Don’t you mean ‘Pacific Islanders’? I doubt an island could hurt anyone.

It not earth shattering news anyhow and they were not all Pacific Islanders.

Let’s not presume anything. It’s of no consequence who they were. They were louts, no matter what race, religion, creed or colour. There is no need to put a label on them.

Bill, please shut up. The offenders were not nazis and non-white.

First of all, we don’t know WHO did what to WHOM. Note the WHO-WHOM construction; all that matters is WHO-WHOM — who is doing what to whom.

I did some digging around — not that hard actually. It turns out that the youth were pacific Islands.

So let’s play with out who-whom construction.

PACIFIC ISLANDS ATTACKED JEWS

Wow, how unremarkable.

Why stop at Bondi? I live in Tamworth and wear clothing with Hebrew writing n it every day. Yes I do get dirty looks from the local Mulims but that their problem. Maybe I should make a T-shirt that says “Never Again” inside a Yellow Star of David and underneath This Little Old Granny Fights Back.

My prayers and love go out to the families who were hurt.

Thank God I wasn’t raised with any racial discrimination is all I can say, passing that legacy on within the family.
It all begins in the home, whether spiritual or temporal.

Nina, we hope you are okay, too, and that your leg makes a full recovery.

How?

I think the coverage of the Bondi attack here has been very strong – it’s a despicable thing to have happened, and as such an important issue to speak about.

I do however wonder at this reply – I don’t think being a Muslim and being an Aussie are mutually exclusive, and perhaps a better answer would have been something like ‘No, there is nothing to suggest they were Muslims.’ or similar.

I know this is a small point to make, but I think it is worth making because increased tolerance can only benefit everyone.

Wishing all the people who were attacked a speedy recovery.
