I’m not sure about the immediately called bit, but yes, anything has to be broad and include racial discrimination and anti-religion speech of whatever kind. It can’t be just about anti-semitism. I understand the Muslim women who wear head coverings put up with pretty much constant harassment. I expect the Brethren women who still wear headscarves cop it too. Because they are identifiable. Catholic nuns are harder to pick these days since most stopped wearing the veil. Whatever is done now must be broad.

As a matter of interest, were all the people killed at Bondi Jewish? I would expect there to be non Jewish people around Bondi too.

A dude was killed just walking along the beach with his dog. He wasn’t part of the Hanukkah celebrations.
