The appalling, devastating Bondi Beach killings

There is so much hatred and evil in the world.There always has been but today it is definitely getting worse and worse. The slaughter of 15 Jewish people celebrating their annual festival on Bondi Beach in Australia was so appalling and gruesome it was yet another example of how vulnerable innocent people of all ages can be when there are hateful Isis sympathisers armed with guns and other weapons ready to pounce. Terrorism is the blight of our lives but especially for those who face religious or cultural or ethnic discrimination. Jewish people have suffered so much for such a long time and it was so tragic that a survivor of Hitler's holocaust was one of the victims of the two Isis gunmen at Bondi. The Australian prime minister has called for tighter gun controls but that's never going to stop the determined killer who will use whatever means available to pursue their murderous cause. The slaughter on the beach followed the ambush by Isis gunmen of three Americans - two soldiers and a civilian - in Syria. They died in a war which has been almnost forgotten. There are still about 1,000 US soldiers based in Syria fighting Isis, and the triple deaths remind everyone that while Isis may have been "defeated", as a terror organisation they remain a threat to this day.
