Whatever happens, one thing I am certain of: I will live until the end of my days opposing and denouncing Israel, Zionism, apartheid, and genocide. Does that mean I support the disappearance of the Israeli state and the Zionist cult? The answer is: Yes.

On that horrific day in Bondi, when so many Australians of Jewish heritage (or even 🇮🇱citizenship) were killed, especially the young girl:

has anyone bothered to ask how many Palestinian civilians, and young children, were deliberately killed by 🇮🇱 on that same day?

Murder of ANY civilians is very clearly Anti-Human, we should all realise that!!!

I think it was Chris hedges I read, who said 16 Palestinians were murdered and elsewhere I've seen 20. I follow quite a few journalists and analysts including just about everyone on Judge Naps' channel and sometimes forget who said what.

Apparently on average 30 Palestinians a day have been regularly killed since the start of "the ceasefire".

The propaganda machine is targeting those who are too busy working to death to feed their families. Not sure what else we can do to break the cycle but I hope that everyone is talking to people (new and known to them) and waking them up, even if just with a small bit of info. Keep going y'all.

The propaganda machine is targeting ANYONE and EVERYONE - this is what Empire propaganda machines do. This is the purpose of the 'propaganda machinery' of empires - to control the narrative.

It doesn't matter if you're rich, poor, liberal, conservative, left, right, old, young, male or female or another gender, live in the West or global South, what ideologies you believe in, whatever... EVERYONE is a target of 'the propaganda of Empire'.

One can't help but accept the fact that this move has been on the drawing boards for some time. Israel waiting on some form of major crime such as Bondi and then to feel justified in using the arrogance of a Netanyahu to criticise a PM as he has dome in an endeavour to score further points. Of course, such actions and effort by the genocidist brigade arranged so that it is not taking him away from his main task of killing in Gaza.

Seeing all the politicians, one after the other, wearing their little borrowed kippahs, as they try to emulate the decent demonstrations of Palestinian supporters and their colourful keffiyehs.

It was a staged event by any measure.

Every night since then we have seen half the news devoted to this matter and almost the whole of last Sunday, Every burial, hospital exit, Rabbis by the score and on, TV, radio, all well orchestrated by a weak STATE government and thousands of bearded volunteers to liven things up, to provoke, to stir up controversy.

Right into the hands of the Zionist brigade actively working overtime to force weak-minded politicians to pass legislation cancelling any form of anti-Israel free speech, , where the mention of Palestine is a crime, the wearing a keffiyeh justifying a six month sentence and the use of the word Jew, genocide, murder, rape, snipers, Israel, Netanyahu or his murdering cronies ends up as a sentence in the Premier's Correctional Facility for 6 months, forcing the culprit to sit through the replay of Bondi beach every year instead of celebrating Christmas.

Don't laugh. Just wait and see. Remember The Holocaust, 80 years and still on the go. Wearing thin though in 2025 now that they have "antisemitism".

If Australian politicians spent less time watching cricket and more time studying the history of the Zionist history of graft and political corruption we would be much better informed( reducing the possible end result of ending up with someone like a TRUMP in the USA or a political opportunist like MINNS in Australia always with the possibility of a Miriam Adelson type (more "Israeli than American"....her words)) buying our next Prime Minister (as she did with TRUMP in the USA).

Hi C33, how are you doing? Haven't seen you for a long time. Hope you're doing fine (health wise).

Yes, "this move has been on the drawing boards for some time", and it's not the last time we'll see this either. More attacks are going to happen, and Netanyahu will use the same 'playbook' over and over again for all such future attacks (where ever they occur).

Well, Chang. I have been there under another name following a mistake by the organisers.

The Bondi action has made me feel so miserable, seeing how the event, as sad as it was, has been turned into yet another Israeli propaganda circus, to be repeated ad nauseam, even in lieu of Christmas 2026. Wait and see.

But they are, after all, God's chosen people.

But happy to be back as C33 and enjoying all the writings from a group who I feel I have become very close to, as no doubt, so have you.

Keep up the good work, one and all, and a special thanks to that wonderful

pair in Melbourne. The respect of I have for them is beyond measure.

Cheers all.

Yes and people who don't have time to read anything but headlines, if that, are more easily targeted.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

There is a larger problem here. Even if most people 'had the time' to read the full article, etc. it would make little difference, for 2 reasons ->

(1) If people are getting their information/sources from MSM or social media rather than INDEPENDENT journalists/reporters, it wouldn't matter whether they read the headline or injest all the news.

