The government must stop blaming the Bondi Islamic terrorist attack on Australians and instead apologise for importing the crisis, an Anglo-Celtic advocacy group says.
The British Australian Community (BAC) said on Friday the corporate media and minority lobby groups were also responsible for defaming Anglo-Celtic and European Australians by framing the Bondi attack as simply motivated by anti-Semitism.
The group pointed out that the father-and-son terrorists, Sajid and Naveed Akram, were not Australian, either ethnically or culturally, and that the violent anti-Semitism of some in the Muslim community had been forced on the Australian people via decades of undemocratic and indiscriminate mass immigration.
BAC president Harry Richardson referenced comments by former prime minister John Howard that moves to tighten gun laws risked being a “diversion” to countering anti-Semitism, and said if the attack was indeed motivated by anti-Semitism, then it was clearly imported from the Islamic world.

“Attempts to characterise this as symptomatic of rising and deadly anti-Semitism from within the traditional Australian community would be deeply troubling,” he said.
“The terrorists responsible were not Australians in any general sense of the term … the father was from India and it would seem that despite being born here, his son grew up steeped in an ideology which is entirely alien to the Anglo-Celtic worldview.
“As an ethnic lobby representing Anglo-Celtic and European descended Australians, we will not stand by and accept this defamation of our people.”
Mr Richardson also criticised the government’s eagerness to tighten “hate speech” and gun legislation in response to the Bondi tragedy, saying they should instead apologise for the “two-tiered and inconsistent enforcement” of existing laws.
“Those who have forced these reckless policies onto the Australian people are now trying to frame this disaster as if it emanated from the traditional Anglo-Celtic nation itself,” Mr Richardson said.
“Even worse, they muzzled opposition by taking away our ancient rights to free speech and free expression, yet now claim the solution is to strip away free speech even further.
“We urge every right-minded Australian to reject this framing and demand an apology from the politicians and lobbies which recklessly imposed indiscriminate immigration on a safe and homogenous nation. Otherwise your silence will be taken as consent.”
Mr Richardson also described tensions between Muslims and Jews as an antipathy dating back to the time of the prophet Mohammed which were now being exacerbated enormously by current events in the Middle East.
“To portray this wave of violent anti-Semitism as somehow coming from traditional Australians is disingenuous at best and a gross ethnic libel at worst,” he said.
The BAC’s comments came as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Chris Minns both moved to strengthen gun legislation and bring in new “hate speech” laws on top of recently passed existing legislation brought in as a result of lobbying from the Jewish community since October 7, 2023.
