Ed Morrissey: This Is What "Globalize the Intifada" Means

Tuesday, December 16, 2025

When pro-Palestinian activists chant “globalize the intifada,” Bondi Beach is what they want. A father-son Islamist terror team has massacred 15 Australian Jews celebrating Hannukah.

Australia’s Prime Minister went on television to address his nation about the lessons of this terrorist attack. He promised to increase gun restrictions in a country that had already effectively disarmed its population. Anthony Albanese also declared that the biggest threat to Australians is “right wing extremism.”

This is utter nonsense. The terrorists had a license to own and carry the weapons they used to slaughter Jews on the beach. At least one of them had come to the attention of Australian counter-terrorism agents for contact with radical Islamist terrorists. The Australians not only chose to do nothing about that, they refused to disarm them.

The greatest threat to Western security is not “right wing extremism.” It is radical Islamist terrorism and the globalized intifada.
