“Obviously massacring unarmed men, women, and children at a Hanukkah celebration is antisemitic terror,” Nathaniel added in a separate thread. “Just like massacring unarmed men, women, and children in Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Palestinian terror. There are no moral exceptions regarding the slaughter of civilians.”

Electronic Intifada director Ali Abunimah said, “Basically Netanyahu is saying that Australia got what it had coming for not supporting his genocide in Gaza even more than it already does.”

I submit that this happened not because Australia recognizes Palestine, but that it doesn't recognize Palestine in all but pointless words. If Palestine was actually recognized as an independent country on the world stage this wouldn't have happened.

Though whoever feels the need to shoot random people partying on a beach is obviously not right in the head so there's also a chance they would have just picked something else as their reason.
