Support a Royal Commission To Expose Radical Islam’s Role in the Bondi Massacre
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

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.

Yeah nice try,
No, Albo called the Royal Commission because he realised that the majority of Australians wanted it.
Whatever little letter with 361 names on it had nothing to do with it.
Sorry, but no, you’re trying to claim credit for Albo’s backflip is just rubbish.
Maxine. Stop treating us Christians like we are dumb.
I’m sorry I signed this call now. Not because I want the government to get away with it’s failures but there’s risks and dangers of a Commonwealth Royal Commission in the hands of a bad government. There are wrong motives behind it, I believe. One of the results could be that we end up with more restrictions on free speech . . .
There’s a good article about this in the Spectator Australia
Unfiltered: Albanese gives up and calls for a Royal Commission
from Alexandra Marshall
Thursday, 8 January 2026
I’m with you Judith. Albo’s Royal Comission has all the hallmarks of a commission who’s specific aim is to cover up anything that is remotely like the truth from coming out.
I am of the view that there would be no honesty, procedural fairness, and proper administration of justice in this investigation. The appointed head of the Commonwealth Royal Commission is a supporter of Albanese and Labor. It is procedural unfairness for Albanese to appoint head of the Commission who is a Labor supporter to do an investigation. There is apprehended bias. Also, it is obstructing the course of justice or administration of justice to influence, interfere, dictate, compel, hinder, prevent, pervert, disrupt investigations, discovery of evidence, witnesses’ testimonies, and issues to be examined by the Commissions. I am of the view that the investigation and results would be ‘cooked’.
I am of the view that there is a catch why Albanese suddenly became decided and very eager to have a Commonwealth Royal Commission to be headed by his supporter, who supports his policies on free speech restrictions, immigration influx, hate speech laws, etc.
Albanese buckled under pressure and had nowhere to go. If he didn’t call one he was guaranteed to sink and he knew it. He follows public opinion polls and is why he’s late to respond to so many issues, he waits to see results then comments.
Mr Fairweather, go with the flow. This was different though, if he calls one then his own antisemitic ideals like attending anti Israel rallies and wearing a symbol of hate (his antisemitic tshirt) paints a dark picture of whom he really is and that’s why he resisted for so long. But he ran out of road this time and had no choice. So in a pathetic attempt to save face he now calls one and makes out the reason for the delay was to get it right then with a big fake smile and part giggle says how fast he has implemented it as if it was always going to happen and he listens to the people. We all know he was resisting the people and calls for one so what an insult to the intelligence his speach he gave was when announcing it! Not an honest bone in his body. I called him out as a wolf in sheeps clothing and antisemitic here months ago, he’s proven both things correct beyond a shadow of doubt.
The problem though with this is how much behind the scenes influence and control will he and his minions exert upon this Royal Commission? The last thing he will want to see is that the allowance of anti Israel protests to go on week after week contributed to the rise of antisemitism here when he himself has been involved in them over the years. Can you imagine the political ammo that will give others against him. Its bad enough he was in them and people are starting to see it but I don’t doubt he’s squirming over that if that was to become one of the findings, which it 100% should. Basically he contributed himself to this countries antisemitism rise. He’s a disgrace to Australia.
There will be no honesty in this Royal Commission run by a woman friend of Albanese ( just like female Governor-General Mostyn !) who supports the same Leftist views. It will gather the names of people like me who support Anti-semitism and are Australian patriots (all labelled “Far Right Extremists ! ) in order to spy on and prosecute any “Islamophobics “. I pray God answers our prayers , that the regime of “The Supreme Leader ” of Iran is replaced by a secular, democratically-elected govt. because it is that evil regime which has been funding for years Terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, etc, and funding the propaganda coming from the Legacy Media and in universities in the UK, Canada, Australia, USA, etc- to kill all Jews, destroy the West and replace it with the Worldwide Caliphate and Sharia Law. Right now Iranian govt. buildings have been burnt and mosques destroyed while foreign mercenaries and the army shoots its own unarmed Protestors and takes 1, 000s captive to be hung–defiant, the brave, unarmed people across the WHOLE of Iran march against “The Religion of Peace ” ! When the Ayatollah falls , Iran’s funding to Terrorist groups in Australia and elsewhere will dry up and we will see the end of ” The World Intifada” . No more large picture of the Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah, proudly carried across Sydney Harbour Bridge ! What will happen in Australia then ? Will we be with UK and Canada one of the last bastions of Islamic Terrorists ? Phones, Internet connections all over Iran have been cut in the hope that the World won’t see the Islamists shooting ordinary freedom -loving Iranians , but, Musk’s “Starlink ” is letting the World know , as are Tousi on You Tube , and J-TV. Prince Reza Pahlavi and J.K. Rowling are supporting the Iranian Revolutionaries. The old royalist flag has replaced the hated Islamic and a new anthem is being sung. Once Iran is secular all religions will be free to preach and worship. The Bible will be freely available, no more death for reading or owning one. There are many secret Christians in Iran. Lord Jesus help us, the Jews and the Iranians ! May your kingdom come!
I am concerned about one of the statements that will be looked into by the Royal Commission- that of “religiously motivated extremism” Will Christianity be dragged into this? Australia is already on the list of “concern re freedom of religions” brought about by albos activities in the last couple of years .
On another note , I have a definition of “social cohesion”….. “red tape; it ties you up even more….
Yes! I’m afraid that I agree with those who are questioning the value of Albanese’s Royal Commission! We have to wonder if the truth, and the whole truth will be revealed! It needs to be conducted by a person or persons who are insulated from any Government influence! We need to get down to the “nitty gritty” of this undercurrent of hatred in our country!
The reality lies behind the character of the one who called this RC. He is a compulsory liar either by telling outright lies or by concealing the truth. In a speech he made prior to his first election win he nominated his three main priorities he held dear through his life, his mother, the union movement and his Catholic faith. Days later when sworn in he refused the Bible (and again upon his re election). During that campaign he lied from the very first day. He has lied and has trained up his team namely Bourke and Wong to perform in the same way and in doing so has destroyed our freedoms and concealed the Islamic threat. The worrying thing is who is going to replace him when he’s booted out ?
