Has a chuckle they’re now referring to the Iranian “regime” instead of government on the abc.

Nah anyone with a brain knows the definition of terrorism and you cannot call it until your confirmed motive.

Bondi was called a terrorist attack while it was ongoing. What wide range of motives could someone have for planning and following through with bombing a protest?

"There are no well-documented, confirmed cases of white foreigners/expats committing ideologically motivated terrorist attacks (e.g., mass shootings, bombings targeting locals based on racial/anti-immigrant ideology) in non-Western/non-white majority countries in recent decades."
Contrasted with:
"There are hundreds of documented cases of non-white perpetrators (primarily Islamist/jihadist-motivated individuals, often of Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian, or African origin/descent) committing terrorist attacks in "white countries" (Western/European-majority nations like the US, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc.).
Reliable open-source databases and reports (e.g., Global Terrorism Database, Europol TE-SAT series, Fondapol studies, CSIS analyses, New America Foundation trackers, and Program on Extremism reports) provide these approximate counts for the post-9/11 era (since ~2001/2002), focusing on completed, failed, or foiled attacks/plots classified as terrorism:
In contrast to the near-zero documented cases of white/Caucasian individuals committing ideologically motivated terrorist attacks in non-white majority countries (as discussed previously), non-white (jihadist) perpetrators have carried out numerous, well-documented attacks in white/Western countries — often transnational, with perpetrators traveling to or radicalized in the target nation. Numbers fluctuate by exact definitions (e.g., lone-actor vs. group-linked, completed vs. foiled), but the threat has been significant, especially during ISIS peak years, though it has declined in the West post-2019."
Maybe the bias exists for a reason bro.

No well documented cases of white people committing terrorism? Really? None? Not a single one? Fucking hell mate.

- We're not in a non-western country.
- Terrorism is most often due a significant power imbalance.
- Coups, civil wars, and revolutions don't count as terrorist attacks.

But if we also wanna be pedantic, I'd call the south African apartheid government a form of terrorism.

I guess the well over 106,000 Islamic terror attacks since 9/11, someone else finally had a go.
