five-year old girl on the beach in Rafah, southern Gaza.

In July Israeli gunships bombed tents on the beach

In March last year Israel killed two unarmed Palestinians on the beach 
and buried their bodies under the sand

a bulldozer.

In May and June of last year, an Al Jazeera Arabic investigation found

snipers killed Palestinians on the beach in Gaza who were walking 
towards them with their hands up. Their bodies were left strewn on the 
sand, later eaten by stray dogs.

In June last year video phone footage

Israel bombing the tents of displaced people on a Gaza beach.

In July last year Israeli soldiers filmed themselves

mortar shells at people on the beach in Gaza for fun.

In August last year Israeli gunships once again opened fire

the tents of displaced Palestinians on the beach, killing and wounding.

In August this year Israel bombed a tent on the beach

Gaza which had been turned into a makeshift café, killing four.

This café attack came after the far-more deadly café attack just a few 
weeks earlier, in late June, which targeted the popular Al-Baqa 
Cafeteria and killed thirty-nine people 
<https://substack.com/redirect/fdc4ef87-6fd3-466f-9932-a401cbf916e7?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>including 
a one-year old girl and numerous journalists.

Even the BBC couldn’t ignore this one. 
<https://substack.com/redirect/14d35106-8e94-49fe-aa94-61ed6911213b?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>

The beaches of Gaza, and in particular Gaza’s beach cafes, have for many 
years been a regular site of Israeli slaughter.

In July 2014, Israel bombed the Fun Time Beach Café 
<https://substack.com/redirect/a16c008d-a107-4e10-ae20-96b9770c3580?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>where 
dozens had gathered to watch the World Cup semi-final between Argentina 
and The Netherlands. Nine people were murdered, five of them children.

Seven days later Israel launched missiles at children 
<https://substack.com/redirect/fc18205c-da0a-4d66-ae68-e733b70f60e7?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>playing 
football on the beach in Gaza, killing four.

These are just a selection of terror attacks on beaches, the ones I 
could find, the ones that were filmed, the ones we know about.

Most people won’t have heard about any of these. There were no outraged 
statements, no sombre-faced TV presenters reading these deaths as 
headline news. These beach atrocities didn’t provoke days of front-page 
coverage and live blogs.

Who knows how many people in total have been killed on the beaches of 
Gaza. Dozens? Hundreds? No one is keeping score.

Unlike the Bondi beach attack, where the score keeping is precise. We 
know the number of dead and we know their names, their faces, their stories.

The coverage of Bondi is an injunction to identify and to feel empathy.

This coverage, in contrast to the relative silence regarding beach 
atrocities in Gaza, speaks loud and clear: Jewish lives matter and 
Palestinian lives don’t.

Not, anyway, to the western political and media elite.

This has been obvious for years, especially the past two. The last few 
days have driven home this fact.

15 dead Jews is days of headlines and global political reaction.

15 dead Palestinians is just another Tuesday.

Six days ago, the UN reported 
<https://substack.com/redirect/d8c5538e-22de-42c7-a7c0-1a7734c404cd?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>360 
Palestinians in Gaza have been killed since the ‘ceasefire’ was 
announced. The number has since risen to 393 
<https://substack.com/redirect/a3954a55-318f-467f-accd-ecd0d5c04c3c?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>. 
How many of their names do you know? How many of their faces have you 
seen on your screens? Mothers, sons, husbands, brothers. In one instance 
in late November, a ten-year old and a nine-year old, brothers, murdered 
while collecting firewood. 
<https://substack.com/redirect/5cfb312d-14f6-4455-b770-1be7f84d0893?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>

Despite nearly 400 dead, the media report that the ceasefire ‘is broadly 
holding.’ And not only that, they report it /in the same breath/that 
they report Israel breaching the ceasefire.

