A planned benefit concert for victims of the Bondi Beach attack was abruptly cancelled after a Greek choir refused to perform alongside Jewish participants.
The event, scheduled for 28 June 2026, was intended to raise funds for victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack in December 2025.
The choir’s committee has denied the accusations and said that the choir members voted against appearing at the event due to time constraints.

Benefit Concert for Bondi Beach Victims Cancelled; Choir Refused to Sing Along With Jews
By David Strom, as published by Hotair on 28 April 2026
Sure, it’s not anti-Semitism. It’s a political statement against Bibi Netanyahu or something.
A benefit concert for the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia has been cancelled because the choir that was scheduled to sing refused to share the stage with a Jewish choir group.
You can’t make this up.
Surprised to find an action like this from the cultural elite? I’m not.
A choral concert fundraiser for the victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack at a Jewish event in Sydney has been cancelled after local Greek singers opposed singing alongside their Jewish counterparts in the planned joint performance.
The two-hour benefit concert, titled Concert for Hope and Unity, was to feature the Australian Hellenic Choir together with the Sydney Jewish Choral Society in Sydney Town Hall on 28 June, The Australian newspaper reported Monday.
However, last Monday, during rehearsals, a vote was taken and over half the Hellenic choir “politically objected” to performing with their Jewish counterparts, according to the report.
The Jewish choir wasn’t even from Israel. Their connection to what is happening in Gaza is solely that they were Jews, and they were invited because the terrorist attack from Islamists was aimed at Jews.
And the Australian Hellenic Choir couldn’t be in the same room with them. Because they were Jews.
In an act of breathtaking cowardice and anti-Semitism, a charity concert meant to support victims of the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack has been completely scrapped, because members of the Australian Hellenic Choir voted against performing alongside Jews.
The “Concert for Hope and Unity” was organised to raise money for families devastated by the December 2025 antisemitic massacre at a Hanukkah event in Bondi. Instead of unity, the Australian Hellenic Choir held a vote and a majority flatly refused to share the stage with the Sydney Jewish Choral Society.
Their reasons? “Political objections” to Jews and pathetic claims of fearing for their own safety.
Let that sink in: A concert honouring victims of a terrorist attack on Jews was derailed by people who didn’t want to stand next to Jews.
The event at Sydney Town Hall has now been fully cancelled. All planned charitable proceeds, meant for grieving families, including those who lost children and a Holocaust survivor, are gone.
This is not “political disagreement.” This is raw, ugly anti-Semitism dressed up as a choir decision. Just months after Jews were slaughtered in cold blood in their own city, some in Sydney’s Greek community decided the appropriate response was to boycott other Jews trying to honour the dead.
In Nigeria, there are slaughters of Christians every day by radical Islamists. A genuine, not fake, genocide is going on. It would never and should never occur to anybody that we should shun all black people because some black people in another continent were committing genocide.
Not only are the accusations against Israel about the war in Gaza based on slander, but even if they were not, the connection between Australian Jews and those actions is tenuous at best. It’s the same impulse that led vile protesters in New York and elsewhere to tear down posters of Israeli hostages, as if they were guilty of something or unworthy of compassion because Hamas kidnapped them.
Will the members of the Hellenic Choir face consequences for their “brave” stand of refusing to be seen with Jews?
Of course not, because their fans agree that Jews are evil.
[Note from The Exposé: The Australian Hellenic Choir has denied accusations of anti-Semitism and said the choir voted not to participate due to prior engagements and time constraints. “Comments published in the initial article in The Australian on 28 April, and then taken up by the international media, were made by an individual [James Tsolakis, Founder and President of the Choir] without authorisation from the Committee and do not reflect the views or values of the Choir or its members,” the Choir’s website states. Also read: ‘Jewish choir offers olive branch to Greek singers after row cancels concert’, The Australian, 29 April 2026. Is Tsolakis a whistle-blower and the Committee is trying to save the Choir’s, or their own, reputation?]

The author should see the excellent video by Polish MP Konrad Berkowicz last week about the suffering Palestinian. children being exposed to skin eating phosphorus bombs by the Israeli soldiers, equating their actions to Hitler’s henchmen, and calling Israel the New Third Reich.
Before criticizing the Greek choir as antisemitic perhaps obe should consider the plain facts:
Over 60,000 Palestinians mostly women and children killed in Gaza.
