There's some concern that we might have a repeat of the 2005 Cronulla riots. Only last week I saw an article that expressed the conditions were ripe for a repeat. And now after this...

The point of these terror attacks by islamists in the West is to rile up tension between different communities.

Make terror attack -> Provoke backlash against muslims -> Breeding ground for more extremism.

The most helpful reaction to such attacks is to morn the victims, improve work of the police and services and NOT have any other political or social implications.

I'm fairly sure that seeing a scantily clad pretty boy twerking triggers all kinds of reactions from you.

These guys are the dumbest of the dumb. They’ve reduced the amount, and effectiveness of criticism against Israel, the exact opposite of what they want.

Those poor people, and especially the little girl. Murdered by idiots, who like them, enjoyed life in one of the best countries in the world.

Threads is currently full of 2A wackjobs commenting on Bondi. With plenty of Australian clapping back..

Those criticising the Albanese government for failing to reduce anti-Semitism seem to imply than nothing less than totally forbidding pro-Palestinian protests would be insufficient...

I guess this is where Western inaction on Palestine has brought us. The cumulative effect of decades of defending and enabling Israeli military endeavours against a section of its own population has led to international relationships wholly defined by Israel's internal political landscape and its relentless anti-Palestinian propaganda. Thus, even moderate criticism of Isreal over Palestine is now thrown back at us as being indistinguishable from supporting the eradication of Isreal as a Jewish state and championing the murder of Jews, either in Israel or abroad. To listen to Netanyahu disingenuous rhetoric you'd have thought Albanese loaded the guns and pulled the trigger.

By the twisted logic of sectarianism, violence from one side is always the fault and responsibility of those on the receiving end of it. And condemning the violence of one side is always taken as explicit support for the violence of the other. But ordinary Palestinians are no more responsible for the IDF carpet-bombing them in tents than those ordinary Australians were responsible for being murdered by Islamic nutjobs.
