President Herzog, whose job is utterly ceremonial, thought he was invited to commemorate the Bondi Beach massacre and reset interactions because he isn’t Bibi. It turns out he was invited so they could beat him like a red-headed stepchild. Details about insults and anti-Israel protests at the link. Australian volunteer Zomi Frankcom was in a World Central Kitchen convoy providing cover for its Hamas escorts, not that PM Albanese cares.

[IsraelTimes] If you dared to hope that the massacre on Bondi Beach would give the country’s anti-Israel activists pause, forget about it. As they are showing, theirs is a deadly antisemitic agenda
It’s not remotely surprising that President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia is being met with protests by "pro-Paleostinian" activists falsely alleging Israeli genocide in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
After all, "pro-Paleostinian" activists in Australia, and pretty much everywhere else on the planet, have been demonstrating against Israel’s resort to war from almost immediately after Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...invaded southern Israel from a Jew-free Gaza Strip, massacred some 1,200 people amid unspeakable brutality, kidnapped 251 to Gaza, and vowed to keep on killing Israelis until the world’s only Jewish-majority state is destroyed.
These are not demonstrations regarding Israel’s prosecution of the war, or focused on the pro-annexation policies of a hawkish Israeli government, by activists genuinely concerned for the well-being of non-terrorist Paleostinians and noncombatants in any and all conflict zones.
Rather, these are concerted protests transparently designed to demonize and delegitimize Israel and Israel alone, in its entirety and its essence — to render Israel a pariah state with which no decent country should interact in any field, to deny it not only the right to defend itself but the weaponry and practical capacity to defend itself, and thus to aid Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime in their declared mission to wipe us out.
So the demonstrations against Herzog’s visit are anything but surprising. But they are particularly revealing, horrifying and despicable.
Twenty-seven months of orchestrated global activism have relentlessly spread a narrative in which the Jewish state, uniquely, can do no right, and calculatedly created a bedrock of empathy and support for regimes, terrorist groups, and individuals who seek to murder and maim Israelis and Jews wherever we are found.
And in that deliberately created climate of murderous hostility, in Sydney, Australia, on December 14, 2025, father and son Islamic holy warriors Sajid and Naveed Akram massacred 15 people at a Hanukkah party on Bondi Beach.
This was not a case of direct cause and effect. Naveed had links to a pro-Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling

But you might have wanted to believe that the deadly and terribly predictable turn of events in Australia would have given the country’s "pro-Paleostinian" activists pause.
Fellow Australians were bumped off on the beach for being Jewish. Now, the president of the nation-state of the Jewish people is visiting to try to bring the devastated Jewish community a little solace and comfort. And the protests are targeting him?
You might have wanted to hope that, if there were to be demonstrations to coincide with Herzog’s visit, they would have been held to demand that the Australian government take more effective measures to protect the Australian Jewish community, that it take more effective measures to tackle the ongoing stream of antisemitic attacks, that it take more effective measures to prevent the dissemination of hate materials online.
In truth, you would not have expected anything of the kind. We all know better than to be so naive. But that’s what should have been happening on Herzog’s visit.
For that matter, those "pro-Paleostinian" activists who purport to care for innocent lives, in the Middle East and beyond, should also have been out on the streets demonstrating on behalf of the people of Iran, who have been risking their lives — and losing them in the thousands if not the tens of thousands — to try to bring down their repressive, misogynistic, warmongering Islamic death cult leadership.
These were innocent people ruthlessly massacred by their own oppressive government, to widespread international indifference.
But, of course, in Australia as pretty much everywhere else on the planet, the "pro-Paleostinian" activists are not actually "pro" freedom for Paleostinians, or Iranians or anybody else, nor "pro" the right to live peaceably, in safety, under humane leadership.
They claim to be opposing ostensible genocide by the Jewish state. In fact, they are seeking to enable the destruction of the Jewish state, and championing the mass murder of Jews — even, if not especially, as it has been unfolding in their own country.
