I'm not the type to touch weapons like guns, swords, or bombs.
These terrorists creep me out.
 
Ahmed al Ahmed sounds and looks Lebanese.
I live in an area full of Labanese people.. Most of them are a beautiful people. so good at heart.. Few of them are involved in gang violence.

Ahmed al Ahmed could be anyone.. Egyptian, Syrian, Labanese or even Palestinian...

The name resembles the Egyptian names.

Most importantly, he is a Muslim. At a time when everyone was running away, he had the balls of titanium to catch of the killers. Even I don't know what I would have done. I don't think I have that massive footballs.
 
Muslims are apologizing to the Jews while Jews are trying to perpetuate a Holocaust against Muslims just because they're angry about people becoming pro-Palestine

Until Jews go out and condemn their own bad actors I won't sympathize with them

Murdered on Chanukah: Remembering Rabbi Eli Schlanger and the Light He Refused to Hide

Rabbi Eli Schlanger was murdered along with at least 11 other people on Sunday at the event he helped organize: Chabad 's "Chanukah by the Sea" at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The British-born rabbi was only 41 years old and a father of five. Learning that his youngest son had been born in October makes looking at the flyer promoting the event even more heartbreaking: the location was listed as "near the children's playground." Children were among those targeted in the mass shooting carried out by two shooters, according to reports.

Schlanger is the second rabbi to be murdered in a little over a year. Rabbi Zvi Kogan was killed in the United Arab Emirates last November; three Uzbek nationals were arrested for his murder.

Terror attacks during Jewish holidays are sadly becoming increasingly common. The horrific October 7 attack in Israel of course happened on Simchat Torah, when Jews celebrate the conclusion of the annual Torah reading with "unbridled joy." The Manchester synagogue attack, when a terrorist started stabbing people at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, occurred on October 2, 2025, Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Now we have an attack on the first day of Chanukah, when Jews light their menorahs to "illuminate the darkness" of the world. The flyer for the event invited people to "come celebrate the light on Chanukah together with the community. Bring your friends. Bring the family. Let's fill Bondi with joy and light."

In an article published on Chabad.org earlier this year, Rabbi Schlanger discussed the concerning rise in antisemitism in Australia, which includes many events over the last couple of years such as the firebombing of Melbourne’s Adass Israel Congregation, antisemitic graffiti at a Jewish school, and an attack on a kosher deli. Schlanger said that his synagogue, Chabad of Bondi, had increased security and was visited by police three times a day. One thing that he never lost amid the rising threats, however, was his pride of being a Jew:

Walking the streets as a visible Jew, Schlanger says he has “never personally been the target of antisemitism. My car—emblazoned with mitzvah symbols—is a living example of pride and resilience.”

The rabbi says that the way forward is the same: “Be more Jewish, act more Jewish and appear more Jewish.”
There will be those who will think: "Well, look what happened. He was murdered at a very public Chanukah event. The answer clearly is: 'Be less Jewish, act less Jewish, and appear less Jewish.'"

To that I can only say: Have we really come to this in the West, only 80 years after the Holocaust? Besides, hasn't history shown that assimilated Jews are no safer than more observant Jews when a society succumbs to the oldest hatred?

My own rabbi traveled with Rabbi Schlanger (see the photo above) to Israel shortly after October 7 to, among other things, help the families of the hostages taken by Hamas.

We have many Chanukah events planned for this week, and I’d be lying if I said the safety of my community doesn’t cross my mind. I must admit that, in my weakest moments, I even ponder staying home and—yes—hiding my Jewishness. But how can I do that after watching this video of Rabbi Schlanger, recorded one year ago—on Chanukah?

You do not need to be Jihadi or brainwashed to Hate Israeli baby Killer so called Jews, Just need to be a normal human.
But you need to be a Jihadist to actually carry out terrorist attacks in another country on Jews who were just celebrating their annual holy festival of Hanukkah. 🙄
 
Right.
These terrorists, like most terrorists, knew they were very likely to be killed on the spot, so this was a more refined version of 'suicide bombing' and unfortunately Pakistan and Afghanistan, along with some Muslim countries, do have fringe groups with enough ideological foundations to commit suicide attacks.
Which begs the question: if they knew they were going to be killed on the spot, what was the IED in their car for, exactly?
 
Then there might be a superiority complex..

Out of the 12 died, how many were Israel supporting genocidal Zionists exactly? Ahmad al Ahmad would have died as well if he hadn't approached from behind the attacker (and there might be other Muslims around at that time). Did the attackers check the ideology of people before opening fire? Is it really allowed in our religion to kill people randomly even when we are at war?

Who is justifying the attack? I'm not. But if it was the other way around, the media would be asking the Muslims on the beach "Do you condemn October 7th?????", do you? Do you, do you,,?"

This literally happened. You have actual CNN/BBC/ABC News casters asking of little Gazan's on the beach being bombed by IsraeHell, "Do you condemn October 7th? When they child is holding in his hands the served head of his father blown up. Do get it now?

Why isn't the media asking these Jewish victims of this terror attack, if they support Israeli Genocide?... Do you see them asking them? No... And they shouldn't.... Because that would be perverted and inhuman. But they ask Muslims those stupid questions all the time. Have you asked yourself why that is?

"light" lmao , blackhole would suit him better
 
What about Australia’s own media? 🙄
One of the alleged shooters in the deadly attacks at Bondi Beach in Sydney was Naveed Akram, a man from the city's south-west, according to a senior law enforcement official.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr Akram's home in the suburb of Bonnyrigg was being raided by police on Sunday evening.

There is no need to apologize to the jews.

But there must be some kind of guidance for youth to tell them that the solution of Israeli problem is not to randomly shoot people at a beach in a country more than 6000 miles away.

The solution of Israel is the unified response from the whole Muslim world. It should start from economic repercussion first.. such as Muslims collectively, under the guidance of their government, boycotting any and all the products of Israel and its supporting nations.. This one step will be enough..

ALL THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES UNDER A UNIFIED LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE!
