A terror attack carried out by two gunmen targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia left at least 11 dead and 29 injured.

Chabad emissary Rabbi Eli Schlanger, killed in Sunday’s terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, had warned months earlier that the government must not betray the Jewish people. Schlanger, who was the organizer of the “Chanukah by The Sea” event, was among the twelve killed. Another 29 were rushed to the hospital after the attack—where at least 1,000 others were in attendance. According to Israel’s Channel 12, Schlanger directly addressed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese—who has frequently criticized Israel—in a letter urging him not to betray the Jewish people. “As a rabbi in Sydney, I beg you not to betray the Jewish people and not God Himself,” Schlanger wrote. “Jews have been torn from their land again and again by leaders who are now remembered with contempt in the pages of history.” Schlanger added that Israel is the land “given by G-d to Abraham, then to his son Isaac, and then to Jacob, to be the eternal homeland of the Jewish people.” The letter came after Australia recognized a Palestinian state and the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize Palestinian statehood. “You have an opportunity to stand on the side of truth and justice. By rescinding this act of betrayal, you will not only honor the Jewish people and our heritage but also align yourself with the word of God,” he added. “Should you choose this path, you will be welcomed home with open arms and even a warm Shabbat meal. I congratulate you in advance for the courage to do what is right and to stand firmly against this act of heresy.” Schlanger’s last post on X, from last Chanukah, said the “best response to combat antisemitism” is to display more menorahs, including electric ones on top of cars.

It is mostly quiet here.” He added that he had “never personally been the target of antisemitism” and encouraged people to “be more Jewish, act more Jewish and appear more Jewish.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Albanese of betraying Israel and abandoning Australia’s Jewish community after Australia recognized a Palestinian state and barred members of Netanyahu’s coalition from entering the country in August. Netanyahu said history would remember Albanese as a “weak politician.” Antisemitism in Australia has surged following the October 7 massacre in Israel, which left more than 1,000 people dead, including just days after when about 1,000 anti-Israel protesters in Sydney chanted antisemitic slogans, including “gas the Jews.” Earlier this month, at the J7 Task Force Summit in Sydney, the Anti-Defamation League reported that antisemitic incidents across Australia have surged to nearly five times their pre-October 7 levels. The report documented 1,654 incidents over the past year, including arson attacks targeting synagogues, preschools, and other Jewish institutions.

Sade built a global career on a voice that could sound intimate and distant at the same time, but her story begins with a childhood split between continents. Helen Folasade Adu was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, in 1959 to a Nigerian father and an English mother, and she moved to England as a young child after her parents separated. She grew up near Colchester in Essex and later studied fashion design at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London, working as a fashion designer and part-time model before music became her primary focus.

Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization. Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans. Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could possibly offer any constructive advice, much less help a more civilized Europe follow the “American model.” Americans, in turn, are worried that Europe is not just stagnating but is on a trajectory of permanent decline—with dire consequences for the entire Western world. As for symptoms, the U.S. cites a steadily declining European share of world GDP. It points to Europe‘s unsustainable 1.39 fertility rate, which ensures a steadily smaller, older and costlier native population. More than 10% of Europe’s resident population is now foreign-born—some 45 million people. However, the European host, unlike a classless America, does not have a long tradition of melting-pot assimilation, integration and acculturation. Unlike America’s mostly Christian-nation immigration patterns, European immigrants are predominantly from the Middle East and North Africa, Islamic and increasingly anti-Western. Many of Europe’s immigrants profess too little desire to assimilate into what they consider a culturally decadent place—one that, ironically, they have no desire to leave. The Christian Church, the linchpin of Western civilization, was born in Europe. Yet, nowhere does atheism, agnosticism and open hostility to Christendom grow stronger. Europe, the birthplace of a dynamic Western military tradition, has been, by contemporary standards and at least until recently, virtually disarmed and unable to protect its own borders or interests. Europe’s overregulation and war on fossil fuels, combined with a generous social welfare state, have resulted in too little revenue and too many costly dependents. Americans dare to lecture Europe because the same Western pathologies—open borders, unassimilated immigrants, tribalism, declining fertility, green fanaticism, unsustainable budget deficits, and massive national debt—are likewise beginning to threaten America. But unlike Europe, millions of Americans at the eleventh hour are galvanizing to stop their own insidious downward spiral. So Americans claim to know firsthand the causes for these shared, but even more distressing, European symptoms of decay. And their answers are the threats of several dangerous ideologies. One pathology is green fanaticism, which has led Europeans to not only ignore their fossil fuel resources but also to dismantle existing coal, nuclear, and natural gas plants. That suicidal folly ensured that transportation fuels and electrical power became so exorbitant that once sought-after European exports are now uncompetitive, while Europe’s strapped middle classes slip into poverty. Meanwhile, China funds green causes in the West, exports below-cost cheap wind and solar systems, and then builds three coal or nuclear plants a month to ensure that it has much cheaper energy than the green West. Other existential threats are diversity, equity, inclusion, or DEI, mandates—a precivilizational emphasis on tribal affinities of race and religion rather than shared national values and unity. The results are legions of drone DEI commissars who sow disunity, spike racial tensions, wage war on meritocracy and increase overhead. America further warns Europe that only cutbacks in unsustainable entitlements can allow it to reboot its militaries enough to prevent Russian bullying and threats of attack, protect supply lines of imported fuels and natural resources, and deter terrorists. And what happens if a petulant and snarky Europe utterly rejects the American diagnosis, therapy and prognosis? America will decide that it can no longer afford, as NATO’s leader, to protect European borders when it struggles at home to ensure its own. Nor can the U.S. understand an increasingly two-faced Europe. One of its faces is the self-righteous 27-member European Union that is becoming increasingly anti-American. The EU attacks the U.S. nonstop on matters of culture, energy, trade, censorship, and foreign policy. Yet nearly the same nations of a 32-member NATO alliance—Europe’s other face—praise America for its military leadership and call for closer U.S.-European strategic relations. This one-eyed Jack policy of censoring and fining American companies, blasting American allies at the United Nations and belittling conservative, Christian, and traditional American culture, while praising the U.S. military and courting its armed assistance, is simply not sustainable. Is there a solution? Perhaps, given that both civilizations are offering diametrically opposed correctives to their shared morbidities. Europe is only growing more socialist, censorious, globalist, pacifist, multicultural, atheistic, and green. In contrast, the U.S. is undergoing a counter-revolution toward smaller government, fewer regulations, more fossil fuels, an expanding military, less DEI and woke, more secure borders, legal-only immigration, and renewed faith. Only one of these competing solutions will solve the shared crisis of Western civilization. And let us hope the one remedy that works will be fully adopted by both.
