this is where we belong and this is what we have. title i i it was built in the di granola residence would take back the beaches, but it's soon turned into on sunday that the ride could alarm. and the thing is so many people pushing and shoving so many angry faces. i felt very hurt. and i thought, you know, when you got to you like, what is it about us that you hate so much in 2005, niemen koobooley is in high school. like the rest of the lebanese australian community feels under attack by alcohol, the mob turned on any one of the relief in appearance upstairs and my bedroom

watching tv. and all i remember is the not going from the normal life piece, watching tv to just panic and chaos. and the feeling terrified i felt very, very scared. i didn't want my dad go anyway, the the horror of the day events, i'm phone name at the community lead a jamal ruthie is frantically on the phone. i spoke with many community leaders at the time that we needed call heads to prevail. brauders in hot hits and we need to act and act quickly. it was if we didn't, then we would lose control. it was a very, very touchy touch it on there was a lot of angry people about the things that was said about religion. and the thing

that was said, the community would like to be disrespect to them or with disrespect and santa care grows up in punch bowl. he's been going to chronology since he was a child, me and is married to an anglo astray leon. living at the time i called up my wife and said that michel oil, your citizen, your father's and asked, was just wondering that happened because no one, no one wants to say stuff like that in this country would lend people to tell me in spite hatred or frustration in packs or, or birch design a for the the, me ah, as night foods on this day of shame. hundreds of angry lebanese, it's trillion men,

a gathering in punch ballpark. i looked outside the window, my own health. i saw one car to car 3 car, 4 car and 2, i saw the whole park show the boys just ready to retaliate, revenge with anything when they might on the night of the riots. come on sunday is a high school student living with his parents across the road from the park. i was angry. i guess, angry too. you're talking about a 100 times. she's the boys guaranteed outside my house in front of punch park. something i've never seen before. come off little brother hattie, it's just 10 years old at the time. if the riots that intuitively understands the crisis, the police are about to faith, both for the full oxide 1015 minutes to come. very no, no swearing, no music, no nothing. it was very calm. but you could say the boys are angry,

they came all met up together. you had one place car that was coming up the street from the back of punch road. and once the police came, that's when everyone john back in the cars and thought to leave one more one and you know who's over in a few minutes still gone to iowa. i was in the car with a young guy who had a very serious weapon on him and to actually be in the car with somebody who was ready to use a powerful weapon was scary. the at the time of the riot mohammed ca boatley is in. he's a conditioning apprenticeship and he's quickly flipped up in the call for revenge to a guy who, who was to kill. and once we left, we went from, from southern southern, around the area,

looking for trouble even the most the most articulate and most intellectual people in our community was filled with outreach. because how much can someone like before they crack the apn? dozens of car, the streaming towards chronology seeking revenge as probably the revenge attacks that were most shocking to people because almost like the wider public could understand. young y'all been drunken australian racism. what i couldn't envisage was this boarded capital kite on dancing for cars. would basically march on the east. nothing like that ever happened in australia, in history. the gangs of men, the middle east and origin. buying the roof.

it was awful. i saw a video about a man walking down the street and people of lebanese backgrounds. they come in and attack him. i caught me. i just could not believe my eyes could have been made in canada or someone else walking down the street and punishable by 9 pm. the police could fit up roadblocks all around crinoline and the convoys of cause, still pouring in. change route by the side. tactically, to simply avoid corolla cannot what's called an easy place to get into. whereas the

eastern bitches much more open and much more available to a sort of widespread scattered on attack. and people peel off they angry and i feel in salad to what the hill my lot once they've been attacked in such a scarless and remorseless way. they feel that own bits are off, they can do what they want by 10 p in the beach side, bothered to brighten with and in the rubric are under attack. the shocking violence continues into the early hours of monday morning. how straight schools live in a drive? i just jumped out to my house and it's chuck a lie. the night smashed every single car straight. got the shovel off his truck, through stripe, through our bedroom window. it was absolutely was never been for fraud in my life.

but i remember thinking all that's really stupid. what, what good does that do? how, how does the call being damaged? solve anything. we got some river and we got pulled over by the police. they were asked to get the car put up against the bus stop. and searched and searched in the car and the cops just said in a nice way, and i get the f ada, he get a new carts, you look, you know, go home. it's a relief from the 100 and for name at his future wife. i was really shocked that i was one of the guys that went down. i knew because it's really out of character for him luck. he's really a much more logical than not the same time. i can really understand i can put myself in that position and i can understand being an 18 year old guy whose whole world is falling apart because people will not stop picking every bit of you. when

i go home, i thought about how stupid i was and how stupid we were. something serious could have happened to myself or to somebody else. and it could've been an incredibly bad thing for me. growing up, i could have destroyed me. ok, me the sunrise, the next morning. a nation wide in shock. he's yes, roger. drunken? right? they have to apologize. that's believing die. he has a terrorism to blame. investigate as a seeking several miles of middle east of here are some from my race flip. my ties, like a was really going to think me

the next day when it ended, it's like any other day kids went to school. i went to work. but when you deep down, the emotions is boy like thing. we started to get a lot of hate maps early monday morning, start out the right information coming to the police that there was going to be some retaliation and some violence towards like him. most. denny mccarty is a lebanese, a strain in senior, comfortable in the new south wales police and is still reeling from the night's events. i was quite disappointed to being devastated at the retaliation because i was hoping would be better than that. i was hoping that members of our community wouldn't get sucked in to you know, putting the show on the other foot. it reside with me that we need to keep close

