Australia’s Oct. 7 happened in the most unlikely place — a balmy summer evening in the most iconic beach in the country, known for laid-back surfers, Instagram influencers, fitness freaks, hippies, billionaires, leather-skinned locals and decidedly haram topless sunbathers.
Bondi Beach is a bustling inner-suburban crescent of golden sand on the Pacific where $30 million houses nestle among 1960s blond brick walk-ups crammed with Irish and British backpackers who sling cocktails and wait tables at the buzzy eateries along Campbell Parade.
On Sunday, this slice of paradise became the latest battlefront of the anti-Jew bloodshed that has seized the world since Israel was attacked by Palestinian terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023.
And it is all so sickeningly predictable.
Unchecked antisemitism, cowardly appeasement, lax policing and foolish immigration decisions half a century in gestation have coalesced in multicultural southwestern Sydney, an hour’s drive from Bondi.
Add to the mix strict gun control — for law-abiding Australians, but not for the homegrown Islamist terrorists and gangbangers who only last month were shooting 50 rounds from an AK-47 at a house in the suburb of Casula, just 6 miles down Cowpasture Road from Bonnyrigg, where the alleged gunmen lived.
