You mean woke policies (-11)

The Chancellor speaks of what it was to be Australian. Being forthright and honest was always a central theme describing Australians yet today all we see are lies and distortions.While no sensible person condones the firebombings, lets put this in context. They were in protest against the atrocities conducted by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in Gaza. It's that simple and only narcissistic people will see the truth and disregard the facts. (Note, government and not those of the Jewish faith).I agree with other posters that this country is merely a shell of its former self, and that, unfortunately, is a direct result of allowing too much media influence being given to one person whose agenda backs up the fact that once too much power is allowed in the hands of a morally bankrupt group; well, nothing good has ever come from that.

You're missing some "context" there mate. Like the part where Hamas forces stormed into Israel, killed 1000 people and took 800 hostage which triggered all of this. (11)

So that makes it ok to murder 10s of thousands of civilians and children? (-4)

What resonates the most for me is that we have lost our sense of humour and larrikin spirit. People overseas have this perception of Australia and Australians as knock about good humoured people. We used to be, we aren't anymore, we take ourselves and issues far too seriously. (13)

HTF can your main post be about rising anti-semitism (which I agree is a bad thing), then in this comment you're saying "we take ourselves and our issues far too seriously"???So should I take anti-semitism seriously or not seriously if it isn't personally an issue for me?And what does larrikin even mean? Is some dumb frick with no real understanding of history (too busy being a larrikin in Year 10 to listen…) who does an 'ironic' nazi salute as a 'joke' a larrikin or an anti-semite? What about the same kind of person saying dumb, stereotypical stuff about muslims? Or Blackfellas? Or even women? Should we take them equally seriously or is that taking things 'too seriously'?I actually do agree with you that we have lost a lot of empathy, community and even mateship somewhere over the last little bit. Like the slow progress towards equality we made over the last generation has suddenly been battered back by economic pressure, splintering social connections, pervasive social media disinf... (5)

With that kind of attitude towards them, I can't imagine why you got banned before. It's a mystery for the ages. (1)

My 'attitude' of observing the fact they don't want to assimilate, they bring their hatred and cultural 'norms' that conflict with ours with them and then they have the expectation of we bend for them, and that is a bad thing for me to do? Muslims hate western society, and how we live, they make not secret of it and someone of us don't want to be hated in our own country…and that makes me bad? Why? For example, Sydney has seen a rise is gay bashings recently, violent thugs bashing lifeguards, Anti-Semitic fire bombings and vandalism. Last summer, it was a string of groping and sexual touching of women/girls at beaches, where they were let off because 'their culture doesn't know any better'. I wonder what 'culture' they are referring to. I wonder who is responsible for that. 🤔Violence is normalised and celebrated in their culture. It's not in ours. And recognising that's doesn't make me a bad person. (4)

We are just mirroring what's happening all across the world.Bigotry and racism is a global epidemic and will only get worse while right wing propaganda spreads unchecked.Anti-Semitism is terrible of course but no worse than any other form of racism or hate crime.Will all racism/hate crime be classed as terrorism if Peter Dutton ever becomes prime minister or will that just be reserved for certain groups?All we can do is s stay vigilant and protect what we have and don't allow our politicians to politicise issues that don't deserve to be.
