British antisemite Mark Collett, who thinks it positive that there is a “racial awakening” that includes “re-evaluating WW2” and has “normie” accounts “openly sharing admiration for Adolph Hitler," uses Bondi Beach murders to gin up antisemitism, anti-immigrant bigotry.
Anti-vaxxer David Avocado Wolfe is among those spreading the claim that the Israeli Defense Force lies behind the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia.
In the wake of the horrific murders in Australia, some are ginning up antisemitism, placing Israel behind the massacre. This from the Australian Associated Press. www.aap.com.au/factcheck/mi...
Our hearts go out to the victims and community targeted at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. And our admiration to Ahmed el Ahmed, who saved lives when he wrestled the gun from one of the murderers. We must fight antisemitism everywhere. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

The far right Daily Caller runs article about Pam Bondi's authoritarian memo titled, "Pam Bondi Gives FBI Marching Orders For Tackling Antifa Terrorists," again ignoring that most political violent comes from the far right.
Bloomberg notes that Pam Bondi’s memo “ignored evidence from a study for DOJ, which was deleted from the department’s website in September, showing far-right attacks, such as from white supremacists, outpace all other forms of domestic violence.” news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...
Pam Bondi's authoritarian memo targets groups opposing Trump immigration policies, supporting trans rights as well as "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity...[and] hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
