The December 4th 2005, of the young people of Lebanese origin exploited football the beach of Cronulla when the coastguards their said to leave because they disturbed the plagists. The answer of the young people was Sortez our beach, it is ours, it is with us!!! . Little time after two or three coastguards was attacked and one showed the Libanais young people, although the police force stated to think that there is no racial cause with these violences.
The tension goes up
During the week of the December 5th, the tension goes up. Sendings of textos SMS circulate between the Australian young people (Aussies), claiming a revenge against the Lebanese one ( lebs or wogs in the young people to designate the not-english-speaking pejoratively).