(2) Most people haven't developed 'media literacy skills' and 'critical thinking skills' at an adequate level to separate FACT from FICTION. Even in the comments section of this substack, you can see the effects of this (eg. comments here by DawnieR and gypsy33). Such people are easily manipulated and mislead by narratives, conspiracy theories, misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda.

This is one reason why Empire finds it so easy to manipulate/propagandize people - because they have been indoctrinated by 'false narratives' for too long and lack the skills for rational/logical/critical thought (IMHO).

That's not necessarily true. There are people who are financially literature and there are those who are not.

They are few, we are many. It is on us. If bread and circuses work it is on you. If you don't heed histories warnings, it is on you. The way out is to adultify and stop being children in the state of arrested development they need you in to win. I have spoken to people in the poorer countries, with no education, who know exactly what is going on. What prevents us? Comfortable in the heart of the Empire.

Once we take responsibility, we win.

CJ>>"The dumbest thing we are being asked to believe today is that pro-Palestinian protests caused the Bondi shooting."

Very true! This attack was NOT because of any protests, not because of 'globalize the intifada', NOT because of ANY pro-palestine activity, and NOT because of any 'epidemic' of antisemitism.

This is WHAT HAPPENS when you genocide a population for 2 years non-stop in the most ghoulish of ways that is live-streamed throughout the world. Isreal is the MOST HATED country in the world (with good reason). Zionists have ON PURPOSE conflated Jews with Israel so that whenever Israel is at fault they can conveniently use the BULLSHIT 'anti-semitism' excuse.

These sorts of events will CONTINUE to happen in the forseeable future. Israel will use any/all such events to further propagate FALSE 'anti-semitism' narratives and clamp down on opposition to Israel and Zionism. They don't even need to take the effort of performing false flags (or the like), as it is pretty much guaranteed that such events will happen due to the hatred, anger, and more that Israel has caused people globally to feel. This is called BLOWBACK - and it WILL get back to Israel (and the U.S. Empire) sooner or later.

The fact that satanyahu had his response ready to once again vilify our PM as weak, which a lot of us believe is true, but is not the genocidal maniac's place to say so on a public platform, just like he mouthed off before by reading out his letter, which most leaders would not reveal to the public - but his big fat ego is going to be his undoing because if that's what he is saying publicly, what is the bully saying in private?

Definitely the end if them, if he dares another attack on Iran because Iran will not have been sitting quietly doing nothing to build up their own defenses and their attack abilities - they are well aware of the probability of an overly confident israel that expects the US to jump in. If that happens there are two others that would probably come in as well, but on the side if Iran.

Thanks, I just sent this to a young woman I know who shocked me to the core by coming out blaming Palestinians and 'intifada' means hatred (when it means shaking up, shaking down, at most resistance and rebellion against domination and oppression). Once again Israel is going full bore with the propaganda and this massacre has suited it to the core. My ancestors were Jews and I call them in standing for the right of Palestinians to resist oppression and to not be scapegoated for every other massacre. One thing we know for sure is that fifty one people in my city were murdered by a white Australian who used his nice little inheritance to travel and mow down people in prayer, people including children. Another thing we know is that some of those who lost family members on that day have lost others in the genocide, and still I don't hear from them the rabid racist hatred I hear from some Australians and New Zealanders.

Caitlin, I am with you all the way. I would have mourned the dead at Bondi Beach - as you would have - if 'they' didn't make it impossible. By making it political, and weaponising it, they made it look like being contrived.

Their demands for extreme measures to shut down dissent and free speech and assembly went beyond reason. Their antipathy and hostility towards a Prime Minister who was bending over backwards to go along even with a genocide showed how Jewish lobbies have become powerful and can dictate terms.

In doing so they stole the dignity for the dead.

Davina's avatar

Absolutely spot on. I was thinking much the same, as in Most people say Satanyahu is working hard for Jews, but nobody believes that - they know what he's doing is to keep himself out of prison. He has even gone so far as to threaten the president that, unless he gets a pardon he will burn the country - that is how much he loves the israeli jews, and it's nowhere near as much as he loves himself.

I've been trying to comprehend the UK and US incredibly aggressive protection of Israel, despite the overwhelming evidence of genocide.

