There is a direct, undeniable line from "Globalize the Intifada" to today's Bondi Beach massacre

For years, "anti-Zionists" have claimed, repeatedly, that they are not antisemitic.

The claim was always false. Their rhetoric mimics classic antisemitism ("Zionists control the media," "Zionist-occupied government") and the underlying core of their argument is to separate Jewish peoplehood from Judaism as a religion, which is antisemitic at its very core.

Yet their denials are accepted by the media and politicians who want to ensure that the "progressives" are seen as espousing legitimate political positions and not hate.

What we have seen since is not criticism of Israeli policy, but the mainstreaming of antisemitism under the banner of "anti-Zionism." Zionism is no longer treated as a debatable ideology, but as an inherently criminal identity. Everything “Zionist” is reframed as genocidal by definition. This is not political speech; it is the moral authorization of violence.

There is no movement calling for the physical removal of people who sympathize with China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, or North Korea. There is a growing movement insisting that “Zionists” must be excluded from public spaces – and that demand has become mainstream.

Chants such as “Globalize the Intifada” and “Resistance by Any Means Necessary” are not metaphorical. Historically, intifada means the targeting of civilians. Claims that these slogans are non-violent are fig leaves meant to evade legal consequences, not honest descriptions of intent.

As this rhetoric escalated, the targets expanded.

Anti-Zionist activists moved deliberately from Israeli diplomatic sites to Jewish institutions. Synagogues became targets, justified after the fact by endlessly mutating rationalizations: the synagogue hosted a “Zionist” event; the synagogue itself is “Zionist”; the synagogue failed to condemn Israel as genocidal. The pattern is unmistakable. Jews are being targeted, with “Zionism” serving as the excuse.

The antisemites receive these messages loud and clear. And they act on them.

Before today's horrendous massacre in Bondi Beach, murdering a Chabad rabbi and at least eleven others gathered to celebrate Chanukah, the increasing attacks on Jews in Australia under the guise of anti-Zionism was undeniable. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry's annual report on antisemitism from 2024-2025 makes this crystal clear:

Graffiti of “Hitler on top Allah hu [Akbar],” “Free Palestine,” “Fuck Israel Jew dogs”, “Jew Dogs” and a dozen Nazi swastikas, all in red and black paint, on brick walls of synagogue, Allawah, Sydney (10 Jan. 2025).

Graffiti and firebombing of two vehicles, silver Mercedes graffitied with “FUCK JEWS”, Honda graffitied with “FUCK ISRAEL”, both set alight, and house doused with red paint, at former home of prominent Jewish leader, Dover Heights, Sydney (17 Jan. 2025).

Arson when flammable liquid doused on synagogue door and set alight while 20 people, including children, were inside for a Shabbat meal, Friday evening, Melbourne (4 July 2025).

Targeting of Professor Steven Prawer, Jewish academic and physics professor, and who wears a kippah, by about 20 anti-Israel protesters, most of whom were masked, some wearing keffiyahs, who broke into and occupied his office, started to damage his personal items and refused to leave for hours, meanwhile Chanted “Stephen Prawer, you can’t hide. You’re guilty of genocide,” did graffiti, put up posters and stickers in his office and refused to leave for hours.

Verbal abuse of 16 religious Jewish boys, aged 17 and 18, by several people including a woman in a burqa who threw her ice-cream at them and called them “Baby Killers!”, and a group of about 20 youths who screamed at them “Hitler should have gassed you all” whilst doing the Nazi salute, while walking to the beach, St Kilda Melbourne (3 Oct. 2024 – Rosh Hashanah).

Man pushed a Jewish male off his bike by shoving his shoulder, while yelling "Fucking Jews", "Free Palestine" and "You kikes" at the group of Jews near a synagogue, Melbourne (20 March 2025).

Anti-Israel protester threw an item at a Jewish man as he attempted to enter the venue holding a Jewish religious event, while other protesters sought to intimidate him by coming within 15 cm of his face, shouting that he was a “baby killer” and he should be ashamed of himself and that all Zionists are terrorists, Wickham Hotel, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane (31 May 2025).

The attack at a Chanukah party today was not a singular event. It was part of a continuum. The trajectory was predicted and warned about in Australia for years.

The anti-Zionists, including the ostensibly Jewish ones, have blood on their hands. So do the media and the politicians who strenuously try to separate "anti-Zionism" and antisemitism, drawing a line that never existed.

In 2023 there was an anti-Israel demonstration outside the Sydney Opera House where some people thought they heard a chant of "Gas the Jews." Such a public call would be illegal under Australian law. Police investigated and determined that the phrase was "Where's the Jews?"

That kind of threat against Jews is considered legal.

The calls to "Globalize the Intifada" and "By Any Means Necessary" are exactly as offensive, exactly as disgusting and exactly as inciteful as "Gas the Jews." There is no difference. Yet the tolerance of the "pro-Palestinian" phrases is exactly what leads to the horrific events of today in Bondi Beach.

It is long past time for the media and political class to confront reality: these protests are not about peace, human rights, or justice. They function as permission structures, inciting people to attack Jews while cloaking themselves in moral language.
