Bondi Beach Massacre

Keeping the deaths alive

The aftermath of a crime has five objectives — define the crime and its extent, find out who did it, learn the motive, convict the assailant(s), and ascertain a method to prevent similar crimes. The Bondi Beach massacre has been defined and the assailants identified. Similar to other instances when Jews are victims, speculation replaces actuality, and the motive, which is usually a complex mixture of economic, political, psychological, and emotional, is replaced by one word ─ anti-Semitism, and with one objective ─ stifle dissent to Israel’s genocidal policies.

A segment of the public is aware of the exploitation of the killings of Jews to shape minds and favor Israel’s extermination policies, but the exploitation is not sufficiently recognized and not well attended. Israel’s military demolishes those who confront it at its doors; Israel’s worldwide army of dedicated followers demolishes those who confront Israel at external public and government levels. Inciting hatred of the Jewish people and using the expressions of hatred to rationalize Zionist policies and convince others of their necessity is the principal tool in the toolbox of those who advocate Israel above all. In order to subdue the criminal enterprise known as Israel and prevent the genocide portrayed as defense of the Israel state, highest priority should be given to a careful study of the terrifying “hatred” tactic and determine how to combat it. Start with examination of the latest atrocity to Jews and the compounding of atrocity to the victims ─ keeping their deaths alive to satisfy Zionist plans.

The perpetrators of the Bond Beach massacre have been linked to supporters of the notorious ISIS, equal haters of all peoples — Christians, Shi’a, Yazidis, Mandaeans, Zoroastrians, Atheists, Jews, and all non-believers. As heirs to al-Qaeda, ISIS members reflect Osama bin Laden’s’ trenchant views on Israel, expressed in his Letter to the American People, where he explains, “Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple: (a) You attacked us in Palestine.” This significant piece of history has been ardently suppressed, disappearing from original Internet sources and only available from those who maintain copies of the original.

Israel has identified itself as the spokesperson for Jewish people and linked world Jewry to its genocide of the Palestinians. Unable to attack the Israel mainland directly, ISIS extremists, who have no relation to or contact with those who endeavor to prevent Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, attacked what it perceived as Israel’s external population.

Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, immediately claimed, “there was an obvious link (ED: Obvious link????) between Bondi and the three hundred thousand people who marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge against the genocide in Gaza.” The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, said his state, “is moving to block mass protests from going ahead in the wake of the Bondi massacre.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese with these words, “”You took no action. You let the disease (ED: anti-Semitism) spread and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today.” A less gracious Anthony Albanese would have responded, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the horrific attack on Jews worldwide, and not only on Bondi Beach, are directly due to your genocidal policies and incorrect efforts of linking all Jews with your apartheid state, which provoke hatred of Jews.”

What happens in Australia and elsewhere deserves mention in the United States, but the happenings should remain in Australia and elsewhere. When Jewish life is involved, the usual course of events is misappropriated. Happenings to Jews all over the word, especially unfortunate occurrences, become everyday reading in America, adding to a recurring list of victimhood, as if the happenings were to neighbors. They remain in the public conscience forever. The Holocaust, which occurred in Europe, by Europeans, and to Europeans, is a daily part of American life. This does not occur for the Armenian genocide, the Rohingya genocide, the Rwanda genocide, and the many other atrocities committed upon ethnicities. Their victimhood barely enters the extensive U.S. media’s attention. How many Americans are aware of the atrocities committed by ISIS against Americans and their religious institutions?

NEW ORLEANS (AP), Jan1, 2025: “Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck down Bourbon Street, plowing into crowds celebrating New Year’s Day, killing 14 people and injuring dozens of others. Police shot and killed Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran who had proclaimed his support for the Islamic State militant group on social media.

