    Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

    Respectfully - I disagree. At its best religion brings people together to deliver and celebrate many things that are good about us as humans. I believe religion means people are just a little more likely to give to society it doesn’t move the needle that much / I reckon 95 per cent of good...

    I think the thread is fine. Those who are resolutely anti-Muslim can piss off. Regards S. Pete

    Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

    I think this is a well explained post. However my expectation is that those who are at these protests for reasons other than Islamic fundamentalism should have done everything in their power to make the fundamentalists feel unwelcome. They should have made loud and frequent public statements...

    I’m just reflecting on Albo’s reference to right wing extremism and wondering whether, within the Muslim community, the gunmen and those of their ilk are considered to be right wing. Regards S. Pete

    Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

    I think this is a very good post. Within any large cohort of people there are going to be people at differing ends of a multitude of spectrums. Those who are on a certain end of a spectrum of idealogical fervour are more likely to become radicalised and undertake extreme actions. Regards S. Pete

    Wearing a keffiyeh and talking about Palestine at a vigil being held at the site of a massacre is not an attempt to have an open debate, it is designed to agitate. Regards S. Pete

    The woman who turned up with the Keffiyeh took exception to Israeli flags. Please tell us what evidence you have that people at the vigil were using it as an opportunity to justify Zionism. If this about what was being said online or in the media she should have used those forums. Her decision...

    Fair point - I missed the word “Too” which I had used above. But do you care to discuss the point. Are too many progressives unwilling to have their views challenged? Regards S. Pete

    Less than 24 hours and there we have it a pro-Palestinian, keffiyeh wearing person at the Bondi vigil. It doesn’t matter than she was Jewish. What matters is that it demonstrates a clear lack of compassion and respect. Too many modern day progressives are the exact counter to their...

    There is a difference between supporting something and hating and promoting violence against the opposite of that thing. Plenty of people in positions of allowed the latter to happen. Regards S. Pete

    Gavin, The right to protest should remain protected the content and nature of the protests has been allowed to become too hateful. Flags that bear the same colours and a “somewhat similar” logo to the Hamas or Isis flags, statements like “Abolish Australia” that mask hatred towards our very...

    Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

    This tragic event is the result of anti western democratic advocates being allowed to increasing get away with hateful rhetoric and actions. Whether it be Islamic fundamentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-christianity, anti-Australian or the variety of other mindsets that too often come together in...

    Mac Point Stadium! - "Tas Says Yes!"

    First up - great news. I’ll be switching my support to the devils next year and following them in the VFL (from the ACT). On the comparison to Wesley Vale - this is nothing like that. The gap between the level of support for the stadium and the opposition to it is quite big now - and growing...

    Players that didnt live up to their hype?

    Travis Johnstone. Always felt he was on the cusp of going ballistic but just never seemed to click for any sustained period. Pity too - always seemed like a decent bloke. Regards S. Pete
