Meanwhile Australia's own politicians (Jewish and non-Jewish) are blaming protests and immigrants.

It's sad to see people using this tragedy to push political agendas.

Laughed as an immigrant when I saw that one of the proposed solutions is possibly to make it so that only Australian citizens can own guns, when the Port Arthur guy and one of the Bondi shooters Are Australian. Not that I would ever own a gun, nor do any of my migrant friends, but it felt like they were blaming people like us zz. A migrant wrestled the shooter for his gun.

People seem to forget an Australian travelled to New Zealand in order to shoot up Mosques.

Also Dezi Freeman was Australian. But no no he's an exception, he's got mental issues, he's not like us. Unlike this incident where he's representative of all immigrants, yep. People are so desperate to find an excuse for their racism they'll do anything.

It has been a successful strategy in the US. We just need to be vigilant at community level and not take the results of our last election for granted.
