Israeli intelligence has officially named Iran as the leading suspect behind the devastating terrorist shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on December 14, 2025, where a father-and-son duo targeted a public Hanukkah menorah-lighting event, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more. Mossad sources point to increased Iranian activity through proxies like Hezbollah’s external operations unit, building on prior warnings about Tehran-orchestrated networks in Australia. This assessment comes amid ongoing investigations into potential foreign direction, following Australia’s earlier expulsion of Iranian diplomats over linked antisemitic attacks, including arsons on Jewish sites.

The perpetrators, identified as Sajid and Naveed Akram—Muslim residents of Sydney’s western suburbs—were armed with licensed long-barreled firearms, with the elder killed by police and the younger in custody. The attack, classified as targeted antisemitism, has reignited debates on immigration policies in a nation historically shaped by English settlers and free of such imported tribal conflicts before mass inflows from the Middle East.

This imported horror raises a stark question: why should ordinary Australians, particularly those of English descent who tamed and civilized the continent, endure the terror of mass shootings stemming from ancient ethnic and religious rivalries between Jews and Muslims—tribes with no historical role in building the country? When foreign hatreds spill onto Australian soil through migration, endangering innocent citizens, it’s time to prioritize national security over unchecked multiculturalism, preventing distant grievances from turning peaceful shores into battlegrounds.
