Police have charged 20 people with offences relating to the December 11 Cronulla riot, during which people of Middle Eastern descent were chased and attacked.

Middle Eastern youths carried out violent revenge attacks at Cronulla, Maroubra and Brighton-le-Sands in response to the riot.

Hadi Khawaja, 24, of Peakhurst, was last week jailed for three months for burning an Australian flag stolen from the Brighton RSL Club.

NB: One person with a Middle Eastern name arrested, for arson, petty theft, or vandalism. In the wake of the Cronulla riot, one church was burnt down, another had its Christmas services interrupted by gun-wielding thugs making threats, and in other instances, Lebanese thugs were seen openly carrying guns.

Furthermore, if anything was a "revenge attack", it was the Cronulla riot. The people were sick of being assaulted and abused by Muslims at the beach, then watching the police do nothing at all about it. There's no doubt that the people who committed violent acts should be punished, but that should apply equally.
