Our right wing media, posing once again as the voice of the nation, wasted no time politicizing the shocking events that occurred in Bondi despite the fact that we know next to nothing yet about motivation nor much about context. The immediate result is that Minns, as right wing Labor has always wanted to do, is on the cusp of banning pro - Palestine marches and indeed, implementing all of the other draconian recommendations of the Antisemitism envoy. Our right to speak freely is now under assault.
Most of our disengaged, let's face it, uninterested in much at all community, never need any context which is fortunate in a way since none is ever provided by our agenda focused rightist media. Context is a difficult bugger because it complicates issues and very often, but not often enough, leads to Cognitive dissonance. For others it means more bloody reading and the torture of actually having to think more deeply.
For 2.5 years we've witnessed ethnic cleansing to the tune of probably nearly 100,000 innocent Palestinians brutally terminated. Thousands of us have felt strongly enough to protest every weekend at the egregious and endless barbarity on our screens and that exposure and the reactions to it, for our political establishment, sections of our local Jewish and indeed the State of Israel, had to stop. But even if this transition to violence occurred after 7 October, the argument that it was caused by the protests themselves seems spurious. If people are responding to the destruction of Gaza with militancy and confrontation - some of which is clearly anti-semitic - it is not because someone is telling them to globalise the intifada, it is because the military of the world’s only Jewish state has been mass bombing and starving a population of a surrounded enclave, sequestered there since 1948. This is utterly obvious, but simply needs repeating for base clarity. The intifada is globalised by the mere witnessing of this around the world. It is globalised in the sense that millions of us respond with the feeling in our hearts that we must do something about this. For most, that is turning up to a march. For some, it will flow along pre-existing or recently developed, anti-semitism.
This is the obvious linkage that the worldwide zionist movement and its wider allies are trying to break at all costs. They are treating the global pro-Palestine movement as if it were a movement based on a pure fabrication - as if it were a movement against chemtrails or somesuch.
The Chabad group, which organised the Hanuka event, is a global Orthodox sect that has expanded vastly in the last few decades, as a comprehensive outreach group. Pro-Israel (unlike some other ultraorthodox groups), Since the October 7 Hamas attack, and the IDF attack on Gaza, Chabad has become more tightly bound with Israeli military purpose. Local leader Rabbi Eli Schlager, killed in the Bondi attack, has been frenetically busy going back and forth from Israel, and happy to pose among IDF soldiers with missiles, shells and, in one ironical case, a sniper rifle. This raises the possibility that this was in part a targeted political assassination, with Schlager as the target.
We don't yet know that of course and will we ever know given the agenda of the OZ establishment. What is needed is full blown Royal Commission into the tragedy and its background. There are many questions yet to be answered and first up should be the ning nongs of ASIO always enthusiastic about frightening us but completely unable to protect us it seems.