A UN declared famine in Gaza
Prevention of aid workers bringing food and water and medicine to the suffering Palestinians.
Netanyahu is a declared war criminal by the International Criminal Court
Majority of non- Israel controlled countries agreeing of a Genocide in Gaza by Israel
Those are simple facts and saying them does not make one antisemitic.
Perhaps the emphasis should not be on a choir who wants to show it’s distaste for Israel’s crimes but on the suffering Palestinians and others in the area.
Israel was s cictim if horrible crimes during WWII by Germany.
Sadly it is now the perpetrator of horrible crimes on Palestinians.
That is a sad fact and reality and calling it out does not make one antisemitic but simply a caring human being – no matter what nationality or race.
Hi Andrzej Caruk, “Palestine” is not a geographical location, it is a political ideology. “Palestinians” therefore do not exist except in the minds of those who follow that ideology. The people you have been misled to believe are “Palestinians” are in fact Gazans, who are predominantly Egyptians, and people in the West Bank who are Jordanians.
Rhoda Wilson, are your children being held captive for you to spout such nonsene?
And your friends the Zionists are not Semites! Neither they are the “chosen ones”. . In view of their crimes they are just satanic criminals that have arrived to the golf, mostly from East Europe, to kill and to rob the people that was/is living there, you can call them Palestinians, Egyptians, Jordanians, Libaneses, Irakiens, Syriens, Iranians… but the name does not mean they can be exterminated, or does it? GOD would NOT chose criminals to be his favourite people!
Hi Inmatxu, do you know God (YHWH) so well that you know His mind, as if you are one and the same? Or perhaps He told you who He has chosen/chooses to enter a covenant (binding agreement) with? Did He tell you that “Zionists” are His favourite people? Did He tell you that “Zionists” are satanic criminals?
If God has spoken to you about such things, and you are relaying them truthfully, then I have to ask: Have you entered into a covenant with God (YHWH) to be His messenger, to speak on His behalf? If so, then it could interpreted that you too are a “Zionist,” which in the context of your comment is code for “Jew.”
Something that perhaps you are missing in your understanding is that Christians are, in effect, what is called Messianic Jews. Since Christ came to Earth for all men, Christians are also God’s “chosen people.” We follow and worship the one true God (YHWH) of the Torah (the Jewish Bible). Where Christians and Jews differ is that Christians recognise and accept the Messiah (Jesus, Yeshua) has already come to Earth, the Jews say that the Messiah (Yeshua) is still to come. So, in short, Christians and Jews use the Old Testament, but Christians also use the New Testament as a guide given to us by God. Why do Christians take both as the word of God? Because Jesus did not come to remove/take away from God’s law of the Old Testament, but to fulfill it.
Will your anti-Jewish rhetoric now extend to include Christians as well? My guess is yes, because lurking behind your nonsensical, indescrimate anti-Zionist/anti-Jew rhetoric is antagonism towards God and God’s will, even if you haven’t realised it yet.
PLEASE THIS 60 THOUSAND FIGURE IS WAY LOWER THAN THE REALITY.
God’s chosen people you should be nice to them, or you can wait for creator God’s punishment which is coming upon the whole world very, very soon. Jacob’s trouble and the great tribulation is up next, and it is a time of judgement, so glad I will be missing it.
The Jewish people WERE God’s chosen people at Jesus Christ’s time but they stubbornly rejected His love, persecuted Him as no other human being ( see Mel Givson’s movie The Passion – with 5475 wounds on His body), and had Him shamefully crucified – commiting Deicide and even yelled to Pilate that His blood be on their children.
Therefore because of the above facts they cannot truthfully be called NOW God’s chosen people. As such they cannot expect God’s protection in this world – since they rejected Him shamefully to their own detriment.
Hi Andrzej Caruk, the movie ‘Passion of the Christ’ is a movie. As with all movies, there are things in it which are not factual, and in this case not Biblical. A plethora of people from directors to producers to actors will put their own spin on the story, especially if there is money to be made. If you want the truth about Jesus Christ’s story, you will find it in the Bible.
The written word of God ie the Bible is only one source of the truth my friend.
