Support a Royal Commission To Expose Radical Islam’s Role in the Bondi Massacre
Maxine Carlill
International Christian Embassy Jerusalem Australia (ICEJ) initiated an open letter from Christian pastors and leaders to the Australian Government, which was an urgent call for a Commonwealth Royal Commission into antisemitism and the Bondi terrorist attack.
The Prime Minister has now announced that a Commission will be undertaken
The letter went out to the wider Christian community through various platforms, and in just 72 hours, it had an outstanding response from Christian leaders across the nation.
Our first wave garnered the signatures of 361 Christian pastors and leaders and was submitted to the Prime Minister last week just
Your signature needs to be in by tomorrow, Tuesday.
prior to his announcement.
The Jewish community have already been deeply encouraged by the response to this ‘first wave’ letter, and we rejoice that there has been such a wonderful coming together by the Body of the Messiah.
The letter represented Christian church, organisational, business and community leaders who lead diverse denominations and communities across Australia.
Join the Movement
We invite you to read the letter here so you can be part of the second wave of our stand for Jewish Australians and be part of any future actions to ensure a Royal Commission will be conducted in a way that is relevant to the Jewish community and all of Australia. Also, one that will expose the radical, hateful ideology that has found a foothold in our country.
ICEJ felt it was important to add a Christian voice to the many demands already articulated by the victims’ families, eminent legal professionals, Jewish leaders and organisations, security and intelligence officials, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner, Australian business and sporting leaders, multiple online petitions, and a diverse group of past and present political leaders from across the political spectrum.
A Christian voice, while sharing a sense of national duty and national responsibility with all groups, has a particular obligation within our nation. Christians are representatives of the Biblical principles of justice, compassion, and reconciliation. Christian leaders have the moral responsibility of reminding government leaders of the foundations of our nation, and that reminder was included in the letter:
“As you are aware, in the preamble to the Australian Constitution, our forebears declared their commitment to unite ‘humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God.’
This foundational acknowledgment reflects a collective aspiration for a Commonwealth guided by divine wisdom, moral integrity, and the pursuit of truth in the face of adversity. It is in this same spirit that we urge a comprehensive inquiry — not only as a procedural response, but as an act of national humility, seeking God’s guidance to uncover systemic failures, foster genuine healing and cohesion, and finally address this ancient hatred which has taken hold in our nation and echoes the darkest chapters in history.”
The call to our government also acknowledged that, despite the debt we owe the Jewish people, including the very roots of our faith and the moral inheritance of our Judeo-Christian civilisation, much of the Church remained silent in the face of the Holocaust and centuries of active Christian anti-Judaism leading up to it. This silence is one of the reasons for speaking out now. It is essential; history has taught us repeatedly that silence and inaction in the face of rising hatred lead to tragic consequences.
The letter concluded with a plea to the government to implement a Royal Commission because: ‘Doing so will ensure that the lessons from this tragic event contribute to a safer, more unified Australia.’
Christian brothers and sisters, please pray that the implementation of a Royal Commission will indeed lead to a safer and more unified Australia, and be conducted in a way that clarity, truth and justice will prevail.
If you are a pastor, Christian organisation or business leader, please prayerfully consider joining the second wave of support.
In light of the urgency for the Prime Minister’s Office to receive the Open Letter, ICEJ Australia had also informed the Office that a second quota of Christian leaders’ names will be sent to them as further endorsement. This was due to the overwhelming support that flooded our office.
Therefore, we encourage you to be part of the Christian leaders’ voices to stand with our Jewish community, the family and victims of the Bondi Massacre and call for the Royal Commission about to be implemented, to address the root cause of ancient evil ideology, antisemitism, and anti-Zionism in our nation.
