As you would expect, constant tv coverage of the incident here. I’ve just got back home and turned on the tv to see a member of the public, with no regard for his own safety, disarm one of the gunmen. That man deserves the highest accolade the Australian government can bestow on him. He really is a hero.
I posted footage of that earlier and then deleted it out of respect. I wasn't sure if it was from this incident as the camera person was speaking French and i couldn't see the car number plates.
Whoever it was deserved a medal the size of a bin lid
 
What is it with the hatred of jews? People just having a celebration and get slaughtered. What have jewish people done to deserve this????
I don’t hate them, I don’t personally know anyone that does.

But I do know a certain religion that hates Jews and also likes killing them.

I fear we are at war. Only one side had realised it as of yet.

Who is we? And who are the two sides you're referring to?

This event occured in Australia where Muslim people outnumber Jewish people nearly 8 to 1. Mass Muslim immigration from Lebanon decades ago has left a significant and indelible influence on mainstream Australian culture.

Dispelling either of those groups as part of the general population to pick sides with either of them as a result of two demented ****s acting like demented ****s feels reactionary in the extreme.

Definately the Lutheran Christian Germans in the 30’s @40’s fit that description - l beleive even the Roman Catholic Pope at the time didn’t exactly raise his voice in condemnation.

You could have asked this question at any point over the last 3000 or so years unfortunately. It’s the worst it’s been in my relatively short lifetime and I think a lot of that has to do with social media and the monetisation of Twitter incentivising people to spread the worst possible nonsense because that’s what generates the most income on there.

But really all it boils down to is not insignificant minority of Muslims hate Jews and of those some hate them enough to do this, Manchester etc. and the foiled plots some of which we don’t know about. When I was growing up the NF types were the ones to be wary of but there was never a serious consideration they’d kill anyone. I feel for young Jewish kids in London and the few other cities they live in who have the choice of hiding any sign of their religion or walking the tightrope not doing so entails for them.

The treatment of the Palestinians by the Iraeli state over the last 80 years has been despicable.
October 7th was beyond despicable.
The attempted genocide of Palestinians by Israel was dreadful.
Bondi beach was dreadful.
I don’t hate anyone, Jews, Muslims or Christians as long as they don’t push their stupid beliefs at me.
Except Netanyahoo is a fascist twat. Him I hate.

Palestinians are unwelcome in all 22 Arab countries. The only country that did invite them in, Jordan ( Jordan is Palestine, Palestine is Jordan). lived to bitterly regret it

The Palestinians fomented upheaval, attempted a coup, and caused mayhem. They were all kicked out or worse. Apart from Yasser Arafat of course, who went to a luxury apartment in Paris

Gaza was given over entirely to the Palestinians over twenty years ago. It had a thriving agricultural sector, created by Israel out of desert. They let it go to ruin, and instead, with Qatar money, spent hundreds of millions building tunnels under Israel and rocket sites aimed at them. It also sits atop a huge aquifer, but has all this time, used water pumped in free from Israel .

Five years ago Hamas alone rejected a deal that everyone calls for now. They got everything. But it meant recognising Israel.

Every Israeli knows the rocket drill. Thousands of rockets have been fired from Gaza and many ( unreported) deaths have followed.

Hamas, dedicated openly to the entire eradication of all Jews, was voted in handsomely on that premise.

Jews have been in that part of the world for millennia, often having been forced out to return later.

Just a bit of context.

I doubt this will change anyone’s opinion of anything but you might find it of interest. Bit of a read by Twitter standards but a good one IMO. There’s so much ridiculous nonsense thrown Israel’s way because it’s the Jewish state and people will eventually believe it. The reply I mean, if you can be arsed clicking through and I wouldn’t blame anyone for not doing so.
