Bondi racist bus attack: Jewish schools on alert after eight males threaten to cut schoolchildren’s throats, five teenagers arrested 

They were screaming ‘Heil Hitler’, ‘Kill the Jews’,

‘Palestine must kill you Jews’, ‘

We are going to cut your throats and slice your throats open’

• Teenagers arrested after bursting on to the bus
• Allegedly screamed ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘Kill the Jews’
• Children were crying, faces ‘swollen and red’
• Men got off at Bondi Junction
• Two of the teens described as ‘twins with blond hair’

POLICE have arrested five alleged offenders involved in a terrifying racial attack on a school bus in Sydney yesterday.

Jewish children as young as five were subjected to a terrifying racial attack when thugs stormed their school bus and threatened to slit their throats.

Screaming “Kill the Jews” and “Heil Hitler” the louts jumped on the bus packed with about 30 students, from kindergarten to year 12, who were on their way home from school yesterday.

Due to their level of intoxication they could not be formally interviewed by police. Their parents were contacted and Waverley detectives plan to formally interview the group later today.

The males are aged between 15 and 17-years-old, but threeoffenders are yet to be located.

Eastern Beaches Inspector Chris Stiles said officers reviewed CCTV from the school bus which led to the arrest on a Dover Heights street.

Police said at 3.50am today, six young males were found in Dover Heights. They are believed to be those who were on the bus.

The threatened students, from Mount Sinai College, Moriah College and Emanuel School, were hysterical after the attack by eight young men as the school bus travelled through the eastern suburbs towards Bondi Junction.

The attackers, described as Australian and smelling of ­alcohol, boarded on Alison Rd, Randwick at 4pm.

Whatever and whoever, the incident certainly served to strengthen anti-palestinian vs pro-Israel sentiments

He was the adult in charge.  The safety and wellbeing of those children, all of those children, was his responsibility.  Now either he didn’t know what was happening, which makes him rankly incompetent, or he did know, in which case, as he did nothing, makes him gutless.

There is another alternative. They might not have been shouting out noisy threats but were rather silently threatening.  The police report that it's not obvious from the footage that anything was amiss.

What's happended to 18c, why isn't it used against this type of thing? after all that's why it's there.

Carlton was racially vilifying Jews, posting vilifying cartoons, using the highly offensive Likudniks descriptors , still is, and yet he gets off scott free. What's happening with these protesters at Max Brenners shops, isn'ty that harrassing, threatening, insulting, intimidating Jews???

Your post is 100% correct LD, but 18C is only used against the right and people like Andrew Bolt, the right shall not have an opinion or speak.

No I do, I totally understand where you are coming from and respect your stance in that the adult in charge should be held accountable.  The "right" thing to have done would be intervene in a circumstance such as this.

No bus driver in metropolitan Sydney is going to stop the bus or  pull over to the side of the road in peak hour traffic and start having an altercation with a bunch of unruly students.  Drivers have been injured to the point where they could no longer operate the vehicle. such "man-up" interventions. He also risks an opportunity for someone seize control of the vehicle if he leaves his seat.

Once the driver is incapacitated the passengers, in this case young children, are left stranded and vulnerable to the abuse of  the perpetrators. 

Best the driver stay at the wheel until he can stop safely and and call for assistance.

Not to mention he'd probably face all sorts of disciplinary action against him if god forbid he had to god forbid use physical force on any one of those unruly teenage boys to make them stop their behaviour

Did you read or see the article in question or see the cartoon and the images it was a reflection of?

If the people you talk about feel threatened, intimidated or harrassed they have every right to lodge a complaint. Why ask here what happened to 18C.  Advise the people affected to make a complaint.
