Video showed the center-left PM being widely heckled as he approached Sunday’s memorial service being held by Sydney’s Jewish community, a week after two gunmen killed 15 Jews and wounded dozens more during the devastating act of Islamic terror on Bondi Beach.
NY Post (h/t Nita) Protesters shouted, “blood on your hands,” “shame on you,” “not welcome,” and “you supported the intifada,” as the grim-faced Albanese walked up and took his seat in the front row at the event, where a makeshift stage and seating risers had been set up.
Some 10,000 mourners and dignitaries had gathered — under tight police security — on the iconic Sydney beach safter the federal and New South Wales state governments declared Sunday a national “Day of Reflection.”
Albanese was booed a second time, amid a smattering of applause, after his presence was acknowledged by the speaker on stage.In contrast, opposition leader Sussan Ley, who had said a conservative government led by her would reverse Albanese’s Labor Party’s decision this year to recognize a Palestinian state, was met with a standing ovation.
Victims’ families feel “tragically, unforgivably let down” by the government’s failures to fight growing antisemitism in Australia since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023, Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin told the crowd. “I’ve spent time with the families of the victims. They’re just in a bewildered state. They’re still in shock. They don’t know what to do with themselves, let alone contemplate moving forward and healing,” Ryvchin said.
Albanese has vowed to strengthen Australia’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies following the attack. “Tonight we stood together as Australians. To reject antisemitism. To remember the precious lives we lost one week ago. And to wrap our arms around the Jewish community who are grieving. This has been a dark week for Australia, but we will never let hate divide us,” he said in a statement on X following the memorial.
What a POS this Albanese is!
I wonder how many non-Jews were booing him as well? I am hoping lots but I suspect few.
I bet a lot of them were. Christians need to know they are targets, too, evidenced by all the genocide of Christians going on in the Muslim world.
Whether you are Jew or non-Jew, Australian or non-Australian, the most important thing to realized post-Bondi Beach slaughter is that now it’s innocent Jews but tomorrow it will be innocent Christian blood shed. The muslims unabashedly say it out loud themselves, “first we will kill the Saturday people, then we will kill the Sunday people.” Majority Christian nations ignore their respective muslim infections at their own peril. Don’t think for a second that the blood lust of the Islamic death cult will be satisfied with only the killing of Jews. The Lord of Hosts is watching us all. The tolerance of evil is also an evil.
And that’s obvious by all the slaughter of Christians going on in Muslim majority countries. Unfortunately, it doesn’t often make the news in this country.
Some good news though finally:

Too bad he didn’t literally put him to sleep.
Don’t forget, the majority of people in Australia ELECTED the Labour Party and Albenese into office.
Its a bit late for regrets now.
This is just a preview of what NYC and its new al-Qaeda supporting Muslim mayor will look like.
GET RID OF ALBO, GIVE PAULINE HANSON A CHANCE MAKE HER OUR NEXT PM.
I agree!
