‘the response was too slow. There was a reluctance to see this as an alleged hate crime. “The police, government and media response in the 24 hours following the incident has been inadequate, consisting solely of investigations and charges for less serious, non-terror and non-hate offences.”’

I don’t care if you’re a Jew, a Scientologist, Christian or whatever turns you on. If you in any way endorse the killing of 71,000 people and displacement of over 2 million from their homes, there’s something seriously wrong with you and you’re no better than the Nazis and their enablers in 1941.

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.
