News items about the Terrorist attack on Hanukkah at Bondi Beach Australia
As I have many news items about this I will put them under different headings for ease of reading.
In am mainly focusing on the news from Australia.
It appears Australia is the canary in the coal mine.
In other words, it shows how a weak country without strong leadership will end up being taken over by a stronger group of people and how terrorism will take place when marches and protests against Jewish people are tolerated which will lead to violence and eventually death which the news items will show that are given below.
Due to the weak labour government under a weak PM who was all for the Palestinians in his student days and how he still is for the Palestinians and against the Jewish people and how he is playing politics with people’s lives ignoring the dangers of extreme Islam and seeks the vote of the Muslims even in the mosques over the lives of the Jewish citizens of Australia.
Australia reflects the true situation in all western nations of the world who have lost their moral compass and are doing the same things against the Jewish people as Australia has been doing ever since 7 October 2023.
As terrorism against Jews happened in Australia it will also take place in other western nations around the globe.
In this blog I am looking at things from a natural perspective and in the following blog I will be looking at things from a spiritual perspective in other words from God’s perspective.

Australia’s response to the terrorist attack on Bondi Beach is to strengthen gun laws which misses the whole point of what is the real cause behind this terrorist act.
The real cause is hate and the rise of Islamic extremism in Australia and around the globe but this is totally ignored by the blind to the truth Prime Minister and his cabinet of left leaning labour ministers.
They think by buying back guns it is going to solve the issue whereas they will not solve it. It is not like Port Arthur where such a gun buyback scheme worked.
They are not dealing with ideology which was behind the terrorist act against the Jews on Bondi Beach on the first day of Hanukkah this is what they must deal with. It is not guns but the ideology behind those attacking the Jews who are so filled with hate that they cannot be reasoned with.
It is not so much the gun that is the issue but the ideology that uses the weapon of attack whether it is a gun, knife, car being driven into crowds, explosives etc.
Or even propaganda that poisons the minds of those who are being exposed to it.
Immigration and ideology must be addressed as people fleeing from Gaza and other places that hate the Jews and Zionism and even who attack Christians based on their understanding of the Koran must be stopped from entering into Australia and other western nations who come in as immigrants but don’t leave the hatred behind in the lands they have left they are instead importing the hatred into the new lands they are settling in.
These things must be watched for and dealt with decisively they must understand that such hatred or terrorist acts will not be tolerated not just in Australia but in all western democratic nations.
What they are chanting in their protests is not free speech but calls to murder people of a certain ethnic and religious background be they Jews or Christians. It must not be seen as harmless rhetoric they mean harm by what they say though their protests and chants they intend to incite to violence to kill and wipe out the Jews and eventually the Christians and those who are not in agreement to their ideology of Islam.
Gun laws that the Government of Australia want to bring in
These gun laws will not affect the ones who want to do harm to the Jewish people who are Australian citizens or visitors to Australia they will harm those who have a right to have guns such as farmers, recreational sports people who use guns to hunt and those who are training for the Olympics.
If they did searches of certain mosques in the big cities of Australia or religious schools they may indeed find huge caches of weapons that should not be stored in these places.
The police should be looking into this and not just hitting on those who have the right to have weapons.
It must be asked why there is such a lot of weapons being bought and kept in cities where there is no need for such a large number of weapons.
National leaders agree to ‘strengthen gun laws’ as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announces reform options
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a series of gun reform options to be investigated by Australia's governments, with leaders agreeing "immediate action" is needed.
