It took Elie Wiesel a full ten years to come to grips with the Holocaust before producing a masterpiece of 20th Century literature, “Night”. I did not require Weisel’s long walkabout of the soul; I had no family suffer in the Australian massacre. However, in my own humble, Jewish way I had to absorb the Bondi mass murder. I needed to process its meaning before writing about it.

The 1200 people killed by Hamas and its allies roughly equal the same number of Jews rescued by Oskar Schindler. The 1993 movie’s postscript noted that their descendants were approaching 10,000. Given the number of young people and babies murdered by IslamoNazis on Oct 7 alone, the Jewish people suffered the loss of generations far greater than the number of his rescued progeny. The PalArab population has grown significantly since 1967, adding to the 1.5 billion Muslims, approximately 20% of the world’s people. The Jews continue their desperate but determined battle to regenerate out of the ashes from 100 years ago. From thousands of years ago. And one of the largest majority groups in the world keeps killing them. IslamoNazis, joined by Western progressive national socialist democrats and neo-Nazi Christian nationalists, accuse Jews—0.02% of the global population--of genocide against a minority. As characters in Stranger Things would say, we live in the Upside Down.

IslamoNazis vow future Oct 7’s, its “resistance” against Jewish men, women, and children, be it those who are taking their first breaths or those whose lungs have breathed the air of Auschwitz. Shooting, gassing, burning, raping , beating Jews constitute the poisoned culture in its war on Judaica. It is a long established Islamic norm, practiced before the current iteration of the state of Israel; barbarity handed down like a precious heirloom, bellowing its Jewicidal orders of jihad across history, reverberating from its 7th Century origins into the 21st.

IslamoNazis, euphemistically called pro-Palestinians, claim a divine right to commit “by any means necessary” all crimes against Jews, a self-licensed power granted to themselves using “opposition to Israeli policy” as the pretext for legal immunity. Any Israel-hating anti-semite presides over their street-held kangaroo courts, as judge, jury, and executioner simultaneously with every attack; the guilty verdict for being Jewish never wavers, punished always by death.

Allah’s messenger said, “The hour will not be established until You fight with the Jews. And the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me so kill him! (Book 56, Hadith 139, quoted from SUNNAH.COM)).

Be they Romans, Christians, EuroNazis or Islamist ones, all have delivered a Sophie’s choice to Jews throughout the ages: convert or die. The accusers protest an apartheid Israel in the streets, on campuses, at government halls but are themselves the most severe practitioners. They demand Jews be subjugated, isolated, scorned, separated, excluded from all aspects of society—the very definition of apartheid.

“Break the mind, break the heart, break the spirit”, the German Nazi mantra motivating their unspeakable onslaught against Jews, emulated by their myriad anti-Semitic, anti-Israel enablers. With relentless assault and societal excoriation, they want to kill the soul’s Jewish existence by exacting a price too high to continue Jewish identity--epitomized on a beach where Hanukkah celebrants were shot to pieces on the happiest of Jewish holidays. Either way, the Jew dies, spiritually and/or physically. Oct 7 wasn’t new, only the latest clarion call from hell, the global intifada’s signal that the extermination of the Jews has begun anew.

Jews are not hated because of Israel--Israel is hated because of its Jewishness. Arbeit Macht Frei morphed into Globalize the Intifada. For the Jewhating Israelophobic world, Zionists have no rights or freedoms, whether for the individual Jew or the world’s only Jewish nation. Any act of self defense is a crime because they believe, like their 20th century mentors, the very existence of Jewish life—or a Jewish nation in their ancestral homeland, or anywhere else for that matter—is inherently illegitimate.

Israel’s founding by international law and then its defense in the 1948 War of Independence broke the Islamic monopoly in the midEast. The Naqba is the Arabs’ five armies’ failure to finish what Nazi Germany started—Jewish annihilation. Oct 7, Bondi and every attack before represent a proxy victory to redo history for the multiple defeats in the wars the Islamists started. Peace is not a goal; it is strategic propaganda for the western mind. The intoxicating joy they felt at the horrific crimes and truce-breaking invasion on Simchat Torah in 2023 clearly shows a greater love of mass murder of Jews than a wish for cessation of hostilities.

If you still remain perplexed why no Palestinian Arab state exists in Judea/Sumaria, or why peace has been so unattainable, you will find all your answers in the bloodied sands of Bondi Beach.
