...No racial vilification law will save Jews from the inevitable revenge of the Arabs, wherever they may hide! Sorry about that!

<<...No racial vilification law will save Jews from the inevitable revenge of the Arabs, wherever they may hide!>>


LOL. There were anti-Jewish passages in Islamic texts from day-one.
And one of Islams first acts was to ethnically cleanse the Saudi peninsula of Jews.

This part of Dan's comment is particularly apt <<wherever they may hide!>>, in view of the below:

PA Mufti Muhammad Hussein: “Palestine in its entirety is a revolution… continuing today, and until the End of Days. The reliable Hadith… says:
"The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews. The Jew will hide behind stones or trees. Then the stones or trees will call: 'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'”
[PA TV (Fatah), Jan. 9, 2012

Neither will they stop these sort of incidents. School boys couldn't give a stuff about them. "

Yes; and lets deport/exile those that want something different.
And while we still need to also protect free speech, or a right to offend; a bill of irrevocable rights would confer just that; and indeed, what virtually every Australian Politician seems will ready and able to resist, almost as if it were poison!
Just what is the problem?
Perhaps it's the thing every control freak fears above all else?
Loss of complete control, or an ability (or whim and caprice) to rob us of our rights removed from them?
If there's another more cogent credible reason?
I for one would like to know, just what it is?
If I were to say the only hell that exists are those we create ourselves, and given that were true?
Just what would they look like?
Well, how about the Middle East/Gaza/Syria/Iraq/Iran? The burial ground of freedom and or, basic humanity!

VK3AUU,
If only Australian Labor supporters & Lefties in general would take note of that.
Conservatives too need to take heed & should not let themselves get panicked into pleasing greedy morons.

What is more damaging to children – being abused on the school bus or being used by their parents as pawns in their own personal agenda?

I wonder exactly what Jewish parents said to their kids? Would the incident have been put in some kind of wider social context about how kids who are insecure often bully smaller kids and that they often use some kind of difference like religion as a weapon. Young kids do not have the intellect to understand why simply being Jewish makes you vulnerable. Adults do not even have a plausible reason why Jews living in Sydney in 2014 are automatically victims. They point to the holocaust as if to say ‘that’s what I’m talking about’ but this is not Nazi Germany in the 1930’s. These kids are always on the lookout for another holocaust and it makes them very frightened even before they start school. Such defensiveness makes them an easy target for a bully. When kids are not given a reason for the danger they end up with an irrational fear of certain situations. When they see armoured guards outside their school they know there is something to be feared outside their school grounds.

If racial or religious abuse is not put into a proper context then one can only presume that the parents are trying to instil in their children a sense of unreal fear. They want their children to act according to fear and not reason. That fear stays with these kids and they grow up to be the paranoid adults who want to control every corner of society and stop people from even looking sideways at Jews. The police called this an isolated incident but some Jewish parents do not want it to be an isolated incident – they want to use it to scare their children into maintaining the irrational wall they build around themselves. The bullies were not Hamas launching rockets – they were just a bunch of school kids trying to make themselves feel a little better by threatening other school kids.
