Listening to Netanyahu scold Australia about how to prevent antisemitic terror raises an important question. If Israel knows how to prevent terrorism, why doesn’t she?

    As an Aussie, absolutely heard about this and was frankly disgusted not only by the comment, but the timing given he had said it some 2-3 hours after it happened.

    At that stage, information is still coming to light and proper investigative processes have to be undertaken. I don’t believe the shooter’s names were even released in full at that point in time.


    I maintain that the best thing Australians and the world at large should be doing is coming together and collectively rejecting everything those shooters stood for. Being divided is exactly what they wanted, and unfortunately we Aussies are seeing that in politicians and fellow Australians.

    Some incredibly heroic acts of bravery happened that day transcending racial and religious barriers, and we should be remembering and commemorating those people and their actions.

    I reject any comments from politicians using this tragedy for brownie points. Due process will continue, the scumbag will surely have the book thrown at him, and we can make an informed decision on what’s the next best move to help prevent further tragedies like this from happening.

      I did. And I don’t see any mistakes. This might be because I have a learning disability that prevents me from recognizing misspellings. It’s a huge issue for me and I have to use spellcheck as sort of a crutch. But it ain’t perfect.

      I used to think I was stupid, until I learned that the reason my condition was missed in my youth was because I learned to read at a normal age. I learned to read on hard mode.

      Your assumption that what comes easily to you is universal is ignorant and myopic. And I’m pretty fucking sick of it, thanks.

        Australia is spelled wrong in the image.

        And, damn, I was just trying to help. It’s not a criticism.

          “Just so you know, there’s a typo in Australia in the image” or something. Idk the brevity of the comment gave me a similar tone impression as the OP got.

          I upvoted this and downvoted the original. That was a missed opportunity for better communication, but you’ll learn and grow, as do we all. Also Lemmy doesn’t track downvotes so bygones are bygones. You’ll be alright.
