Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
On Bondi Beach, in sunny Sydney, Australia, a thousand Jews were celebrating Hanukkah. Into their midst came two Muslims hellbent on murder. Before one was killed and the other wounded, they managed to kill at least a dozen Jewish victims. Andrew Fox, the former British Major and paratrooper, who is now a commentator on world affairs, has much to say about the Bondi Beach massacre, and other recent sheddings of Jewish blood, here: “Blood On Their Hands,” Andrew Fox, December 14, 2025:
Bondi. Manchester. Washington. Colorado. The list continues. Today, Jewish blood was shed on the sands of Bondi Beach. Twelve Jews were shot at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, with dozens more wounded. I am utterly furious. I am incandescent with rage. This horror did not happen out of nowhere. We all saw it coming. Again.
“Never again”? Yeah, right.
It was not an isolated act of madness in Australia; it exists everywhere. In Manchester this past Yom Kippur, a jihadist rammed a car into worshippers and stabbed people at a synagogue, murdering two Jews before police subdued him. In Washington, DC, an American gunman opened fire outside a Jewish museum, killing two young Israeli embassy staffers. As he was arrested, he shouted “Free, free Palestine!” to reveal the twisted ideology that fuelled his slaughter. In Colorado, an Egyptian immigrant attacked a peaceful pro-Israel rally with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, injuring seven; an 82-year-old woman later died from her burns. From continent to continent, Jews are being hunted.
Enough.
For two years now, since Hamas launched its latest war, a wave of anti-Jewish hate has swept through the West. The warning signs have been flashing: in Australia, anti-Jewish incidents tripled in the year after the war began. Similar spikes have occurred across Europe and the USA.
Swastikas on schools. Mobs chanting for intifada. Jewish students hiding their Stars of David. It has been escalating steadily. Now the inevitable has happened again – the hate has turned murderous. We know precisely who helped create this atmosphere. I am looking at everyone who fed this beast. Every single one of them has blood on their hands.
Everyone who spent two years spreading antisemitic blood libels straight from Hamas — blood on their hands. (They parroted every lie Hamas spewed, from fake “hospital massacres” to wild casualty figures. They stoked the flames that led directly to Bondi and beyond.)
Everyone sucked in by Hamas propaganda, who spent two years shrieking online about “Gaza genocide” or confected war crimes while excusing or ignoring Hamas’s atrocities — blood on their hands.
Everyone who attended the weekly hate marches in Western cities, those angry street mobs that normalised Jew-hatred under the guise of “Free Palestine” — blood on their hands. They created the permissive atmosphere for this violence.
Everyone who took Qatari or Iranian media money to peddle lies about Israel — blood on their hands. (They know who they are – the talking heads on state-backed TV channels, selling out truth for petro-dollars and spreading venom.)…
No more indulgence for the hatemongers. No more free passes for the enablers and apologists. Politicians: clean up this mess now, before it spirals further. Protect your Jewish citizens as you promised, or step aside for someone who will.
The blood cries out from Bondi, from Manchester, from Washington and Colorado. To all those who lit the fuse and fanned the flames: I hold you responsible. Their blood is on your hands, and it will never wash off.
This is one long uninterrupted furious cri de coeur from Andrew Fox, against all those who have been whipping up hatred for the Jewish state and for Jews, creating the environment in which such things as the Bondi Beach massacre become not just possible, but nearly inevitable. “Blood,” Fox says in his rhetorical refrain, “is on their hands.” And it will not be washed off. After such knowledge, what forgiveness?
Never Again means nothing in Israel – absolutely nothing.
In Israel only 6% of the Jewish population not in the IDF or Police have “permits’ to own a pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition.” A pistol against an fully auto AK 47. Damn that is stupid.
You need a “permit” to prevent you from getting killed, your wife/mother/sister/daughter from getting raped and all of them taken hostage. A Permit? Are you mad?
Israel has forgotten the lesson of the Vernichtungslager of Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek, Chelmno and Belzec.
Before October 7, 2023 that was stupid. After October 7, 2023 that is clinically insane.
Infiltration of liberals. Nickel and dime against any common sense or decency. They never stop and their attacks are always much more destructive than expectations.
I see your point, but I don’t understand how this comment connects to this article, which is not about Israel. Israel security forces foil thousands of planned terror attacks a year. There is a yearly private ceremony when the men and women who risk their lives daily to keep Israel safe, whose identities must remain secret, are acknowledged.
This article is about the rest of the non Israel world.
It’s about understanding, and now, absolutely knowing, and no longer being able to deny, how the Holocaust could happen, and that, oh yes, it did happen.
