Anonymous video claims Melbourne arson attack on Israel-linked company, threatens workers [View all]

An anonymous figure has claimed responsibility for the torching of several cars earlier this month at an Australian engineering company in Melbourne, while threatening that its workers will be targeted if they continue to make weapons components that are used by Israel.

--snip--

“This was not an accident or thoughtless act of vandalism,” the figure said. “This is a serious threat.” It said Lovitt, which specializes in precision engineering, was targeted because it was the first Australian producer of parts for the F-35 jet, “proudly deployed in service to colonialism and imperialism” by the US, Israel, Australia, and the UK.

The figure accused “every worker” at Lovitt Technologies of complicity in “genocide” in Gaza.“We will decide your fate, as you have decided the fate of millions,” the figure said. “For the past few months, we have been closely watching you. We have your addresses.” “All the information we have about you will be distributed to our underground networks,” the figure said. “Stop arming Israel or else.”

“Consider this a warning.”

Acts of wanton vandalism and declared stalking, followed by overt "serious" threats of indiscriminate felonious assaults. And note the rhetoric straight out of the list of obligatory accusations from the radical left, this time leveled directly against the working people of Melbourne: "colonialism", "imperialism", "genocide".

Or else. Consider it a warning.

Is this "progressive"? Does this not deserve a word of unconditional condemnation by any self-respecting democrat?
