Mostly

We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.

It was the coolest time, and they ran for it, they were running with the wind, and they had no idea why, strait into a creepy forest.

This not so beautiful liberal democracy is looking very Nazi in the radical world: You said What is going on with those purity tests on Jews Gemini said The term "purity tests" for Jews is currently being used in two very different ways. Depending on whether you're seeing this in the context of campus politics or Israeli religious law, it refers to two separate controversies. 1. Ideological "Purity Tests" (Social & Political) In the U.S. and Europe, this term is increasingly used by Jewish advocacy groups to describe a social phenomenon where Jewish individuals are being asked to denounce Zionism or the State of Israel as a condition for being accepted into progressive spaces. The "Condition": Jews in student organizations, professional circles, or activist groups report being told they are only "acceptable" if they explicitly identify as anti-Zionist. The Criticism: Critics call these "purity tests" a form of modern antisemitism, arguing that they force Jews to renounce a core part of their identity (their connection to their ancestral homeland) just to participate in public life. The Trend: As of February 2026, reports indicate this is spreading beyond universities into professional fields like psychology and the arts.

Who's your mama?
Its the holy grail. He lets the horse find it. That’s a beautiful metaphor, and it says a lot about where your mind is right now. In the Grail legends, the knight doesn’t find the cup by force, strategy, or control. He finds it when he stops gripping the reins and lets the horse — the part of him that’s instinctive, humble, and open — lead the way. It’s a story about surrender, but not the passive kind. It’s the surrender that comes after you’ve done everything you can, after you’ve wrestled with fear and meaning and responsibility, and you finally accept that some things have to unfold beyond your control. That’s exactly the space you’re describing. You’ve been carrying a lot: fear about cultural shifts, disappointment in people you thought were allies, the weight of history, the sense of being a communicator in a moment that feels morally unstable. When you put something out into the world — a post, a song, an image — there’s a moment where you can’t steer it anymore. You let the horse find the path. You trust that the honesty in what you shared will land where it needs to. Letting go in that sense isn’t abandoning responsibility. It’s acknowledging that meaning is co‑created, that you’re part of something larger, and that you don’t have to micromanage every ripple. It’s a kind of faith — in God, in the process, in the idea that truth has its own gravity.

