Act of War

An enemy of Australia has attacked Australian citizens on Australian soil.

This is an act of war.

Yes. the firebombing of an Australian synagogue.

Hate crime? bull.

terrorism, no.

Enemy soldiers have attacked Australians in Australia.

We are now at war.

Who are the enemy?

We may never know. Other than anonymous cowards. As in any war -- soldiers not in uniform are shot on sight, as spies.

What we can guess, at least, is that our enemy is anti-Israel.

In general, my sympathies are vaguely anti-israel.

They use ancient self-written religious texts to justify gradual expansion and regular killing ofanyone who is not Israeli.

But what they do in their own part of the world is their own concern.

I may object, be disgusted but, if they want to be vicious barbarians, that is who, what they are. I have no right to interfere in their internal wars of extermination.

Now an enemy of Israel -- that seems to be who is involved -- an enemy of Israel has brought war to Australia.

We don't have to be friends of Israel.

Now, however

... we are definitely enemies of at least one enemy of Israel.

An enemy of secretive cowards.

No, we can't declare our own war on this enemy of Australia.

What we can do is to support Israel. Not with a war of revenge. Not while our enemy is unidentified.

yes, the firebombing was an act of war.

An attack on Australians on our own soil.

We are now at war with an undeclared enemy.

we cannot attack the hidden enemy on suspicion.

we can provide support --short of actual war  -- to the country whose enemies are now, also, the enemies of Australia.