I asked Chatgpt.

There is nothing I didn't know, but the reply does pull everything together in a coherent way.

Israel is manipulating the "red line" ally status to the absolute limit. With the two most violent imperialists the world has known, tightly entwined over keeping the Zionist project going "whatever it takes", they are willing to do anything.

The world is looking on as the western bastion of morals collapses into ruins of war crimes, criminalization of free speech, piracy and hypocrisy.

Where's the mess heading?

Here's Chatgpt.

......

This is a big question, and the answer isn’t one single reason. Israel’s strong protection by the US, UK and other “Anglo” powers comes from a stack of strategic, historical, political, and cultural factors that reinforce each other.

I’ll lay them out clearly, without assuming they’re good or bad — just why they exist.

1. Cold War & post-Cold War strategic value

After Israel’s creation (1948), it became:

A reliable, pro-Western military power in a region that was unstable and often hostile to Western interests

A counterweight to Soviet-aligned Arab states during the Cold War

Later, a forward partner in US Middle East strategy (intelligence, technology, counter-terrorism)

Israel proved:

Militarily effective

Politically stable compared to neighbors

Willing to align closely with Washington and London

That made it unusually valuable.

2. Military & intelligence integration

Israel isn’t just “supported” — it’s deeply integrated with Anglo security systems:

Joint weapons development (missile defense, drones, cyber)

Intelligence sharing (especially signals intelligence and counter-terrorism)

Testing and refinement of Western weapons and doctrines in real combat conditions

From an Anglo-strategic view, Israel functions like an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East.

3. Domestic politics in the US & UK

Protection isn’t only foreign policy — it’s internal politics:

United States

Strong, organized pro-Israel lobbying (e.g. AIPAC)

Evangelical Christian support (theological and political)

A bipartisan consensus dating back decades

Fear among politicians of being labelled “anti-Israel” (or worse) in elections

United Kingdom

Historical responsibility from the Mandate period

Close alignment with US policy

Political caution due to Holocaust history and antisemitism sensitivities

4. Holocaust legacy & moral framing

Western governments see Israel as:

A guarantee against another genocide

A moral obligation after Europe’s role in Jewish persecution

This produces:

Extra political sensitivity

Reluctance to apply pressure publicly

A tendency to frame Israel as uniquely deserving of protection

This doesn’t mean all actions are approved — but it raises the threshold for criticism.

5. Cultural & civilizational affinity

Anglo elites often see Israel as:

“Like us” — democratic, Western-educated, English-speaking

Part of the Western political and legal tradition

This creates unconscious bias:

Israeli security narratives are more readily believed

Palestinian or Arab narratives face greater skepticism

6. Arms industry & technology benefits

Israel is:

A major weapons developer and exporter

A partner in cyber, surveillance, AI, and defense tech

Supporting Israel:

Feeds Western defense industries

Keeps Israel dependent on Western systems (not Russian or Chinese)

7. Fear of precedent & alliance credibility

If the US or UK:

Sanctioned Israel

Cut military support

Allowed Israel to be diplomatically isolated

It would:

Signal that even top allies aren’t protected

Undermine deterrence and alliance credibility globally

So Israel becomes a red line ally.

8. Why the protection looks “aggressive”

Because protection includes:

Vetoes at the UN

Rapid military resupply

Diplomatic shielding even during high civilian casualties

Public framing that emphasizes Israeli security over proportionality

This makes the support look exceptional compared to other states — because it is.

9. What this doesn’t mean

It does not mean:

Anglo powers secretly control Israel (often Israel defies them)

Support is cost-free (it damages Western legitimacy globally)

Public opinion fully supports this stance (it increasingly doesn’t)

In fact, there’s a growing gap between governments and public opinion in many Western countries.

10. Bottom line

Israel is aggressively protected because it is seen as:

Strategically indispensable

Militarily useful

Domestically untouchable politically

Morally sensitive historically

Culturally aligned

When those factors combine, you get extraordinary protection, even when actions would draw sanctions or isolation if done by almost any other country.

We'll see how it goes. Bibi made a big calculated risk alienating the American left when Obama was president, and now it seems a plurality of right wing American voters hate Israel as well. Hopefully, within 10-20 years American support will disappear, and the Jew/Nazi state will have to deal with real consequences for it's psychopathic behavior.
