Pahalgam Attack Ignored, Same Jihad Reaches Australia: Arab Expert Demands Action Against Pakistan

Abu Dhabi: Blood was shed on the sands of Sydney, and that too amidst the splendor of Hanukkah. On Sunday evening, a Jewish celebration was underway on Australia's most famous beach—candles were burning, and families were laughing. Suddenly bullets were fired, and everything was destroyed. 15 people were killed, and dozens were injured. The police declared it a terrorist attack, which was clearly targeting Jews. Is this just a local incident or the new face of the global jihadi network?

How did the attack happen, and how terrible was that scene?

Imagine people dancing and singing on the shining sands of Bondi Beach. Two archers fired arrows—actually bullets—from a footbridge at the northern end. It is clearly visible in the video: firing towards the crowd, people falling while running. One person showed bravery and snatched the gun from the attacker. But it was late. 15 lives were snatched away, including children. Two policemen were among the injured. New South Wales Police said it was the first day of Hanukkah, and the attack was deliberately targeted at Jews. This is the deadliest shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. 

The attackers were father and son; where are their roots?

Police revealed the names—Sajid Akram and his son Navid Akram, of Pakistani origin. Lived in the Bonnyrigg area of ​​Sydney. Naveed is a 24-year-old student from Lahore. One was shot on the spot, the other seriously injured. Sajid's mother cried and said, "My son was good." But investigation revealed suspicion of radicalization. The Pakistani Embassy is silent. 

Why did the UAE expert connect the wire with Pahalgam?

Amjad Taha, a UAE geopolitical expert, was himself on the beach. He shouted on social media, "This is the same Jihadi ideology that was seen in the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir. The world ignored it; now it has reached Australia." Pahalgam—That dreadful attack of April 2025, where 26 tourists were killed, was the hand of Lashkar. Taha said, "Pakistan sent weapons to Sudan; 80 thousand died. Now genocide on Jews."

Why is Pakistan's hand visible, and why is the world silent?

Taha's demand is clear—make Pakistan accountable. Hindustan Times wrote, This is the pattern.: Lukman Khan's plot in Bondi, Pahalgam, Texas. Pak link in everything. Netanyahu blasts Australia: "Why ignore the safety of Jews?" PM Albanese promised to tighten gun laws. Modi condemned in India, alert issued for Jews. Rojana's spokesperson added, "The Red Fort attack is also of the same chain. 

What next? How will these wounds heal on the path to peace?

Bondi is closed; people are offering flowers. Jewish community in shock. “This is an attack on our unity,” Albanese said. But the question remains the same—why did anti-Semitism increase after the Gaza War of 2023? When will Pakistan's jihad export stop? Taha's warning comes to mind: "Ignore hate, and it multiplies." Hopefully, this tragedy will wake up the world. At present, tears are drying on the sands of Bondi, but the memories remain fresh.
