Mass shooting on Bondi Beach

It is incredible the hypocrites on this page.

Many of the people telling us that Australian Jews shouldn't be targeted over Israeli crimes in Gaza (which is totally correct) are the same crowd who have been nonstop telling us that opposition to it is antisemetic, which does nothing else but bind Jews worldwide to these crimes.

We see Gaza on our phones, on the news, in documented reporting, we hear the declarations from human rights NGOs, UN special committees, from experts in genocide studies, on and on.

These are Israeli crimes, not Jewish crimes, yet how many of youse have not only denied them, but accused those speaking out against them as being Jew haters for doing so?

And now, after two years of hive-minding Jews as complicit in Israel’s actions, you hypocrites suddenly insist that Jews are not to blame when antisemitic violence occurs?

We already know that, so stop using them and their vulnerable communities -who have no say in the policies of Israel - as shields so Netenyahu and his gang of pshycos can avoid being held accountable.

More innocent civilians killed in yet another evil attack. Great they have people in custody so hopefully the Aussies will get some answers and bring justice to the families.

I mentioned earlier I was in the area yesterday, away from the beach, I thankfully left earlier and was unaffected. But today I’m hearing about all the people who were affected.

A friend from Dublin and his wife on the far side of the beach at a birthday party when shooting started.

My boss was at the beach with her two young boys and had to flee the shooting. The boys are pretty shook up.

The people affect is a large number, the majority of whom are not related to actions in Israel.

Awful stuff, so frightening people have that hatred in then to do that to crowds of innocent people.

Bondi always full of Irish. Must have been fair frightening for them all, glad they got away without physical injury though witnessing that has to leave a mark.

You do know that nobody has ever argued that every muslim was bad

Yeah, sure.

Exhibit A.

The post you quote doesnt say that every Muslim is bad. In fact it acknowledges that Ahmad al Ahmed was heroic.

The photo shared was of the shooter. The name was accurate, the guy above just happens to have the same name, Naveed Akram.

The older shooter was Sajid Akram. Father and son. It is believed they pledge allegiance to terrorist group, the Islamic State.

In the past couple of days an extremist Islamic terror plot was prevented in Germany 5 people were arrested who had planned to drive a car through a Christmas Market.

In Paris the concert celebrations for New years eve are cancelled this year on the champs elysees because of heightened security concerns.

If a religion has an extremist element that is responsible for the vast majoirity of terrorist attacks in the world then when a terrorist attack occurs people will firstly assume that it is that same extremism that's caused said terrorism. That's not islamaphobia its a logical conclusion based on previous experience. Blaming all of Christianity for christian priests abusing children seems to be perfectly acceptable on this forum but saying that a medieval religion which has proven itself to have an absolutely murderous, barbaric element to it is a phobia. There is no phobia there is a problem with the Muslim religion, a problem which is epitomised by the suicidal empathy of the progressive elite who cannot comprehend that some cultures are incompatible with theirs, because their own virtuosness won't allow it, just ask the people of Lebanon a majoirty Christian country recently enough how compatible all cultures are.

That post didn't argue every muslim is bad.

It pointed out the fallacy the argument some have been making , the "oh look a muslim did a good thing yesterday therefore there is no issue" argument, forgetting of course 3 did an horrific thing so their own argument in defence of the muslim religion/ideology and the people who follow it based on this heroic deed collapses instantly .

I don't think there's no issue. there was an attack. But trying to use it to say that muslims are a problem when the vast majority are peaceful people is just wrong.

I always find it ironic that Irish people can make any kinds of judgements like that. It's not that long ago we had loads of active terrorist organisations here and there were weekly bombings. But no-one ever said the irish were the problem. No-one ever wanted to put a ban on Irish people moving to their country. Those attitudes did exist back in the 1800's. We were seen as violent and stupid. Thankfully those attitudes have gone away.

Islamic immigration implies islamic terrorism, it doesn't matter how small the radicalised minority is. Saying this is not islamophobic, it's simply acknowledging the truth.
