Not surprising at all, no. But these anti-semites were islamic (not the white neo-nazi variety). And considering the small crowds in London dancing around waving swastikas and a car full of people in Melbourne driving around saying they were “hunting Jews”, combined with Hamas’s formally stated aims of killing Jews and destroying the Jewish state, you might be entitled to wonder how many actually aren’t anti-Semites.
I wonder why the Arab nations surrounding Israel have invaded it twice since the late 1940s? Or why Hamas (the ‘elected’ governing party of Gaza) have the destruction of the Jewish state (and, until a few years ago, also the indiscriminate killing of any Jews) as among their formally stated objectives.
If you’re surprised at the idea that Palestinians might not like Jews very much you should do a bit more reading before wading in with accusations of racism.
I’ve also heard that some black people in South Africa attacked white people. It’s not racist to think there were racially motivated black terrorist groups. It’s racist to think all black people were terrorists.
You fluidly dance between Hamas, Arab nations, Palestinians, and “Islamic” people as a whole, because that’s how racists take the sins of individuals to justify their prejudice.
You wasted absolutely no time trivialising reality to suit your simplistic narrative.
The groups I’m ‘fluidly dancing’ between are not fringe offshoots, they are the ‘elected’ governing body of Gaza and a coalition of Arab nation-states who have invaded Israel more than once. To provide you some focus you badly need, Hamas’s charter is very clear on its goals and objectives around the state of Israel and its population of Jews. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/

Uh no, that’s racist as fuck.

You still don’t get that extrapolating from “Hamas” to even “Palestinians” is wrong, let alone to Australian Muslims in general.
