Rampant anti-Semitism is supported in Australia by an anti-Israel, actively anti-Christian, anti-Jewish immigration policy by the Albanese Labour Government.
A man has been charged after allegedly holding a Palestinian flag while making offensive comments and gestures reportedly imitating shooting motions on the Bondi footbridge where gunmen murdered 15 Jews celebrating the joyous (until the killings) Jewish festival of Channukah, supposedly a festival celebrating hope – but not, apparently, in Australia.
AJA’s Robert Gregory condemned the incident as a “sickening insult” to the victims. “Jewish Australians were slaughtered by terrorists at Bondi Beach, and now, just two days after the anniversary of October 7, someone has unfurled a Palestinian flag at the very site of that massacre. It is a sickening insult to the victims, their families and the entire Jewish community. Jewish blood was spilled on October 7 by terrorists, many of whom were displaying that same flag.
That makes the choice to display this flag at the site of another massacre of Jews particularly confronting.
The individual is ultimately responsible but the broader climate matters. The Palestinian protest movement has glorified terrorism, celebrated October 7 and excused violence against Jews which has created this atmosphere of hostility and intimidation.
The Albanese Government has not confronted this climate but rather has dismissed the concerns of Jewish Australians. Even in death, it seems Australian Jews cannot be afforded dignity and respect.”
The good news is that 2026 will witness as sharp rise in Aliyah from Australia encouraged by their current government.
The bad news is that there is little organised push back by rank and file Aussies to reclaim their country before they lose it.

They made their choice. Don’t tell them. Their loss is Israel’s gain. That would make the stuation worse for those who can’t make Aliya.