CO26023 | The Bondi Attack: ISIS-Inspired Antisemitic Terrorism in Australia Joshua Roose 09 February 2026 download pdf Listen to this article 8 min SYNOPSIS The December 2025 assault on a Jewish community gathering at Bondi Beach outside Sydney, Australia, was the deadliest terrorist attack in recent Australian history. It exposed legislative and security gaps, failures in threat assessment and protective security, and political inaction amid escalating antisemitism. It also serves a warning for Western counterterrorism and social cohesion policies. COMMENTARY On the evening of December 14, 2025, at around 6.45 pm, a father and son pair inspired by Islamic State (ISIS) ideology carried out a coordinated attack on a Jewish community Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The event, attended by around 1,000 people, was held in open parkland with minimal cover. The attackers arrived by car, displayed an ISIS flag across the windscreen, and initiated the assault using simple but effective military tactics. After throwing four improvised explosive devices that failed to detonate, Sajid Akram advanced on the crowd armed with straight-pull shotguns, firing at close range. His son, Naveed Akram, provided cover from higher ground with a .308 straight-pull rifle, enabling sustained fire across the site. Several bystanders bravely attempted to intervene. Three were killed, and one was seriously wounded. A police officer at the scene returned fire and was seriously wounded. The attack was stopped about six minutes after it began when a plainclothes police officer, acting independently and armed only with a pistol, fatally shot Sajid Akram and wounded Naveed Akram. Fifteen people were killed; fourteen members of the Jewish community – including a Holocaust survivor, two rabbis and a 10-year-old-girl – along with a non-Jewish photographer. Failure in Threat Assessment and Intelligence The Bondi attack exposed the shortcomings of Australia’s firearms and protective security frameworks, which remain heavily shaped by a lone-actor threat model dating back to Port Arthur in 1996 where a gunman armed with two semi-automatic rifles killed 35 men, women, and children at a tourist site in the state of Tasmania. This was the deadliest mass shooting in Australian history. Acting in tandem, the Bondi attackers exploited legal grey zones by using high powered straight-pull shotguns designed to circumvent bans on pump-action weapons. They achieved sustained close range, improvised micro-combined arms rifle and shotgun fire with these legally obtained weapons to maximise casualties. Irrespective of the failure of the improvised explosive devices, the attack demonstrated how legislative intent can be circumvented through tactical adaptation. Equally alarming was the ease of preparation. Despite Naveed Akram’s documented associations with extremist Salafi preacher Wissam Haddad and the Street Dawah network, the pair retained lawful access to firearms through Sajid Akram’s licensing (from 2023), travelled to Mindanao in the Philippines in October 2025 in an apparent attempt to establish contact with Islamic State, rehearsed tactical shooting techniques in rural New South Wales, and conducted hostile reconnaissance of the Hanukkah celebration site in Bondi Beach days before the attack. When the assault began, the attackers were significantly better armed than local police, who only had pistols. These failures intersected with shortcomings in threat assessment. The Hanukkah gathering was publicly advertised, and its intersection with Bondi Beach – a renowned landmark – gave the event particular symbolic significance. Although the Hanukkah celebrations were held in an exposed environment, it seems to have been security-assessed using a generic crowded-places framework rather than one tailored to a markedly heightened threat environment. This is despite reports that the Jewish Community Security Group (CSG) had identified a heightened risk during Hanukkah. In the preceding months, pro-Palestinian protests had targeted Bondi and surrounding suburbs with significant Jewish populations, sometimes involving aggressive behaviour. Across Australia, antisemitic incidents had escalated sharply, including graffiti, harassment of Jews, and designated terrorist activity linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, culminating in the expulsion of the Iranian embassy. Despite this context, access to the Bondi Hanukkah gathering appears to have been unrestricted. Reports indicate that three police personnel were present at or near the event, but this did not deter the attackers, who engaged police, wounding two. The attack also raises broader questions about intelligence sharing and coordination. Previous events, including the Dural caravan incident, had already highlighted gaps and tensions in how threat information is synthesised across Australian federal and state agencies. In this case, the failure to assess familial, ideological, and logistical risk factors holistically appears to have obscured the danger posed by lawful firearm access within an extremist-related network. Political Context and Inaction Bondi took place against a backdrop of sustained political equivocation amid the rising tide of antisemitism. Following the protest at the Sydney Opera House on October 9, 2024, where offensive chants targeting Jews were reported, the official response was marked by dispute and delay, resulting in an inquiry that produced little accountability. Over the past two years, antisemitic rhetoric has increasingly been reframed as legitimate political expression through the language of anti-Zionism. That shift matters. The attackers themselves used the term “Zionists” in their video recorded before the attack, illustrating how the toleration of specific political language can distort threat assessment and underplay the potential of extremism and violence. These developments have unfolded within a context of electoral calculation, as the government seeks wider community support in critical constituencies, and demonstrates a more inclusive political posture. Seemingly, this has failed to moderate the extremist sentiment and may have emboldened it. Where to from Here After an initial delay and a raft of new laws targeting hate and gun violence, the Australian government has announced a “Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion” to report in November 2026, alongside a security review led by former ASIO Director-General Denis Richardson, with a preliminary report due in April 2026. These processes will matter only if they address the structural failures exposed by Bondi terror rather than focusing narrowly on operational errors. The central question is whether Australia is willing to recalibrate its threat models, protective security frameworks, and political thresholds for action in an environment of sustained antisemitic and jihadist mobilisation. The Bondi attack must be understood as a critical warning for Western democracies facing similar challenges.
