I never hear about anti-Indian, or anti-greek, or anti-Irish or anti-anybody, but somehow in this world there is a term antisemitism which in today's language relates to Jews. Unfortunately Jews are all cast into the same pot because of a few right wingers and religious nutters who promote violence. Then you have a troll on et who supports jewish violence.
Yes, they do that to those who are siding with Israel. Don't ever forget, it's Israel who want posession of Palestinian land.
The law changes coming in response to antisemitic attacks across Sydney By Max Maddison and Amber Schultz January 20, 2025 https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...ic-attacks-across-sydney-20250119-p5l5ka.html Hate speech laws will be strengthened within weeks and protests outside places of worship outlawed as the NSW government grapples with the fallout from a spate of antisemitic attacks across Sydney. Declaring he was increasingly of the view that hate speech was the “initial spark” of brazen antisemitism, NSW Premier Chris Minns said Labor had made the “difficult decision” to table tougher – and potentially contentious – legislation when parliament resumes next month. “Our government is going to ... strengthen laws, so that if someone’s preaching hatred in the community, it doesn’t manifest itself two or three months later in a firebombing, an attack or something worse,” Minns said. “No stone will be left unturned.” NSW Premier Chris Minns faces questions about antisemitism on Sunday.Credit: Dion Georgopoulos The changes are likely to set up a clash between Jewish groups who want tougher laws and penalties, and Muslim organisations who have warned the government to tread gently to preserve what they described as fundamental freedoms such as speech, association, and religion. Political leaders are under growing pressure to restore community cohesion following a series of antisemitic attacks in NSW, including synagogues being defiled with graffiti, cars in Jewish neighbourhoods being torched, and one of the community’s high-profile leaders targeted.....
They did that to gays, Fatah members, family rivals, anyone whose stuff they wanted, women who rejected their advances, and many others. Thousands of murdered people by Hamas.
Highly likely very true. Israelis don't as a norm attack their own, but they sure as hell attack their neighbours, women, children, unarmed civilians, for no other reason for being in the wrong place and wrong time, "bang", youre dead. You need to stop making pathetic excuses, it doesn't matter how you slice it or dice it, Israel are on an unhinged murderous campaign. Israel ramps up deadly airstrikes on Gaza after ceasefire deal is reached In less than two days since the agreement between Israel and Hamas was announced, fighting and airstrikes have killed at least 115 people, local authorities said. Jan. 17, 2025, By Chantal Da Silva https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/...s-gaza-ceasefire-deal-agreed-hamas-rcna188104 TEL AVIV — The Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal will go into effect too late for Akram Abu Ahmed to see his children again. His family's sole survivor after an Israeli airstrike, Ahmed was sleeping in the area of Gaza City in the early hours of Thursday after celebrating news of the truce when he heard a loud sound and was thrown into the air. “Dust and screams surrounded me,” Abu Ahmed told NBC News' crew on the ground in Gaza on Thursday. His wife and three of his children were killed, including a daughter whom he said was a doctor. “Is this what they aim for? Killing doctors?” he said. Addressing his next question to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he said, “Why did you kill my daughter?” In less than two days since the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas was announced Wednesday, fighting in Gaza and a series of deadly airstrikes have killed at least 115 people, Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense agency said in an interview Friday.

More deaths were reported across the enclave. The hours surrounding the ceasefire deal marked "the bloodiest day in the past week" for Gaza, Basal told NBC News on Friday. In a statement Friday, the United Nations' Human Rights Council condemned the strikes, saying “we are dismayed that shortly after the deal was announced, Israel continued bombing Gaza indiscriminately, killing Palestinian civilians despite expectations of calm until the ceasefire takes effect." The council urged all parties to accept the Gaza ceasefire deal to end “15 months of immense and terrible suffering in Gaza." The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that it had carried out strikes on “approximately” 50 targets across the Gaza Strip “over the last day.” It said some of the targets included “Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, military compounds, weapons storage facilities, launch posts, weapons manufacturing sites, and observation posts.” The military also said it killed Muhammad Hasham Zahedi Abu Al-Rus in a strike, who it said had participated in the deadly assault at the Nova music festival as part of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 taken hostage.

The IDF has maintained that it does not target civilians and that, prior to the strikes this week, "numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians and civilian infrastructure," including the use of aerial surveillance, precise munitions and additional intelligence. Researchers have suggested the death toll in Gaza could be significantly higher than the official numbers. In a peer-reviewed study published earlier this month in The Lancet journal, researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine estimated that as many as 64,260 people were killed in “traumatic injury deaths” from Oct. 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024 alone. The Israeli government voted Friday to approve the deal. The Supreme Court will now have 24 hours to permit any appeals, with the possibility of a ceasefire taking effect as early as Sunday. But until then, the airstrikes may well continue. On Thursday, four young children, who witnesses say were killed in the string of airstrikes launched by the IAF, lay bloodied and lifeless on the ground outside a hospital in Gaza City. In video captured by an NBC News crew on the ground, their small bodies were shrouded alongside the corpses of other victims at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. “They were sleeping happily with the news of the truce,” one man told the crew. Then “the Israeli airplanes shelled us.”
A complete lack of class by the far right Israeli pricks. What else is new. Not to mention the event is in the residence of the president, a free knees-up and they have the cheek... "Irish president rejects call not to attend Holocaust event" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jng2761z6o Michael D. Higgins might look a bit like a leprechaun, but he is a genuinely decent person and an intellectual of great integrity. As president of Ireland, a largely ceremonial role, his duties include hosting state dinners, representing the country, and ensuring that new laws are constitutional, a task that spares the prime minister much effort. There may come a day when Israel is free of Likud and its fascist tendencies. When that day arrives, Ireland will deserve recognition for standing up and speaking truth to power. Many Israelis know this and resent that Ireland understands the reality of how their country was birthed. The Black and Tans, a force of literal criminals recruited from British jails by Churchill to suppress Irish independence, were infamous for their brutality. My own grandmother narrowly escaped one of their rampages. While empires often rely on brutal suppression, the Tans were a state terror force. The Irish eventually drove them out, but not before Churchill redeployed them to Palestine, where they assisted in the ethnic cleansing that accompanied British partitioning. That era’s approach to "solutions" often meant partitions that satisfied no one and left deep, lasting wounds. The legacies of partition, from the birth of Pakistan and Israel to Northern Ireland, remain as lasting reminders of decisions made without regard for the lives they disrupted. From memory they also partitioned Yemen, Bengal (created Bangladesh) recently Sudan (never learn), Malaya Union (putting groups together who really should not have been).. That went all went so well.
Same old tune played time and again. "....whadaboud...." along with; "...we are victims, they're trying to annihilate us, supply us bombs so we can be rid of them...."
Palestinians freed by Israel include people imprisoned for social media posts Two people who spoke to AFP have recounted how their family members were imprisoned over their social media activity. An 18-year-old who was waiting for her mother, a doctor, to be released told the AFP her mother was arrested in January 2024 in the north of the occupied West Bank for her social media posts. “I’ll hug her right away. Of course, I’ll hug her. At first, it’ll just be tears of joy,” she said. “They accused her of incitement because of posts she wrote on Facebook,” she said, calling the charges “ridiculous” for a middle-aged health worker. The father of another young man who hasn’t yet been released told AFP his son was also arrested for social media activity. As we reported earlier, the Palestinians released early on Monday morning also included journalist Rula Hassanein, who was charged in an Israeli military court over her social media posts expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
