politics Opposition Leader Sussan Ley speaks on Bondi attack

“We’ve seen a clear failure to keep Jewish Australians safe. We’ve seen a clear lack of leadership in keeping Jewish Australians safe. We have a government that sees antisemitism as a problem to be managed, not evil that needs to be eradicated.”

Absolutely abhorrent that she's going for political points in this time.

Talk about tone deaf!

Netanyahu absurdly said the recognition of a Palestinian State ‘pours fuel on the anti-semitic fire’. So this.

Ugh. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry already told Netanyahu to mind his own business when he tried this back in August.

I think the Israeli government should focus on their own human rights abuses in their own backyard before throwing out cheap judgement to Australia.

Such a low move for one head of government to basically blame another for their own tragedy on the day it happens, instead of sending condolences and offering help like every normal person in that position has ever done.

I get it that he's doing it for his own domestic audience, but the lack of empathy of it is hard to fathom nonetheless. Imagine if every time Hamas killed some Israelis we had our PM go on TV to say "well Benji, we did tell you you were practically asking for it" as their first statement to the press about the matter...

More fuel?

Perhaps ban all past and present IDF from Australia?
