An undercurrent of extremist Islam exists within Australia’s Middle Eastern community. Anti-Semitic acts have become common in Australia, with more than 2,000 incidents in 2024 alone. They included 65 physical assaults and 600 cases of verbal abuse.

- The apparent normalization of jihadist-Islamist radicals, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, became frighteningly real when a video revealed that two Muslim immigrant nurses working in a Sydney hospital boasted that one of them had “killed Israeli patients” and the other had sworn to “let them die.”
- After local Sheikh Wesam Charkawi declared his support for the two nurses, “Pro-Palestinian teachers led dozens of schoolchildren in chants of ‘Allahu Akbar’ outside a western Sydney public school” in support. Charkawi, who is employed by the New South Wales Department of Education, was “ordered to work from home after defending the two nurses in an Instagram post.”
- As has occurred in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, or in many other countries in Europe, Islamic extremism in Australia is becoming brazen. When Salwan Momika, a Christian Iraqi immigrant who criticized jihad, was murdered in Sweden, the event was met online with applause.
- Egyptian journalist Mouna Al-Hilmi explains that Islamic jihadist ideology exists for the precise purpose of eradicating Western civilization through world-wide “jihad to establish a global Islamic caliphate.” Why, therefore, should Western nations be shocked when it becomes active and causes social chaos?
- Perhaps Australia’s Labour Party leaders might take cognizance of Netanyahu’s explanation of why the dangerous ideology of Palestinianism should be rejected, and act to protect their citizens from Islamist terror for generations to come?
The happy-go-lucky country of Australia, located at the far-end of the globe, away from the geopolitical turmoil in Europe and the Middle East, is a peaceful and pleasant place to live – or should be.
Most of the immigrants seem to have assimilated comfortably, enjoying generous benefits such as state-sponsored medical care, welfare packages, high wages, vast open spaces and low crime. Life is good in Australia, with thousands of applicants from all over the world keenly seeking a better life in the sun. Although with a relatively small population of some 25 million, four of its cities are currently rated among the world’s top 20 most livable.
