Some mad videos emerging from Bondi beach in Sydney. Gun man opened fire. Seems to have been arrested from the videos I've seen, looks like multiple casualties.

Any links / screenshots?.
Where has anyone said anything like this? An anti semitic attack being labeled as such is fine. I do tend to prefer for the police investigation to take place rather than rampant speculation. Such speculation has happened on threads and gotten things wrong in the past. I do think the motivations were most likely anti semitic.
None of the above means that people who oppose Israel's actions in Palestine are the cause of it though which a fair few posters are implying.
It doesn't justify war crimes, and nothing "justifies" killing innocent children. But Israel was entitled to invade Gaza to remove Hamas - in fact it's hard to see how they could have continued on as things were after Oct 7 - and that couldn't be done without killing some civilians. No invasion ever does. Look how many children were killed by the Allied forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. And Hamas has long had a strategy of deliberately using civilians to protect its soldiers, so unless you think that Israel should have admitted defeat rather than risk the lives of Palestinians (personally I don't though it seems a lot of people in Ireland do) then deaths were inevitable, and not necessarily war crimes.
Was the bombing of Berlin a war crime? Hamburg?
Deaths of civilians in a war are inevitable. To refuse to defend yourself from terrorists who have attacked your civilians because the terrorists have put their own children on the frontline is madness.
Some are not implying, they are downright asserting that the people who go on anti-genocide marches in general and those who hold 'Globalize the Infidada' placards are responsible for the massacre in Australia today. It is an utterly disgraceful smear to push.
And have I defended any war crimes?
Yes, you did - in the same post in fact.
So the response by Israel is not inherently wrong
People who have been calling to globalise the intifada definitely are though, right?
It's funny how words have real and consequential meaning until it's convenient for them to no longer have any meaning.
Oh my. You need to do some independent reading on the Allied War on Terror. An endless war because of the vague "enemy" i.e. terror. Remember that most of the terrorists on the planes in 9/11 were Saudi but they never got invaded/attacked. Wake up. 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudi...hmmm.
The "allies" also killed way too many Iraqi civilians and committed plenty of war crimes (e.g in prisons like Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo). But the allies are the good guys so won't get prosecuted. And they did find the WMDs...oh wait. Two wrongs etc. We see what happens when ICC charge the "allies" with war crimes.
Do some reading and being honest with yourself on all of this. You are falling for all the selective reporting. All of it.
No.
Which is funny considering that the Irish media still hasn't reported that Amnesty International has said that the Oct 7th attack was a crime against humanity. Nopt sure I'm the one who's poorly informed here.
And I'm not defending the invasion of Iraq which most people agree was an illegal war. I'm talking about the deaths of civilians in war. leave Iraq out of it if you like, and just consider Afghanistan, which was legal. Plenty of weddings bombed there too.
Australians murdered 70000 people?
Quite the shark jump.
Incidents like this should be expected with the global normalisation of anti-semitism, fuelled by cargo container loads of Islamist cash.
Relevance? Respond to my first post to you please. They are connected. This is just a goalpost move. I can see you are already avoiding the key points. Again, dishonest.
Jews in Australia murdered 70, 000 people? I must have missed that.
Sorry can’t keep up - too many posts.
Another what?
I'm watching the opening of The Week in Politics on the RTE News channel and there is nothing on the news feed about this terror attack? Nothing whatsoever. Have the RTE news crew gone out on some free palastine protest in Dublin or what?
One thing about this episode in Australia, the guy who disarmed the shooter was incredibly courageous.
Another person who believes that the people who go on anti-genocide marches in general and those who hold 'Globalize the Infidada' placards are responsible for the massacre in Australia today.
so when did the Australians murder 70000 people?
Well we don't know that for sure.
RTE website right now
Yet you have nothing to say about at least two different posters on here saying that the Jews in Australia have only themselves to blame, because Gaza.
There wasn't a genocide because if Israel had wanted to commit genocide they could have bombed Gaza from the air until nothing was left. Instead they had a ceasefire to vaccinate Gazan children after a polio outbreak. And the baby milk that wasn't delivered has turned up in Hamas tunnels. Oh, and lost over 1000 of their own personnel, many of them young, sometimes teenage, conscripts. Air attacks would have prevented the VAST majority of those losses, but of course would actually have killed far more Gazan civilians. Yet Israel never gets any credit for that. Everything they do has the worst possible motivation attributed to it.
And if you think it was a genocide, isn't Egypt complicit? They could have opened their border any time. Yet nobody seems outraged at that, and nobody attributes evil motivation to the Egyptians. Very odd.
Seems as though when someone else does the same as Israel, that's grand. Because reasons. But when Israel does it, they're evil.
Where did I say the Jews murdered in Australia have only themselves to blame? Disgusting insult
Critical slip of the mask/keffiyeh here.
Naked anti-semitism.
Ok - didn’t understand the post. Hard to keep up with so many posts and news reports.
Every time a terrorist attack happens some people are far more concerned about the anger towards the religion/ideology behind the attack than the attack itself and try to deflect from the perpetrators hatred of the west (despite them choosing to live there).
You know well what he is inferring. People around the world might not be able to influence Netanyahu's behaviour in Israel. Nobody is saying the Jewish in Australia or anywhere in the world are responsible for Israel's actions but Jewish people outside of Israel are certainly vulnerable as a direct result of his actions
at the time of writing your post you knew nothing. All speculative. Deal with it
