What is going on in Sydney??
lol I remember when that guy threw up a Palestinian flag in his yard and someone left a bomb on his car, an actual act of terror and nobody gave a shit. Being a cunt to someone in Sydney cause of what another country is doing is all round fucking stupid tho.

Police say they’re investigating whether some of these crimes were commissioned by “overseas actors”: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8057j0mz5mo
So that’s interesting. It might go some way to explaining what seems like a sudden onset, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s also been driven by a copy-cat phenomenon.
That article is worth a post of its own for awareness, I reckon. That’s not trivial.

Would probably usually post this sort thing to c/news, but posted in c/Australia seeing as two other articles on the matter were posted there.
Lol, graffiti. Didnt they get some terrorism task force involvement with the afp
What a beat up. Spraying angry messages, who cares. I guess people are unhappy with Israels actions
Maybe if they stopped genociding people?
Conflating all Jewish people with Israel is fucked and is also a key propaganda tactic of Israel.
You don’t have to support terrorism to acknowledge what creates and fuels it.
An increase in anti-jewish terrorism is expected after the last year of Israel’s genocide, and these specific events are likely a direct response to it; not random chance.
I agree with your comment entirely, so you may be misunderstanding the point I was making.
I agree it’s not surprising there’s been a rise in anti-jewish racism, especially since the Israeli state consistently tries to muddy the waters and conflate itself with jewish people in general (which is fucked).
The comment I was replying to (“Maybe if they stopped genociding people?”) appears to uncritically accept this conflation and the racist falsehood that the whole ethnic communities being targeted in these incidents are inherently connected or responsible for Israel’s genocide, and that needs to be called out.
Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jews, but never have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Zionism#Early_Jewish_anti-Zionism] and certainly don’t now - all the Palestinian rallies I’ve seen have a notable contingent of anti-Zionist Jews protesting alongside them. For an extreme example, you can find plenty of cases of Orthodox Jews burning flags of the Zionist State even decades before this conflict.
It’s important not to confuse the Zionist Regime with the Jewish peoples of the world, just as one doesn’t conflate neo-Nazis with all Europeans. Both the Zionist movement and anti-semites (esp. Nazis) intentionally try to push this false narrative for their own separatist goals, and it’s important we recognise and counter it.

For what it’s worth, here are two notable U.S.-based Jewish peace groups:
Thanks, luckily there are also a few in Aus too, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Council_of_Australia who have been important in providing a voice to mainstream media which isn’t just a Zionist mouthpiece.
the people of sydney are genociding people? that’d be news to the people of sydney
