But sections of Australia’s Islamic community celebrated the attack, sparking condemnation from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong. “What yesterday happened was the first time our brothers and sisters broke through the largest prison alive.”Footage of fireworks and flags also emerged from nearby the gathering and surrounding suburbs.
On Sunday, sections of Australia’s Muslim community condemned the Australian Government’s stance on the conflict.
“The LMA sees the trials and tribulations suffered by Australia’s First Nations people in the 235 years since British settlement commenced as being similar to the more than 75 years of persecution inflicted on the people of Palestine by Israel, its army and its police.”“Our First Nations people, the good citizens of Palestine and other oppressed peoples around the world should all be regarded as the same,” the statement read.
“There were comments that were made about these tragic events – I’d say to all Australians targeting of civilians, and the taking of hostages is never a cause for celebration,” she said.
