Tragedy Forces Everyone To Think Carefully On How To Bend The Facts To Support Their False Narrative
SYDNEY, AUS — In the wake of yesterday’s tragic shooting at Bondi Beach that targeted a Hanukkah celebration and left at least 12 dead, Influencers and pundits across the political spectrum paused to reflect deeply on how best to twist the facts of this tragedy into ammunition for their preexisting agendas.
“This is clearly a result of relaxed gun laws in Australia,” said progressive activist Sarah Greenberg, conveniently forgetting Australia’s strict post-Port Arthur gun bans. “Also.. the terrorists were targeting Jews.. but in the end, the hero who stopped the shooter is a muslim.”
“Obviously, this is Islamophobia’s fault,” professor Dr. Elena Ramirez said in a viral thread. “The real victims here are Muslims who will face backlash, even though the attackers targeted Jews explicitly because of rising hate— but let’s not let facts get in the way of solidarity.”
On the other side, a prominent pro-Israel hawk tweeted, “See? This is what happens when you criticize Israel too much—it emboldens antisemites everywhere.” He made no mention of the attack’s direct ties to antisemitic terrorism, focusing instead on blaming campus protesters half a world away.
At publishing time, Laura Loomer has successfully linked the shooting to Qatar.
