It’s official: Nowhere is safe from the scourge of Jew hatred.

Not even Bondi Beach.

On Sunday, that gorgeous stretch of sand and sea in Sydney, Australia, was visited by the great evil of antisemitism.

World-famous as a sunny, chilled-out space for surfers, sunbathers and young lovers, it became a slaughter zone.

Its golden sand was stained red with the blood of men, women and children who were slain for one reason and one reason only — they were Jews.

Two gunmen opened fire at a gathering of Jewish Australians who were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah.

Their murderous spree lasted for 10 horrifying minutes, killing 15 spectators, including a rabbi, a Holocaust survivor and a child.

It feels chilling that even Bondi, one of the most visited tourist sites in Oz, has fallen victim to the derangement of Jewphobia.

I have visited Bondi many times and have met friends there, including Jewish friends.

We usually break the beach rules by sipping beers on the warm, glowing sand.

The thought of that beach being overrun by a modern-day pogrom, by armed haters of humanity hell-bent on killing Jews — it’s too much to take.

Australia will never be the same.

That even this beach can be invaded by Jew-haters should be a wake-up call for the entire West.

For it confirms that the “intifada” has well and truly been “globalized.”

For more than two years, the appalling death cry “Globalize the intifada!” has rung out across the West, ever since Hamas’ Oct. 7 pogrom.

Now we can see its lethal impact: a growing loathing for Jews not only in the US, the UK and Europe, but even on a hippyish beach Down Under.

If you demanded we “Globalize the intifada” — if you damned Zionists as an evil people — if you spent the past two years frothing at the mouth over the “demonic” Jewish state, then we don’t want to hear a word from you about the atrocity at Bondi.

Because this is on you. Blood from the Bondi innocents is on your hands.

The scenes from Sydney are atrocious. Grim video clips show the dead, the injured, the traumatized.

We’ve seen selfies of people drenched in their own blood, and photos of Jews hiding behind a lifeguard’s buggy.

It was as if the barbarism of 1930s Europe had been transposed onto 21st-century Australia.

The dead include Eli Schlanger, a British-born rabbi and father of five.

And a 12-year-old girl.

And Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman, who died while protecting his wife.

He survived the Nazi terror of 20th-century Europe, but not the antisemitic tyranny that befell Bondi on a sunny day in 2025.

But here’s the thing: This act of savagery is shocking but not surprising.

I was honored to give talks about antisemitism at synagogues in Sydney and Melbourne last year.

Everyone I spoke to said the same thing: “Something bad is coming.”

Antisemitism is getting worse, they said, and no one is listening to us.

Australia, like the rest of the West, has been gripped by the mind fever of Israelophobia these past two years.

Synagogues have been set on fire. Jewish schools have been daubed with graffiti.

A mob gathered at the Sydney Opera House the day after the Oct. 7 attacks and chanted, “F–k the Jews.”

The hard truth is that the barbarism in Bondi has been a long time coming.

The Israel-haters always try to wash their hands of racist atrocities like the one at Bondi.

“We only hate Zionists, not Jews,” they say.

Is anyone still buying this? I’m not.

Let us speak plainly. The fashionable and feverish hatred of the Jewish state has endangered the Jewish people.

If you damn the Jewish nation as uniquely wicked, as a bloodthirsty entity, as a blight on humankind, then you have no right to be surprised when Jews get it in the neck.

If you say “Globalize the intifada” — knowing full well that “intifada” means Hamas-style violence against Jews — then you must accept your share of responsibility for the return of Jew hatred.

And if, like Zohran Mamdani, you fail to condemn that hateful wail, then please keep your opinions about Bondi to yourself.

Your displays of sorrow are utterly worthless.

If you gave a damn about Jews, you would have listened to them when they said the Israelophobic mania was making their lives harder and harder.

The Bondi pogrom confirms that not one inch of the Western world is safe from the Islamist threat and the crisis of civilization.

If this horror doesn’t open our eyes, nothing will.
