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.

The Intifada was burning people to death on a bus
or a sniper deliberately targeting a baby in a buggy.
Or killing teens at a disco.
That's what globalise the intifada means.
Just so you're clear what you're defending.
Nobody said otherwise, unless you think they did and you haven't pointed it out.
next to no reaction from who?
next to no reaction from Israeli supporters
Show where it is written that I must adopt your understanding of the term.
I don't mean to be cold and I'm sorry to come across that way but over 70,000 people have been killed in the Gaza war, around 18,000 of whom were children, how many of those were Hamas? thats why I used that phrase, the numbers are staggering and are more than likely much higher than those I've given.
Have you ever condemned what Israel has done in Gaza ?
LOL that's like saying I have to prove that snow is that white stuff that falls from the sky.
Look up first and second intifada, and what happened during them. Those were only a couple of the dozens of attacks against Israeli civilians. WTF did you think it meant? Singing Kumbaya around a camp fire??
The people killed today in Australia had nothing to do with Gaza.
Will you now compare all future mass shooting events to Gaza and consider them a drop in the ocean too?
Or are mass shooting events involving Jews to be looked at differently?
I already explained the interpretation of it which I am ok with.
Do you want me to write it for you again?
Did I say anyone said otherwise?
The people murdered today in Australia had nothing to do with Gaza but the deed had. It is a symptom of what is happening there.
Your were correct. They were killed in a war , just like the thousands killed in wars all over the world.
This was a deliberate targeting of Jewish people not involved in any war but enjoying themselves on the beach.
Bit like the Palestinian lads playing football on the beach - just before the IDF sniped them for the craic.
I don't know. Did you?
Anyone know if Iran was blamed yet ?
This is the antisemitism we've been talking about.
The "link" that "the deed" today had with Gaza is really just that the killers hate all Jews, whether or not they are Israeli, and especially whether or not they've even been to Israel in their lives, much less been in Gaza.
And people outside of the Middle East who act all naive as though there's anything Israel could do to stop people like that hating Jews are possibly fooling themselves, but they don't fool most people.
The reason there are more anti semitic attacks now is not because Israel has attacked Gaza, but because there are irresponsible people in the west who incite anti semitic attacks by ignoring why Israel is in Gaza in the first place.
The problem is Israel the country is linked to Judaism, so unfortunately the actions of the Israeli government has an influence on how people of Jewish faith is seen around the world. Much like how people of Islamic faith is tied to the actions of people of the same faith when they commit horrible acts. Whenever there is a terrorist attack then Islamophobic attacks increase.
Trying to imagine that it is not linked is denying the reality of the world we live in. Is it fair? No, but just pretending it is not happening is silly.
Funny that people in the region have much more in common than what divides them, but they are way too busy holding grudges from centuries ago they will never stop hating the other side.
A very poor attempt to silence people from speaking out about the genocide in Gaza. It won't work. This type of attack has everything to do with what is happening in Gaza. Terrorists are always watching and reacting. That includes both sides too.
Both sides? Funny that not one Jewish attack has ever killed anyone in western Europe then. And those Australians, well they're murderous alright.

This is an opinion piece published by Haaretz yesterday, before the events in Australia unfolded.
"If Israel cannot remain a democracy, Jews around the world will increasingly find themselves at risk.
It has long been the case that Israeli statesmen have too often failed to consider what some call the butterfly effect – that when an Israeli soldier is filmed beating a Palestinian in the West Bank, a swastika is graffitied on a synagogue in New York or Paris.
Yet American Jewish communal leaders have often made a similar error.
They failed to recognize that an undemocratic Israel would eventually jeopardize the place of Jews in the Diaspora"

Bibi and his Mossad has more than made up for them. Even used fake Irish passports.
Very true and timely.
More whataboutery. What's the link between Australian Jews and anything Netanyahu has done?
Because terrorism only counts if it happens in Western Europe…FFS
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/01/italian-canadian-volunteers-beaten-robbed-israeli-settlers-west-bank
Terrorism meaning - the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
And round and round we go, they did this…we only reacted…they attacked first in 627…we are only fighting back to what happened in 927…and in the end the people of Western Europe/USA loves neither people of Jewish faith or Muslims. A big joke we live in.
Your comparing a war zone to a beach in Australia. Not acceptable in either case but coming from you its no surprise.
It seems like you think it's justified considering what the IDF did. Not surprised there either
As I told you so so often, terrorists are watching everything that happens in Gaza, under Netanyahu, and will respond everywhere and anywhere they can. Violence begets violence.
This doesn't even make sense. You're on a thread about Australia. Not Israel. And I'm not one of the posters saying it's all because Gaza, or talking about "both sides" when they mean 2 billion Muslims vs 14 million Jews. Or maybe they mean 9 million Israelis, it's hard to know. The goalposts constantly change.
Spot on here. Not acceptable in either case.
Many decent Jewish people are trying to make this point. The attempts by Netanyahu, the Israeli media and the 'Zionist lobby' to link every Jewish person globally to the genocide and war crimes in Gaza is doing them (the Jewish diaspora) no favours whatsoever. The claims too that any person who criticises the Israeli government or the IDF is anti-Semitic and a supporter of Islamist terrorism is another variation of this.
I never said they had anything to do with Gaza, I used the drop in the ocean phrase in response to a comment that said we should be neutral on Israel which I disagree with, as in today was terrible but it shouldn't mean we ease up on or be less critical of Israel.
