In the wake of the devastating terror attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach, readers are sounding a stark alarm for Canada, warning that the nation's turn in what they term the "terrorist lottery" is imminent. The chilling prediction follows the December 17, 2025, massacre where an Islamist father-and-son duo killed 15 Jewish citizens during Hanukkah celebrations.
Blood on Their Hands: A Failure to Protect
Correspondents lay blame directly at the feet of political leadership. They argue that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government have "blood on their hands" for failing to act on clear warning signs. The attacker, an Islamist man who had lived in Australia for years, was legally in possession of six firearms. His Australian-born son had previously drawn the attention of domestic intelligence agencies, yet concerns were dismissed.
This tragedy, readers contend, is the direct result of two years of passively hosting virulent antisemitism. Pro-Palestinian and Hamas marches in Australia, Canada, and other Western nations have often featured calls for Israel's eradication, coupled with intimidation and violence against Jewish communities. Despite hate laws being on the books, readers assert that blatant acts of hatred have been overwhelmingly and shamefully ignored, normalizing a dangerous environment.
A Shared Policy of Appeasement
The criticism extends across the Pacific to Canada. Readers draw a direct parallel between PM Albanese and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, noting both leaders have declared support for a Palestinian state. This stance, they argue, is taken despite the lack of a coherent governing structure in Gaza and the West Bank beyond the Hamas terrorists responsible for the October 7, 2023, atrocities.
"Acts of unspeakable barbarity against 1,200 innocent Israelis, 200-plus hostages taken on October 7, 2023? Obviously not an issue for Carney and Albanese," one letter states. This perceived policy of appeasement, readers warn, has created a terrible and unacknowledged reality where Jewish citizens are left unprotected against growing hatred.
Canada's Inevitable 'Turn'
The core warning is unambiguous: Canada's "turn" in the terrorist lottery is coming. The specific location and timing remain unknown, but readers state it is guaranteed that individuals within Canada are plotting a dramatic ideological "statement." They predict that when an attack occurs on Canadian soil, the response will follow a familiar, ineffective script: statements of shock and outrage from leaders, followed by "thoughts and prayers," then calls for restraint, unity, and inevitably, tighter gun controls.
The letters conclude with a historical admonition: "Appeasement never works. Did we not learn that after two world wars?" They insist the forces of evil, in whatever guise they appear, must be confronted and fought, not tacitly tolerated through inaction and political pandering. The Bondi Beach massacre serves as a grim harbinger, a preventable tragedy that readers fear will soon have a Canadian counterpart.
