In December, terrorists opened fire at a Sydney Jewish festival, killing 16 people.
The massacre was only the latest attack on Jews in Australia.
Who does Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese decide to pander?
Muslims.
Albanese attempted to visit one of Australia’s largest mosques to mark the end of Eid.
The crowd greeted Albanese and Tony Burke, the home affairs minister, by calling them “genocide supporters” and “putrid dog.”
They even chant “Allahu Akbar.”
As the crowd pushed to get closer to Mr Albanese, Gamel Kheir, the mosque’s secretary, pleaded for calm. “Respect the place you’re in,” he said as altercations broke out.“We must engage and have frank and open dialogue with our political leaders, and not shy away and be reclusive.”He was drowned out by shouting, with another attendee yelling: “You called him honourable – he’s responsible for the deaths of one million people, one million of our brothers and sisters.”One attendee was seen having his mouth forcibly covered by another in an attempt to stop him from shouting.Security rushed Mr Albanese into the mosque’s administrative offices. He was then ushered out of an exit, with his motorcade departing to cries of “shame on you” and the slur “Alba-tizi” – a derogatory Arabic play on his surname, referencing buttocks.
The thing is, Albanese is left-leaning. He’s condemned Israel for going into Gaza, but also said Israel has a right to defend itself.
Albanese supported the strikes on Iran, but yesterday, he pleaded with the U.S. and Israel to stop.
Antisemitism has been creeping up in Australia, which Katya catalogued after the Bondi Beach massacre.
“In the aftermath of the 2023 Simchat Torah massacre, Australia emerged as the most inhospitable diaspora,” wrote Katya. “On October 9, when the IDF was still clearing southern Israel of the Gazan butchers, a crowd of over a thousand Muslims—some believe that the future Bondi Beach assassins were among them—gathered at the steps of the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews’ and ‘Where are the Jews?'”
Katya noted the same actions happened after Bondi Beach:
In a pattern that became familiar in the aftermath of the Simchat Torah massacre in southern Israel, antisemitic public pressure escalated immediately after the terror attack. For instance, during the vigil for the victims held at the location of the slaughter one day after, the pro-Palestinian activist Michelle Berkon demanded the removal of Israeli flags. Protesters have been “taunting” the Bondi vigils with calls of “globalized intifada”. According to the Jerusalem Post, antisemitic incidents rose sixfold following the terror attack. New South Wales police say that they are unable to protect Jews if they were to hold a Bondi vigil.
