Global Threats and Local Complacency Collide

Australian government is in possession of Bondi terrorist video manifesto where Sajid and Naveed Akram explictly label Gaza as their motivation for slaughtering random Australian Jewish civilians This video manifesto will obviously never be released because ”Le Social Cohesion,” can’t let the public know how jihadists actually think
A Tale of Two Sydney Headlines
Let me show you two headlines from today’s newspapers that, when placed side by side, read less like journalism and more like a civilisation arguing with itself while the smoke alarm is going off.
Here’s the first one, from yesterday’s Australian newspaper.
Islamic State Urges Followers to Copy Bondi Shooters in New Propaganda
The terror group’s latest newsletter – produced in Afghanistan, because if you’re going to publish instructions for global murder, you may as well do it from a jurisdiction with limited interest in your editorial standards – carries an article with the cheerful little headline:
“The Sydney Attack – Revenge of the Oppressed Ummah”
It goes on to describe the two men who allegedly committed the Bondi terror attack as “brave lions”.
And it says the Bondi shooting – in which 15 Australians were shot dead for being Jewish – was not a sin, but a template. A handy “how-to guide” for Muslims who are serious about the intifada.
ISIS Turns Bondi Into a Blueprint
The ISIS newsletter said that the Bondi attack demonstrated to Muslims across the globe,
“… that the path to salvation and the honour of Islam lies precisely in the way adopted by the attackers”.
As for any Muslims who might feel unease at the concept of civilians being shot in the street, ISIS has a classification for them, too. They are, apparently, “shameful”.
And just in case anyone thought there might be moral ambiguity in the system, the article helpfully clarifies,
“there is no such thing as a non-combatant Kafir” (non-believer).
Good to know.
The ISIS article goes on like this for seven pages. It says:
“The Sydney attack was only a pebble from a mountain; we will continue to kill, by the permission of Allah, until you grow weary of burying the dead.”
If I didn’t know better, I’d say this stuff was written by people who’d consumed too many energy drinks and not nearly enough civilisation.
But, as we very well know, these Islamic extremists are deadly serious.
They go on to say,
“For the liberation of (Jerusalem) begin with the Kafir and apostates closest to you, for they are the ones who prevent you from killing the Jews and liberating Jerusalem. Support the Islamic State in this great jihad cause.”
The Slogan That Says It All
Now, if you were tasked with compressing all of that into a modern slogan – something punchy, shareable, suitable for signage or chanting at a march – you’d struggle to beat:
“Globalise the Intifada.”
I mean, that’s what ISIS is calling for.
If you want to liberate Jerusalem, which is a polite way of saying kill all the Jews, you’ve got to begin where you are.
This has always been Islamic State’s call.
Australian terror experts have said they believe the men who allegedly committed the Bondi terror attack were inspired by a 2024 ISIS speech titled, “And Kill Them Wherever You Find Them”.
Which does sound like a globalised uprising. Does it not?
Now hold that thought.
Because while Islamic State is urging Muslims to repeat the Sydney massacre, here in Sydney, we’re debating whether using public buildings to chant “globalise the intifada” is… maybe a little unwise?
A Council Hall for the Cause
Which brings us to the second headline, from yesterday’s Daily Telegraph:
Politicians refuse to intervene to stop ‘globalise the intifada’ forum at City of Sydney venue
The City of Sydney is making available a council-owned building so that Pro-Palestine supporters can gather to demand the right to chant “globalise the intifada”.
In fact, the event is called “Why it’s Right to Say Globalise the Intifada”
Now, Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore is a lot brighter than me. But just go with me for a moment here.
Does it not occur to Clover Moore that when Islamic State is openly calling for Muslims to kill Jews and their supporters “wherever you are”…
And when we already have an example of two Muslims allegedly responding to that call right here in Sydney just a few months ago…
Is it not the height of stupidity to encourage an already Muslim community and their supporters to chant for more globalised uprising against Jews?
Now I understand that 99.999999 percent of people chanting globalise the intifada would NEVER commit a terrorist act.
But as those who lost mothers and fathers and children and partners at Bondi will testify through tears… it only takes one, or two.
Governed by Press Release
Maybe Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig could step in here. Surely local government buildings should not be used for events like this.
Well, a spokesperson for the Local Government Minister said it was all a matter for the City of Sydney, which begs the question:
What’s the point of a local government minister if he has nothing to say about local government platforming messages that could be interpreted by some to sound, you know, a little bit ISIS-ee.
The Premier, Chris Minns, when invited to lean across the void and gently suggest restraint, declined with refreshing honesty.
He told The Daily Telegraph,
“I’m not gonna do that, because the chances of her listening to me are zero.”
