Days before the Bondi Beach massacre

Bondi Junction,New South Wales

Written just days before the Bondi Beach massacre happened and not submitted anywhere.

I am at Wolper Jewish Hospital in Sydney’s east for hydrotherapy. Both its staff and patients come from multiethnic backgrounds.

But now, security guards in flak jackets are patrolling. They carry heavy revolvers. A war zone? Not really, just caused by one far away.

Our prime minister has often moaned: “There is no place for antisemitism in Australia”.

His loyal deputies, Tony B. and Penny W. bemoaned his plight and by their actions ensured that there now will be a place for antisemitism here. Ending multiculturalism.

Now about that face on that $100 banknote, so familiar!

This person was [amongst much more], the first president of the Zionist Federation of Australia. Will realising this, lead to cancellation of these banknotes ?

Or do the anti-Zionists withdraw and donate all of theirs to rebuild Gaza?

Remember there were Jews on the first fleet who contributed then as they still do now.
