White supremacists with Australian flags. What really went down at Bondi
A peaceful pro-Palestine protest at Bondi Beach on the weekend was disrupted by white supremacists draped in Australian and Israeli flags. Event organiser Judith Treanor checks the racism and the false narratives.
On the warmest Sydney day since autumn, a peaceful, family-oriented gathering at Bondi Beach – initiated by Jews Against the Occupation ’48 – was met with racist, intimidating abuse from a baying mob of Zionists waving Israeli flags and their apparent allies: white Supremacists draped in Australian flags.
Before I go on, let me remind you: I am Jewish. What I saw on Sunday shook me to my core.
Counter-protestors fly in from MelbourneWe travelled to the event in small groups for our safety. Pause on that for a moment: Sydneysiders attending a peaceful family event were in fear for their safety. Haven’t we been told ad infinitum that Zionist Jews have been fearful for 23 months?
On arrival, my heart sank. Hundreds had answered the Zionists’ call. They stood on the promenade, waving Israeli and Australian flags, shouting abuse. Some were reportedly linked to far right and neo-Nazi groups present at last week’s anti-immigration “March for Australia.”
The militant Zionist group Lions of Zion had flown members in from Melbourne to stand alongside them, as did StandWithUs.
Holding my sign, I joined JAO’48 and hundreds of other Sydneysiders – many of whom are Palestinians grieving loved ones in Gaza – on the sand. I couldn’t hold back tears looking up at the promenade to the young blokes draped in the Israeli flag, supposedly ‘my brethren’ tainting Jewishness and trampling on the meaning of “Never Again.”
How many of them have served or are serving in the IOF, and are participating in a genocide?
