Because we've tried singing 'kumbayah', and futile weapon bans, and curtailing our freedoms, and turning our events into rings of steel and frankly, none of it's worked.
Children, Holocaust survivors, religious leaders all have had their fundamental right – to life – abridged by a father and son on a mission. Because they were Jewish. No more, no less – just because of their faith.
And also because of the terrorists' faith. There's no getting away from that.
And in this initial period, I know what it is not time for.
Oh? Do Tell...
It is not time to blame Anthony Albanese for failing to do what Benjamin Netanyahu or some in the Jewish community demanded. It is not time to stifle criticism of Israel under the guise of stopping antisemitism. It is not time (yet) to investigate the possible failings of our intelligence services in anticipating and stopping this. It is not time to ban protests and shy away from our international obligations. It is not time to dilute democracy with overreach laws. And it’s certainly not time to politicise by introducing an immigration system based on religion.
How fortumate that it's 'not time' for you to stop anything the Left is fixated on, eh?
May we rise above this horror and national shame to be a better and stronger country. Where there is less dispute and more conversation. Less hatred and more compassion.
The hatred is all coming from one side, David, so good luck with fighting it with the usual performative theatre ands useless gestures targeting the tools and not the specific hands eager to wield them against their religious enemies wherever they are.
What I found interesting was that the donations, and words of gratitude, to this brave Muslim have been made by the Jewish community, whilst only screams of hatred and threats against him and his family by the Islamists. Religion of peace, my arse.

We all know that's an invention. There nothing 'peaceful' about Islam
DeleteI remember years and years ago, after one of these outrages, that Mark Steyn said "Enough with the candles and teddy bears, when do we start to fight back?"
ReplyDeleteI've lost track of how many more such incidents there have been since then, all carried out by the same sort of people, and apparently it's still not time to fight back.
Perhaps now, or after a few more years of million-strong immigration, it will turn out to be too late.
It's depressing, isn't it?
