I have said this before I think.
There is/was war in Gaza and surrounds.
There are those who are intensely anti-israel and anti-jewish-persons.
They see no difference if those jewish persons are in another country
They will attack them anywhere.
And a determined aggressor will always find a way.
All we can do is minimise the potential harm.
We cannot stop it altogether.
Have we ever managed to wipe out crime?
A determined aggressor will always find a way.
We appear to be doing our best to keep the peace.
By all means be verbal if the government makes statements which are misleading.
Keep demanding the truth.
Make a concerted effort to follow up on this, and keep following up?
But also do your best to assist government.
If there are better ways of gathering 'intelligence' to avoid harmful incidents, the government needs to hear about them.
So instead of warbling on about government omission all the time, be helpful some of the time.
Stop with constantly carping away, and in the process creating a big negative cloud of doubt and worry.
Be far more positive than negative.
We have a good government. Let's keep it that way.

Ipso Fatso
You have a totally different view from mine if you think we have a GOOD government.
This hopeless leader has been the worst Prime Minister ever in my lifetime.
Australia has never been in such a mess. The Home Affairs Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs have no intention of keeping Australia safe with the way they are allowing all and sundry into this country without even checking them in properly.

What has happened to those 149 illegal immigrant dangerous criminals that Claire O'Neill and Andrew Giles let go free?
Talk about Ministers for Home Affairs and Multicultural Affairs alright.

Think on this truism then:

#…The irony of circumstances holds no mortal catastrophe in respect…#

Albanese is totally under the sway of circumstances; this is a game in Politics, and one which seperate the men from the boys; all very common in war. See how Zelenskyy plays this one with intrigue, especially in his dealings with Trump.

Pretty much, Australians hold their breath for the humbling by circumstances of Albanese, circumstances associated with the Bondi massacre, and those circumstances hold no respect for party at all, neither Jew nor Gentile.

Which way does the ball bounce next?

Hi Mikko2,
The author didn't mention it once in the way he should've,
IF HE WERE TO BE HONEST, but he did in the way he shouldn't have.

* "tossed around the word 'genocide' in relation to Gaza"

The moment someone says that they tell me a lot about how they think.
'Palestine is not a country'
'There are no Palestinians'
'There is no genocide'
[Rolls eyes]

This narrative that seeks to minimize to nothing what's happening there, like...
-it's not even an attempted justification of whats happening,
(like when they repeat October 7! October 7! October 7!)
-it's an attempt to say 'Don't believe your lying eyes AC' with all those heinous atrocities you saw Israel do on all those videos you watched on X.'Palestine's not a country','There are no Palestinians','There's no genocide'. Pffft.

Don't mention the hundreds of thousands of women and kids that were killed, no.
'How dare they just throw the word 'genocide' around willy nilly?' [Authors thoughts]
Yeah mate, I know where you're at.

"What has our government done since then?
Recognised Palestine"
I have no issue with this, if you do, tell me why
"sent taxpayer cash to Gaza"
I'm usually opposed to foreign aid.
It 'feels' a little like treason to help foreigners, when you've got Aussies on hospital waiting lists and sleeping in parks and cars...

For Gaza...

lacking food and water,
home brand band-aids and panadols for blown off limbs, gunshot wounds?

maybe we could help just once?

Maybe blankets?
Do women/girls need tampons?
Do Palestinians eat 2-minute noodles?

Can we spare any anesthetic for kids having amputations at least?
If nothing else, like just that, please?

No good if Israel doesn't let the aid in.
Shoots people coming to collect it.

"granted many more visas to largely unvetted Gazan 'refugees' than any other country"

As of August 2024, Australia granted approximately 2,922 migration and temporary visas to people declaring Palestinian citizenship since October 7, 2023. However, only an estimated 1,300 of these individuals have arrived in Australia.
In the same period, over 8,700 visas were granted to Israeli citizens.

Hi Farnortherner,
"The Jewish side accepted the UN plan for the establishment of two states. The Arab states rejected the plan and almost immediately formed volunteer armies that infiltrated into Palestine against the Jews."

Do you own your own home?
And if so, I was thinking about moving over to your place.
I'll only take half, promise and I won't be any trouble.
You need to understand that God gave your house tom me.

"There was peace prior to 7TH October 2023"
- Show's what you know.

"Armchair Critic, are you a person who follows every forum just to support Palestine at every opportunity or else to support the biggest political group of dishonest politicians sitting in Canberra under PM Albanese?."
- No, I only share my thoughts and beliefs here.
Do you want me to hate those Labor traitors (agreed) so that I vote for the other unelectable LNP traitors?

"Never before have we seen TERRORISM come to our shores except on 14th December under ALBANESE."
- Yes it's an unfortunate tragedy.
I wonder why they might've attacked Jews at this particular time?
[Rolls eyes]
Couldn't possibly be because of Gaza?

"That was not from his leadership either – but from the LACK OF LEADERSHIP from a redundant and spineless prime minister.
Australia had TWO YEARS of warnings about terrorist groups being within our country. The weak and traitorous Albanese, Wong and Burke have let this massacre occur on their watch."

What did you expect Albo to be down there waiting and hiding, ready to jump out from behind the bushes and apprehend both perpetrators with his bare hands? Maybe Albo's a registered firearms owner?

Before we go assuming there was a data trail that might have indicated what they planned, let's first find out whether one existed in the first place.

"This prime minister is leading Australia away from the values that Australia has prospered by."
- What values are they? and maybe it's not all Albo's fault and the world is changing beyond anyone's one persons control."

[Cont.]

"Terrorists should not be allowed to tear us down – go to Palestine is that is their aim."
- I agree, but you can't control what others do.

"For this PRIME MINISTER to be stonewalling the demands for A ROYAL COMMISSION must be that he is so frightened that his incompetency will be blown wide open."
- I think they're all incompetent, political point scoring doesn't matter.

"PM Albanese would have been warned by our security organisations (we all were) about these terrorist groups."
Yes, and I bet Netanyahu was told that Diaspora Jews might face Blowback or retribution with his continued aggression against women and kids, but he continued with his grand scheme anyway.

Is that the fault of Aussies down at the beach?

Who's to blame for Bondi?

Netanyahu for causing the anger and frustration of Muslims or Albo for not looking into his crystal ball and seeing the future to prevent it?

Did Gaza cause Bondi?
I want to hear what the surviving perpetrator has to say for himself. I want to know why he did it.

Do you, or do you want to blame everyone else to score political points against someone you see as a traitor?

Get rid of 'dumb' so we can replace them with 'dumber'?
