The Royal Commission's terms of reference wrongly prejudge the Bondi attack as antisemitic before investigating the shooters' actual motives. Israel's live-streamed genocide has fueled any recent surge in antisemitism, and the government's inquiry deflects from unprecedented barbarities against Palestinians while ignoring that hundreds of young Australians traveled to assist Israeli forces in killing families.
Government inaction allowed antisemitism to fester for two years after warnings from the Jewish community, creating fertile ground for the Bondi massacre. Authorities permitted incendiary pro-Hamas slogans at weekly demonstrations to go unchecked. The Royal Commission must expose how radical left elements within Labor and trade unions helped normalize hatred that led to this tragedy.
There is a 50% chance that the total number of fatalities from terrorism in the world in 2031 will be around 21,100, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
