I am not sure if a royal commission is needed to know what is already known .
This massacre in Bondi did not come out of nowhere.
It grew inside a moral climate that was tolerated — and at times nurtured — by institutions that chose silence, qualification, or deflection over clarity.
What we’re seeing now is not sudden. It’s the delayed consequence of a permission structure built through selective outrage and the habit of excusing hostility as “critique.”
Anti-Zionism and antisemitism are neither identical nor unrelated. They overlap and bleed into one another. Telling Jews that what they are experiencing “isn’t really about them” may feel principled, but for most Jews it is about them .
The use of fringe Jewish voices as moral cover only deepens the harm.
When antisemitic incidents occur, condemnation is often preceded by qualification.
When Jews express fear, their motives are interrogated.
When violence follows, it’s sometimes explained as an “understandable reaction” to events elsewhere — turning Australian Jews into proxies for a foreign conflict.
Violence is a choice. Hatred is learned. Both are enabled long before a line is crossed.
To those in government:
When does political tolerance of hate and antisemitism cross the line into endorsement?
Was it October 8, outside the Sydney Opera House?
Was it the march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, attended by senior public figures such as the -#sydney Lord Mayor @clover Moore , while chants glorified intifada and called for death to the Israel Defense Forces?
Was it when Anthony Albanese framed these events as understandable expressions of concern for Gaza?
Was it when Penny Wong did not visit the massacre site when going to Israel and Gaza - effectively not acknowledge this tragedy ?
Was it when Tony Burke brought in the iSIS brides and 3000 Palestinians who were brought up with an indoctrination of hate against Israel and Jews?
Or was it the ongoing decision to allow weekly marches where hate was repeatedly excused as political speech?
At what point does tolerance cease to be democratic restraint — and become a failure of leadership?

Jewish people are not called the “canaries in the mine” for nothing. The images of Islamist leaders and terrorist group flags that we saw at the march should remind everyone that the enemies of Jews are also the enemies of women, queer and many other marginalised people.
