All these wars are causing ethnic tensions and excessive illegal immigration, any surprise car insurance thru the roof?

The Australian government invited the Middle East to immigrate into their country, now they have the Middle East with all its religious conflicts in their country. Same as in Europe. What did these elitist fools in government expect?
HopeSpringsEternal
It's the same in America only worse, unvetted illegals. Australia has strict standards for entry as an immigrant.
This sort of ethnic strife happening all across globe, only the Muslims & Arabs outnumber Jews by about 200:1
Regardless, insurance rates going UP UP UP as a result!!

It’s obvious Australia has an aggressive anti-Israel element to deal with. These jihadist knuckleheads aren’t the brightest sparks on the block, but with the unholy alliance with the anti-colonialist leftists, that combined with the constant throwing around of terms like ‘genocide’ these events should come as zero surprise. It’s the media has also played a role, so the responsibility can get shared around. Just watch the claims of a false flag, or some ‘Jew has done this to themselves for attention’ sort of drivel to start to appear. Sign of the sad times.

One group is angry that another group is supporting the genocide in Gaza. It could be a lot worse than a bit of spray paint and a burnt car.
Ricky Kaminski13
Bingo.
NCIS Reruns
That is a rather accusatory statement. How about, one group irrationally sees fit to blame Jews in Australia for conflict in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, etc. ,without any evidence to prove that Australian Jews are supporting anything?

Everyone who knows what Israel is doing now in Gaza, West Bank, and Golan Heights should not be surprised that this is happening now around the world.

Only “progressives” and islamists could blame an ethnic group for events taking place in a completely other area of the world.
Fighto!
I think most people have a fair idea of the background of the vermin who did this. Hopefully the police catch the scum soon.
According to media, the homes that were vandalised were not even owned by Jewish people.

Israel has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and is conducting what the UN calls a genocide in the occupied Palestinian Territories. There can be no excuse for violence in protests, but when every dissenting voice is immediately labeled anti-Semitic, one can hardly be surprised.

Its a shame that this is happening, Blame it of the current Israeli government
Anti-Israel is NOT Anti Semitic.
KnightsOfCydonia
far left scum just as bad as the extreme right fascists

Is it really antisemitism when people are simply calling out Israel for their ethnic cleansing assault on children and innocent people?
KnightsOfCydonia
Attacking civilians for actions committed by others? what else can we call this?
funkymofo
The UN is calling it a genocide.
Nibek32
EXACTLY!
Israel is the only county that has an actual word for how they victimize themselves.
The world is growing tired of Israel’s genocides. Nothing positive comes from them. They will fall soon enough and the world will be more peaceful for it.
Fighto!
In what world is torching cars and vandalising property of innocent citizens "calling out Israel"?
Concerned Citizen
It's obvious the directive has gone out from elite Zionists for the media to highlight anti-Semitism in order to deflect attention from Israel's slaughter of 40000+ Gazans and utter destruction of thier country.
What's worse? A burnt car and graffiti? Or 40000+ brutal deaths?
HopeSpringsEternal
Good point, can we really compare a few damaged cars with an ongoing slaughter/genocide/etc.? World has lost its sense of proportionality, another form of gas-lighting.

Mr Kipling
There is no genocide in Gaza. There is a war with lots of civilian casualties, which Hamas could stop at any time.
I am really getting tired of this extremely strong word being tossed around and devalued in such a way. The Nazi holocaust was genocide, the Armenian and Assyrian genocides were, the Ruwandan massacre of the Tutsis was. But Israels war with Hamas? The casualties hardly make a dent in the population and could be largely avoided if Hamas was not hiding behind the populace. And the IDF would have the firepower to indeed turn Gaza into a smoldering parking lot. But they do not.
Words have meanings, is not possible to respect that?
HopeSpringsEternal
More diversion, shift the focus to 'words' when they all in reality mean exact same thing = DEATH of Innocents.
Such 'empathy', no wonder so much hatred in this region.
KnightsOfCydonia
for a Israeli attack on civilians yes?
so attacking Jews no where near this conflict is justified? This is antisemitism.
This is just the same as blaming all arabs for the attacks the islamists have committed over the years.
KnightsOfCydonia
OK so we agree?
people that are in no way involved in the conflict should not be targets of retribution.
I personally believe innocent collateral damage on a legitimate target is a grey area though.
HopeSpringsEternal
How do certain groups get so UNPOPULAR Globally, especially in their "neighborhood"? Easy to understand if it is 'criminals' or 'child molesters' etc., but such widespread disdain or hatred is hard to fathom, WHY?
Maybe a serious 're-branding' is needed!?!

"" Attacking civilians for actions committed by others? what else can we call this? ""
Wow, good thing you sked?
First why don't you ask Bibi and see what he says!?
Second That is exactly what the IDF and their Fugitive leaders have been doing to the Palestinians in Gaza and the rest of Palestine.