Homeland Security News Wire:

On Sept. 28, 2025, at least four people were killed and eight others injured during a Sunday service at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Just a month earlier, two people died and 21 were injured during a Mass for students at the Catholic Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis….From 2000 to 2024, the dataset records 379 incidents and 487 deaths at religious congregations and religious community centers

A report from the Family Research Council found that there have been at least 915 attacks against churches in the United States since 2018. More than 436 hostile acts occurred against churches between January and November 2023, a number more than double the hostilities against churches in 2020 and eight times greater than in 2018. The hostile actions covered in the report included vandalism, arson, bomb threats, gun-related instances, and other deeds.

While researching attacks on religious institutions in the United States, the 2018 attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, where eleven Jews attending services were fatally shot, constantly appeared. Its prominence bothered me, and more rattling was the date – seven years ago. From the number of times, this atrocity is voiced in the media, my mind kept assuming it happened recently, two or three years ago. Haven’t read anything concerning the 10-year old shootings at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., where nine worshippers were shot.

Violations of Jewish life are given prominence over violations of other lives, and, no matter the cause — animosity to Israel or Zionism, severe hatred of Jews, triviality, accident, or misinterpretation — the violation is given a special designation ─ anti-Semitism. The word anti-Semitism daily bombards the senses, carries with it images of pogroms, holocaust, and Jew-hatred, and enters the psyche similar to the word Jihadist, provoking a Pavlovian response that immediately protects the supposed victim and lashes out at the designated accused. Hopefully, times are changing.

After organizers of an Adelaide Writers’ Festival announced it was “removing from its program Randa Abdel-Fattah, a lawyer, academic and writer who has been a fervent critic of Israel,” saying, “her presence was not ‘culturally sensitive’ after a mass shooting that targeted Jewish Australians,” almost 200 writers protested and withdrew from the festival. Soon, half of the festival’s eight-member board, including its chair, resigned. Later, the board cancelled the event and apologized for its decision to disinvite Ms. Abdel-Fattah.

This noteworthy response, numero uno priority for defeating Israel among our midst, is encouraging. Knowing that the movement to dislodge the Zionists from their grips on the cultural, political, and information institutions is growing and is active should encourage mass desertions from events that exclude those who express aversion to Israel and its extermination policies. Extending the desertions to all groups and persons that hint at support for apartheid Israel, so that these groups and persons are sidetracked, left to dwell alone in their fantasies, has rewards. Shunning, effective with Amish communities, can be effective with the worldwide community; why should the inhuman, those who approve tanks rolling over Palestinians lying in their tents and soldiers shooting children in their heads, be allowed to spread inhumanity? This might satisfy the fifth objective that appears after a crime; ascertain the method to prevent similar crimes and enable the Jews who faithfully follow the Ten Commandments to lead the other Jews out of their slavish devotion to the demented Zionists.

All well and good, but Israel’s supporters principal and most effective strategy has been, as explained previously, “have the word anti-Semitism daily bombard the senses, carry with it the images of pogroms, holocaust, and Jew-hatred, and enter the psyche similar to the word Jihadist, provoking a Pavlovian response that immediately protects the supposed victim and lashes out at the designated accused.” Defeating that strategy is essential to defeating genocidal Israel. One effective means is to use a similar strategy.

The Zionists capture contemporary generations by using incidents of “anti-Semitism” from past generations, you know — Captain Dreyfuss, Russian pogroms, False Protocols of the Elders of Zion (ED: Not so sure if it was false.), Holocaust, Leo Frank, etc. The latter person is still being well played and is an example of the manner in which a spurious charge of anti-Semitism is used to advance a cause. A short study reveals a lot.

Although convicted in 1913 by a jury of his peers for murder of a thirteen year old girl, after indictment by a Grand Jury that contained four Jews, Leo Frank has been portrayed as a wrongfully convicted victim of anti-Semitism. Not unique that defendants might be wrongfully convicted, thousands of examples; not unique that prejudice may drive the conviction, thousands of examples. In this case, we have one Jewish person in centuries of U.S. history, who has not been definitely proven to be either innocent or convicted by a prejudiced jury. Compare Frank’s case to hundreds of African Americans, who were proven not guilty and convicted solely by prejudice. Does the case warrant attention the person is still receiving in the year 2025?

