Summary:
New South Wales (NSW), Australia, is proposing a ban on chants of "globalize the intifada," which are viewed as antisemitic and inciting violence, following a deadly ISIS-inspired mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach that killed at least 15 people. NSW Premier Chris Minns announced that police would gain authority to require protesters to remove face coverings during demonstrations and that public display of ISIS flags or extremist symbols would also be prohibited, with violations punishable by up to two years in prison and fines. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed intelligence indicating the attack was ISIS-inspired and announced a gun buyback plan alongside a day of reflection. The proposed measures coincide with efforts to address rising antisemitism in Australia and expand hate speech definitions.

Scripture: Psalm 94:21-23
"They band themselves together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death. But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. And He has brought back their wickedness upon them, and will destroy them in their evil; the LORD our God will destroy them."
Commentary:
Violent attacks targeting Jews, like the massacre in Bondi Beach, are a brutal reminder that hostility against God’s people still erupts even in distant places. Sometimes things feel less safe than we expect in our own communities. Authorities react strongly to this kind of threat, but tension grows as societies balance security and liberty. Biblically, these outbreaks of antisemitism echo the prophetic pattern of increased hostility against Jews as the age advances. The attempt to suppress hatred points to deep spiritual troubles that go beyond laws or policies.
Prophetic Trend:
Rising global hostility toward Jews demonstrates an intensifying prophetic atmosphere of opposition and unrest that Scripture associates with the end of the age.
