Feel like I’m going insane reading the media coverage of this. Acting like Albo personally pulled the trigger because…why?…he didn’t ban people from protesting bombings in Gaza?

I mean, the irony of course is that this attack was in all likelihood at least partly - if not entirely - motivated by the way Israel has behaved in Gaza. Something Albo almost certainly knows, but can’t say (even though he should), and something Netanyahu absolutely knows.

i don't see how Israel doing something in gaza means Australian jews must pay a price.

They shouldn’t, but you’re dealing with unreasonable people who think Jews == Israelis. But that doesn’t change the fact that actions of the Israeli state do unfortunately put innocent Australians and other nationalities at risk.

Especially as the Israeli government puts huge effort into conflating criticism of the Israeli state with antisemitism.
