Anthony Albanese, the Australian tosser and Prime Minister, spoke movingly on Sunday about the Bondi Beach murders. How ‘this is not just an attack on the Jewish community, but on Australian values and way of life’, kind’a thing. He didn’t really have a lot of choice, did he? 15 people get murdered out on a beach in the middle of your main, and most multi-cultured, city, you have to speak up against it. Even if they are only Jews.

So why is he a tosser? What is his crime? In the 2 years since the October 7th massacre and the ensuing war, Albanese essentially ‘joined the wrong side’. Like Kier Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and so many other ‘leaders’ (‘plonkers’, more like), he embraced the Hamas-led narrative without questioning its validity or its motives. He adopted every spurious claim from Gaza at face value and went on a spree of virtue-signalling with accusations of ‘genocide’ and ‘child-murdering’ and ‘hospital destroying’, inflaming the passions of the vast majority of the uninformed masses who generally read no further than the banner headlines. He ‘recognised a Palestinian State’, even though there is nothing to actually recognise, and ‘demanded’ a 2-state solution, accusingly at Israel, even though no Palestinian has ever agreed to or will agree to, such a prospect. And in his frenzy of appearing on the moral high-ground, he, like all the other dickheads, allowed the ‘protests’ to degenerate into Israel-hate (don’t mind that) and then to Jew-hate (mind that very much).

You’re not going to ‘globalise the intifada’ from your mansion in Double Bay, or from your knitting circle in Shropshire. And more news, ‘from the river to sea does not mean from the Yarra to the Pacific Ocean. It refers to clearing all the current occupants from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea out, plus all their ‘co-religionists’ all over the world, if you follow the Hamas charter. And by doing precisely nothing as campuses all over America and Europe devolved into ‘no-go’ areas for Jewish students, as the Liberal lines easily and comfortably crossed from ‘anti-zionism’ to blatant antisemitism, this merry band of leaders dithered. They didn’t want to upset ‘free speech’, when it’s only really offensive and threatening to Jews. But they felt the growing wind of anti-Jewish sentiment growing. Enabling the Manchester synagogue attack on Yom Kippur. And then, a seemingly logical extension, to mass murder on Bondi.

So it’s all very well for Starmer, Albanese et al to stand up NOW and support their Jewish communities. Because at this precise moment, the world is unusually on the side of the Jews. But it’s simply too fucking late. They all had the power to prevent ‘the hate’ reaching critical mass. But chose to appease their left wings, to sit back and let the protests become more hateful, more inflammatory, more anti-Semitic because it was the easy option. They enabled the hate.

And here we are now. In a world where Jewish people in the main just don’t feel safe.

So fuck you Albanese, and fuck you Starmer and the rest.

Happy Tuesday
