We excised Brenton Tarrant from our consciousness because examining him would require examining the political culture that helped produce him. Meanwhile, elite networks use “combating antisemitism” to advance right-wing agendas funded by the same corporate interests that profit from inequality. Part 2 reveals how institutional power operates through selective attention to religious violence.
n the wake of Bondi, grief is being channelled into a dangerous misdiagnosis: that Jewish safety requires conflation, censorship, and punitive power. This essay argues for a public health approach to violent extremism, warns against collapsing Judaism into Israeli state policy, and shows how selective vigilance and entrenched Islamophobia undermine prevention and make everyone less safe.
The Bondi massacre was not caused by a Prime Minister. It was enabled by institutional failure and exploited for political gain. In two parts, this essay examines how grief was weaponised, why antisemitism is being dangerously misdiagnosed, and what would actually make Australians safer.
Fifteen people were killed at Bondi. Within hours, myth replaced scrutiny, and foreign threat narratives buried domestic failure. This is how disinformation, political opportunism, and institutional evasion turned tragedy into spectacle; and why the real danger remains unaddressed.
Fifteen people were killed at Bondi. Grief must come before politics. This op‑ed argues for facts over fury, rejects opportunistic narratives, and centres solidarity.
This isn’t satire; it’s the hard political arithmetic of a man for whom non-payment is a core strategy. Experts have already warned the plan’s mechanisms are ambiguous, fragile, and built to fail. Why would a durable peace be the goal? Donald John Trump has never settled his debts in full.
October 7 did not fall from the sky like a biblical plague. It was not spontaneous combustion. It was the predictable detonation of a pressure cooker sealed shut by decades of occupation, humiliation, and the kind of slow-motion strangulation that would make Kafka blush. Yet here we are; watching Western leaders clutch their pearls while the Israeli war machine turns Gaza into a graveyard, all under the banner of “self-defence”.
A searing indictment of Trump’s ruleless sabotage and the global drift toward normalizing tyranny. This piece calls for clarity, resistance, and the courage to name misrule for what it is—before the spectacle becomes the system.
This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a blueprint for entrenching occupation and calling it stability. For managing ethnic cleansing and calling it security. For weaponizing the very concept of peace to justify ongoing war in slow motion.
Australia’s Coalition postures as tough on national security, but their record tells another story: Iran scare campaigns, hypocrisy on Tehran trade, and the trillion-dollar AUKUS blunder.
