Shooting at Hanukkah Festival in Sydney: issues of security, weapons, and migration policy
The tragic events at the Jewish Hanukkah celebration festival in Sydney are already being called Australia’s largest terrorist attack in recent decades. The country’s authorities have issued a series of statements outlining measures intended to prevent similar attacks from recurring in the future. The discussion has centered on two key topics: firearm control and the effectiveness of migration policy.

According to sources in law enforcement agencies, the elder attacker had resided in Australia for a long time. However, his past in his home country, which may have been connected to a region of instability, was not properly vetted. This has called into question the effectiveness of coordination between the country’s immigration and law enforcement agencies. The absence of thorough background checks on migrants’ histories and ideological views can lead to the infiltration of individuals with radical beliefs or unresolved psychological trauma into society. Such individuals are at risk and often become vulnerable targets for recruiters of extremist ideologies even within Australian suburbs.
Against this backdrop, comparisons have emerged in public discourse with the policies of certain European countries, particularly those supporting the EU’s general principles of migration policy. On the other hand, opinions are expressed that a similar incident is unlikely in Hungary and similar countries, where governments and Viktor Orbán personally, despite constant pressure from the European Union leadership, maintain a tough stance on migration and reject attempts to open borders for migrants.
In Sydney, the attack on December 14 resulted in 16 deaths and 40 injuries, including two police officers. According to police, the terrorist attack was carried out by a father and son. The 50-year-old man was shot dead by police at the scene. His 24-year-old son is in critical condition in the hospital. Australian journalists report that the attackers were Sajid and Navid Akramy. The elder attacker had held a firearms license since 2015 and owned six registered firearms. Video footage from the scene shows that a rifle and a shotgun were used. Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated that the father arrived in the country in 1998 on a student visa. His son was born in Australia and held citizenship.

It’s simple: Important the third world, become the third world.
We see this playing out daily, in real time, in dozens of countries all over the developed world. Cities that were once the jewels of human culture and development are now filthy, stinky cesspits of pickpocketing, scams, harassment, robberies, hang warfare,. rapes, stabbings, and murders. It’s not, for instance, Swedes who turned Stockholm into the rape capital of Europe.
And still it continues…
Europe has driven out or exterminated millions of its most productive, well educated, law-abiding, and generally upstanding citizens (Jews), and replaced them with tens of millions of the worst-quality humanoids that can be found on the planet. Lunacy doesn’t begin to describe it.
I will just focus on Sweden, for the moment …
The line about Sweden or Stockholm being the “rape capital of Europe” is just a slogan. Sweden records high numbers in part because it has one of the broadest legal definitions of sexual assault in Europe and counts multiple acts as separate crimes, including within relationships.
On top of that, reporting rates are relatively high thanks to decades of work encouraging victims to go to the police. In many other countries, definitions are narrower and underreporting is huge, so raw numbers make Sweden look uniquely bad when in reality you’re often just seeing better law and better reporting, not uniquely high levels of violence.
And I’m sorry – I live in the IX … Budapest’s low rape numbers on paper mostly reflect underreporting and system differences. Many Hungarian victims never go to the police because they fear not being believed, being blamed, or facing social fallout. And consider our legal definitions of rape and sexual assault are a lot narrower (some Hungarians think certain things as acceptable “boys-be-boys” behaviour – which Swedes would call “rape”), and repeated or ongoing abuse in Hungary is generally counted as a single crime instead of multiple.
Add to that the attitude of our police to these crimes (discouraging or downgrading of complaints, anyone), let alone the trust in our courts, and voilà – artificially low statistics.
