at Bondai Beach, some of them not good, some of
them heroic. This from the New York Post piece by
Ronnie rays Or rays I should say a man who
rushed in to help disarm one of the terrorists that
this is not the same guy that we talked about yesterday,
Akhmed al Ahmed I think is his name. This is
a different guy. Another guy rushed in to help disarm
one of the jihadists that had opened fire at the
crowd celebrating Hanukkah, which, of course, you know, we may
never know why these jihadis did what they did, trying
to massacre a bunch of Jews at the beach. Sunday,
the Saturday people and the Sunday people. It didn't really matter.
Just whoever was at the beach for the Hanka celebration.
They were all targeted, but one of the There was
another guy who rushed in to help disarm one of
the terrorists and he got shot by police and then
he got tackled by bystanders. The heroic civilian, who was
only described as a Middle Eastern refugee living with his
Australian wife and kids, was in Bondai Beach when Navid
Akram twenty four years old and his father, Sajid Akram
fifty allegedly allegedly it's on video, opened fire at a
crowd of Jewish revelers. At least fifteen people were killed
in the attack, dozens of other dozens of others were injured.
This this hero rushed in kicked the rifle away from
the guy because I think at that point he had
been shot. There was a there's now a video that
has been released showing a plain clothes detective who was
about about one hundred feet away. He kind of sneaks up,
gets behind a tree and with his pistol shoots this guy.
The twenty four year old son, the jihadis son, and
I think that's when this civilian rushes in to kick
the gun away from the guy, but then he got shot,
not sure by whom at this point. He was shot
during the chaotic scene that followed, with video showing members
of the public running in and attacking him as they
mistook the hero for one of the assailants. The injured
man was pinned to the ground by the mob, with
police running in to break up the scene and secure
the area. A local immigration lawyer named Alison Battison said
her client was living in Australia on a temporary visa
to be with his wife and children. They are all
Australian citizens. He got out of a taxi, he heard
the shooting. Other people ran away and he ran towards
the sound of the shooting, she told the UK Daily Mail.
She then added, it's open to public opinion as to
whether somebody who put himself in significant danger to help
the Australian community has earned a right to stay in Australia,
and I would say yes, I think he has. I
think if you commit acts of bravery like this in
defense of innocent people, in defensive Jewish people, that are
being attacked by some jie hottist maniacs. Yeah, I think
that should Like if you're doing a Ledger scoreboard or something,
I kind of feel like that should be on the
plus side for you in your citizenship application, you know,
assuming that he doesn't have any kind of you know,
criminal background or anything like that. He's got a wife
and kid that are citizens. He's been here apparently legally
or not here, but he's been in Australia legally on
a visa, so he's obviously complying with the law. And
to boot, he got shot trying to save innocent Australians.
So yeah, I'd say that should that should count in
his favor. I mentioned Ahmed al Ahmed, forty three years old.
This is another guy, local dad. I've seen some reports
that people are saying he was This is thee He's
from Syria and he's like a fruit stand vendor, I think.
And he's the one that you've seen the video of
where he gets up behind the father, which by the way,
that was the second time that the father was jumped
by by civilians, by people, you know, innocent bystanders saw
what was happening and jumped this the father, So he
was so Akmed was the second. I've seen reports and
people have said that he was a some sect of
Christian from Syria, but his family has said no, he's
a Muslim, and so like he's a Muslim defending Jews
and Christians and Muslims and anybody else that was down there.
Like the guys they're just opening fire on everybody. Right,
So he was successful at disarming one of the shooters.
He did sustain gunshot wounds to his left arm. I
still haven't seen whether or not the gun shot wounds
that he suffered came from the struggle over the gun.
I've seen some reports that indicate he may have been
shot by the twenty four year old Jihatas that was
up on the bridge and shot at him after he
disarmed the father, right, he got the gun away from
him and then he points the gun at the dad,
and the dad just like backs away and and like
you watch this video, and Akhmed just like puts the
gun down and lets him like run away, Like why
would you do that unless maybe he got shot, But
I couldn't tell from the video if he if that's
where he got chat. But he was in surgery and
he's still in the hospital. I mentioned he was the
second one to jump. The father Giatist. The first victims
of the massacre Boris German, sixty nine and his sixty
one year old wife, Sophia. They saw these guys getting
out of the car and they had ice as flags
and they had weaponry, and Boris jumped the father. And
there's video of it from a dash cam of somebody
driving past and seeing this altercation. They spotted the rifle
toting terrorist emerging from a car draped with a homemade
ISIS flag before the deadly rampage. According to the Sydney
Morning Herald, he courageously tackles the terrorist on the street,
wrestles away the gun. His wife runs over to help.
He then points the rifle at the killer in a
frantic attempt to make him retreat, but the terrorists grabbed
another rifle and executed both of them. So once again
here when you're talking about the use of firearms, don't
ever point a gun at somebody unless you intend to
pull the trigger. And had he pulled the trigger and
shot this guy dead, they'd still be alive.
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 1: The family said, well, nothing can lessen the pain of
losing Boris and Sophia, we feel an overwhelming sense of
pride in their bravery and selflessness. There's another guy, Reuven Morrison.
He was sixty two. He started hurling bricks at one
of the jihatis. He jumped this. Yeah, the family. His
daughter said he was throwing bricks and then he was killed.
He was shot dead, but she said, if there's one
way for him to go on this earth, it would
have been fighting a terrorist. All right. If you're listening
to this show, you know I try to keep up
with all sorts of current events, and I know you
do too, And you've probably heard me say get your
news from multiple sources. Why well, because it's how you
detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed
with ground News. It's an app and it's a website
and it combines news from around the world in one
place so you can compare coverage and verify information. You
can check it out at check dot ground dot news
slash pete. I put the link in the podcast description too.
I started using ground News a few months ago and
more recently chose to work with them as an affiliate
because it lets me see clearly how stories get covered
and by whom. The blind spot feature shows you which
stories get ignored by the left and the right. See

but it also supports Ground News as they make the
media landscape more transparent. Okay, so I was not expecting this,
but we may be able to decipher some kind of
a motive that the jihadists had at the Bandai Beach
massacre over the weekend. I didn't think we would ever
find this out, but Politico's got the scoop. Not really,
it's actually from the authorities in Australia. A mass shooting
in which fifteen people were killed during a Hanuka celebration
at Sydney's Bandai Beach was a terrorist attack inspired by
the Islamic State. So that's why they had the ISIS flag.
Now it makes sense, Okay, that all right, because I
wasn't sure at first. The suspects father and a son.
By the way, the son is still in the hospital.
He's in a coma. And I got to tell you,
like as one, like I've gone back and forth on
my personal opinion about the death penalty, and like I
used to be for it, then I was against it,
and then I was forward again, and now I'm against
it again. And I've been against it just for a
long time now, probably about fifteen years roughly, only because
I don't trust the government, you know, and I know
like that we have put to death innocent people and
that's not I'm not okay with that. So but I
understand people have different opinions about that, and that's not
my point here. But even I when I when I
heard this today and that the guy is this shooter,
this gee hottist is in the hospital in a coma,
and my question was why, like seriously, but why are
they trying to keep this guy alive? I get it, like, oh,
you know, every life is precious or whatever, but like
there isn't any doubt what the guy was doing. You know,
it's on video. Everybody has seen him. So I'm not
really clear why, like what's the point, Like maybe we
could get some information out of him, like what possible information.
I just I'm yea and I don't like the way
I feel when I asked that question of myself, like
why are they keeping him alive? He's in a coma?
Like how long are you going to keep him alive?
