Democrat Candidate for House in Pennsylvania Pushed Theory That Bondi Beach Massacre Was Executed by Zionists

The antisemitism we see unleashed in Europe is on the move here as well. Chris Rabb is a 5-term state representative from northwest Philadelphia. He’s now running for Pennsylvania’s 3^rdcongressional district (Rabb). Jewish Insider: Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb — a Democrat seeking the House seat of retiring Rep. Dwight Evans (D-PA) — shared an Instagram post blaming the massacre of Jewish Australians at a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on “Zionists,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. In the aftermath of the attack, in which 14 were killed and 40 injured, Rabb’s account shared disinformation insinuating the slaughter was a false flag perpetrated by Israeli interests. “We all know the gunmen were likely Zionists themselves,” read the post, which used an emoji in the place of the word “gun.” Shortly after the attack, the alleged assailants were identified as a father and son whom authorities linked to an offshoot of the Islamic State. Rabb’s post further lamented that Ahmed al-Ahmed, a Muslim Syrian immigrant who intervened, had not received broader acknowledgment for his “hero” role of disarming one of the attackers (Jewish Insider).
