How Islamic Jew-hatred entered Australia, festered and then erupted. And the only way to slow its spread. For it won’t be stopped.
The Bondi Beach massacre was an act of naked, Islam-driven, antisemitism. The 3500-year-old ubiquitous bigotry, which has been rightly labelled ‘the longest hatred’, has flown the flags of Christendom, Naziism, Communism, Fascism, Supremacism, etc, and yet has always had one prey—the Jews; and one goal—their eradication.
From 8 October 2025, a specific manifestation of this hate raged unchecked in Australia. The government’s failure to fight it was glaring, not only in that country, but to the onlooking people of Israel and to Jewish Diaspora communities who were similarly being targeted in the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere.
The ‘specific’ form was Islamic; antisemitism as taught in the Quran, and as practiced by Muslim states, groups and individuals.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incentive behind the Bondi Beach attack a ‘perversion of Islam’.
He is wrong. This Jew-hatred is not an aberration of that religion. It flows in the mainstream. Antisemitism was taught by Mohammed; practiced by Mohammed and his followers. Islam has always singled out the Jews for what the Nazis in their rendition would term ‘special treatment’.
Over the last century, under its green flags and crossed scimitars, Islam has metastasised into the most virulent and widespread strain of Jew-hatred on the planet.
How did this intolerant, sectarian prejudice infect Australia, a country that prided itself in being egalitarian; whose watchwords are ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘social cohesion’?
The answer is in the question. While Islam damns democracies, it deftly exploits their openness to slither on in. And a phenomenon that has most effectively brought about that invasion is a Trojan Horse known as ‘the Palestinian cause’.
Universal sympathy for the Palestinian Arabs has been seeded by the massively disproportionate (and frequently untruthful) portrayal of their plight.
Simultaneously, antipathy of Israel has been stoked by the overwhelmingly left-slanting news media’s coverage of the conflict in the Middle East.
The last two decades has seen Australia (and others) open wide their doors to multitudes of Muslim immigrants who, simply by dint of their religion, have settled in the land as a swarm of ‘sleeper cells’ prepped to be woken when ready.
What’s important to lock into our understanding is that, while Palestinianism largely presents as a secular nationalist movement, the world’s 15 million Palestinian Arabs, and the terror organisations driving their cause—Hamas, the Palestine Islamic Jihad, the PLO/Palestinian Authority, etc—are 98% Muslim. They follow one creed (with Sunni/Shi’a variations), and share one design on the Jews and on their state.
Australia’s Muslims may comprise only a million of the country’s 28 million citizens, but their population growth has been dramatic; climbing 34% between 2016 and 2021.
Not that Muslims need to be a majority to turn the country in their direction. As in most western nations, Islam in Australia hitched itself to the red-flagged anti-Zionist/anti-Israel Liberal-Progressive side of the
political spectrum. It kept its head mostly just below the parapet however, biding its time…
That moment came on 7 October 2023, the day thousands of good (as in devout) Muslims, terrorists and civilians, butchered, mass-raped, and kidnapped Jews.
A day later, before the total number of the Israeli victims had even been established, the sleeper cells of Islamic Jew-hatred were out on Sydney’s streets.
The worst sadistic violence unleashed against Israelis since the rebirth of their state, and the bloodiest slaughter of Jews anywhere on the planet since the Holocaust, propelled Green/Red antisemitism into the open, exposing the extent of embedded public support for the Palestinian cause.
Attacks on synagogues, and Jewish-owned restaurants; bomb plots, menacing graffiti, mass rallies, motor convoys blaring slogans and threats in Jewish neighbourhoods…
“Where’s the Jews?”, “F-ck the Jews!”, “Globalise the intifada”, “Death to the IDF” and “Free Palestine! From the river to the sea”—the cries conflated the Israel-hatred and the Jew-hatred.
And the government’s response? After nearly two full years of escalating aggression it acted, not to clamp down on the antisemitism, but to pour fuel on it.
Albanese and Penny Wong responded to the pro-Palestine violence by recognising the non-existent ‘State of Palestine’ that the haters were fighting for. This appeasement only further incentivised them.
Three months later, Islamic terror tore into the Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach.
While the 14 December assault explicitly targeted that community, it was read as an attack on the whole nation; on what Australia stands for or, until that dreadful day, was believed to stand for.
The shock was stupefying; the countrywide responses, heartrending. Aussies from all walks of life put their arms around each other, made pilgrimage to the slaughter site and, in a deeply-moving moment, stood silently in Sydney, lamps flickering, as 2025 ticked out.
For weeks, arguments bubbled over how the worst ever terror attack on Australian soil could have happened, and what to do about it.
The government’s response was erratic. Refusing to acknowledge its dereliction, refusing to finger the real culprit, it fired off in every other direction: Tightening
gun laws, legislating a new hate speech bill, yielding to demands for a royal commission (which has already been rigged)…
Officials called for action to ‘tackle the problem’ and find a way to get the country to ‘reverse course’. But because none of the comebacks identify the root, none of them will help.
The political opposition, which has fiercely condemned the flood of post 7 October antisemitism, repeatedly castigated the government for its inaction, and denounced the recognition of Palestine when it happened, vowing to eventually cancel it.
But the Liberal Party’s policy, set during Prime Minister John Howard’s tenure and held to by all his successors, solidly supports the Two-State Solution which, it insists, is a moral imperative and ‘the right thing to do’.
It is most emphatically the wrong thing to do. And it is deeply troubling that these lawmakers remain obstinately blind to this truth: that the Two-State Solution is a deadly-serious existential threat to the Jewish State of Israel. They have no business whatsoever supporting it.
An LNP return to power will not be able to curb the, by now, deep-rooted Islamic antisemitism, unless it ends its backing for this non-solution. But right now, the prospects seem dim.
Palestinianism-fuelled Jew-hatred will manifest in Australia with ever-increasing levels of violence, for as long as the primary political parties hold to:
- The twisted conviction that the Two-State Solution is just;
- The baseless contention that the Palestinians have an ‘inalienable right’ to statehood on land they have never in history held national rights to;
- The fallacy that supporting ‘Palestine’ places Australia on ‘the right side of history’;
- The long-ago disproven fiction that this ‘solution’ will bring peace to the Middle East.
As for Australia’s Jews? The writing on the wall is blood-red. They know the history of their people; that there is nothing new under the sun. Antisemitism is out of the bottle Down Under; it won’t be put back again. (The 22 January 2026 Australian Jewish News report, An ‘all-out assault’ on the Jewish community, shows not what led to the Bondi Beach massacre, but what it has uncorked!)
As I read it, it looks like it’s time for Australian Jews to become Israeli Jews, and to come home.
