Mass shooting at Bondi Beach

[onetrack]

There's another couple (who became victims) who deserve medals, and that's an older couple named Boris and Sophia Gurman. They tackled the father, Sajid Akram, as he started shooting, but failed to overpower him, lost their balance, fell over, and were both shot dead by Akram as a result.

 

Their attempt to disarm Sajid Akram was accidentally captured on the dashcam of a car being driven past, as the terrorists started their rampage.

Any war between Palestinians and Isarelis always brings out the protestors. The call for a ceasfire - by Israel, knowing Hamas and those who preceded it wouldn't engage in a ceasfire. They don't call for an end to the war.. but to kill the Jews and Gas the Jews.. I am sorry, but i am calling it out. Look at the almost rioting in Sydney, the intimidation globally of Jews on campuses.. Don';t see people harassing the Russians, the Syrians, the various Africans, etc..

 

And I am at a loss as to why even far more gross excesses in the region don't even rate a mention. 

 

You can justify it all you want, but the reality it, it is anti-semtism.. A lot of people just don't want a Jewish state... but are more than happy with the other violence in the region to occur with nary another thought.

No excesses in Gaza. Don’t believe the propaganda. 

Looks pretty excessive to me: https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2025/jan/20/devastation-aerial-views-gaza-ceasefire-in-pictures

What Hamas did is no worse than what the Japanese army did in Manchuria and Borneo, or what the Nazis did to the Jews. But once done, you can't fight a war against a segment of society. There were good Germans and good Japanese, but the bombs rained down on them all. There is no other way to fight against evil in wartime. And war is the only way to sanitise the evil. Each society, worldwide, is responsible for the actions of the groups within it.