We learn of the centuries old Leo Frank trial through the testimony of Leo Frank’s contemporary supporters and not from those who participated in the events of the era, Many legal experts at the trial, and many of those who have read the newspapers and records of the trial, agree with the jury verdict. One person’s well-researched opinion, who concluded Leo Frank was guilty, can be found at Leo Frank Papers, edited by a descendant relation of the murdered Mary Phagan, who, coincidentally, has the same name. It might be true that Frank was unfairly convicted; it is not true that evidence, mostly circumstantial, did not tend to a guilty verdict. Frank was one of the only persons in the factory where Mary Phagan was killed and was in position to commit the crime. It is true that Frank was unjustly lynched by a mob that believed his commuted death sentence was due to bribery. It is not authenticated that hostility to his Jewish religion played any role in the conviction — Jews, as the chosen people, have never been persecuted in the bible thumping South and no credible evidence of hostility to Jews among the jury has been proven.

The manner in which diabolical Zionists use a disputable past to capture each generation is apparent. A 1999 lugubrious opera, Parade, staged 86 years after Frank’s conviction (ED: Why was this event important in 1999?), eerily uses the murder of a young girl, the real victim, to portray the innocence of her convicted murderer. Twenty five years after its premiere, and 112 years after the trial, the play was revived at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Why? To capture the present generation in the contrived world of the anti-Semites who have spanned history and caused Jews continuous pain and sorrow, almost infinitesimal in the fifty states when compared to the afflicted Native Americans, Asiatic, Blacks, Amish, Mennonites, Catholics, Mormons, and gays.

Turn it around, take charge of the brainwashing, and instead of having the word anti-Semite conjure images of brutal gentiles lashing innocent Jews, have it portrayed as a Zionist lashing out at the Semitic Arab. Aren’t Arabs Semites? The image shows and the caption reads, “Anti-Semitic Israelis oppressing the Semitic Palestinians.” Making a mockery of anti-Semitism does not have to be done in a specific manner; stories, articles and press releases can display the anti-Semitic Zionists harming the Semitic Palestinians. New generations will be confused and the word anti-Semite will be diffused. It will lose its meaning and become superfluous.

Attach a group, an institution, or a person to a blasphemous word and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and soon the group, institution, or person will be automatically identified with the blasphemous word. This has been the modus operandi of the Zionists and their followers — terrorist Hamas, terrorist Hezbollah, Nazi Mufti and tens of others, anti-Semite Martin Luther and hundreds of others, self-hating Jew George Soros and tens of others. Demagogues make use of this technique to manipulate audiences, and for the Zionists, it has worked effectively. Why permit them to gain advantage with lies; why not gain advantage with truths?

The word Israel does not stand alone. Either of the adjectives genocidal, apartheid or oppressive should always precede the country word, forming a new name for the state without borders. Organizations, such as AIPAC and Anti-Defamation League (ADL) are now “apartheid Israel’s AIPAC” and “apartheid Israel’s ADL.” Individuals who support Israel are, as one example, “Israel above all Miriam Adelson.”

These recommendations to counter the brainwashing performed by Zionists on the entire world might appear rash, simple minded, and disorderly. I’ll be blunt. Nothing has advanced the genocidal Zionist cause as much as creating a Pavlovian response in the innocents who favor Israel. Nothing has been more detrimental to the Palestinian cause than incompletely recognizing the power of this brainwashing and inadequately responding to it. Revelations of the horrific genocide committed upon the Palestinians are meaningful, prominent and widely distributed. Revelations of strategies to halt the genocide are meaningful, not sufficiently prominent, and not widely distributed. The unending and daily toll of the helpless Palestinians tells the story.
