Jews, get your guns; no one is
coming to save the chosen people

"That didn't take long" is the understatement of the decade.

In the 48 hours after the Dec. 14 Bondi Beach massacre, the incidence of antisemitic attacks soared worldwide. In New York City, several members of Orthodox Judaism's Hasidic Chabad movement, including a rabbi, were attacked on the subway on their way home from a Hanukkah celebration. Hours later, a Jewish man was stabbed on a sidewalk in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, as his assailant reportedly spat slurs at him.

Australia reported a 600% spike in such incidents in the days after the Bondi Beach massacre, including "expressions of hatred against Jews, alongside physical and verbal violence in public," according to The Jerusalem Post. On Christmas Day in Melbourne, a car bearing a "Happy Chanukah" roof billboard was firebombed.

Antisemitic violence surges globally after every large-scale, widely publicized murder of Jews. It happened in 2023 in the days after Oct. 7; in 1987 and 2000 after the launch of the first and second intifadas, respectively; and in 1942, after Holocaust atrocities were revealed to the American public. That's hardly an exhaustive list.

For some reason (it's antisemitism), instead of triggering sympathy, such events seem to indicate to the world that it's open season on the Jews — again.
