(JEWISH GROUP) Bondi gunmen condemned 'Zionist' actions prior to attack and threw bombs that failed to detonate, police

Bondi gunmen condemned ‘Zionist’ actions prior to attack and threw bombs that failed to detonate, police say

The two gunmen who opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australia last week, killing 15, recorded a manifesto video prior to the attack in which they condemned the acts of “Zionists.”

The description of the video, which was included in newly released documents from the Local Court of New South Wales on Monday, comes as one of the attackers, Naveed Akram, 24, currently faces 59 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one count of terror. His father, Sajid Akram, 50, was killed on the scene of the attack.

In the video, which was filmed in October and found on Naveed Akram’s cellphone, the pair sit in front of an Islamic State flag and four long-armed firearms and appear to recite a passage from the Quran. Later, the pair explain their motivation for the attack on Bondi beach, and condemn the acts of “Zionists,” according to the court documents.

“Police allege that the Accused and his father, S. Akram, adhere to a religiously motivated extremist ideology linked to the Islamic State,” the court documents read. “This is demonstrated by their videoed speech and use of Islamic State flags during the attack.”

During the attack, the pair also threw three pipe bombs and a “tennis ball bomb” that failed to detonate, according to the court documents. Another explosive device was also found on the trunk of their car.

And there you have it! Of course, predictably, people are complaining about Jews being upset, hurt, and angry about Bondi Beach, basically implying they (Aussie Jews) are whining about the massacre, but where are their (Aussie Jews') "complaints" about Gaza. Jews are gunned down for being Jews, but hey...ISRAEL!

Anti-Semitism is all in OUR heads.
