As early as 1974, the Islamist agenda to dominate Western nations was disclosed by Algeria’s Houari Boumedienne in his speech to the United Nations: “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Australia’s decision to recognize a fictitious Palestinian state, along with France, Britain and Canada, totally contravenes the current requirements of international law for nations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Australian government apparently believes that Islamophobia adversely\u00a0affects<\/a>\u00a0social cohesion. What it has yet to comprehend is that the concept of Islamophobia is a two-edged sword, sometimes employed to\u00a0suppress<\/a>\u00a0genuine criticism of some of the tenets of Islam, but also to neutralize any criticism of the religion before it can even begin.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Hamas is not just at war with Israel. It is at war with Jews, Christians, and the very foundations of civilization itself…. This is not politics, this is a religious war. Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam. If the world does not understand this, everyone will pay the price.”\u2014 Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The hardest decision any leader has to make is to thwart a danger before it fully materializes.” \u2014 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/em><\/p>\n

Europe’s weak leaders have failed in this regard, resulting in a catastrophic social crisis for their nations. The question is whether or not Australia will follow a similar course of submission, a recipe for losing the West.<\/em><\/p>\n

In accordance with a policy of purported\u00a0social cohesion<\/a>\u00a0and ostensibly to\u00a0prevent<\/a>\u00a0“Islamophobia,” Australia’s Labor Party government, primarily represented by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, perturbingly appear to be minimizing the\u00a0malignant<\/a>, often\u00a0violent<\/a>\u00a0Jew-hatred now occurring in the major cities of Australia.<\/em><\/p>\n

While many acts of terror are being perpetrated against the Jewish community (here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>), the Australian government has been fast-tracking\u00a0hundreds<\/a>\u00a0of potentially dangerous\u00a0Palestinians<\/a>\u00a0into the country as refugees\u00a0without<\/a>\u00a0proper vetting.<\/em><\/p>\n

The only country really suited to properly vetting Palestinians and potential jihadist radicals would be Israel. Israeli representatives however, are regarded almost as “personae non gratae” in Australian these days. Some have actually been\u00a0barred<\/a>\u00a0entry.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Muslim-majority countries, particularly Israel’s neighbours Egypt and Jordan, have refused to accept their Palestinian “brothers” as refugees. Would anyone care to ask why?<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan’s King Abdullah II was reported\u00a0saying<\/a>, “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt.” According to the Associated Press:<\/em><\/p>\n

“[Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah] El-Sissi also said a mass exodus would risk bringing militants into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, from where they might launch attacks on Israel, endangering the two countries’ 40-year-old peace treaty.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Could Muslim countries possibly be concerned about importing jihadists into their countries? Western nations, including Australia, for some reason seem not share these concerns. At the same time, of course by sheer coincidence, widespread\u00a0anti-Semitic acts<\/a>\u00a0are being abundantly well-documented.<\/em><\/p>\n

Australia’s government has also been accused of executing a surreptitious\u00a0plan<\/a>\u00a0to accept radical Islamic “ISIS brides” into the country. Influencer Scott Driscoll\u00a0wrote<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s absolutely treacherous that any Australian government claiming to have the interests of Australians, our values or our national security would ever let these ‘ISIS brides’ anywhere near Australia ever again! Our country needs to stop being used as some sort of sick looney-left social experiment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, apparently agreed,\u00a0explaining<\/a>\u00a0that ISIS brides who abandoned Australia have “no moral right to come back.”<\/em><\/p>\n

There were early warning signs of the Australian government’s casual attitude towards growing Jew-hate, despite the\u00a0horrendous<\/a>\u00a0events on October 7, 2023. On that day, Hamas and Palestinians invaded peaceful communities in Israel and slaughtered nearly everyone they came across \u2013 men, women, children, babies \u2013 torturing, raping, burning and beheading, while dragging hostages off to the dungeon tunnels of Gaza as booty for further leverage and abuse.<\/em><\/p>\n

