Anyone who truly and sincerely opposes this unfolding tragedy, and who fears the devastation it will bring upon both the Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Arab peoples, must recognize this: the only way to avert disaster is through the complete and unconditional end of the occupation."

The massacre at Bondi Beach cannot cover all the massacres in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians can only watch with tearful eyes from their collapsing tents that do not protect their occupants from the whipping winds, as the world is shocked by Bondi, and forgets them at alarming haste.

There were two murderers at Bondi Beach. In Gaza, an entire country and army are behind the massacres. At least 36 people, 18 of them children, died in May's strike on a school in Beit Hanoun. There were many other massacres like that one, including during the "cease-fire" in which hundreds of […]

An imaginary same fate of an Australian rabbi and an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip is used as a weapon against Israel's bitter critics: Look at us, how pitiful we are, the whole world is against us and slaughtering us.

Above all is the cloud of the double standard: The massacre of 15 people […]

Even the usual blaming of Iran encountered a regrettable factual difficulty: ISIS and Iran are enemies. What a shame the terrorists weren't Palestinians. That would facilitate the propaganda and increase the profit line.

"How come the Australian government didn't […]

Israel never misses an opportunity to generate political and propaganda capital from every terrorist attack. Hints about Mossad warnings that Australia allegedly ignored were also immediately circulated. The Australians do not know how and do not want to fight terrorism. Just look at us; there […]

Netanyahu knows a thing or two about taking personal responsibility, which is why he rushed to accuse his peer of daring to recognize a Palestinian state; ostensibly, there is a link between the empty recognition of an imaginary state and the massacre.

In the days that followed, the world expressed shock at the heinous crime of murdering 15 Jews. Everyone was horrified by what had happened. The Bondi massacre deserved this global shock.

But the shock was accompanied by hypocrisy, cynical use and double standards. First and foremost was, of […]

When the two murderers stood at Bondi Beach, massacring the innocents, a woman stood at the Khan Yunis beach trying to push out water that had flooded the tent she calls home with a broom. She stood and shouted, showing her shivering children their worn-out, ragged and water-soaked clothes, but […]
