The Bondi Beach attack showed us the reality. This so-called mostly peaceful Palestinian movement is not as innocent as they pretend. In his first statement, Albo, the prime minister, said that there’s no evidence that attackers were radicalized. If this is not the form of radicalized Islamic extremism, then what is it? Forget proper actions. Leaders are too politically correct to even call out the attack properly. There was no mention about antisemitism or Islamic extremism in Albo’s first statement. It took him more than 24 hours to say that those terrorists were radicalized. I saw the sarcastic article from the Babylon Bee. It says Australia bans Hanukkah to stop violence against Jews, joking that Albo thinks if it wasn’t Hanukkah, the attack would never happen. The Babylon Bee used to post sarcastic, creative, not real news. But unfortunately this time they posted a headline that was very close to the reality. You know that we are so messed up when Babylon Bee articles are getting so close to reality. It’s a good parameter.
Let’s get back to the Palestine moment. A few months ago the Palestine Action Committee in the UK attacked weapon manufacturing centers. Vandalism became normalized in England under the Palestine movement. They damaged facilities and painted equipment. These are no longer peaceful protests but acts of terrorism and sabotage of national security. The UK is actively providing significant support to Ukraine, and these attacks were targeted at those facilities too. It’s no longer about Israel. These attackers don’t see limits. There’s a huge gap between this and protesting and freedom of expression. In the USA they vandalized historical statues, places, and government buildings. Universities are occupied by them. In sport events in Europe there are organized attacks on Jews, like the violent incidents around Israeli soccer fans. In every country the Palestine movement takes everything for granted and crosses the red line on so many levels.
Globalize “Intifada” is their main slogan along with “From the river to the sea.” Both are obviously genocidal remarks. If you have a functioning brain, you know “from the river to the sea” means from the Jordanian river to the Mediterranean Sea. That means eradicating the state of Israel. A very real nation and its people and replace it with a Mordor-type fantasy nation. Palestine. A country that never existed in history. It’s not me saying this, but Zuheir Mohsen, a senior PLO/Palestinian politician, was the leader of the Ba’athist As-Sa’iqa faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) between 1971 and 1979. He said, “The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons.”
Mohsen’s statement is still valid for today. The ultimate goal of the Palestine movement is not peace, ceasefire, or a two-state solution. Its ultimate goal is eradicating only the Jewish nation. But not only that. It is, at its core, anti-West. Entities like Qatar, Iran, and terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah use it for their international missions. Using the loopholes of Western nations and exploiting in the name of activism is just a beginning. At the same time, it works as the political wing of a terrorist organization. Infiltrated into Western institutions. Controlling the media narrative and also covering sleeper cells and providing them safe havens. Distracting law enforcement. Weak leaders and useful idiots are becoming part of it and contributors with or without any idea about the consequences.
Globalize Intifada is their endgame. So let’s learn about the Intifada. It’s not freedom. It’s not peace. The meaning of Intifada is “uprising.” But when you look at the history in the Palestine movement context, it means terrorism or violence. What happened in the First Intifada (1987-1993) and the Second Intifada (2000-2005)? They caused hundreds of Israeli deaths. Shootings and suicide bombings were the tools of the Intifada. The Second Intifada alone killed more than 1000 Israeli civilians and soldiers. Then there was a lone wolf Intifada in 2015/16. It seems like lonely incidents. Yet the Palestinian authority has “Pay for the Slay”, aka the Martyrs Fund, which pays money to families of these terrorists. No international organization, including the UN, took clear action on this. This intifada is not a lone wolf but a well-funded and well-organized terror wave that still happens in many areas.
So that’s about the Intifada and its meaning. What is the Globalize Intifada? That means make it globalized. Those suicide bombings and those knife attacks should happen across the world until they achieve the ultimate goal. We saw this in the May 2025 shooting in Washington, DC, that killed two Israeli embassy diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, with the attacker shouting pro-Palestinian slogans. then The latest attack is the Bondi Beach terror attack, which claimed 16 lives and left many wounded. The term “globalize Intifada” became normal in Australia with the Palestine movement. Then, with all the warnings, Albo failed to act.
These two terrorists, Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram, are both clearly inspired by ISIS as well as the constant mantra of Globalize Intifada. When we dig deeper, it shows Naveed Akram was a follower and student of radical preacher Wissam Haddad, known as the spiritual leader of Sydney’s pro-ISIS networks. Haddad runs the Al Madina Dawah Centre and has been linked to radicalizing youth for years, influencing multiple generations of jihadists. Australian social media influencer Drew Pavlou publicly warned about this man years ago, highlighting his hateful sermons and calls for jihad. Pavlou pointed out Haddad’s extremism and demanded action against his center. Yet Australian authorities showed ignorant behavior, ignoring these warnings and even undercover ASIO reports about Haddad indoctrinating young people. Haddad challenged authorities repeatedly with his speeches, but he was never charged with terrorism offenses and continued to radicalize the youth in his community freely. Our complicated processes and bureaucracy plus endless tolerance made it almost impossible to counter these kinds of threats. The end result was that one of his students, Naveed Akram, followed his teachings and carried out this horrific attack with his father. The term “globalize Intifada” became more normalize in Australia with the Palestine movement. So these two terrorists were both clearly inspired by ISIS as well as the broader mantra of “Globalize Intifada” in radical circles. If leaders do not act properly, many more Intifada-inspired attacks could terrorize the civilized world. We have to see the true form of radical elements in the Palestine movement as it is. Globalize Intifada as it is. No amount of sugarcoating can remove the reality of it.
Now what will be the end scenario of the investigation of the Bondi Beach terror attack? A few arrests are not going to solve anything. Meetings and cuddles (the only thing Australian leaders are good at) will do nothing but make Islamists laugh at you. I’m not surprised if the Akram family, the remaining members, including the mother of the terrorist who said the son is a good boy, will continue to stay in Australia and get benefits from its welfare system. The unchecked mass migration and flood of Middle East refugees will not stop either. That’s the problem. We have to either take necessary broader actions or let these killers take us all. What we should keep in mind is mercy to wolves is cruelty to the sheep.
