Naveed Akram IDF

According to social media accounts on Reddit and X, Naveed Akram allegedly served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). “Naveed Akram is an IDF soldier that served in Gaza and returned to Australia,” an account called Jvnior said in a post on X. “Today, he lost his mind and killed 12 Jews.”

The Jerusalem Post termed these claims as “conspiracy theories”. The accounts spread the theory that Israel was behind the attack in the Sydney suburb, including claims that the Mossad organized the attack as a geopolitical maneuver, victims were crisis actors, and that one of the shooters was an IDF shooter.

Dozens of accounts claimed that the Mossad orchestrated the shootings to win sympathy from the global community amid Gaza war public diplomacy problems, or in order to mobilize supporters for continued conflict with Iran.

X and Reddit users pointed to investigations into Iranian involvement, following the Islamic Republic’s hand in other incidents in Australia, as proof of an attempt to manufacture consent for a war.

“Bondi was a false flag to kick off another war,” wrote Michael Rivero, whose X account has ten thousand followers. Some commentators claimed that the experience of the attackers with firearms proved that they were actually IDF soldiers ordered to carry out the false flag. Others claimed that one of the alleged terrorists was an IDF soldier who had mental issues because of his service in Gaza.