I am sure Mr Gibson in filmibg The Passion, which was accepted worldwide like bo other movie beforehand had enough reliable sources in the Church and outside to help make it very credible. Even Pope John Paul II himself, upon seeing the movie was quoted as saying – „ Yes that’s the way it was”.
But additionaly my friend realize that the Bible is not the only source of truth.
The magisterium of the Church ie Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself is another source of the truth.
The Traditions of the Church is another source of the truth.
The Bible itself says that if all the recelations by Christ be written down there would not be enough paper to contain it.
Also, various mystics, stigmatists and other Holy people received more truths as revelations from Christ Himself e. g St Sister Faustyna Kowalska, sometimes called God’s Secretary who gave us Christ’s message of Divine Mercy; and Maria Valtorta, who wrote The Poem of the Man- God, as revealed to her by Christ Himself ; etc. Their writings could also be used as authentuc sources of God’s revealed truths.
So in other words my friend, the Bible is only one important source of divine truth – but not everything.
Likewise the Bible itself
says that the backbone of the truth is the Church – for it was members of the Church who eventually wrote the Bible.
there is the New testament , the Old and the Torah, the Torah says Jesus Christ is boiling in feces in hell and his mother Mary is a whore, this Christians do not believe in, neither do Muslims for they honour Mary and Jesus. in both the Christian and Muslim religions, the facts are as in Mel Gibson, who followed Christian narrative to the T. Where do you get your info from?
Yes, they are God’s chosen people. They always have been, and they always will be.
They were and still are God’s chosen people.
Nope.
Get ready for your 110Th expulsion for being leeches.
We allllllllllll see it.
Genetically, Pals are actually the true Semites with a blood bond to the land…77% of current jews are EUROPEAN, they have NO claim to the land.
AND I DON’T EVEN LIKE MUSLIMS.
It seems you are in need of some basic definitions. Definitions of terms which underpin your comment, but you seem to not have understood and so are misusing them.
Jews are people who follow the religion of Judaism. There are Jews all over the world from many ethnic groups, including black Africans in Ethiopia and South Africa who have been Jews for so long is is not known how it is they became Jews. Jews can in fact be in any ethnic group because, just like Christianity, any one can convert to Judaism if they choose to do so.
Semites are members of various ancient and modern peoples originating in southwestern Asia and the Horn of Africa who speak or spoke languages belonging to the Semitic language family, which includes Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian and Amharic. The term was coined in the 1770s by German scholars to describe this linguistic group, derived from the Biblical figure Shem.
Today, groups who speak these languages (and so are Semites) include Arabs, Jews, Arameans and Mandeans, Ethiopians and Eritreans, and Maltese speakers. The term “Semite” relates to language, a person’s mother tongue irrespective of their nationality, race, ethnic group, religion or where they currently reside.
About 3,400 years ago, God purposefully settled the Hebrews – some of which, i.e. descendants of Jacob (aka Israel), were later called Israelites – in what was known as the Land (Kingdom) of Israel and the Land (Kingdom) of Judah. If you don’t know where the Land of Israel and the Land of Judah was/is, it’s easy to find out.
So you can be a Polish jew and remain in Poland and NOT torture, rape, kill, theive the land of the people who have been living there for thousands of years; the very people who welcomed you in their homes, not just country, you understand theses basics Rhoda Wilson ? Palestine is a country, golda meir and others had a Palestine stamp on their passports upon entry. STOP your bad fait, you remain very isolated amongst the billions who can see evil, and who have a courage or rather the basic decency to name evil when they see it. So do not twist narratives by pointing out to nonsense here and there which will NEVER justify the stealing of land and the ongoing rape, torture and killing of Palestinians by some eastern europeans and other pretending they have a deed from the sky to Palestine. Shame on you!
Over the centuries, different groups attack, conquer, occupy and control the same piece of land. The Palestine area has been occupied by the people we call Palestinians for 700 years. It’s been occupied by Westerners more or less since 1917, but the people who live there and are descended from the ancient group are still known as Palestinians. They have a stronger right to that name than we Americans have to ours. We’ve occupied a small part of the US and spread out across a large part of our continent for only 400 years. Is it wrong to call you British after you’ve occupied your lands for 1,600 years?
Jews consider themselves a bloodline, even though they accept converts. The convert is adopted into a Jewish family, learns Jewish history etc, and is spiritually reborn through special ceremonies, thus becoming a member of the bloodline. This process was invented before anyone knew about DNA and is still believed in, despite modern science, because it’s an ancient tradition and because it enables the growth of Judaism.