Why is Australia spending all of this money? Does Australia
put people? I mean, do they have assisted suicide? Did
they do that in Australia. I'm losing track of all
of these Western countries that are murdering their own citizens
with these assistants suicide programs. But yeah, so I just
I'm just I'm at a loss to try to figure out,
like why would the government be keeping this guy alive? Anyway?
A news conference was held today over in Australia, so
it was earlier. For the first time, officials confirmed their
beliefs about the suspect's ideologies, which was a mystery until
this news conference, until they could finally divulge that the
guys from Pakistan touting or toting I should say an
isis flag gunning down Jews at a Hanukkah celebration, that
there may have been some motivation related to a slam
maybe let me see here from the political argument article,
Rather to to do the Prime Minister of Australia has
pledged to tighten the country's already strict gun laws in
what would be the most sweeping reforms since a shooter
killed thirty five people in Port Arthur, Tasmania, back in
ninety six. And I mentioned this yesterday. What they're proposing
would not have actually done anything. In fact, the very
system created in nineteen ninety six where they took all
of the citizens' guns from them, confiscated all the weapons,
but then allowed people to get a license to buy
a gun. Like this was the system that Australia created
that this guy used. So like, you literally did this,
So Australia, you imported people, right. You also investigated both
the father and the son. Apparently they were known to
hang out with some local isis cell in Sydney at
a mosque, so like they were on your radar. He
had half a dozen guns, and you like this was
your system, your failure here, system failed, as Brett Winterbold
would say, the system failed. The suspects had also traveled
to the Philippines last month. The reasons for the trip
and where in the Philippines they went, they say, is
being probed by the investigators. The vehicle removed from the
scene registered to the younger suspect contained improvised explosive devices,
as well as two homemade isis flags. So inspired by
isis which, of course they were Like, that's obvious. They
were engaged in jihat of the sword, right, that's so.
Like for people who don't know this, have you heard
of a phrase dar al Islam, Like, that's that is
used to describe sort of like the territory that is
under control of Islam and then there is you know,
the area that's outside of their control, and that's dar
alhard that is where you war. Okay, So they're like
they according to Islamic ideology, there are there's basically two
types of territory, the territory controlled by Islam and then
the territory where we war. And it's been this way
for fourteen hundred years, Okay, Like that's this is not
new information. You know. Stories are powerful. They help us

to play a clip. It's an address actually from Rabbi
doctor Warren Goldstein. He is the chief Rabbi of South
Africa and here is his address after the Bandai Beach massacre.
Speaker 2: The mass murder terror attack in Sydney, Australia was not
simply an antisemitic incident that got out of control. It
was a professional military operation conducted as part of the
global jihadist war being waged on every continent. To plan
an operation like this takes time and resources, which was
only possible in an environment created by the Australian government
that has been conducive to the development of radical Islamist infrastructure. Correct,
an environment that indulges the demonization of Israel and Jews
on the streets, that allows people to chant gas the
Jews on the Sydney Bridge, that tolerates and even endorses
the genocidal slogan from the River to the Sea, a
call for the extermination of all Israeli Jews. What happened
in Sydney is what globalized the interfunder looks like in action,
correct jihad against the Jews. It is what happened in
Manchester where a terrorist attacked Jews at prayer on Yom Kippur.
It is what happened in Amsterdam where Israeli football fans
were hunted down in the streets, and it can happen
anywhere to any Jewish community in the world, because globalized
the Interfada means exactly that, hunting Jews everywhere.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: It is not a protest movement, it is not resistance.
It is a Jihud of murder, terror and distraction. Like
the original interfighters launched against the Jews of Israel, the
global version has nothing to do with a Palestinian state.
It never has. If it were about a state, there
would have been one in nineteen forty eight, in nineteen
sixty seven, in two thousand and one, and many times since.
