Bondi Beach terrorist attack

Hopefully this hatred stirred up is a temporary situation. It’d help if Israel got a new and more peace-oriented government (I’m not fully blaming them, but Netanyahu’s bellicose government is certainly not helping matters for us Jews), and I have heard some of it may be provoked by state-actors such as Iran (as well as homegrown nuts, of course). It’d be horrible if this is the new status quo or “new normal” but hopefully these idiots and hate mongers get taken off the streets or just move on with their lives.

Didn’t they just announce their plans to manufacture their own weapons?

Yes. I don’t have a problem with that as self-reliance is good. But I wish they’d just put the Gaza mess behind them already and withdraw completely from there. And the random bombings in Syria (a country actually seeking security ties with them) and other places don’t help matters much either. Anyway, topic for another thread maybe.

Israel’s expulsion-and-extermination-oriented government isn’t going anywhere until the job is done.

Since Israel’s devastating assault on the besieged Palestinian territory, the population of Gaza has fallen 6 percent according to The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

With the conflict beginning nearly 15 months ago, about 100,000 Palestinians have left the enclave while more than 55,000 are presumed to have lost their lives.

The population of Gaza has declined by about 160,000 over the course of the war to 2.1 million, with more than a million, or 47 percent of the total remaining population being children under the age of 18.

Roughly 11% of Gaza’s population has been killed or injured

Cemeteries are overflowing. Mass graves dot the strip. Israeli airstrikes have killed entire families in their homes. More than 2,000 people seeking food have been killed, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. In some cases Israel has acknowledged firing warning shots at chaotic crowds attempting to obtain desperately needed aid.

Israeli attacks on health care facilities and limitations on the entry of medical supplies have left overwhelmed doctors to treat advanced burn victims with rudimentary equipment. Israel says it strikes hospitals because Hamas operates in them and uses them as command centers, though it has offered limited evidence. Hamas security personnel have been seen in hospitals and have kept some areas inaccessible. Israel has said restrictions on imports are needed to prevent Hamas from obtaining arms.

The war is the deadliest conflict for journalists, health workers and U.N. aid workers in history, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists and the U.N. The British Medical Journal says the prevalence of patients with injuries from explosives in Gaza compares to data on injured U.S. combat forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

AR (Assault Rifle) 15’s no doubt

ArmaLite Rifle is the term for AR here. :wink:

God forbid any of you admitting being wrong. Part and parcel of the demographic really. :rofl:

A list of arms for NSW Police makes mention of the Colt M4 Carbine being in use….

Looks like the Australian government are about to rush in a bunch of new hate-speech laws, and restrictive gun laws, in response to the Bondi attack.

I’m a bit confused how a White political group (NSN), who had nothing to do with the Bondi attack, are being targeted as a result.

“I encourage you to read the Old Testament and see what’s there, and see if you outlaw that what would occur. So we need to be careful. We consulted with faith groups, not just with the Jewish community, we want to make sure there’s the broadest possible support for this legislation,” Albanese said.

lol. Freedom of speech is too dangerous, unless it’s in your shitty old religious text which is chock full of it. OF COURSE then you can hate whoever you want and we all have to respect it. So we need to be careful. Saving religious hate speech is the only way we can get people to support limiting everyone’s freedom of speech rights.