eye on the tension. and so i tend to the most very early the mosque stopped me very well. i've been working the fees. and initially there was absolutely no problems. but as the hours went on, the, the crowds began to swell. and very quickly, there were thousands of people down there. and what was interesting was that the people that were starting to come down there definitely went over and let me background a myriad of cultures. so those greeks italians, different types of europeans as it falls, the atmosphere is increasingly volatile. i was at the corner of the bunch of road and i was talking with the police officers. and you could feel the tension. you could taste the anger. and you could anticipate to our member that evening sitting at my parents place and they live

on the white silicon was and sort of like you'd see people zooming past young people running a cars and all that sort of thing. these young people, not only middle east and but also muslim, normal, non arabic, whatever you, whatever you want to say. it was probably actually the most multicultural looking had been and i asked somebody said, what's going on? he said, i haven't heard that. you know, the gangs are coming down here. they apparently want to come and burn the most, damp. and we're not gonna let him. then high school teacher, she had did that 2 of his brothers are in the crowd outside the mosque. i thought, my brothers, my brothers are there and before anything else, my family's my support thing to me. i'm going out for my brother is i'm going to body get from me and bring them home and i would need to got in it.

and they would have been thousands and thousands of people public mosque where we estimate more than a 1000 people have gathered. that is obviously of some concern to believe. the corner of mol, on notice freelance photographer. and within an instant, you could see the members of the credit spotted him and like a mob, i just steer towards the i'll just sprinted ahead of the crowd and gone straight to him. just asking him something and give him the car and get out of here. so he's got in the car and driven off and i'm feeling pretty good about myself that i've got rid of that situation. but i've looked over my shoulder and i've noticed thousands of very angry people know who and i had someone else to base the frustrations. and i've just run towards me. so i've said to myself, ok this, this'll be the last day for me on of and so quick praying just bryce for impact

and other me watching the standards of people running towards me. all of a sudden like a like a like a way that i just stopped members of the mosque had from the human chain all the way around me. and my shield of me from the bulk of this raging force of the crowd . within about a few seconds, i started to hear the most beautiful sound in the world, which was police sirens coming in from every way. and i remember turning to a colleague and i said, that's how thank you for the use of how it work at this mosque. and that's a day that i remember that's the day that the communities have my life, the bright light in it all. was it, it was people who know most of the talking to a priest though people who were of all fights of all communities and just what are you doing or defending the mosque. but it wasn't like they had weapons and things wouldn't fit in the most. your men, of course,

i didn't think you'd even raise your hand in anger. but it was like this. no holy places off limits. well remember it came time for prayer and it was like this. okay, everybody, please just pray that will actually come everyone down me edited italy be surely. people dispersed me. but as they struggle to contain the rage of the dispersing crowd, community leaders fear the worst. while i know from people will talk and they actually, they have armed himself during a died and i was quite alarm voices. they have bought all baseball bats. there was a lot of guns out there and i was very afraid by 8 pm. the crowd is still fuming, and large groups gather at a nearby station. yeah.

i know in p and it's clear that the horror of the night before is about to be repeated. least it was on the move. the 2nd strike 9. the next morning community leaders make calls to the police and new south wales premier . on you, we need to act. we need to act a quick. otherwise, we will not be able to contains a situations. the premium new so swells was contacted and we told them what we should be done. on the 15th of december, the new southwest parliament was recalled for one session to actually pause the new legislation of locked down the

peninsula in lockdown. hundreds of police stopping vehicles coming over the reduced in to sell the loan childcare report to you that the police will step up their efforts to bring the bags on. the props who are responsible for those nighttime attacks to me the tough new law and resulting the biggest police operations since the sydney olympics, with 2000 police setting up road blocks on major roads, going into granola and over major beach side suburbs. unfortunately, somebody delegations took place, but i'm a tell you that could have been taos and the some people think it means that the muslim lebanese community is going to withdraw into itself. turns back on us, train them,

and bunker down in some sort of siege. others see it as a cathartic moment, which demands and engagement off the years of separation and mutual antagonism. the future african knowledge is going to be very difficult. ah, as the new year dawns, the horrifying events of december 2005, still reverberate among community leaders. and i think anyone who saw the level of anger and venom that was sort of coming out of the series of events that became known as a criminal arrives was very disturbing at the end of it all. i think some good came of it in a sense of everybody having to step back, take a deep breath and say, we don't want that to ever happen again. carmella is a turning point. the government realizes that it can't allow

a continuing demon isolation of muslims. the muslim communities more widely in the lebanese in particular them. so they have to re engage with a lot of society, the community and chronology, and the shire realizes that they have to stop building bridges. people are looking far more for ways of bringing people together than of dividing them. and from that point on, you start to see a lot more energy put into rebuilding the fabric of australian society. ah, we feel that we really need to be proactive into building bridges between our community and the shire communities. we needed to get them to know us who we are rather than read about us. we concentrated on top and upward most to do barbecues,

to invite people to come along. there was a big transformations at that time following criminal offense. 3 months after the riot, a new bond between wider and arab austria is formed on cornell abates. ah, working with the 3rd lifesaving association and chronology shy council, the lebanese is trading community launches and initiative called on the same wave. i wish the, what about we train some muslims in becoming lifesavers. ah . the virus is indiscriminate. get those living in poverty far more vulnerable to the dangers of cobra 19 alley. re examined the reasons for this disparities, the social and economic inequality that surround us much deeper and much more problematic than we thought. us,

they will be challenged and that's what people are because they want to question answered. that is what we've always done. that's what we will continue to do. oh hello i'm i am was in london. quit look at the headlines now. rebels from ethiopia is water. one region of trigger. i have taken control of lally baylor, which is a unesco world heritage site. it's located in hum hora, and it's a sacred locations of pilgrimage from millions of christians in the country fame for its 12th century, rocky and churches fighting into gray house built into neighboring regions and recent weeks, thousands of people have been forced to flee the violence, malcolm was following the story from.