And it’s about the fact that, of course the Holocaust deniers know the Holocaust happened; like good little narcissists, and Nazis, they propagandize and manipulate and make up false narratives, like fake Islamophobia, so that now – and this is what is so insidious- the strategy is to get people thinking that IT DOESN’T MATTER that the Holocaust happened, and then, to actually BELIEVE in the ultimate sociopathic depravity that IT’S GOOD that the Holocaust happened and there could be no greater mission than to ‘finish the job’.
It’s about the fact that when morality and truth don’t matter anymore, hatred has free reign.
Jewish blood?
What would make you think “never again” would mean anything in Israel? It’s a secular country. Very liberal with strict gun laws, liberal abortion laws. All while they have a big celebration for gay pride month.
Insanity brought to you by…. Woke Liberals.
Well said! True & tragic🇭🇲😥
I guess any day now the “moderate muslims” will be asking not to be judged based on the actions of a few absolute “believers”! It should be evident to EVERY CIVILIZED NATION ! Better act before it’s too late – deport them all!
Ah yes, the moderate Muslim who will take away the sins of the jihadists. Watch out for this narrative; it’s already in play on some media platforms. Nope, that’s not how it works. An invasion is still an invasion even if some of them are good guys.
If the Muslims cant act civilized and go murdering Jews and all some can do is call for more useless Gun Control Laws/Confiscation and Radicals are not a bout to turn in their guns for anything
One of the main reasons that government leader and agencies as well as froth authorities in power are unable to handle the problem of Islamic terrorism is because they are operating of policy with the false premise which is that “Islam is benign and harmless religion.
They ignore the fact that “holy book” the Qur’ an ,as it instructs in Surah 47:4 , which instructs “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike of their heads until you made great slaughter among them…”
Since in Qu’ ran based Muslim worldview both Christians and Jews are “disbelievers” Therefore, in this month of December both the Europe Christmas market and that Australia Hanukkah festival Muslim terrorists attacks valid targets in the teachings of Islam.
There are also many other passages in the Qur ‘an that instruct devout Muslim to engage in vioence and killing of “disbelievers ” As in ,for example,Surah 2:9, 489. %33.9:5,123 47:4.
i have little faith that Australia will punish anyone for the attacks. if the survivors of the attack want Naveed Sajid Akram to continue to be detained, they should have neighbors testify that he hadn’t been wearing a covid mask and he was showing off his gun collection to the neighborhood children and let them take target practice with them..
Not wearing a covid mask could get him time in one of those covid concentration camps. The guns will probably be looked at the same way rape is, the indigenous need to understand ‘slime culture better. Not much chance either way, but it’s worth a try.
Ever so true again “Free palestine” is the new ‘Heil Hitler’. The reason why neo nazis attend “free Palestine” rallies and the tsunami of swastika attacks or false comparisons to WW2 by haters posing as caring for Arabs. Not one demonstration against the guilty genociders “Palestine” regime using its people as cannon fodders while gullible on campus (complicity bribed by Islamic lobbies especially Goliath Qatar) scream Pallyweid buzzwords
Since the crie du coeur “Never Again” was first uttered, subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Uganda and Rwanda are all but forgotten. The current Nigerian genocide is largely ignored.
Don’t forget Darfur!
The Holocaust is routinely denied in the Islamic World, especially by the “Palestinians” and their apologists. “Moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas”, who last faced voters twenty years ago when he was elected to a FOUR YEAR TERM wrote his doctoral thesis at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow (more a training ground for budding terrorists than an academic institution) denying the Holocaust. The Iranians sponsor Holocaust denial conferences that attract figures such as David Duke, as well as “progressives” such as Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff. They compare Trump (and Netanyahu) to Hitler, even though both the Left (the Molotov Von Ribbentrop Pact and carving up Poland and eastern Europe) and the Muslim world (the first “Palestinian” Amin Al Husseini, a Naazi propagandist who organized a Muslim SS unit in Bosnia) have far more in common with Nazis (National SOCIALISTS) than their enemies. What happened on Bondi Beach in Sydney embarrasses Albanese only because it was too big to ignore, although the 1,200 Jews murdered on October 7th were never even acknowledged by his despicable ilk.
dear steve , contrary to your statement that albanese was embarrassed , he wasnt and neither are his cohorts . he is a marxist to the core and marxists are never embarrassed . there is a photo of our esteemed leader meeting with abbas in his early political career . he is an anti semite of the highest order , a liar with no shame along with tony burke , both pro hamas and plo .
Yep.🇭🇲And these facts were surprised in the run up to the Federal election🤬
“Never again.” The cliche “never say never” comes to mind. Sadly, recent events bear this out.
Sorry… supressed🙄