	<https://substack.com/redirect/505a01c5-6f11-47dd-9fff-b5b99cbf4af3?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM> 	

Do we think, /do we honestly think/, that if 400 Israeli soldiers, let 
alone civilians, had been killed since the ceasefire, the media would 
report that the ceasefire was ‘broadly holding'.

Obviously that’s a rhetorical question because none of us are that stupid.

The imperialism is so disgusting and so racist, yet so many will not, 
cannot, see it for what it is. They will, and they have, unconsciously 
absorbed the racism of the media environment around them. The 
differentials between the coverage of Jewish deaths and the coverage of 
Palestinian deaths are intentional, shaping thoughts, feelings and politics.

Here’s another truth about the Bondi attack you’ll never hear from the 
mainstream media: if international law existed the Chabad of Bondi 
wouldn’t have been allowed to host that event on Bondi Beach, and the 
rabbis wouldn’t be dead. They’d be in The Hague.

I say this because the Chabad of Bondi, a local chapter of the global, 
fanatically Zionist Chabad movement, had raised funds to provide 
material support for genocide. On Israeli TVearlier this year 
<https://substack.com/redirect/652e2975-9a1f-4c2f-bc85-e61407a96d55?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>, 
the dead rabbi who helped run the Chabad, Eli Schlanger, live-streamed a 
fundraising appeal from the West Bank while ranting about how Arabs 
could never be allowed to own the land he was standing on.

Schlanger was also pictured on numerous occasions 
<https://substack.com/redirect/3726a97a-065c-46f1-a724-0bff5af3ad57?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>over 
the last two years with IDF soldiers, grinning ear-to-ear while holding 
guns and missiles. He shouldn’t be dead. He should be behind bars, 
charged with war crimes, with being an accessory to genocide and running 
an organisation that funnelled funds to a genocidal foreign entity.

But as is now obvious, there is one rule for Jewish Zionists and there 
are rules for the rest.

It is estimated that up to one thousand Australian Jews 
<https://substack.com/redirect/35b1b683-f0ff-4751-b76f-ce83fbe100e1?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>were 
called up by Israel as reservists and participated in the genocide of 
Gaza. There are stone-cold Jewish killers walking on Bondi beach, on the 
streets of Sydney, and on the streets of other Australian towns and 
cities. No one knows the precise number, because Australia doesn’t track 
them. Australia’s government doesn’t care if their citizens leave the 
country to kill if they are leaving to kill Palestinians.

It’s the same across the west.

Palestinian lives don’t matter.

Only Jewish lives do.

This is reaffirmed over and over and over again, and, since the weekend, 
has once again been made loud and clear.

A look at the Chabad website also makes this clear. In a Q&A designed to 
provide Jews 
<https://substack.com/redirect/10eb15a7-b5d1-4725-bb99-737d529a2f11?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM>with 
propaganda to regurgitate when Israel is questioned, they tell their 
followers that every innocent in Gaza, every child killed by Israel is a 
human shield, that their deaths are ‘tragic inevitabilities’ and Israel 
can’t be held responsible.

In December 2023, by which point thousands of children had been 
slaughtered in Gaza, the Chabad of Bondi held a party in solidary with 
Israel.

<https://substack.com/redirect/0937aa7c-4262-4486-bd01-00c0c2cc23f5?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM> 

We’re constantly told that Israel and Judaism are two separate things.

But the Chabad of Bondi, like many Jewish organisations in the west, 
make essentially no distinction between Jews and Israel. They side with 
genocide and celebrate the mass slaughter of children.

So if the attack was blowback for this position, if it was blowback for 
imperial violence, it would hardly be a surprise, and it would hardly be 
the first time.

The last two years could lead us to conclude that international law 
isn’t coming for Zionists and their crimes. The answer, nevertheless, 
remains international law. Applied universally, without fear or favour.

But to get there, we’re going to need to build a new system where no 
one, no religion, and no state, is above that law.

A system where every terror attack on any beach is viewed, treated and 
punished equally.
