“A true hero.”
Flags across Australia flew at half-mast Sunday to mourn the victims of the shooting at Bondi Beach. On the same day, the shooting occurred in Bondy Beach, Australian Prime Minister Albanese and the local people laid flowers.
On the 15th, the Commonwealth Government held a national cabinet meeting with state and territory leaders. The statement after the meeting said the National Council of Ministers was committed to eradicating antisemitism, hatred, violence and terrorism and would ensure community safety. Police at the New South Wales of the incident said they had dramatically increased their presence and launched“Operation Asylum” against the Jewish community.
Albanese praised the Good Samaritan Ahmad at a press conference yesterday, who bravely took the gun from a gunman and avoided further casualties. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 43-year-old fruit store owner Ahmad is a Muslim. He was having coffee with a friend when he heard gunshots. He found a gunman hiding behind a tree, rushed up from behind and managed to grab the gun. In the process, another gunman opened fire on Ahmad, who was shot four or five times and is in hospital undergoing surgery. His heroics touched people, with more than 2,800 people donating to his operation on crowdfunding websites. “You are a legend! Thank you for your Swift Action!” People wrote on the website. “Your bravery reaffirms your faith in humanity. You are a true hero.”
The killer had six guns
At present, the Australian police and anti-terrorism agencies have begun to investigate the two gunmen. Police in New South Wales, Australia, said 15, two suspects for a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son. One of the men was a 50-year-old man who was killed at the scene. He was legally licensed to carry six guns.
According to Australian joint anti-terrorism group Senior Officials said the two gunmen found in the car of the international terrorist organization, “Islamic State” flag. The official said ISI had been concerned about the 50-year-old gunman, Akram, for six years because of his close ties to the sydney-based Islamic State terrorists.
A suspect under investigation by the security services has sparked controversy after he was found to have 6 guns. Australia’s gun control laws used to be the world’s strictest“Gold standard”, according to the Guardian. But there are now at least four million guns in the country.
In this regard, the Australian national cabinet meeting 15, agreed to take“Strong, decisive, focused” action to strengthen the gun control laws. Albanese said this would include speeding up the establishment of a national gun registry, making more reference to“Criminal intelligence” in the licensing process, and limiting the number and types of guns that individuals can own.
Why anti-semitism is on the rise
World leaders strongly condemned the attack. Western leaders, including those from the US, UK, France and Germany, have denounced“Antisemitism”. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Islamic countries have also unanimously condemned the attack against civilians. “Violent attacks against civilians are a reprehensible crime,” a foreign ministry spokesman said
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 14, lashed out at the Australian government, “A laissez-faire antisemitism.”. Hours after the Australian attack, the Benjamin Netanyahu slammed Albanese for“Doing nothing” with the antisemitism, the Israel Times reported. “The antisemitism is cancer and you [ the Australian government ] have allowed the disease to spread and the result is the horrific attack we are witnessing today,” he said yesterday, adding: When Canberra decided to recognise the State of Palestine in August, he wrote to Albanese accusing it of“Fuelling the antisemitism”.
However, the latest report released by the Australian Jewish Executive Committee shows that Australia has recorded 1,654 anti-semitic incidents in the past year, which is three times the number before the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
Anti-semitic sentiment on Australian social networks can be divided into“Old antisemitism” who have always seen Jews as alien and dangerous, according to the Australian website Dui Hua, and a“New antisemitism” focused on Israeli and state behaviour. Social media statistics show that the number of“Antisemitism” posts has risen from an average of 34 per month to 2,021 since the Israeli invasion, “New Antisemitism” posts have soared from an average of 505 a month to more than 21,000. The survey found that Israel’s military operations in Gaza had led to extremist comments on social media that tended to blame the Jewish community and Jews for Israel’s state actions.
