    It was for a Hanukkah celebration, there were a lot of Jewish people, and Israel has been working hard to equate Jewish with Israeli zionism

      So are you saying a bunch of Aussies should not enjoy a holiday at the beach?

      Wait till you see what happens on Christmas Days! There’s even thousands of tourists too!

        @fizzle@quokk.au’s sarcastic comment was in poor taste and probably went over the heads of a few people. I understand the sentiment behind the comment and I think l It was probably posted out of horror, frustration, anger at the news.

        I think @T00l_shed@lemmy.world may have been trying to help connect the dots for anyone who didn’t understand what fizzle was going on about.

          Not so much horror, frustration, and anger, as merely trying to understand the motivations of the perps. I genuinely want to understand more about that.

          Well the comment you replied to spoke about Aussies enjoying holidays on beaches. Your reply didn’t address that at all. Therefore the obvious inference is that you may be against Aussies enjoying holidays on the beaches. I thought it was a very fair question.

          Irony, sarcasm and sometimes humour is not well transmitted on the internet, ay?

            It was more than just about Aussies enjoying holiday beaches, they asked about what it had to do with Israel, and I just explained how people are conflating the two.

              Oh, there is a whole lot of conflating going on, alright.
