Australian Jewish families in  terror and despair, many now planning to flee to Israel after the Bondi attack. By Cameron Stewart in The Australian.

The two gunmen had barely finished their murderous rampage against Jews in Bondi when Jewish chat groups across Sydney and Melbourne caught fire.

“I feel like I’m going to vomit,” one woman said on a Jewish WhatsApp thread. “Me too,” replied another. “Me too. (I’m) at a wedding and everyone is on their phones.”

Another chimed in: ‘So now we are up to the public executions phase of Holocaust 2.0. At which point do we leave?”

One posted a location shot of his teenage child on vacation in central Israel, saying “she’s the safest of all of us”. “Feeling crushed and shattered. Struggling to breathe. How could this be happening in Australia?” said another.

“I feel like we need to leave. I’ve never said that … I can’t live in a country where I can’t send my kids to go to a Hanukkah event. This country has failed us as a people,” said another. …

Despite occasional missile alarms forcing her family to rush downstairs into bunkers, Ms Friedman said she felt more safe in Israel than she did in Australia. …

The messages exchanged between ordinary Australian Jews in the hours and days after the Bondi massacre give a heartbreaking ­insight in the deep shock, ­disbelief and white-hot anger towards the Albanese government for failing to protect them. …

The immediate response of many was to say they planned to abandon Australia for ­Israel. …

Albanese is the poster boy for everything wrong about Australian Government:

The hostility towards the government and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for failing to do more to combat anti-Semitism was palpable, with much of the criticism so laden with expletives as to be unprintable.

“The Jews are dead, the shops are closing and the people are leaving. Well done Labor,” said one.
