Surfers ride the waves with the sun setting on the horizon. Families enjoy the beautiful weather of the southern summer and children run on the sand. Holding hands, couples walk along the promenade, passing designer cafes and restaurants … overflow This is what an ordinary Sunday looks like at the coquette’s house Bondi Beach, one of the symbols of Sydney next to its spectacular concrete shell Opera House and its steel bridge over its majestic bay.
As one of the most beautiful and lively places in this elegant city, more than a thousand Jews chose Bondi Beach on Sunday to celebrate Hanukkah with their families, which commemorates the right to profess their religion. An open-air public event that would have been impossible to achieve in other Western countries, including Spain, due to the increasing harassment of Jews.
But in Australia, one of the safest countries in the world, no one imagined that two Muslims, father and son, would choose this joyful place to commit the biggest massacre the country has seen in three decades. Like the electronic music festival Nova during the savage terrorist attack Hamas October 7, 2023 against Israelthere is no greater contrast between the song of life that some represent and the sinister culture of death defended by jihadists.
What is inconceivable, for trusting and somewhat naive Australians, is that the massacre was committed by a father who emigrated to this country in search of a better future and by his son, born there. Something like this could happen in USA either Europebut not in Australia. All this despite the alarms that have been ringing for years, particularly since the start of the war in Loopdue to frequent episodes of anti-Semitism.
Despite these warnings, the Australian government preferred to look the other way, until it found itself faced with this tragedy. Beyond security flaws, the main thing now is to know when and how Sajid Akram and his son Naveed, already martyrs of radical Islam. We already know why: playing on Bondi Beach on D-Day of jihadism in Australia.
