Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that a heroic Jewish bystander saved Jewish lives during the Bondi Beach massacre by tackling one of the gunmen. In fact, the man who made the heroic intervention is a Muslim of Levantine descent who was shot twice in the process.

Ahmed El Ahmed, from Idlib in Syria according to a relative, went up unarmed against one of the attackers, wrested his gun away and turned it on the terrorist, forcing him to flee, as footage shown by Al Jazeera demonstrates…

      Nah, I stand by that. Watch the video. The hero probably survived by not becoming another shooter, don’t trust cops not to overreact.

      Also if he had it would have been a vigilante shooting at that point.

        I still don’t know what you mean with anything you’ve said. Except the last part that cops might have shot him. But on the other hand two civilians actually got to the downed shooters before police. One was even mistakingly taken as a shooter and there was quite a mix-up there at the end. Still, police didn’t shoot.

        The guy could have knock the guy in the head out something.
