PNN – Al Jazeera examined and analyzed the Israeli regime’s response to an armed attack against Jews in Australia and Tel Aviv’s attempt to politically exploit the incident.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Al Jazeera wrote in a report that while Australian authorities described yesterday’s armed attack on a Jewish Hanukkah gathering in Sydney as a crime that requires investigation, Israeli officials were quick to try to link the incident to their long-standing false claims of antisemitism and even to the recognition of the State of Palestine.

Rateb Jneid, president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, believes that the attack should be examined away from political objectives. Any attack on civilians is unacceptable and has been widely condemned within Australia. However, the approach adopted by the Israeli regime’s cabinet in dealing with this incident follows its habitual policy of linking every event to antisemitism.
Mohannad Mustafa, an expert on Israeli affairs, also said that Netanyahu is seeking to politically exploit the attack and is trying to link it to protests against the war on Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians. However, the details of the incident, including the intervention of a Muslim citizen to save lives and disarm one of the attackers, disrupted Netanyahu’s plans. This scene stands in complete contrast to the Israeli regime’s claims and has reduced the intensity of Tel Aviv’s media campaign aimed at portraying a rise in antisemitism around the world. Tel Aviv seeks to label any criticism of its war-driven policies as antisemitism, a tactic that has caused the term to lose its impact among public opinion in Western countries.
Salah al-Din al-Qadri, an expert on Arab and Islamic world affairs, also said that a large segment of public opinion in Europe now distinguishes between Judaism as a divine faith and Zionism as a political project, and that Tel Aviv can no longer portray solidarity with Palestinians as antisemitism. This shift has occurred in the aftermath of the Gaza war and the full-scale genocide of Palestinians by the Israeli regime.
