Elder of ZiyonAntisemitism in Australia has been skyrocketing, with incidents quadrupling in the year after October 7, 2023. Attacks have included death threats, physical assaults, firebombings of synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses, and the mass doxxing of hundreds of Jewish artists, academics and professionals.
The Jewish community feels under siege—and the children feel it most of all.
That is why a grassroots Zionist group, Lions of Zion, has stepped into the gap with a simple, powerful slogan: “Unity. Courage. Pride.”
On December 7 they are running a free, family-friendly event in Melbourne called “Lions NERF Heroes – Beepers Operation.”
It features age-appropriate Krav Maga and situational-awareness training, a giant NERF battle, and a short, factual presentation about the Mossad supply-chain operation that simultaneously detonated thousands of Hezbollah pagers in September 2024 — an operation that crippled the terror group’s mid-level command structure with fewer than three dozen fatalities, almost all of them Hezbollah operatives.
Within hours of the event being posted online, anti-Zionist activists began flooding Victoria Police, ASIO, the Premier’s office and the ticketing platform with demands to shut it down. Their claim? That Jewish families are “celebrating blowing up little kids with pagers.”
That is a deliberate lie.
No children were targeted. No civilians were intended to be harmed. Hezbollah itself distributed the rigged pagers to its own fighters. The explosives were calibrated for maximum disruption with minimum lethality — a feat of restraint virtually unheard of in modern warfare. The operation saved countless Israeli and Lebanese lives by shortening a war that Hezbollah started.
Yet the same voices who stayed silent when Hezbollah fired 10,000+ rockets at Israeli civilians are now pretending to be “horrified” that Jewish children might learn about precision, ethics and survival.
Lions of Zion released a statement that every Jewish organization should pin to their wall:
So let us be unmistakably clear:We will not apologise for defending Jewish life.We will not apologise for Jewish strength.We will not apologise for celebrating moral courage in the defence of our people.…This gathering does not glorify violence. It honours the extraordinary ethical discipline of the IDF and Mossad …Some people cannot stand to see Jews strong …Our children will not bow their heads. They will not inherit confusion. They will not be broken by propaganda.
That statement is perfect. Damn perfect.
For once, a Jewish group refused to play the old game of apologizing, qualifying, and groveling the moment someone yells “but the children!” For once, someone said the quiet part out loud: We have nothing to be ashamed of, and everything to be proud of.
I wish every major Jewish organizations showed half this clarity. Too often they rush to water down language, distance themselves from “controversial” operations, or beg for approval from people who will never grant it.
Lions of Zion just handed the community a spine transplant.
If you’re a Jewish parent in Australia near Caulfield, register your kids today.
If you’re anywhere else, share this article. Leave a supportive review on the booking page. Push the truth to the top of Google and X before the professional outrage machine buries it.
The haters are organized, loud, and already writing to the police to stop the event.
We need to expose their hate.
