Terrorist attacks in Israel

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The Jewish community are tough and resilient. They don't need those with a bad case of Islamophobia to back them up, just because it suits your political beliefs.
Were you as outraged about those who took part in the Cronulla riots or were you at the back corner of the local RSL cheering them on?

Islamophobia......theres an oxymoron moron, if ever we've invented one.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

the comment out of the jewish community is that they fear this development will diminish the reality of anti-semitism, that all anti-semitic attacks might be seen as bogus. that's to say that they understand that these particular attacks weren't motivated by anti-semitism.

as for the comments about pop gun pete - his mistake wasn't highlighting the possible seriousness of what was going on. his mistake was trying to get political mileage out of the incident. albanese, minns and webb all criticised anti-semitism but dutton didn't want a unity ticket. he wanted to attack the government's response. same as he's doing now with trump's tariffs. dutton's approach was to put less blame on anti-semites and more on his political opponent; and now, less blame on trump's quirky economic approach and more on albo.

If the complicated plot was not anti-semtic and just kinda random....

Why didn't the grand poobah choose Islam as his religious subject of terror? Given the extraordinary level of Islamophobia in our city; weekly protests calling for death to Palestine; doctors and nurses expressing their opposition and threats to those of Islamic faith; hateful Jewish preachers expressing elation at the deaths of Gazans etc. etc. etc. it would have been so much easier

Not hard to see why the world is so fked up when you got twits like this leading the way





Jewish groups panned the remarks with some saying they amounted to antisemitism.

“Donald Trump doesn’t get to decide who is Jewish,” Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, posted to X. “‘Palestinian’ should not be used as an insult. These comments are abhorrent but revealing of why the vast majority of Jewish voters have not and will never support Donald Trump.”

“The goal for this administration isn’t to counter antisemitism or protect Israel. It’s to weaponize antisemitism to go after their political enemies, advance an extreme agenda, and undercut democracy — and it only makes Jews *less* safe,” Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, wrote on microblogging platform Bluesky.

Great to see Israel going back in. Hopefully they finish the job off this time. If not for the hostages this war would have ended on October 8th, 2023.

Slava Ukraini too, battling evil forces trying to destroy their existence.

You start a war, you suffer the consequences and remember the Pally's voted Hamas in as their governing body and full well knew and agreed with their manifesto of destroying Israel and killing all Jewish folks worldwide.

The PLO should have been enough but Pally's will always back such terrorist groups. Their history is one created by the Egyptian Yasser Arafat - Stole the Jordan Flag and removed the star -remember how they tried to overthrow the King of Jordan - kicked out - Backed Saddam's invasion of Kuwait - kicked out - banished to Lebanon - Lebanon Civil War Resulted

Like WW2, when the allies conquered Nazi Germany, could they find anyone that would admit to voting for Hitler or being a member of the German Nazi Party? - No they couldn't?

Remember Hitler's reasoning for starting WW2 was Jewish folk - somehow, the Jewish folk were the reason for Germany not winning WW1 and for WW2 the Jewish folk were after world dominance by all possible means, especially by capitalism - monetary power and financial gain.

What do you say to the families of the 23 remaining hostages? All they want is for their family members to returned alive.

Hamas needs to release all hostages as agreed.

Yeah that's not going to stick...

Looking back, Israel may never have planned to leave Gaza or end the war.

When both sides agreed to a ceasefire, Israel refused to put in writing that it wouldn’t resume fighting after the first phase.

Despite this, Hamas accepted the deal based on verbal promises from mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and the US—that Israel would not restart its attacks on Palestinians.

The war re-started when Hamas threw missiles into Israel.

When you lie down with terrorists, the fleas will be the least of your worries.

That is incorrect.....even Israel has never stated that was the reason the resumed the bombing

Both Israel and the United States blame the renewed hostilities on Hamas’ refusal to release more hostages before negotiations on ending the war proceed — which was not part of the ceasefire agreement. Israel has accused Hamas of preparing for new attacks without providing evidence. If Hamas "threw missiles into Israel" Netanyahu would have been shouting it from the rooftop

OMFG This whole thing on both sides has always been political and ideology based. It is never too soon to point this out or to point out human rights abuses from a particular government.

It’s only too soon because it doesn’t fit your position on this I believe you are more than happy to bury your head in the sand or turn a blind eye to the Palestinian suffering that has happened for decades due to their religion

Now when or if you ever decide to pull your head out of the sand and educate yourself on what has exactly been going on over that way Here is some more reading for you

This is the key point.

If Jack lived anywhere near Flood or Penkivill St in the 80s or 90s he may view things differently.

I Lived in Penkivil St in the 90s and there were lots and lots of Jewish people who also lived in that street. I’m not following what you are suggesting though? They were to a man quiet but respectful and never ever caused any bother to anyone. Perfect neighbours.
