I got into my car last night and instead of listening to my music I put on the radio and on newsradio expecting to hear the BBC world service. Instead I heard the locals reporting on a shooting in which ten had been killed at that time.
This was an evil act. To do it it necessarily means the killers have deliberately not recognised their humanity.
First a few things.
- We do not have any evidence to say it was a terrorist attack. It may well turn out to be but as yet the authorities have not produced any evidence. Remember the Lindt cafe was a terrorist attack yet it wasn't!
- A father and son were involved. They knew about a hanukkah celebration at bondi beach which i had no idea about.
- We have no idea of the motive. It may involve retaliation about Israeli government killing of palestinians, it maybe just pure old fashioned hatred of jews.
Clearly a lot of people who want to criticise the government for not doing anything have no idea of what they should do, they just need to do something.
If the pair have killed people for Israeli government actions then they are merely copying them. They are killing innocent people for something they have nothing to do with.
