Bit sparse on evidence/info. but the "explosives/anti semitic " headline will cause palpitations.

Someone arrested...what was the actual charge ?

-1 ( +6 / -7 )

Zero on other media, including NSW Police site.

Lots of cops on the "anti semiticism " thing...20 more added.

Operation Pearl it is called ...bizarre name.

Sounds like that neo-nazi problem, deeply entrenched in Australia, is on the rise again.

It's a weekly event these sorts of events there.

Sounds like that neo-nazi problem, deeply entrenched in Australia, is on the rise again.

It's a weekly event these sorts of events there.

It seems to be, but re-naming radical islamists as "neo-nazis" seems a bit misleading.

A basic Google search confirms numerous neo-nazi incidents in Australia in the last few days:

Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner, Giridharan Sivaraman, has condemned the neo-Nazi rally held in Adelaide on Australia Day, warning a National Anti-Racism Framework is the only way to adequately combat the rise of the white supremacy movement.

When a commissioner like this is making public statements about rallies like that, it sounds potentially very accurate.

"The rise of neo-Nazi groups and hate crimes has raised alarms across Australia, prompting government officials and community leaders to take action. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan expressed her concern during a recent media briefing, stating, "It's alarming to witness the rise of hate groups across our peaceful communities".

: according to The Age.

Sounds like this nonexistent problem of neo-nazis in Australia actually exists as state leaders sound the alarm too.

Unlikely to be Nazis, more likely to be people angry about the genocide in Gaza and holding Jews in Australia responsible. Not all Jews are Zionists.

8 ( +11 / -3 )

perpetrators probably bought and paid for by the zionists to gain sympathy for the war criminals in Israel who just slaughtered 50000 people and demolished all their hospitals and houses…

JJE ...all nazi crap is to be condemned...however, see how the right in Aust politics, and their mouth piece "The Age Murdoch owned ? use anti semiticism as a political tool to advance their own agenda while allowing anti Islam garbage to flourish.

A Jewish women , a comedian, raised these points ...Julia Swartz ?....in a skit in Australia...raising heckles and bring expected criticism from agencies like Jewish Board of Deputies...Google.."Duttons Jew "...

Seems like Aust. has become hypersensitized and any criticism, even in jest, of "Gods chosen people " becomes non kosher.

Remind people again of the on line mag 972 Israel for Israeli non aligned perspectives on Gaza etc.

No...Aussie isnt turning into the Weimar Republic.

Too lazy, happy and intoxicated for extremists views...long live the BBQ

Seems the "neo-Nazi" label is being used to distort and misrepresent the ethnic, cultural, and ideological background of the real anti-Semites.

And I think we all know what that background is.

Mr. Kipling...yes...not all Jews are Zionists...many devout Jews reject the idea of Israel itself, deeming it to be a secular creation, Israel doesnt include all Jews and Israel itself has a strong population of people opposed to Israeli politics at this time.

But, my God, the Israeli Parliament majority, although slim, is held by some nasty people.

Hope this changes.

Hope the realisation that oppression will always bring a response becomes clear.

Every country has some nasty people in its government. That's the key word though--country.

Hopefully Australia can clean up and get rid of those antisemitic perpetrators.

Perhaps someone objects to the continued slaughter of Palestinians strongly enough to target individuals and institutions that voice absolute support for that slaughter, and the religion/ethnicity of the supporters is irrelevant to them.

Would that qualify as an antisemitic viewpoint or an antigenocide/pro human rights one?

Wouldn't surprise me. The French used to do that with the synagogue shootings and other violent attacks. Dropping oblique hints about Neo-Nazis immediately afterward -- only to arrest Islamists, the real culprits, later on.

Exactly.

NSW Police have someone in custody and allege a caravan full of explosives, but no specific anti terror charges laid yet.

The Australian government imported middle east terror politics, and they're surprised? LOL, highest ranking officials PM and FM showing complete lack of self awareness and they're surprised terror now roam their shores?

Seriously, voting against allies, in support of terrorists, hostage takers, and they expect a different result? Mr Albanese, Ms Wong, you rewarded terrorism, and Australian people pay for your blunder.

There's a track record here, you and your family slumber in the lavish Quantas (invite only) chairman's lounge paid for by every other flyers. Sigh...

Supporting justice for oppressed people in occupied Palestine and Gaza is not "importing middle east terror politics "

It is simply the right thing to do.

All people have equal rights despite the discriminatory policies of Israel and the attitude of its supporters

And no "u" in QANTAS

It is simply the right thing to do.

LOL, right for who? Australian are all paying for the blunder/s in foreign policy ever since Albanese, Wong got in power. They gave up their shoes to walk in the boots of terrorists.

Too bad they didn't apply the same right thing to do when they sold out Autralian exporters AND allies when they withdrew action against China in the WTO on the eve of a win.

Sh,mon.....if I could follow your "argument " I would respond.

From "terrorists " to WTO and a "sell out " to China. ?

Need more meat in that sandwich, my friend....all lettuce and dressing so far.
