The Jihadists Among Us

Antisemitism is increasing globally, but more so in Australia, especially Melbourne and Sydney. From 2024-2025 alone, there has been continued vandalism and graffiti on Jewish places of worship or residence, right through to violent attacks, slurs and intimidation towards Jewish people. In one of the latest terror attacks on Jews, a Jihadist gunned down fifteen innocent civilians, including a 10-year-old child, at Bondi Beach’s “Hanukkah by the Sea” on Sunday, 14th December. The hatred that drives this kind of behaviour is incomprehensible. On Christmas Day, a ‘Happy Hanukkah’ sign on a Rabbi’s car was deliberately firebombed outside his home. It seems the Jewish people cannot live in peace anywhere.

One would think that with the ongoing terror attacks, the Australian government would get to work on closing the border and deporting all jihadists. However, they are too busy blaming guns, nazi larpers and other right-wing groups to call this out for what it is, an immigration catastrophe. Importing masses of people from countries that hold values totally different to ours is a mistake. The Albanese government’s failure to acknowledge this simple fact is suspicious. It begs the question, “What benefits are they getting?” At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, we are all aware of the strong economic ties Australia has with Qatar, one of the wealthiest countries in the Middle East. The Qatari Prime Minister has also refused to accept Palestinian refugees to avoid a new “Nakba”, yet Australia accepts them by the thousands. Is that not perpetuating a new “Nakba”?

The Australian government has blood on its hands and a lot to answer for. Why weren’t these Jew-hating imams deported and jihadist-harvesting mosques shut down and defunded? Why were individuals on the ASIO terror watch list allowed access to firearms? Why are obvious terrorist organisations such as Hizb ut-Tahrir allowed into the country when other nations have banned them? Albanese, as the leader of the ALP, needs to accept accountability and responsibility for this gross incompetence and the lives tragically lost on that terrible day on Bondi Beach.

Since the Bondi terror attack, many Jews are talking about leaving Australia and making Aliyah. Many have closed their businesses due to ongoing violence and threats, for example, the Jewish-themed bakery, Avner’s Bakery, run and operated by celebrity chef Ed Halmagyi. Throughout history, the Jewish people have only ever attempted to live peacefully alongside others and generally keep to themselves. Globally, every day Jewish people have always minded their own business, striving to establish communities for themselves, care for their families, work hard, and support one another. They want to grow their people and cultivate a land and culture that is safe and prosperous for themselves and everyone around them. Unfortunately, the nasty, jealous, spiteful mutants who live alongside them are hell bent on destroying all that’s good, wholesome and pure by constantly sabotaging them. It’s almost like a dysfunctional marriage where one spouse is constantly flinging dirt at the other while she is trying to clean the house. All attempts to confront spiteful mutants are useless because they will reverse blame and play the victim. We saw this after the 7th October 2023, which gave rise to the ‘war’ in Gaza. Israel is still seen as the perpetrator and Gazans as victims.

So the pro-Palestinian protesters remain undeterred, continue to grow in number and political strength as we see politicians such as Mehreen Faruqi, Adam Bandt, Jacinta Allan, Jason Clare, Penny Wong, and Albanese himself turn a blind eye to terror flags and extremist messaging instead blaming Islamophobia. What a joke! The fear of Islam exists because of the terror attacks. Islamic extremists are hell-bent on globalising the Intifada, and they make no secret of this. I’m not talking about everyday Muslims either. My in-laws are Muslim, and they too fear an Islamic caliphate takeover by jihadists. It’s time to increase pressure on the leaders to make the right choices for all Australians who want to live in peace. We need to let them know that elections have consequences and people power will cry out in the ballot boxes if they continue these suicidal attempts to destroy our nation.

As a people, we must draw inner strength through faith in Christ. We know Jesus had His own jihadists around Him constantly trying to undermine and destroy His goodness. We cannot expect much more in this world. If they hated Him, they will hate us. Stay strong and look up! He is coming back, and He is riding on a white horse.

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Rev 19:11-16