A few weeks thereafter, the Biden administration\u00a0produced<\/a>\u00a0a document condemning Jew-hatred, and signed by 36 countries. The November 2023\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0referred to Hamas’s assault as “barbaric.” When the US State Department’s special envoy on anti-Semitism, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, urged the Australian government to sign the\u00a0statement<\/a>, it\u00a0refused<\/a>\u00a0to so.<\/em><\/p>\n

This August, in the Trump administration, spokesman Tammy Bruce\u00a0commented<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“It was a huge sign that even though the United States pushed them to sign onto this statement\u2014it’s not like we are committing them to anything – they refused. It’s like the top country that should be on there, is not on there.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It was a sorry indictment of Australia’s leftist government.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is quite understandable, therefore, that at a conference on antisemitism this month in Gold Coast, child Holocaust survivor Suzi Smeed scathingly\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0the Albanese government as an “enemy of the Jews”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Subsequent to the arrival in Australia of countless Muslim migrants and the October 7th<\/sup>\u00a0massacre, vocal pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel demonstrations have escalated. This is no coincidence,\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0David May of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies; Australia’s government is busy “reversing decades of balanced policy on Israel.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Co-opting iconic public settings, such as Sydney’s\u00a0Opera House<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0Harbour Bridge<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Bondi<\/a>\u00a0Beach,\u00a0tens of thousands<\/a>\u00a0of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, supported by masses of “far-leftists,” brought attention to Australia’s escalating Jew-hate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, at a July 2025\u00a0demonstration<\/a>\u00a0outside Parliament in Canberra, some radical leftist Green party Senators “gathered alongside anti-Israel activists in a wild protest, with demonstrators displaying Hitler posters.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry\u00a0responded<\/a>\u00a0to this condemnation of Israel by issuing a statement which read:<\/em><\/p>\n

“All statements and all claims should be directed at the only party responsible for the lack of a deal for the release of hostages and a ceasefire: Hamas, which started this war and is prolonging it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Australian government did not comment on the protest, nor on the public display of Nazi-themed posters there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Iranian-born commentator Pouria Mehrani,\u00a0stated<\/a>\u00a0that the protests against Israel, and in favour of Hamas and other murderous jihadists, “thrive on blind emotion… and Left-leaning groups capitalize on such emotions to advance their agendas.” The upshot, he\u00a0said<\/a>, is that their “moral bankruptcy is on parade.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The silent majority of Australians, seeming finally to have had enough of this nonsense, organized in major cities well-attended demonstrations\u00a0supporting<\/a>\u00a0Australia and its traditional Western values.<\/em><\/p>\n

Australia’s government did manage to criticize the event in Sydney by\u00a0claiming<\/a>\u00a0it was run by neo-Nazis. Labor Minister Murray Watt\u00a0said<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“We absolutely condemn the March for Australia rally that’s going on today. It is not about increasing social harmony… We don’t support rallies like this that are about spreading hate and that are about dividing our community.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet the same government\u00a0permitted<\/a>\u00a0a anti-Israel n march across Sydney Harbour Bridge\u00a0attended<\/a>\u00a0by 90,000 people, many indicating support for terror and, by deduction, endorsing Jew-hatred.<\/em><\/p>\n

On September 7, anti-Israel demonstrators\u00a0clashed<\/a>\u00a0with supporters of Israel at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, with the police intervening several times. Rabbi Yossi Friedman, who posted footage of a brawl in which police can be seen separating protesters,\u00a0commented<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“They have come to Bondi Beach where there’s a lot of Jewish people, specifically they’ve come here to bring their hate.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Gregory, CEO of the Australian Jewish Association\u00a0elaborated<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“Bondi is home to many synagogues, Kosher restaurants and Jewish businesses, some of which have been targeted in recent antisemitic incidents. With more than 100 beaches across Sydney, the decision to choose Bondi was calculated to cause division and disturbance.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However, these type of acts should not surprise anyone. After all, it was inevitable that Jew-hate would filter down, despite the country’s supposed emphasis on\u00a0social<\/a>\u00a0cohesion. Islamism is a hate-driven ideology, and the more members of an extremist Islamic group that are imported into a country, the more attacks on Jews will occur.<\/em><\/p>\n

