There's going to be a lot of ugly questions and scenarios come out in this discussion I think.
The bigger question I think is whether or not people can handle it or not.

Lets start with the footage.
10 mins and 36 seconds of uninterrupted footage.
Full side view across the little bridge.
(I wonder if they will bulldoze it or turn it into some Jewish forever memorial to remind us forever like the holocaust but I digress)
- 6 minutes of uninterrupted footage before the perpetrators are shot, and 4 and a half minutes of footage afterward.

What's interesting is police did not rush in and secure the area including weapons before locals stormed the bridge.

It is claimed:
'Bondi hero Ahmed Al Ahmed did two years military service in the Syrian Arab Army.'
http://x.com/Partisangirl/status/2000468479909183683
- That is, one of the nations Israel and America engineered the destruction of during theirs and Israels War of Terror.
Ahmed Al Ahmed came to Australia in 2005, Ex Syrian President Bashar Al Assad had only taken over from his father Hafez 5 years prior.

Hi Rhian,

"- The attackers targeted a Jewish community event celebrating Hannukah
- They had the flag of an Islamist terror organisation in their car.
- One of them has been investigated by ASIO for links to Islamic State"

I just saw some news footage of that flag on the windscreen. here.

Also news reports they went to Philippines for 'military style training' a few months back.

"This government has been warned loudly and repeatedly of the growing prevalence and vehemence of antisemitism in Australia, and the likelihood that it would become more violent."

I reject the idea that criticism of Israel is in any way responsible for the actions of other individuals.

I'm probably the most critical of Israel here, why don't you all just come out and blame me for it, like I did it?
I absolutely denounce and condemn what the perpetrators did, what they've done is no better than what Israels been doing, killing innocent people.

I reject the idea that denouncing Israels actions over the last few years somehow makes me worse than what they've been doing.

It's like Netanyahu issuing a directive 'Silence those witnesses'

It's a false narrative, in the same way Netanyahu blamed Tik Tok and X for displaying footage of atrocities in Gaza on their platforms rather than the fact he was conducting these atrocities himself.

By taking this position you and others would be effectively arguing that Israel should be allowed to commit said atrocities in Gaza and the West bank without criticism, and that Israel was right to have assassinated 280 journalists and their families to stop the world from seeing what they were doing.

[Cont.]
You're blaming the reaction to an event, without recognising the events themselves.
And the reason they wish to blame the reaction to the event, is they wish to continue their genocide without criticism.

It's like McDonalds adding arsenic to their burgers and then getting upset about the bad publicity.

Antisemitism is just a made up word to stifle criticism of Israel, when Zionist aims have always been to take more land whilst blaming the Palestinians as cover.
And if there is such a thing as Anti-Semitism, Jews historically kicked out 155 countries 1039 times, then why are they despised?
- I've seen plenty of evidence of why that may be in the last few years.

You say this is an anti-Semitic attack, an 'attack on Jews'
But I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to portray it this way.

Reason: How many non-Jews were killed and injured at Bondi being caught up in the middle of an ongoing beef between one group and another?
Aussies, for which they had absolutely nothing to do with Islam or Isreals atrocities and ethnic cleansing.

I say it's an attack on Australians, on an Australian beach by 2 groups that can't sort their own BS out.

Non-Jews wouldn't have been caught up in the middle of all this if Jews hadn't been holding their event during an ICC genocide which is accepted by quite a few prominent Jews themselves, and what does Hannukah celebrate, the reconquest of Jerusalem?
I think this kind of public religious oriented celebration is divisive and asking for trouble in a nation with a Muslim population.

Furthermore...
If you want to state anti-Semitism is the cause...
(Of which I'm guilty by their own definitions, which has nothing to do with me)

If any of you dare to say that I caused this, you'd be implying guilt by association for something I didn't do and have denounced;

Then I'd have to respond by asking if all Jews are guilty by association of the atrocities committed against innocent men women and kids that IDF commit?

That's what awaits if you wish to go down the 'guilt be association' path.

It's Israels atrocities that painted a target on Jews backs, not my opposition to something for which the opposition is indeed well deserved.
Standing up for innocent men, women and kids in Palestine is no different to standing up for the innocent men women and kids in Bondi.

Going by the posts here, I find it rather difficult to detect any difference in mentality between the Jewish & Arab mentality ?
Western stupidity as it presently is evidenced by the Woke Left is another mentality that is not from the text books !
Are conservative folk really the only blessed (or cursed) with at least some sense ?
Looking at the mentality of die hard Labor in the face of such massive evidence is literally an inexplicable phenomenon !

While weasel words are part and parcel of Albanese, his detractors are no better: one this morning calling him a “decent man” trying to do the “right things"; he is just “struggling to show real leadership”. Australians seem incapable of honest, straight up criticism - particularly Liberals.

Utter rubbish. Albanese is the very opposite of decent, and he is not a leader at all. Bondi has been coming to us for his entire failed prime ministership, and he has done nothing but encourage antisemitism by doing nothing; by mass immigration; squealing about near non-existent “Islamophobia” ( an invented word), and completely ignoring the antisemitic advisor of his own creation.

The man is incompetent, and he is rotten to his hard-left core.
