An Australian court has upheld a municipal council’s decision to ban the construction of a synagogue in suburban Sydney because it could become the target of a terrorist attack.
The group that wants to build the synagogue near Bondi Beach called Wednesday’s ruling by the Land and Environment Court “rewarding terrorism.”
The Waverley Municipal Council had denied the Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe, or FREE, permission to build near the beach, which is popular with residents and visitors. The council in its refusal of the development application said the site was “unsuitable for a synagogue because of the potential risk to users and other members of the general public.”

So your neighborhood mall becomes the target....or someone drives a truck at 80MPH down the sidewalk.
Everything is a target.

So they're admitting anti-Israeli factions on this planet do indeed commit acts of terrorism, as in the killing of innocent people?
Just asking because I've ever heard from most governments and media outlets is these so-called terrorists are just misunderstood and/or oppressed people. It's just not their fault.

So this is about a POTENTIAL threat, not some ACTUAL threat.
See what being a generally law-abiding and decent citizen (or group of citizens) gets you?
Here’s a question: If Australian Jews (or Jews in general) had a history of bombing or threatening to bomb mosques, then would this same board have given the thumbs-down on a proposed mosque? If the answer is yes, should Jews take up terrorism (because it seems that you get punished for NOT being a terrorist in this bizarro world that we live in)?