The multi front Islamist war from Iran to Gaza, to
Lebanon and Yemen is not about a Palestinian state. It
is about jihad, the violence spread of a global Islamist
movement whose sole purpose is the destruction of the Jewish
state first and then the West and the rest of
the world. When Western leaders like this Australian Prime Ministan
his counterparts in Europe, in response to the gods of war,
recognize a Palestinian state, they endanger themselves, they reward jihadi terror,
and they make a lethal mistake, lethal to the survival
of the free world. Because the Jews are only the
first target, the jihadists take aim at all infidels. Their
slogan says it all first the Saturday people, then the
Sunday people.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: We are already seeing this goal being carried out across
Africa from Nigeria to Mozambique, Sudan to Mali jihadists on
the march slaughtering Christians, and in Europe, its capitals in London, Paris,
Berlin and Amsterdam and beyond have ever expanding no go
areas governed by sharia law. What happened in Sydney is
not ordinary anti Semitism. It is part of global jihud.
The West recognizes that it faces mortal peril, and that
starts with recognizing that Israel and the Jews are on
the front lines defending the world against the global jihad.
It is about Western governments having the courage to name
the evil by calling the attack on Bandai for what
it is, a jihad on the Jews, something that even
after all that has happened, the Australian Prime Minister cannot
bring himself to do. Until he does that, his countrymen
and the free world will not be safe. Abandon Israel
and the Jews, and you place yourselves in the crosshairs
of the jihadists. Jewish history teachers that those who rise
up to destroy the Jews seek ultimately to destroy all
that is sacred in the world. When Jewish citizens in
the world's democracies call on their governments to protect them
from this jihad. It is not merely a call to
defend Jewish lives, though that alone would justify decisive action.
It is a call to save those societies, because a
place that is unsafe for Jews is unsafe for all
decent human beings and unsafe for civilized values. Those in
the West who chant globalize the interfader are the academic,
political and media elite of the woke left, who, in
their hatred for Israel, have made themselves the useful idiots
of the Islamists, united by a common enemy. The foundational
values of Western liberal democracy, values that originate in the
Hebrew Bible, the sovereignty and freedom of the individual, the
innate dignity of the human being created in God's image, faith, family,
personal responsibility, the preciousness of life, the greatness of the
human spirit. For the West to survive, it must regain
moral clarity and stand for the values upon which civilization
is built. Here in South Africa, the government's support for
Hamasen Iran is under scrutiny. Its almost complete silence on
the jihadist war being waged in Africa is shameful and dangerous.
But I want to say this to our government, and
let me be clear, you are on notice. The attack
in Australia is another warning, not that one was needed.
In December last year, there were two attacks on Jewish
community centers on the same day, one in Melbourne and
one in Capetan. There is a high probability that these
attacks were linked. The Australian government has since exposed Iran
as being behind last year's attack. Early indications point to
Iran being behind this most recent attack in Sydney too.
And Iran is active in South Africa and you, as
the government, have close ties to them. Jihadi groups are
active across the continent. The message to this South African
government is very clear. You have been warned. You dare
not fail the Jewish community or any peace loving South Africans.
If any terror attack, God forbid happens in South Africa,
we will holdld you personally responsible because protecting your citizens
is your first and most sacred duty. As Jews around
the world mark the festival of Hanuker, we remember the
brave Maccabis who fought the tyranny of the ancient Greek
Empire for the most sacred of all human rights, the
freedom of conscience, the freedom to worship and practice your
faith without fear, intimidation, or coersion. We are an ancient
people and we know our divine destiny to be a
light unto the nations draws the forces of darkness to
extinguish that light. As Jews, we have never been and
will never be intimidated. When we sing the words of
maostsur as our Hanukar candles burn, we recall the generations who,
with God's help, overcame those who sought to destroy us.
