"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
In the pretty dawn of day one of a week-long Sydney heatwave, over a thousand surfers have formed a giant circle so big it grazed the boat ramp in the north and the shark buoy south, to honour and mourn the victims of Sunday’s Islamic State-inspired massacre at a kid’s Hanukkah party.
“It’s just beautiful,” the executive council of Australian Jewry co-chief exec Alex Ryvchin told the state broadcaster, itself under fire for its relentlessly negative coverage of the Israel-Gaza. “It’s a gorgeous day and you see that scene – I’ve seen paddle-outs before but never of that size.”
It was just so clear to everybody that this is what the community needed and wanted,” Sol told Today. And I’m a member of the of the Bondi Jewish community, the broader eastern suburbs Jewish community. And for us, this is incredibly important in terms of the start of the healing process. Just looking at the faces as they came out of the water, watching those scenes of thousands of people in that circle having their moments silence and then just the splashing, the screaming. It was incredible.”
Rabbi Eichenblatt spoke of a harrowing FaceTime call from his teenage daughter, who was there at the petting zoo when the Islamic State bullets started hitting the dirt beside her, telling her daddy, “They’re shooting at us.
The good Rabbi finished proceedings with that most famous of Psalms, the Old Testament’s Psalm 23 or The Psalm of David.
Psalm 23 reading at Bondi Beach paddle out
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
All my love to my Aussies brothers and sisters.
It’s not news in my world.
“leftist shrew melts down” wasn’t the type of headline that screams “objective news source” so I didn’t click.
As for a carload of lads being arrested, yip saw that over here too.
politics aside, after the past 90 years or so, amazing to me that any jewish people hang on to belief in a higher power
can’t begin to comprehend the level of pain these families are going through , particularly those who lost children … thoughts are with them.
NSW banning all protests for 3 months so everyone can pretend a genocide is not happening in real time and a community whose major source of identity is to regurgitate an historical tragedy in another century in another continent by white supremacists now see no irony in their refusal to face the mirror.
As a Jew, the amount of restraint it takes to not go full ad hominem on your dumbass should win me a fucking medal
Lol…I know, the zio lobby tries to criminalise any criticism of Israel so it can continue exterminating Palestinians…ad hominem is all ya got
the same old message supporting the same crimes…
at least America is asking questions now. People no longer fear the accusations associated with disbelief.
I don’t like what’s happening in Gaza either but the term “genocide” has become meaningless since the wars in former Yugoslavia.
I just don’t understand how there can be a genocide with Gaza’s population stability, since it’s a lot faster to kill a person than to make one.
Also the focus on Gaza itself is strange to me. There are a number of ethnic cleansings going on today and within the last 20 years. Did you know that an army that was quietly but not so secretly trained by US forces, a favor we did in return for quietly helping us out with GWOT logistics, later ethnically cleansed over 100,000 people? This conflict is just as nuanced as Israel/Palestine and is also just as easily flattened into good vs. evil depending on your own personal biases. But talking about this one doesn’t make you look cool, educated, or sophisticated.
My ultimate issue with this whole topic is that I don’t think people actually care about Gazans, it’s just conspicuous consumption of ideas. Instead of a Birkin bag that shows status it’s saying that a genocide is happening in Gaza.
Did Eddy go , asking for a non jew from Bondi.
Thoughts about the car loads (2) of muslims getting rammed and placed in custody on their way to Bondi?
A mate lived in a little suburb of Melbourne. A diaspora of hardcore Muslim crowd. You’d go to the shops and get the heaviest looks from these cunts. Like “what the fuck are you doing here” sort of looks. I’m talking 10 years ago.
Did I tell ya about the time a Sharia gang started belting on the window of our car in London as we tried to buy booze? I did? Dang.
Did any media pick up on it?
Otto News Now did.

Hahaha you’re a good cunt Dez so please never change. Laughing at yourself and keeping your head when everything around you is crumbling used to be a real national characteristic of Strayans and now I feel many of us are becoming as sensitive and offended as the seppo soft cocks we all used to laugh at haha
Hey now I’m no seppo soft cock, I just need my magic blue V pill.