What about the PM? Does he not sense the danger?
A spokesman for Anthony Albanese told The Telegraph,
“The government has made our position clear on this by passing the toughest ever hate crime laws”.
Which, translated, means: we have legislated extensively and hope the problem resolves itself through paperwork.
So we are left, as ever, with a familiar arrangement:
One part of the world producing explicit calls for violence, another part debating whether the words describing those calls might be offensive, and a third part assuring us everything is under control because a press release exists somewhere in a filing cabinet.
And somewhere between those three layers sits you and me… sleeping with one eye open and wondering how the hell our country became so incredibly stupid.
COMMENTARY
Introduction: The Smoke Alarm Is Going Off
The author of this piece captures a moment of profound cognitive dissonance. On one hand, ISIS is openly calling for the murder of Jews and their supporters, using the Bondi massacre as a template for global jihad. On the other hand, in the same city where that massacre occurred, politicians are facilitating events where the slogan “globalise the intifada” is chanted and celebrated.
It is as if the smoke alarm is blaring, and we are debating whether the smoke is offensive rather than whether we should evacuate.
The Bondi Massacre: A Template for Terror
The author reminds us of the horrific details. Fifteen Australians were shot dead for being Jewish. ISIS has now declared these murderers “brave lions” and their attack a “how-to guide” for Muslims serious about intifada.
This is not rhetoric. This is explicit instruction. ISIS is saying: kill Jews wherever you find them. Kill their supporters. There are no non-combatant unbelievers. The path to salvation lies through murder.
This is not open to interpretation. It is a clear call to violence.
“Globalise the Intifada”: What Does It Mean?
The phrase “intifada” means “shaking off” in Arabic. It refers to the Palestinian uprisings against Israel. But in its modern usage, particularly among extremists, it has become a call to violent revolt.
When people chant “globalise the intifada,” they are not calling for peaceful protest. They are calling for the export of violent uprisings to every corner of the world. They are calling for the murder of Jews and their supporters wherever they may be found.
This is not a political slogan. It is a death threat.
The Council Hall and the Politicians
The City of Sydney is making a council-owned building available for an event called “Why it’s Right to Say Globalise the Intifada.” This is not a private gathering in a park. This is a government-funded venue being used to platform a slogan that ISIS itself uses to incite murder.
Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig says it is a matter for the City of Sydney. Premier Chris Minns says he won’t intervene because Lord Mayor Clover Moore wouldn’t listen anyway. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s spokesman points to new hate crime laws as if legislation alone can solve the problem.
The author’s frustration is palpable. What is the point of government if it cannot stop the platforming of messages that incite violence? What is the point of elected officials who refuse to act? What is the point of laws that do not prevent harm?
The Real Human Cost
The author makes a crucial point: 99.999999 percent of people chanting “globalise the intifada” will never commit a terrorist act. But it only takes one. Or two.
The Bondi massacre happened. Fifteen people are dead. Their families are grieving. And now, in the same city, politicians are facilitating events that celebrate the slogan of those who inspired the murderers.
This is not about free speech. Free speech has limits when it incites violence. This is about moral cowardice. It is about leaders who are more afraid of being called “Islamophobic” than they are of another massacre.
The Stupidity of Complacency
The author’s conclusion is harsh but not unfair: “sleeping with one eye open and wondering how the hell our country became so incredibly stupid.”
This is not a question about intelligence. It is a question about will. We know the threat. We have seen the evidence. We have the laws. What we lack is the courage to act.
The Role of Christians
For Christians, this is not a political question. It is a moral one. We are called to protect the vulnerable. We are called to stand with the persecuted. We are called to speak truth to power.
The Jewish community in Australia is under threat. Fifteen of their members were murdered in a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS. And now, in the same city, the slogan of their enemies is being celebrated in a government-owned building.
This is not acceptable. We must speak out. We must demand that our leaders act. We must stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters.
The Limits of Legislation
The Prime Minister’s spokesman pointed to new hate crime laws as if they were the solution. But laws are only as good as their enforcement. And enforcement is only as good as the will to enforce.
We have laws against incitement to violence. But those laws are not being applied to the organisers of this event. Why? Because they are chanting about “intifada” rather than explicitly saying “kill the Jews.”
But everyone knows what “intifada” means in this context. Everyone knows that ISIS uses the same language. Pretending otherwise is willful ignorance.
The Call to Action
The author does not offer a solution, but the implication is clear: something must change. Voters must demand better. Leaders must be held accountable. The media must stop normalising extremism.
And Christians must be part of that change. We must pray for our leaders. We must vote for those who will protect the vulnerable. We must speak out when our governments enable hate.
