He told the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion he was embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community when he came out as gay as a teenager, but the experience was markedly different when he told loved ones of his religious conversion.
"When I began the process of telling people that I was embarking on this Jewish journey, I lost a significant number of friends,"
he said.
"It was quite horrific actually."
Benjamin F said he no longer felt safe in "progressive" circles and spaces, with his former friends calling him Jewish slurs and labelling him a supporter of genocide.
"It's lonely," he said.
I'll keep this in mind
Has there ever been a royal commission on anti-Muslim perpetration? The amount of arson attacks and other forms of violence over the years on Mosques and the number of reported acts of hate against Muslims (women having their scarfs torn off, being insulted and threatened, etc) is really significant and it has been going on for many years.
I don't think all Jewish people should pay for the crimes of the Zionist state but balance would deserve respect.

Last I saw the Jews haven't committed any terrorist attacks in Australia recently
You saying this on the day we got back a group of Muslim terrorists who committed crimes against humanity including an actual genocide against the Yazidi's is timely

It's easy to oversimplify issues.
You do know the Israeli government has been involved in supporting related sections or offshoots (for want of a better word) of ISIS? The situation in that part of the world is 'complex' to put it nicely.
Forgot to respond to the second part of your reply.

The Royal Commission is about anti Semitism, not about the Bondi massacre. Anti Muslim sentiment has been around as long as anti Semitism and it has resulted in the deaths of Muslims at the hands of an Australian on New Zealand soil: 51 dead and 89 wounded in 2019.

The 'ISIS brides' who are Australian and their children who are also Australian have returned and are prepared to face the law. Would you have the same contempt for returned Australians who have served in the IDF and have committed war crimes directly or indirectly?
No matter who kills civilians with bloodlust is involved in crimes against humanity. All must be brought to justice no matter who they are.

It was initiated because of the Bondi massacre
In her response to the Bondi Beach shooting, Australian opposition leader Sussan Ley initially focused on national security and counterterrorism, calling for the immediate formation of an antisemitism and counter-terrorism task force;[59] and by 22 December, Ley called on the Albanese government to establish a royal commission, outlining proposed terms of reference.[60] On 29 December, relatives of eleven of the victims of the Bondi attack appealed to the prime minister for a royal commission;[61][62] and were supported by Jewish leaders,[63] including Josh Frydenberg, a former Liberal politician who is Jewish,[64] senior Australian barristers and lawyers,[65] former Labor politicians,[66] Australia's Human Rights Commissioner,[67] prominent business leaders,[68] former governors-general, defence and intelligence chiefs, and sportspeople.[69]

Well yeah, Islam is a violent religion and has been pretty much since day 1:
They then appointed Sa'd ibn Muadh, who was gravely wounded by an arrow. So Sa'd stated that his decision would be, "The men should be killed, the property divided, and the women and children taken as slaves." Muhammad approved of the ruling, calling it in accordance with God's decree pronounced above the seventh heaven

This is very similar to Jesus and the early Christians who also went around massacring, raping, beheading, and torturing /s
Holy fuck a duck. You surely can't be defending Christians stating they've never caused harm or damage to people ? Jesus fucking Christ, have you tripped over any history book lately ?
No matter what the purported reason for the royal commission, it is about anti Semitism which had been growing anyway as an effect of the war crimes being committed in Gaza by Israel. Although there are Jews who do not see Zionist Israel as representing them, they sadly still have to pay the price for the horrendous violence committed against Palestinians (and now the Lebanese) by the IDF because most people don't have enough knowledge about the detail.
Islam is no more violent than any other Abrahamic religion which consists of Jews, Christians and Muslims. They have all been involved in battles, wars and crimes against humanity amongst themselves and against other groups or tribes. And, they have all owned slaves taken from defeated groups or purchased from slave markets. If you read the Old Testament you will find that for yourself not only about slave ownership but about Hebrew tribes being told by 'God' to go slay this or that other tribe or by their leaders such as David. There was tribal fighting in the Middle East long before Islam was established. They all behaved according to the times. There are plenty of instances for the crimes and also the noble deeds of these groups.
We do not know all about Jesus but we do know that he was a Jew and that he was not a milksop. As you will probably know, he started shouting, upturning tables and whipping merchants he saw trading at the synagogue. It is thought he was crucified by the Romans because neither they nor the Jewish people in power liked anyone who might provoke a rebellion (and there were plenty of people in the Holy Land who wanted to get rid of the Romans). As to early Christians, who were a Jewish sect, they didn't go around massacring etc because they were a small group and the Roman Empire was very big and very brutal. Christians were considered to be arsonists as well as inferior and superstitious (sound familiar?)
Anyway, we could go on about this for pages. I will resist responding to your posts though I won't promise it.
As you will probably know, he started shouting, upturning tables
lmao
Jesus! How could you! That certainly compares to beheading men, raping women, and taking slaves!

Funny you say that, on top of the ISIS brides who just came back, look what came up yesterday:
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) alleges the men, aged between 19 and 29, had been "actively engaging" in sharing ISIS-inspired material.
Adian Sarwari, Azan Syed, Mohammad Ahmadzai and Sulaiman Sarwari today appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court where they were all granted bail in separate hearings.
I'll be honest, I don't think there is a Christian equivalent of ISIS and I can't remember the last time Christians were arrested for being inspired by and loving the most violent and disgusting group of people in the world
If you could stop doing mental gymnastics trying to stand up for scum that would be great :)
Lets put it there for now, we can chat more in I assume another thread
ikt you are seriously racist, you know very little history, and you are using bits from my response to suit your bigotry. There has been Christian terrorism (do an online search) throughout history and lethal wars between Catholics and Protestants. I can't be bothered doing a history lesson here for someone who only wants his prejudice reinforced.
ikt you are seriously racist
Islam is not a race, it's an ideology
It's funny how when I say I hate Nazism nobody calls me racist but when I say I hate Islamism and the hate and suffering it inspires all of a sudden I'm racist
Much of the public anger over the weekend's events has focused on some of the placards held by protesters, especially one that read: "Behead all those who insult the Prophet."
Some of the placards were being held by young children, and they appeared to be encouraged to do so by their parents.

This was in Sydney and that was 2012, btw these people are still here and being arrested (like the ones yesterday)
I can’t be bothered doing a history lesson
You shouldn't bother because I'm already very aware of the history of Christianity, you don't debate Christians for 10 years without knowing a little bit about them

Nights!
edit: I watched another video of his and it was blatantly wrong so I did more research on this video and it turns out it's a bunch of crap as well, this is a rebuttal of it

Ok, apologies 😆. It was late and I was tired. You are not a racist, you are just a bigot.
And while you complain about threatening placards, the Zionist state actually continues to kill both Christian and Muslim civilian people during a supposed ceasefire (23 yesterday).
History can be twisted to suit most arguments. Actual dead bodies do not lie. So far, the Zionist state is responsible for more deaths than ISIS, Hamas or Hezbollah put together. Yet our 'Christian' governments continue to back or remain silent about the slaughter, assassinations, and breach of ceasefires. Where and what is our Christian ideology?
This is some extremely concerning nationalism.
As if all Muslims are the same, and one polity...
By the same logic US war crimes are the responsibility of all European decendants in the world because Trump is white.
Or perhaps all Hindus in the world are responsible for violence committed by Hindus in India?
No. That's nationalism. And nationalism is a cancer that must be stamped out.
Sorry, but I think your opinions on this are really concerning.
