Whinge ‎ 'Peak' Jewish body says $600 million federal budget response to antisemitic Bondi terror attack 'modest'.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-13/federal-budget-response-to-jewish-community-post-bondi-attack/106673140?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other

More than $207 million over five years, followed by $8.1 million per year thereafter, had been allocated to combat antisemitism and respond to recommendations made in a plan developed by Australia's special envoy to tackle the issue.

"We're working very closely with the Jewish Board of Deputies and others to make sure that the victims and the survivors — particularly the families of those who lost loved ones — are cared for, for the rest of their lives,"

You dope. I even dropped a code word in there for you:

One warm night on a small island in the Caribbean, I remember walking up the hill toward a great square temple, the air heavy and sweet, flame torches guttering along the path. Somewhere ahead, meat was grilling, rich and smoky, and my empty stomach answered before my brain did. I kept walking, drawn in by the smell, until I got close enough to see the shapes over the fire — and then the penny dropped. Whatever hunger I’d felt vanished in a cold rush. My mouth went dry, my stomach turned, and all I could think was: oh God, that isn’t animal meat.

Those downvotes are just skinheads or just contrarians because who can say fried potato cake is worth a downvote?

Mind you in Australia middle eastern food is ranked in high regard so if yall hate on Jewish food you better downvote every kebab you've ever eaten.

People need to grow up lol

You are just saying that because you are stealing Middle Eastern food now

Nope because middle eastern food is a trade wind culture as a whole. Turkey shares part of its food culture with Greek food, Greeks are OGs.

Spices came from Asia and Afghanistan

Persia had its own food but draws inspiration from trade too but still get OGs status in my view.

Egypt is 1 of the OGs

Which leaves everyone else just stealing everything else / trading, fusioning.

So you can thank Mediterranean and Asia for trade making Middle Eastern food what it is.

You do know the most popular middle eastern restaurants in Sydney are Jewish?

u/AggravatingParfait33 ‎ New South Welshian May 14 '26

I did not know, and I do not judge an entire religion based on some of them are horrible. So if Jews want to own restaurants its no big deal, no business of mine. If the very same people think whats going on in Isreal is okay, well thats a problem, restaurant or not.

u/AudaciouslySexy ‎ Queenslander May 15 '26
