Anti-semitic attack proves need for racial vilification laws : Comments

By Alan Berman and John Anderson, published 14/8/2014

The recent incident on the bus in Bondi Beach in which approximately 30 children aged between five and twelve years old were terrorised with anti-Semitic taunts and physical threats is a timely reminder of the ongoing need for community vigilance.

Loudmouth,

You think Jewish kids are being 'terrorised'. What a good sense of humour you share with the author!

When I think 'terrorised', I think houses being bulldozed with one day's notice, armed soldiers entering your house in the middle of the night, soldiers arresting and taking away 10 year old children, women giving birth waiting at checkpoints, extra judicial imprisonment plus much, much more.

The one thing I don't worry about is Jewish kids in Australia. They are probably the most privileged single group in the whole country.

Dane,

When I started primary school in Bankstown, I was a bit careful near the 'big kids' in Sixth Class. When I started high school in Wagga, I was a bit terrified of the 'big kids' in Year 4 and 5. They were HUGE !

So a bunch of 15- and 16-year old gutless louts standing over 5- and 6-year-olds doesn't strike me as an even contest - but it could stand in for a fair definition of terrorising.

And, for neither group, the little kids or the louts, I don't think what is happening in Gaza - the rockets, the retaliation, the ceasefire, the rockets, the retaliation, the cease-fire, etc. - means much.

But if you want to use it to justify your racism, feel free, OLO is where you can vent. Keep doing it and we'll know more and more what you are really like.

Joe

We already have laws that protect people from threats of violence and public disturbance. We should not make laws that try to condition peoples thoughts but should make laws that ban the propaganda that discourages free thinking.
If a nations people were properly educated and told the truth, bigotry would naturally disappear as we would see how people the world over strive for the same things - peace and prosperity.
To anti-Semites - The jewish people are not the enemy - they are just people like yourselves - its the rich who control the world that are the enemy - sure quiet a few rich maybe Jewish - but its just the same as saying all Muslims are terrorists - The powers that be want us to pick an enemy (as long as its not them)

Joe,
You are the only racist here. You feel it is fine to treat Palestinians as sub human. Palestinians are being blown apart with high explosives then you give stupid analogies about 'big kids'.

The jewish lobby all around the world has pushed voraciously for multiculturism. Apparently our society wasn't good enough and needed to be 'enriched'. Thanks to powerful interest groups like the them it is now enriched. The rest of us have to put up with muslim thugs so why should they be any different? I have absolutely no sympathy for jews whatsoever. What a joke.

Btw. You may have noticed than Im not one of these moral simpletons who think because muslims are completely incompatible with our culture then it is ok to slaughter them or that that makes Israel our friend. There have been great jewish Australians but jews always put Israels interests above Australias. They have been a disaster for world peace and a core cause of animosity between Islam and the West. The are a major contributor to the growth of Islamic extremism.

Dane,

Can you understand that one thing has nothing to do with another, UNLESS you wish to claim that Jewish schoolchildren in Sydney are somehow complicit in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza ?

Perhaps you wish to suggest that Yazidis have only themselves to blame for the massacres and rapes carried out by Islamic State terrorists ?

Do you wish to claim that ? Or continue to defend your position, that " ...... I have absolutely no sympathy for jews whatsoever."
