, he would expect that the Jews there would protect him from violence.

Are Jews safe anywhere? Migration of Jews back to Israel makes a lot of sense, in today’s world of antiSemitism, the evil, cowardly, hatred in Islam for Jews, Christians, and non-Muslims, makes me sick. I think the only way for Americans to deal with the insanity of Islam, close all mosques, deport all devout Muslims ASAP! Democrats will strongly object but, it’s our only course, to eliminate jihad, terrorism, and the likes of Muhammad and Allah. Who needs a civilization that wants to kill you, for being non-Islamic? Who needs a civilization that outgrows the existing civilization base, to take control? Are we so STUPID, we’ll do nothing in the face of totalitarianism?

This is what the elites want. everyone at each others throats. so they import 3rd world non assimilating trash into western countries with sole goal causing disunity and strife. so mad y western leaders need to be on trial for treason among other things.

First they come for the Saturday people, then the Sunday people, finally atheists and assorted infidels. When they run out of infidels, they start on each other – because that’s the way they roll.

Thanks to Daniel Pomerantz for this appalling additional information.

Albo and Wong, our Prime Minister and foreign Foreign Minister have blood on their hands. They allowed the antisemitic occupation of the bridge, reversed the Libs plan to move our embassy to Jerusalem, recognised the fictional “State of Palestine”, imported thousands of ‘palestinians’ from Gaza, prohibited Israeli politicians from visiting Australia and continually pander to the hard left antisemites in the Labor Party for political gain. They are beyond disgusting. A pox on them both.
If seven or eight of the people attending the Hanukkah celebration were carrying concealed, the slaughter would never have happened. These Islamic terrorists are cowards. They will only attack soft targets. The problem isn’t too many guns – the problem is not enough guns. Our politicians are bloody idiots. The Liberals disarmed us in 1996, and now Labor wants go even further. As the joke goes, when seconds count the police are only minutes away. But what is the first response of these morons? More punitive gun laws which affect the law abiding but are ignored by criminals and terrorists. We don’t need gun control- we need moslem control. And new politicians. To those who leap in with their gotcha point that the brave hero is a Moslem I say ‘so what. Does Schindler’s list, one good German, prove Nazi Germany wasn’t evil? Of course not – and one Moslem hero doesn’t negate the fact that Islam is an evil dangerous ideology which has no place in in a free society

Finally, Australians can see how self-serving, stupid and inept our putrid politicians are. They have been importing a voting block of religious fanatics, scroungers and ingrates who call us convicts and other rude names (like who the hell are they descended from?) . Now they’ve committed a massacre and our mealymouthed politicians are waffling on about more gun and speech controls in the most absurd manner. The average Aussie knows it will only apply to them, and the control will only mean more power in the hands of halfwit career politicians. Up and down the east coast hundreds of lifesavers stood in remembrance of the fallen. We don’t care that they were Jews, they were Aussies too. Those imbeciles currently in power have totally lost our trust, because the Muslims have been saying and doing whatever they please for decades emboldened by lack of action by the police, courts, parliaments, semi-literate leaders, and virtue signaling ‘celebrities ‘.

Such an attack is waiting to happen in the UK, following Sir Keir Starmer’s unilateral decision to withhold even defensive weaponry from Israel, which led to Mr Netanyahu’s reciprocal decision to withhold intelligence from the UK. These events are not mentioned on mainstream media – I found out via an X post which arrived in my inbox courtesy of a neighbourhood political discussion group – but, when I posted on an Israel current events site about it, Israeli commentators appeared to know what I was writing about. Intelligence from Mossad has stopped 17 planned atrocities on UK soil, and ensured that most of those that do occur are perpetrated by home-grown terrorists like Axel Rudakubana – now we are wide open to international threats as well.

Missed your post yesterday. Only saw it today. Thanks for this very pertinate information.
Two-tiered Kier never misses a chance to disappoint, to put it too mildly.