Hi Worrywort, it was called Palestine by the Romans (during the Roman Empire era) because, as far as the Romans were concerned it was the land of the Philistines, and so they were paying homage to the Philistines.
The Philistines no longer exist, and haven’t done so for thousands of years, from before the Roman Empire era began. Do you know who the Philistines were? If you do, then you’ll understand why the Roman Empire chose the name “Palestine” when they expanded their empire into Israel.
Under the British Mandate, the Roman Empire name “Palestine” was resurrected. And now, the indications are they want to reinstate the name “Palestine” again but this time under oligarch (one world government) control. To ease the way for the oligarchs to take over, they need to convince the world that the name of the land of the Israelites is “Palestine.” These oligarchs descend from Roman emperors and doges. Does it now make sense why the name “Palestine” is a political ideology and why it is being resurrected, yet again?
PsyOps involve using words, images etc repeated often enough until a narrative is believed to be true, whether it is true or not, whether it is factual or not is irrelevant – the narrative is simply to create a belief that is strong enough to override all facts and logical thinking to push an agenda forward. Calling Israel “Palestine” is part of such a PsyOp.
“Palestine” is not a geographical area, it is a political ideology. “Palestinians” or “Philistines” do not exist. Neither Israel, Gaza nor the West Bank are the “land of the Philistines.” Gaza is part of Egypt and mainly consists of Egyptians, although a lot of e.g. Lebanese have moved in there and there has been a lot of intermarrying. Israel is the homeland of the Jews, from many ethnic groups, but many e.g Muslims also live there (about 20% of the Israeli population are Muslims). The West Bank has been occupied by, in the main, by Jordanians. None of these people are Philistines.
Unfortunately not all of us do see it.
Thank you, even though I do not see why you would not like Muslims. Thugs and bastards exist everywhere; they just need to have the punishment befittign their crimes etc . Muslims revere Jesus and honour Mary. A bunch of them are backward, but at least there is nothing in their holy books that says you can trick a goy, it is ok to have sex with a three year old child etc. There are no such horrors in Islam , as ‘kill the goyim child if it has caused a jew to rape it’!!! Just go check the horrors in the Talmud and you will end up at least tolerating Muslims, 80+ years of anti-Muslim propaganda is what makes you not like Muslims.
Well, you are welcome to believe what you want, whether it be wrong or right. As for me I will stick with our creator God’s teachings and not his creation humans.
You are so deceived and blind to the truth. Oh well your choice. You really need to clean up your speech, you sound like a Muslim, well, maybe you are.
Absolute shocker – oh for a group to be so perfectly righteous and judgmental!
Hi Stu,
It was a False Flag on the beach, they were all actors.
Yes Dave you are correct. It was a false flag – to bring into effect the new ‘Anti-Semitism’ laws, ‘Hate Speech’ laws, online ‘Age Verification’ laws, impending Digital ID, blah blah blah here in Australia.
Same old playbook. Same perpetrators. So predictable for those with the ‘eyes to see’ and the ‘ears to hear.’
WE KNOW who is behind it all.
yes, remember the jewish guy with a bandaged head and bloody face ? Which nurse or even idiot woudl bandage without a basic cleaning? These eeews are stupid and think Christians are stupider.
Hardly anybody here gets it!
Hosea 4:6…God our Father said “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…because you have rejected knowledge (forgotten and rejected God and His law), I will also reject you.”
God has prevented many from having the ‘eyes to see’ and the ‘ears to hear’ so that they fail to understand the truth of what is really going on in the world and in this spiritual battle.
It’s like talking to a brick wall, trying to get these people to understand. They have no understanding, nor any discernment and they will continue to be deceived.
Seek God with all of your heart and all of your mind and pray that He reveals the truth to you. Time is short.
The claim that the Jews are the chosen people is completely false and typical Jewish bullshit.
Hi Stuart James, do you understand what the term “God’s chosen people” means? Do you know why God selected the descendants of Moses, Abraham and Israel (Jacob) to be His “chosen people”? Do you understand what God chose them to do, what the covenant between God and His “chosen people” is, or what it entails?
