Appalling and unjustifiable behaviour. No matter your depth of feeling, this kind of violence is unacceptable.

Totally unacceptable. Targeting an ethnicity for what a country on the other side of the world is doing.

Stuff understands the site was targeted because on Google it is listed as the Consulate of Israel, which it no longer is.

I hope it was just clueless teenagers or something.

Israel are being cunts here, not the Jewish people as a whole. Hamas are being cunts here, not the Palestinian people as a whole.

The world needs to see nuance again.

Any time I read 'save the kids' or anything "savey kids" adjacent, I instantly have alarm bells ringing. I hate crypto and governmental overreach that use kids to do sneaky evil things.

Anyway, that was unrelated. I meant to say, this looks like a single person with a spray can, 5 spare minutes and 5 brain cells. Couldn't spell 'fuck' and tried to burn down their own message. Man, that kid needs some saving.

Why are people leaping on this as ethnically motivated when the article says this:
