Sky News Host Slams Albanese Government in Fiery Monologue on Bondi Beach Massacre

In a powerful broadcast from the eerily silent shores of Bondi Beach, Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny delivered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor government, accusing them of weakness, false equivalence, and failing to confront Islamist extremism and antisemitism in the wake of the "unthinkable" terrorist massacre that claimed 15 lives at a Hanukkah event.

Standing at what he described as "one of my favorite places in the world, Bondi," now "rocked into an eerie silence by an unthinkable massacre," Kenny highlighted the victims, noting the youngest was 10-year-old Matilda, alongside Alexander Kleytman, Daniel, Peter Meagher, Rabbi Eli Schlanger, Reuven Morrison, Rabbi Yakov Leverton, and Tibor Weitzen.

With 42 others hospitalized, Kenny called the attack on a summer Sunday "an unAustralian act" in "a more Australian setting," declaring Bondi "our ground zero in the fight against anti-semitism and Islamist extremism."

"If Port Arthur was our 9/11, then yesterday's barbarity was our October the 7th," Kenny said, marking the 11th anniversary of the Lindt Cafe siege. He accused politicians, "especially Anthony Albanese and this government," of repeatedly ignoring warnings, denying the obvious, and averting their eyes.Kenny recounted escalating threats: cars graffitied, shops vandalized, synagogues burned, daily protests chanting to "eliminate Israel from the river to the sea" and death to the IDF, including chants to "globalize the intifada" on Bondi Beach three months ago.

Despite assurances the government had it under control, "we now have seen what globalizing the intifada means."He slammed the lack of action after celebrations of October 7, 2023 atrocities and chants at the Opera House, dismissed because they said "Where's the Jews?" rather than worse.

"Where are the Jews? Well, they're here at Bondi, threatened and intimidated for two years, abandoned for two years, and now 15 innocent people dead."

Expressing solidarity, Kenny said: "The Jewish community are hurting today. Today, all Australians wrap our arms around them and say, 'We stand with you. We will do whatever is necessary to stamp out anti-semitism. It is a scourge and we will eradicate it together.'"

But he charged Albanese has "not done all he could," failing to call out Islamist extremism, implement recommendations from his special envoy against antisemitism, and instead appointing an envoy for Islamophobia - "When has that been a problem in Australia?" Kenny called this "false equivalence" not only weak but dangerous.Quoting his own editorial from October 9, 2023: "Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong disgust me.

They have stood by while the Australian Jewish community has been terrorized and their constant demonization of Israel has only fueled this anti-semitism in our country. It is delusional, but it's also dangerous... The political left, our own government, most of the media and the protesters have rewarded terrorism." Kenny accused Albanese of caving to extremists, speaking at a mosque without mentioning October 2023 atrocities the day after a cleric celebrated them, and recognizing a "non-existent state of Palestine," rewarding Hamas and extremists.

Responding to Albanese's statement – "Australia will never submit to division, violence, or hatred" – Kenny retorted: "But you have submitted to it, Prime Minister. You have given the anti-Israel crew exactly what they wanted. You've attacked the victims of terrorism rather than those who inspire it."

Citing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "Your government did nothing to stop the spread of anti-semitism in Australia. You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were growing inside your country. You took no action. You let the disease spread."Kenny urged Albanese to engage Muslim communities to root out extremism, implement envoy recommendations for stronger policing, but primarily "call out the actual problem, the ideology." Noting terrorists use knives, guns, cars, planes, fire: "You can't battle Islamist extremism without taking on the hatred."Criticizing police reluctance to discuss motives and an ISIS-style flag,

Kenny called the gun focus a "welcome distraction" for the Prime Minister, who pivoted to tougher gun laws. "The gun debate is a distraction because even without guns, extremists wreak havoc... When you focus on guns, you miss the main point, the ideology."

Describing Islamist extremism as about chaos, scaring Jews and others for a global caliphate, Kenny warned: "Australia is weaker than it was last week. And the Islamists are stronger and inspired... You can't reason with this, Prime Minister. I implore you, for the 200th time, take it on."

Finally, to viewers: "We need to accept that this is our problem... It's an assault on our country, our values, and our future. Speak up. Condemn it. Don't cower... We outnumber them. They're just a lot noisier. If Australia stands for anything, it stands against this."

The monologue resonated widely, with viewer comments echoing outrage: calls for Albanese's resignation, accusations of prioritizing votes over safety, and criticism of shifting blame to guns rather than ideology.

As investigations continue into the ISIS-inspired attack, Kenny's broadcast captured a nation's grief turning to demands for stronger leadership against extremism.