I’m thinking not because your comment comes across as anger stemming from jealousy. If you understood what God’s covenant (binding agreement) was, you wouldn’t be jealous of those whom God chooses to enter into that covenant with – instead, you would feel relieved.
Even if you are not aware of God’s covenant with the Israelites, think about this: When last did you enter into a binding agreement where you did not have to give, sacrifice or forfeit something in return for something else? Being God’s “chosen people” does not mean that God favours them over others nor equate to a life flowing with milk and honey, it means He scrutinises them more to ensure they are abiding by the agreement they are bound to. If the Israelites don’t stick to the agreement with God then the penalty clauses come into effect. Would you want to be living in fear of provoking God’s wrath onto yourself for disobedience to Him?
Jews, like any one else that has ever lived on Earth (including ourselves), can receive mercy/forgiveness for our disobedience to God (aka sin) by accepting that the Messiah (who is Yeshua or Jesus) has already come to Earth (for the first time), just as God promised His “chosen people” centuries before. If we accept Jesus as our personal saviour, we are not judged under God’s law but rather we are saved through faith because God sacrificed His Son, Jesus Christ, for our sakes/sins. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16 (KJV)
A Jew by definition is born from adultery. That means all Jews are precluded from the blood line of Israel.
it’s really that simple.
A complete no brainier really.
Where are you getting your definition from?
As has been the case throughout history, Jews are from many ethnic groups.
Foreigners (or sojourners) have always lived among the Israelites, and, just as is the case today, non-Israelites converted/convert to Judaism if they chose/choose to do so. This, together with intermarrying between ethnic groups, is how you get European, African, Russian, Ukrainian etc Jews. Not all Jews are Israelites (or Hebrews), and not all Israelites (or Hebrews) are Jews.
Simply put, Jews are people from many ethnic groups from across the world who follow the religion of Judaism. Just as Christians are people from many ethnic groups from across the world who follow Jesus Christ (aka Christianity). And just as Muslims are people from many ethnic groups from across the world who follow the religion of Islam. Even though it is an Arabic religion, not all Muslims are Arab and not all Arabs are Muslim (although there is a higher proportion of Arabs being Muslim because Islam forces itself onto people rather than respecting personal choices or freedom of religion).
How many Muslims today are not Arabs? Christianity began in Israel and was started, in the main, by Israelites. How many Christians today are not Israelites? It is the same with the Jews – I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of Jews today are not Israelites (or Hebrews), or, over the centuries through intermarrying, have only some Israelite DNA.
It matters not … they even acknowledge by their own hand and words by a Jewish rabbi in the own Almanac that it’s impossible for a Jew to be an Israelite.
Oh, “It matters not”? So when something doesn’t support your racist ideology, in your mind “it matters not”? Do you have a worldview of “never let a fact get in the way of a good story”?

Hi Nicole, the user profile Stuart-James hasn’t been “blocked.”
Regarding the problem you’re experiencing with upvote and down votes. You can only select an upvote on a comment once. If you then want to change it to downvote you can and even switch back again. But you if you’ve selected the upvote you cannot select it again. In other words, you are not able to vote on a comment more than once.
Do you really think it’s a good idea to be reprinting Tweets from MOSSAD? Do you think they are an unbiased source?
The choir said it had a scheduling problem. Why should we believe a newspaper report that says it was really avoiding Jews?
And what’s wrong with avoiding people you don’t want to be among? It’s called “freedom of association” and is part of the US Constitution.
The US has had court cases recently in which the courts said a business has the right to refuse to serve anybody if the service itself would violate the business people’s religious beliefs. If the choir doesn’t want to participate in ceremonies which are contrary to its members’ religious beliefs, why should it have to? Because the Jews like to force non-Jews to do things?
If they want a choir that supports their unChristian beliefs, there are plenty of others to choose from. But they are seizing the opportunity to claim the Greek choir’s refusal is anti-semitism, using it as a propaganda tool for convincing the world to further submit to them.
Where are the memorials for all the Christian churches being burned down around the world? For all the Christians being beaten, shot down and cut up? Where’s the Jewish choir that sings in honor of the Christians in Israel who are being oppressed and driven out?
Jews claim to be God’s favorites and also that everybody else is God’s enemy, so we’d better do whatever they want and let them do whatever they want to us. Wrong on both counts.
Well said!!!
