If you live in the Global North, you will get to peer out at the horror, but slowly this horror, as the climate breaks down, will migrate home, turning most of us into Palestinians. Given our complicity in the genocide, it is what we deserve. – Chris Hedges.
Who would have thought that the massacre at Bondi would have links to India and the Philippines? So, how does a small ‘c’ conservative magistrate in Wynnum come to blame it on Palestine?
Sure, one of the guys injured was an Australian who went to Israel. But that looks like a religious move on his part and maybe even a career move. He did become a senior legal advocate for the genocide appointed by Israel while he was over there and even went to Gaza to lambast UNWRA.
Just what are the Australian press playing at? For some reason, they want to give Netanyahu air time. Why?
On the other side, the Bondi action was not as well planned as October 7. It was a father and son operation with no third party, and they took a bolt action rifle and a shotgun, really? Ok, suppose we accept the New South Wales police version and that the Akram’s had an IED in the car. There is no evidence it was armed.
A 50-minute drive across Sydney from the poorest Western Suburbs to the wealthy Eastern suburb of Bondi.
The first thing to be noted about Sajid Akram and his son Naveed was that it was a suicide mission from the get-go.
Let’s have a look at their names. Akram, yeah, of arabic origin, but that name is not confined to the Arabian Peninsula. Then, Naveed, well, that’s Farsi or Persian in origin, meaning good news. And Sajid, well, that’s very common name on the Indian subcontinent.
So even on their names alone, you would have to wonder what Netanyahu is banging on about blaming Albo’s recognition of Palestine as the reason for the massacre …. even if you naively believe the Israelis are not a seriously deranged society engaged in full-scale genocide of Palestinians. Which thinking people like jurist Chris Sidoti and journalist Chris Hedges are convinced of already. Not to mention millions of ordinary people.
Then there’s the other thing, Naveed was easily overpowered and disarmed by an older man. Naveed looked like a rank amateur, really. ASIO is now claiming Sajid and Naveed were trained in the Philippines. Well, if they thought that, why didn’t they do something about it? Bear in mind that their person of interest was the son who had the more powerful weapon.
Is Albo taking all this in? He does seem to be choosing his words carefully. But why give Netanyahu any credence at all. Only Trump will back Israel to bomb Persia (Iran) again. They killed a thousand civilians last time. For no reason.
Does the Australian prime minister seriously want to get into bed with these guys?? He must be shitting himself. All Albo has to do is stand in front of the ABC cameras and call the Israelis out for who they are: genocidal mass murderers no different to Hitler. The two Chris’s will back him up. Sidoti and Hedges. And so will the good Albo! And what serious Australian voter is gonna argue with them?
Who are really behind these anti-semitic attacks?
