An obscene number of people were shot down in cold blood celebrating a Jewish holiday on the iconic and wonderful Bondi Beach, murdered most likely, by religious fanatics, possibly by people who came, or whose parents came, to this country and imported a toxic, deadly, and poisonous ideology.
Nobody thought to stop them entering this country. Nobody thought to question their fitness to be new Australian citizens.
We have seen this story play out in Europe, in Britain, and in the United States.
Many people now have blood on their hands.
I include among them, in my opinion, the Foreign Minister of Australia, Penny Wong, for repeatedly inflaming anti-Israel sentiments on the national and international stage and giving comfort to the Pro-Palestinian cause; the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, for his absolute craven cowardice and constant pandering to the Islamic community and refusal to implement the antisemitism measures that have repeatedly been demanded; the immigration minister Tony Burke for flooding this country with people from communities around the world, including Gaza, where Jew hatred flows through their veins.
I also include among those who have blood on their hands every single person who has participated in a pro-Palestinian march, every university campus, every politician who marched over the Sydney Harbor Bridge in lockstep with Islamist fanatics, every single media commentator who has echoed some kind of sympathy for the Islamist, Pro-Palestinian cause; every anti-Semite who has muttered under their breath obscenities about 'the Jews'.
You all disgust me. You all brought this on despite all the warnings we repeatedly gave you for the last two years. You have destroyed this nation.
Australia must now have a serious conversation about deporting Islamist lunatics and must immediately tighten our immigration policies to ensure that this can never happen again.
Australia died tonight. Can it ever be the same again?
