Tying Australia's recognition of Palestine. to the horrific killing of 15 Jews on Bondi Beach on the first day of the festival of lights, Hanukkah, Zionist fascist Bibi Netenyahu, among other high-ranking Israeli, lectured Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese, on the rise of antisemitism in his country. Albanese wasn't going to have it. He pushed back strongly, the more especially since a Syrian muslim wrested a high-power rifle from one of the killers, thereby saving other lives, before he himself was wounded by the other killer who was quickly subdued. But the self-righteous Likud government pushed further on the same key on BBC. As the Israel mouthpiece droned on and on lecturing the listening audience about accurate reporting, BBC cut him off by reminding this Israeli hectoring voice that Israel had no voice to lecture the world on antisemitism, the more especially since Israel refused, yes refused, to allow journalists to report from Gaza, as IDF killed 70.000 Gazan children, men, women innocent from the 2023 Hamas attack. And in Galuth [diaspora], on an Irish TV chat show, the British actress Miriam Marygolyse who lost family in the Holocaust, criticized as racist Israel's treatment of Palestinians, many of whom are its citizens. Netenyahu & co. have a giant mote in their pompous eye

Did you see how many amputees resulted from the Bondi Beach attack??

That’s right - none.

Gaza = 6,000.

I am subscribed and watching from Australia because our government is now locked into a union via AUKUS with a rogue fascist state with no regard for international law as well as the UK’s (and Australia’s) pro-genocide support of Israel. Zeteo’s independent progressive analysis of geopolitics is vital at times like this.

The Chabad putting on the event is far right. Makes you wonder.

388 mass shootings this year, 2025, in the USA. No where else. No other country has those stats.

Heather Cox Richardson made the point that America has always been a very multicultural society and this argument that we’re trying to be white or mostly white again is actually would be a new thing. She noted the first people to come from Europe and step on the Americas one was Catholic and one was Muslim And we have had slaves from Africa here from the very beginning. We have always been the melting pot and multicultural, and this idea of an all white America would actually be something new and abnormal for America

Why is everything called 'antisemitic' when Arabic, too, is a semitic language..? And therefor 'antisemitic' means 'anti everybody in the region'!

Israelis are the reason Anti-Zionism morphs into Antisemitism.

This attack seems like a typical false flag by Israel. Notice how the media has not once mentioned that the beach also hosts the Bondi Beach Christmas Markets every weekend? That this beach is one of the biggest attractions in Sydney? That the beach was packed with typical people just going there because it’s Bondi Beach? A small area was having the Hanukkah celebration. The rabbi of the Chabad, Schlesinger was a very high profile Zionist who was also conducting a fundraiser for the IDF and the illegal settlements in the West Bank. Israel right away took this event as a way to push “antisemitism” rhetoric. But I guess everyone forgets that he threatened Australia for recognizing Palestine and saying that they should have their own state. The media has played right into the zioslob hasbara spreading handbook.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your dad, Mr. Hasan. He raised a fine boy.

dementia can cause disinhibition of emotions. Trump drives the hate in this country and the subsequent violence. His dementia makes it much worse.

Australian government has done little to hold Australian citizens involved in the genocide in Gaza to account. They are allowed to travel back and forth to Israel freely, encouraging the illegal settling of the West Bank and drumming up support and funds for the IDF… etc etc.

Has this made the Jewish community vulnerable to attack, for example in Bondi with Jewish people celebrating alongside Schlesinger?

When I think of Muslims I think of a very generous, hospitable, gentle people--these are the true Muslims that I know and respect. Groups like ISIS are like the US white Christian Nationalists and the Israeli political group that include Netanyahu and his genocidal team--political movements who don't serve their scriptures, but make their scriptures serve them. They are all the same--political movements who want to cloak themselves in their particular religious garb to act like they are champions of their spirituality while they murder the innocent and cause unimaginable suffering. Thank you Zeteo, you are the only journalistic source of information that actually cover the new of the day that I wonder about. I've given up on all the main US news networks. They never cover things that I'm interested in like you do. Thanks for your efforts. May Zeteo continue to grow!

It is Netanyahu and his genocidal team who is making lives for Jews worse in the world by his murderous genocidal actions against the Palestinians. What you do to others, you do to yourself.

IDF live in Australia and the Chabad running the Bondi event fundraise for them. Not to mention that the rabbi can be seen in videos supporting them in the illegal West Bank settlements.

With trump and Republicans every accusation is a confession. What he said about Reiner is true of himself.

More murders by knife on the first night of Hanukkah, this time in Hollywood: director Rob Reiner and wife Michelle. Reiner son of comedian Carl Reiner, also a power house in Democratic politics, strongly liberal in ideas and causes [Roe v. Wade, marriage equality, LGBTA+ rights, among others.]. Recently, he directed, after 20 years later, 'Spinal Tap II'. His filmography is long with hit after hit. Many may remember him as 'meathead' Archie Bunker's son-in-law, in Norman Lear's 'All in the Family'. Yet he excelled as director and producer behind the camera. Who can forget 'Harry Meets Sally' or 'Wolf of Wall Street' or 'First Wives Club'? Will the Reiner Murders go unsolved like that of Sal Mineo's? Don't be surprised in time to come in one 'avatar' the Reiner murders on Netflix. A final wrinkle to this tragedy is the despicable comment of the low-life Trump that the Reiners died of 'DTD' [Degenerative Trump Disease].

Their son is in custody for their murder. Stop making everything about a religion ffs.

They let him go after 72 hours in detention, 'the person of interest' in the Brown shooting, a 24 year-old man from Minnesota, identified by his uneasy gait, caught on CCTV, and forever marked by the utter chatter by authorities, 'experts' and the chattering classes. The game is again now afoot. The shooter has had the leisure to cover his tracks. FBI chief Kash Patel, a harder time to nab him.

Our country needs to address the fundamental problems with fundamental solutions. Not bandaid solutions
