New South Wales Police say 15 people, including a child, were killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach on Saturday - their ages range from 10 to 87

The attack happened while an event was being held to mark the start of Hanukkah - police say they're treating it as a terror incident

The two gunmen were father and son, police say. The 50-year-old man also died at the scene while the 24-year-old remains in hospital in critical condition

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calls the attack "an act of pure evil" that "deliberately targeted" the Jewish community

One video gives the clearest picture yet of how the Bondi Beach attack was carried out, writes BBC Verify's Benedict Garman

British-born Rabbi Eli Schlanger was among those killed in the attack, his family tells the BBC

An eyewitness tells the BBC he lost "a very dear friend" who'd just become a father again, while a young man says it felt like the shots went on for "an eternity"

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns confirms 15 people, including a child, have been killed and one of the shooters has also died Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon says the two gunmen were a 50-year-old father and his 24-year-old son Police say the 50-year-old man was a licenced firearms holder, had six firearms registered to him and that six firearms were found on Bondi Beach "Two active improved devices" were found at the scene and have since been rendered safe by police Two properties have been searched by officers overnight in the western Sydney suburbs of Campsie and Bonnyrigg Police also say 328 officers have been deployed to provide extra security and support to the Jewish community in Sydney

The hero that stopped one of the terrorists in Australia is called Ahmad Al Ahmad.

The Anti-Israel mobs celebrated him being a Muslim, as if that made the terror attack less terrible.

But he is not a Muslim!

He is a Christian Maronite!

I wonder if that attack was coordinated with the one at brown university.

It would be an interesting if someone read the mail of these killers.

So were the liberal jews, the ones who created the destruction of Western Civilization through mass immigration/racial guilt/and subversion of Christianity. Go to X and watch "oUr grEatEsT aLLY!" celebrate the "Broom of Israel"

He disarmed and stopped the father for a while. The terrorist walked away, went back to his son, and rearmed with another long gun, then started firing again.

Some fathers and sons go fishing, put up hay, put up fence, or hunt deer.

Islam families hunt jews.

Jews are purposely terrorized by people who pretend to be Jews... they are kept in a constant state of fear by the synagogue of satan. In Israel you have a bunch of non practicing and genetically non jews destabilizing the world and keeping actual jews in a constant state of fear.

The following corollary has held true for the last several hundred years.

“There are people who pretend to be jews that kill other jews in order to blame non jews for hating jews in order to keep all of them under control.”

The lesson is to figure out who the individuals are that are responsible for their own actions an expose those who pretend to be jews as the synagogue of satan. Hope that helps.

It’s the Jews own fault. Everything that is bad in this world is their fault. The final solution is the only real answer. /s

Does anyone have any idea where the father and son were from originally? Were they both born in Australia? That’s the only reason I can see for the father being allowed to own registered weapons.

The vote there is that he has a Muslim name. Not Maronite.

Those Muslim bastards couldn’t be respectfully silent for even a day.

The really disgusting part is that their appeal will work. Australia will now crack down hard on the slightest sign of “Islamophobia”.

Maybe the Australian government should invite that fool George W. Bush to visit, and tell everyone that “Islam is peace”.

Not much doubt in my mind.

And yet the MSM will gaslight us that it's not terror related, not coordinated, they're just random, isolated events that coincidentally happened to occur at almost the same time.

As far as the father/son connection, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
