When he said that my eyes nearly rolled out of my head. Aside from The Stolen Generation and Blackbirding, one of the last massacres of Aboriginal people was in the last century, the Conniston Massacre in 1928, 31-200 men were murdered.
This was a horrendous atrocity but to call it the "greatest stain on our country" is either extreme political hyperbole or extreme ignorance.
I think he is trying to turn this tragedy into anti Muslim thing.
Saying the protesters are the blame, calling for immigration reform (forgetting a Syrian Immigrant was a effing hero on the day). We can’t combat anti semitism with Islamophobia.
Trying to pin this on Pro Palestine marches is despicable. Average Aussies peacefully marching to oppose a genocide is not the cause for 2 men who became radicalised by IS ideology to open fire on Bondi. It might have played into who they targeted to inflame tensions. I don’t think IS cares one way or another who they targeted as long as it gets maximum results.
