There is no justification for the killings at Bondi, just as there is none for the killing of innocents in Gaza. When will anyone ask or answer the question (honestly) as to why there has been a global rise in antisemitism?

According to polls, around 45% of the public intend to vote for (hard) right parties. The media is controlled by the right in the main. Any party wanting to be in power needs to deal with that. Can the Greens or Your Party do that?