That same strength and defiance endures in us today, like
those who came before us. With God's help, we will
overcome the darkness. We will defeat the forces of jihad
and their willing accomplices in the West. Each candle we
light is a declaration we will not be intimidated, we
will not surrender, and we will keep our divine values
burning bright in the face of darkness. A South African Jews,
we stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters
of the Australian Jewish community at this terrible time. Our
two communities are deeply connected by the bonds of family
and history, and we feel your loss and grief and horror. Personally,
May Hashem bring healing to the injured and comfort to
the families of those murdered among all the other mourners
of Zion and Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: All right again, that was South African Chief Rabbi doctor
Warren Goldstein. Here's a great idea. How about making an
escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western

Beach massacre, there was a Christmas market in Brussels yesterday
that was overrun by Islamists. Christians that were there at
the Christmas celebration fled the area. It was completely mobbed
by hamas holes that were waving the Palestinian flags and
such and chanting as they do. Polish authorities stopped in
isis inspired attack on a Christmas market in Poland. German
authorities stopped in Islamist plot to attack a Christmas market
there Paris, France just canceled their big Christmas celebration and
then of course year in America and the FBI announced
yesterday they foiled a plot to bomb multiple sites of
two US companies on New Year's Eve in southern California
after arresting members of an extremist, anti capitalist and anti
government group. How the AP describes this group called Tilf
Turtle Island Liberation Front. Remember what the rabbi just talked about,
the useful idiots right, the leftists or these useful idiots
for the Jihatis. The four suspects arrested in the Mojave
Desert east of LA while they were rehearsing their plot.
According to First Assistant US Attorney Bill Asali, officials showed
reporters surveillance aerial footage of the suspects moving a large
black object in the desert onto a table they'd set
up a bunch of tables. Officials said they were able
to make the arrests before the suspects assembled a functional
explosive device. In the criminal complaint, suspects named are Audrey
Eileen Carroll thirty years old, Zachary Aaron Page thirty two,
Dante Gaffield twenty four, and Tina Lay forty one. They
are all from the Los Angeles area. They did pick
up that guy in New Orleans and According to Andy No,
he is a the one they picked up down in
New Orleans as a known quote unquote trantifa so transgender,
antifa agitator, person with neck tattoos, always with the neck
tattoos anyway. Officials did not describe a motive, but they
said the members are an offshoot of a group dubed
the Turtle Island Liberation Front. The group calls for decolonization,
tribal sovereignty, and the working class to rise up and
fight back against capitalism. The term turtle Island is used
by some indigenous peoples to describe nor America in a
way that reflects its existence outside of the colonial boundaries
put in place by the US and Canada. It comes
from indigenous creation stories where the continent was formed on
the back of a giant turtle. Officials, which, by the way,
that's not true. We are not like the continent of
America is not on the back of a turtle. Just
I don't know if anybody needed to hear that, but
just want to know. Don't want to be spreading misinformation.
Officials also found Free Palestine flyers at the Desert campsite
where the suspects were working with the bomb making materials.
Assale said that Carol last month create, one of the suspects,
created a detailed plan to bomb five or more business
locations across southern California on New Year's Eve. He did
not name the companies, but described them as Amazon type
logistical centers. The plan included planting backpacks filled with pipe
bombs that were set to be detonated simultaneously on midnight
New Year's Eve in order to mask the sound with
the fireworks. They said. New Year's Eve was identified because
there's a lot of you know, loud noises and bangs
and explosions. An eight page handwritten plan titled Operation Midnight
Sun stated more locations could be added. The locations were
identified as property and facilities operated by two separate companies
tied to activities affecting interstate and foreign comers. Two of
the group's members also discussed plans for future attacks targeting
ice facilities and agents with pipe bombs. Photos included in
the court documents show a desert campsite with what investigators
said were bomb making materials strewn across plastic folding tables.
The suspects recently had acquired precursor chemicals as well as
other items, including purchases from Amazon. Wait a minute, Hang
on a second, So the plan is to blow up
Amazon type facilities. Get your buying all the materials off Amazon, guys.
The FBI moved in last week as the suspects were
rehearsing the attack in the desert near twenty nine Palms, California. Quote.
They had everything they needed to make an operational bomb
at that location. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
