They Think We Won’t Remember

“An evil has been unleashed in this country that has been left unchecked … (This is) what takes place when you allow anti-Semitism to flourish” – Scott Morrison

The ‘pro-Palestinian’ mob are fond of blithering, ‘It didn’t start in 2023’, which is true enough, if not in the way these low-information hatemongers mean. They refer of course to 1948: which is the year ‘Palestinian’ Arabs were offered a generous two-state solution – and they rejected it with extreme violence. Just as they’ve rejected it every time since. It also happens to be the year almost every Arab country violently expelled Jewish communities who’d live there for centuries.

So, yes, the horrific terror at Bondi is just the latest deplorable peak in a hatred that has been allowed to fester in Australia for decades. But, while it didn’t start in 2023, it absolutely ramped up to critical levels in that grim year. It was the year Sydney’s Muslim suburbs erupted in spontaneous celebration of the worst massacre of Jews since the Shoah. The year a Muslim mob stormed a vigil at the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’

Yet, despite the clear and present danger of escalating violence and terror directed at the Jewish community, our political-media class did nothing. Worse, they egged it on, either tacitly, in the case of the Albanese government and the ABC with its biased anti-Israel reporting, or openly, in the case of academics, Islamic community leaders and Greens politicians.

Now, they’re out in droves, peddling their blatantly fake crocodile tears. Australians, Jewish Australians, aren’t having a bar of it. It’s too late: we’ve seen who they are for the last two years and more. Woodenly reciting empty rhetoric fools no one. We’ve seen what you cheer on.

Sheina Gutnick, daughter of hero Reuven Morrison, who was killed at Bondi Beach while throwing bricks at the terrorists, said the Australian government had failed the Jewish community.

Gutnik, based in Melbourne, told American broadcaster CBS News that “my dear father Reuven Morrison was shot dead for being Jewish at a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach” […]

Asked who had failed her father and her family, Gutnik said: “The Australian government, absolutely.”

“They have had the warning signs for so long. The Jewish community has been begging and begging and begging for action. And it has fallen on deaf ears.”

Piling insult on injury, the very politicians who’ve done the most to stoke the flames that set fire to Bondi have the bare-faced gall to show up with their unconvincing crocodile tears.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has said he understands that “emotions are high and people are angry” after he was heckled while laying wreaths with AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett at the site of the Bondi terror attack.

“It’s very raw and that makes complete sense … people are grieving. This is a horrifically difficult time,” he said.

Mr Burke received a frosty reception while attending the site of Sunday’s attack, with angry community members shouting at him as he left the memorial.

“Shame on you Tony Burke. You have let this happen. This is your fault. Blood on your hands Tony Burke,” they screamed.

Burke, remember, represents the most heavily-Muslim seat in Australia – and he acts like it. He secretly connived to sneak ISIS brides back into Australia, and openly flooded more than 3,000 Gazans – where anti-Semitism runs at over 98 per cent – into the country. In fact, he personally welcomed them at Sydney airport. Worse, the Albanese government showered $30m on a jihadi organisation that openly promoted violence against Jews.

Burke wasn’t the only one insulting the dead with duplicitous, obviously fake hand-wringing. Putrid Pakistani Muslim Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi, who led chants of genocidal Hamas slogans in parliament and dismissed the disfiguring of the Australian War Memorial with the Hamas death-mark as ‘just a bit of paint’, had the absolute gall to show her face at Bondi. Despite repeated invitations to do so from Jewish-Australian journalist Sharri Markson, Faruqi refused to apologise for her part in stoking anti-Semitism. Worse, her sidekick tried to claim that the Bondi massacre was ‘nothing to do with anti-Semitism’.

The Jewish-Australian community aren’t buying the lies and fake condolences.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has been booed and heckled on Monday night at a Hanukkah event in Melbourne’s south-east.

Ms Allan, most of her cabinet ministers, Opposition Leader Jess Wilson, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles and a number of other federal MPs attended the Caulfield Shule in a show of bipartisan support for the Jewish community in response to the Bondi Beach terror attack.

But when Zionism Victoria president Elyse Schachna mentioned Ms Allan’s name to the congregation, attendees said members of the synagogue booed and jeered the premier.

Some Jewish-Australians are far too polite, even to the worst offenders in the anti-Semitism crisis.

A Bondi Beach terror attack victim’s daughter has demanded the ABC “cut out its biased reporting” about Israel while appearing on the public broadcaster’s own breakfast television show.

Victoria Teplitsky [said] “How are we feeling? Is this what you wanted? Is this enough now? Will you listen to us?” she replied.

“[Anthony] Albanese? [Penny] Wong? Will you listen to us? Will you do something?

“And ABC, I’ve got to say, will you cut out the biased reporting … will you cut it out? Will you let us have a voice?”

The ABC got off far too lightly.

So have all the rest of those guilty for paving the road that led to this hell.
