This is Anthony Albanese’s Stupid Answer to Bondi Beach Massacre
Following the ISIS-inspired Bondi Beach attack, Anthony Albanese announced Australia’s largest gun buyback in decades, sparking outrage that he is ignoring radical preachers and antisemitic incitement.

What in the world is wrong with Anthony Albanese? In the wake of the horrific antisemitic terror attack at Bondi Beach, where ISIS-inspired monsters gunned down 15 innocent people, including a child and rabbis, during a Hanukkah celebration, the Australian Prime Minister's grand solution isn't to crack down on the radical Islamic preachers fueling anti-Jewish hatred in our streets. No, it's to launch a massive gun buyback scheme to destroy hundreds of thousands of firearms from law-abiding citizens. Because apparently, the real threat isn't jihadist ideology seeping into protests, it's your grandpa's hunting rifle.
Let's not mince words: this is cowardice wrapped in policy. The Bondi massacre on December 14 wasn't some random act of violence; it was a targeted jihad against Jews, carried out by a father-son duo waving ISIS flags in their car. And what does Albanese do? He stands up and announces the "largest" gun buyback since the Port Arthur reforms of 1996, vowing to "get more guns off our streets" and work with states on tougher laws to confiscate and destroy banned or illegal weapons.
Australia now has more guns than three decades ago, he whines, as if that's the root cause of terrorists radicalized by global hate campaigns.
Meanwhile, the streets of Sydney, Melbourne, and beyond have been overrun by anti-Israel marches laced with outright antisemitism—chants of "from the river to the sea," glorification of Hamas, and yes, radical preachers spewing venom that dehumanizes Jews and delegitimizes Israel. For over two years, since the October 7 Hamas atrocities, Australia has seen a surge in antisemitic incidents tied directly to these protests.
Jewish communities live in fear, synagogues are vandalized, and schools advise kids to hide their kippahs. Warnings from groups like the Antisemitism Research Center have screamed about the rising threat of violence, yet Albanese's government has dithered, offering platitudes like a "day of reflection" for victims and vague promises of hate speech crackdowns.
Where's the fury against the imams and activists who radicalize young minds, turning "pro-Palestine" rallies into breeding grounds for terror? Instead of deporting hate preachers or banning groups that celebrate October 7, Albanese targets everyday Aussies' firearms—as if disarming the public will stop ISIS fanatics from smuggling weapons or radicalizing online.This isn't leadership; it's a betrayal. Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, grieving and furious, called for a royal commission into antisemitism after Bondi, highlighting how governments have failed to confront the "ancient hatred" intersecting with anti-Zionism.
Even activists are pushing back against plans to restrict rallies, but the real scandal is the silence on the radical elements within them. Australia has become an "epicenter of antisemitic violence," with Jews wondering if they're next, yet Albanese's big move is to echo the far-left playbook: blame the tools, not the ideology.
Ed Halmagyi, the celebrity chef behind the now-closed Avner’s Bakery in Surry Hills, has expressed deep fears for the safety of Australia's Jewish community following the December 14 Bondi Beach terror attack, with sources close to the situation describing his view that further incidents are inevitable without stronger protections.
Halmagyi, known as "Fast Ed" from his long stint on Better Homes and Gardens, announced the immediate and permanent closure of his popular Jewish-themed bagel shop on December 17, just days after the ISIS-inspired massacre that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah event.
In interviews, Halmagyi has spoken of underestimating the rising dangers but now recognizing that motivated individuals have "many resources" beyond firearms. Reports indicate he believes the Bondi attack has made previously "unimaginable" risks a reality, and that further terror attacks targeting Jews in Australia will happen, not as a matter of 'if' but rather as one of 'when'.
Albanese was begged to do something against the rising tide of antisemitism. But as 15 people lie dead, his bigger answer isn't to address extremism and target extremists, but rather it's to ensure that even less people will be able to repsond the next time something like this happens.
No wonder Australia wants him gone.
