[December 17, 2025] The primary purpose of a democratic government is to protect life, liberty, and property of their citizens. In another case on the brink of self-destruction, Australia’s government leaders have abdicated that core purpose, and have consciously allowed antisemitic, anti-Western forces to grow unchecked inside their country.
On the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, a mass killing of Jewish families took place at Australia’s Bondi Beach in Sydney. This time, the toll is 15 dead, and at least 40 injured. What we are seeing here is the junction of two massive trends; 1) immigration of radical Muslims into the West and 2) Western government leadership abdicating their responsibility to quell the tide of rising anti-Semitism in their countries.
Thanks to an off-duty detective and a Coptic Christian civilian (some reports say he was Muslim), the two Muslim shooters were stopped. The fact that these two Muslim terrorists were allowed to keep shooting for 30 minutes without being stopped by the police is shocking. Police were present and simply didn’t act. Furthermore, Australia’s government was warned in advance about potential attacks on Jews.
“I’m appalled by the murderous shooting attack at a Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia. These are the results of the anti-Semitic rampage in the streets of Australia over the past two years, with the anti-Semitic and inciting calls of ‘Globalise the Intifada’ that were realized today. The Australian government, which received countless warning signs, must come to its senses!” — Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar
Like so many of the West’s governments, Australia has been warned for years that the continuous antisemitic vitriol in the streets of their cities would turn into antisemitic violence if left to grow unchecked. This is the predicted outcome of calls for “globalize the intifada and all Zionists are terrorists.”
Australia’s Labor Party government made the “compassionate” decision to import Islamic asylum-seekers from Gaza and elsewhere. This decision has largely gone unnoticed by the media, and rarely mentioned in government sessions. What seems to happen is that there is a deliberate tactic to avoid any discussions of this radical policy.
Australians live in a fantasy of a social melting pot. At the same time, the government’s love of multiculturalism has been discredited by reality. An indicator these ideas have failed is how the country’s Jewish community is treated. Violence, vandalism, and public insults have been growing as a result.
Sadly, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government alienates Australia’s Jewish community by favoring the Palestinian cause and by accepting unvetted Muslim migrants.
”Co-opting iconic public settings such as Sydney’s Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach for their purposes, tens of thousands of anti-Israel acolytes supported by masses of “far-leftists” brought abrupt attention in Australia to the potential for escalating Jew-hate.” — The Gatestone Institute, Nils A. Haug, December 16, 2025
The good news is that many Australians have said they had enough. In major cities, organized and well-attended demonstrations that support Australia’s traditional Western values have taken place. The government says these demonstrations are being run by neo-Nazis.
”When your enemies vow to destroy you, believe them.” — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Australia’s leftist-leaning government has failed to awaken to the disastrous, liberal immigration policies that allow tens of thousands of young men to come into the country without vetting of any kind. Australian Jews are paying the price for the failure of Australia’s government.

Please read my books:
Beyond the fact that this is disgusting, due to the utter failure and deliberate failure of the Aussie government, we also see where the same kind of antisemitic killings occured in America. What’a up with governments failing to do tghe very basic responsibilities? Uh, what’s up?
It is sad to see so many Western governments that have fallen for the “multiculturalism” ideology and couldn’t see the horrific downfall of their nation taht would result.
Good Dog, yep, and that is why we the people have to be vigilant and keep our politicians both informed and motivated to stop treating us like ‘subjects.’
Gen Satterfield, a hard-hitting, smack-in-the-face type of article that I like to read (as well as most of us too). The following quote says alot about what gen. Satterfield and most of us think of the situation. It also looks like the Aussies are waking up too. Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell, but let’s pray they get it in their heads that what they are doing is nothing short of cultural suicide.

🇺🇸 Oldie but goodie quote: ”When your enemies vow to destroy you, believe them.” — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 🇮🇱. BTW, you can’t make up how bad the news media is today. They are on the side of terrorists and communists. 🇺🇸
MALFEASANCE
Douglas,
I just came across your website when I was looking for comment on my book about my father.
Ride to the Sound of the Guns The Life of a Cold War Warrior, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Theodore C. Mataxis.
I came across your review of another with same title a few years back. There is a 17 minute video
covering his life on my website. Legacyofduty.com . H. R. Master did the forward to the book and several 4 stars have
recommended it. It was published by Casemate in August in the US. Would yo be interested in doing
a book review or author interview? This is my first book and getting the word out is harder than writing
the book.
Theodore, yes, I’d be honored. I sent you an email discussing it. I often do book reviews on sites like Amazon.
Australia proves once again that any Left-Learning Government will fail, and fail absolutely once things get tough.
No one should be too surprised. When a country gets comfortable, they often elect “compassionate” politicians who promise to be “for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, country of origin, sex, occupation,” and so on. They love to be loved. But that doesn’t work. They need to be noncompassionate in carrying out their core purpose. Australia is failing much like Britain and much of Western Europe is failing. This social experiment is not working out too well, but the politicians in charge are now caught in the pandering ways and cannot back out. If they decide to reverse course, then those who are being giving unearned and undeserved advantages will rise up. What this reallly boils down to is the Leftist politicians are abject cowards. Yep, cowards are in our midst and they want to destroy everyone but those who are offered special privileges. Wow, talk about retarded.
I.S., great comment. This is when compassion skills. A better way of saying it, I think that dr. Peterson said in some lecture somewhere, “Compassion doesn’t scale.” Meaning that compassion is great for the infant but compassion higher than that doesn’t work. You can’t treat your citizens like infants. 👀
POW, and I always thought the Australian government were practical, democratic, unbiased, and protective of their countrymen. I was wrong. Their leftist government loves to hit on Israel because it’s popular in Leftist socialist circles. Whatever the most recent fad, they’re onboard with it. ‘Blowing in the wind’ was a song long ago, but perfectly describes their govt. Nothing like a leadersless blob of idiots running a country.
Labor Party looks away from their policies.
