Saudi columnist: "Bondi Beach was horrible, but you know, the antisemites have a point"

Shaher Al-Nahari writes in the Saudi Makkah Newspaper his explanation of antisemitism.

It starts off reasonably, but then comes the inevitable "BUT":

In the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia, where a Jewish group was celebrating, the significance of the event lies not so much in its security or criminal details, but rather in its being a new symptom of a spreading global disease: accumulated hatred of Jews, transnational anger, and explosions of violence perpetrated in places with no direct connection to the original conflict zone.

This raises a deeper question: Why does this pattern repeat itself? Why does the political conflict in the Middle East transform into a global moral hemorrhage?

To begin with, shootings, vehicular attacks, bombings, and any act targeting innocent people because of their religious or ethnic identity can never be justified.

But this compels us to try to understand the underlying reasons that drive young people to transform their hatred into nihilistic and destructive acts.

Here it comes.

Israel, since its inception based on the concept of racial purity and superiority, has created an environment of intense conflict.

Historically, the conflict was a regional one, confined to a nascent state and neighboring peoples. However, in the last decade, it has transformed into a global moral issue, especially with the continuation of the occupation and the expansion of settlements, the repeated wars on Gaza, the policies of siege, house demolitions, ethnic cleansing, and the denial of the political and human existence of the Palestinian people.

Apparently, antisemitism didn't exist before 1948. Who knew?

What is happening today is not hatred of Jews as Jews, but hatred of a political symbol that has, through practice, become a moral burden on Jews themselves.

Aw, he cares!

Gaza, with its widespread destruction and immense human losses according to international estimates and humanitarian organizations, has become a stark symbol of the international system's inability to impose justice and peace.

This inability closes off the political horizon, crushes hope, and protects the perpetrator, leading some individuals to seek "alternative justice," even if it is illusory or criminal.

The painful irony is that this path harms Jews themselves, both inside and outside Israel. Netanyahu, while claiming to protect "Israel's security," is sowing the seeds of lasting fear in the long run and bequeathing to entire generations a legacy of timeless hatred.

...The Bondi Beach incident is a mirror of a civilized world that has failed to stop injustice at its source and now deals only with its scattered fragments

Oh, he is against terror. But you need to understand it, to contextualize it, to see the deeper meaning behind it.

And in the end, it is always the Jews' fault that people hate the Jews.

Which is exactly what antisemites have been saying since the time of the Pharaohs.