As early as 1974, the Islamist agenda to dominate Western nations was\u00a0disclosed<\/a>\u00a0by Algeria’s Houari Boumedienne in his\u00a0speech<\/a>\u00a0to the United Nations:<\/em><\/p>\n

“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u00a0strategy<\/a>\u00a0also applies to Australia, whose na\u00efve policies allow significant immigration from Islamist war zones. Despite what the government believes, most of these immigrants do not intend to integrate, assimilate or contribute to social cohesion \u2013 as the well-attended marches against Israel and Jews reveal. Many newcomers are ideological enemies of the Western democratic tradition. Their plan, called a\u00a0hijrah<\/a>\u00a0(migration), is to share their gift of Islam with open societies through imposition of Sharia law, to export Islam worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who\u00a0pointed<\/a>\u00a0out: “When enemies vow to destroy you, believe them.” Australia’s Labor government has yet to grasp this statement.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a result, Australia’s emphasis on social cohesion is clearly detached from reality. It is a fantasy. It might have been attainable to some degree prior to the mass arrival of foreigners hostile to the values of the West. Australia’s\u00a0decision<\/a>\u00a0to recognize a fictitious Palestinian state, along with France, Britain and Canada, totally\u00a0contravenes<\/a>\u00a0the current requirements of international law for nations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Australian government apparently believes that Islamophobia adversely\u00a0affects<\/a>\u00a0social cohesion. What it has yet to comprehend is that the concept of Islamophobia is a two-edged sword, sometimes employed to\u00a0suppress<\/a>\u00a0genuine criticism of some of the tenets of Islam, but also to neutralize any criticism of the religion before it can even begin. That is likely why some instances of Jew-hate are conveniently\u00a0overlooked<\/a>\u00a0or minimized. With its nuanced\u00a0definition<\/a>, and the idea of Islamophobia has been highly successful in preventing pushback against Islamism in the West.<\/em><\/p>\n

According<\/a>\u00a0to US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, Australia appeared more concerned about appointing a special\u00a0envoy<\/a>\u00a0to counter\u00a0Islamophobia<\/a>\u00a0than against anti-Semitism, despite the fact that Jews are far\u00a0more likely<\/a>\u00a0to experience prejudice than Muslims. The fact is that no incidents have been recorded in Australia of Muslims facing attacks on the scale that Jews have experienced — no\u00a0firebomb attacks<\/a>\u00a0against mosques and no mass demonstrations against Muslims for being Muslim.<\/em><\/p>\n

Given the present circumstances, the conclusion is that the Australian government’s utopian social cohesion policy is simply cowardly and unrealistic. The policy innocently assumes that most residents in Australia wish to adhere to Western values as derived from a classic liberal democratic tradition — an open society with entrenched freedoms — when at present that clearly does not seem to be what is taking place before their eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many Muslims seem to prefer not to assimilate or abide by Western social norms; rather they appear to expect that their new countries, which they have come to by choice, should conform to them, evidently based on a doctrinal assumption that Islam is the only true religion (as\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>) and should therefore have supremacy over all others.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef,\u00a0explains<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

“Hamas is not just at war with Israel. It is at war with Jews, Christians, and the very foundations of civilization itself… This is not politics, this is a religious war. Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam. If the world does not understand this, everyone will pay the price.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It is past time that Australia’s government wake up to the reality of Jew-hating Islamists and their supporters in their midst, and apply appropriate remedial action. Failing that, peaceful Australia will soon experience the increasing social turmoil occurring in Europe and UK. Australians will unfortunately pay a heavy price for their leftist-socialist government’s feckless and destructive policies.<\/em><\/p>\n

Netanyahu has said, “The hardest decision any leader has to make is to thwart a danger before it fully materializes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Europe’s weak leaders have failed in this regard, resulting in a catastrophic social crisis for their nations. The question is whether or not Australia will follow a similar course of submission, a recipe for losing the West.<\/em><\/p>\n
