Bondi Beach suspects filmed antisemitic video manifesto, Australian investigators say

Australian authorities say the suspects in the Bondi Beach shooting filmed a video manifesto that was littered with antisemitism and Islamic State leanings.

Investigators say that the father-son pair accused of carrying out the attack, 50-year-old Sajid Akram and 24-year-old Naveed Akram, may have been planning it for several months. Only the son survived the attack, and he now faces charges of murder and terrorism.

Police referenced a video found on the son's phone that displayed the pair's "political and religious views and appear to summarise their justification for the Bondi terrorist attack."

The men are seen in the video "condemning the acts of Zionists" while they also "adhere to a religiously motivated ideology linked to Islamic State," police said.

"There is evidence that the Accused and his father meticulously planned this terrorist attack for many months," police allege.

Some of the footage, shot in October, shows the pair firing shotguns in the woods and "moving in a tactical manner."

The two hurled four improvised explosive devices toward a crowd but the devices failed to detonate, authorities said.

The attack has placed heightened scrutiny on rising antisemitism in Australia and what Jewish leaders say was the government's refusal to act against it.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony AlbaneseAnthony Albanese was met with boos while attending a vigil honoring the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting on Sunday.

An estimated 10,000 mourners, including Albanese and various Australian politicians and members of the Jewish community, gathered on Bondi Beach to commemorate the victims. David Ossip, who serves as president of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies, remarked on Albanese's presence to the crowd and received a chorus of boos.

Meanwhile, the crowd cheered at the mention of opposition leader Sussan Ley. Ley has said that a coalition government under her leadership would reverse a decision by Albanese's government to recognize a Palestinian state.

The Dec. 14 attack left 15 people dead and dozens more hospitalized. The father was killed in the attack, while the son was critically injured. He woke from a coma last week and is now facing charges.

"Hey @DisneyCruise.. love your cruises! Except for the part that there are man dressed as woman," he wrote on X. "Thought you already got over it."

The three-time Gold Glove outfielder didn’t specify what occurred on the cruise he was on. But he did push back on those who were accusing him of spreading hate on social media.

"It wasn't hatred or a personal attack. It was an opinion based on my convictions. I believe in respecting everyone, but also in calling things by their name without mockery or contempt. Living in peace doesn't mean silencing one's conscience," he wrote in response to one critic.

"Then where is my hate?" he told another X user. "All i am saying is having my kid enter a place where a 6ft tall guy is dressed as a woman and acting like one would traumatize my kid on a family cruise. I don’t think it’s hate i just don’t want to normalize that behavior."

Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for a comment.

He received some support from Payton McNabb, a former volleyball player who has been a part of the Save Women’s Sports movement to prohibit trans inclusion in women’s and girls’ sports.

Inciarte played nine years in the majors from 2014 to 2022.

He played six years for the Atlanta Braves, two for the Arizona Diamondbacks and one for the New York Mets. The Venezuelan native was an All-Star in 2017 when he batted .304 with 201 hits, 27 doubles and 11 homers.
