Before Israel even had the chance to respond to the attack, there were spontaneous demonstrations in major Western cities, celebrating the massacre. The grotesque nature of these rallies was horrifying enough, but even more unsettling was the complete lack of action from Western authorities. Governments stood by as violent, hate-filled protests erupted on their streets. Demonstrators chanted anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and genocidal slogans, some even calling for the destruction of entire nations, including Israel and the West.
These were not isolated events. In the months that followed, the protests only grew, turning into a weekly display of hate — and yet, little was done. Even as the demonstrations turned increasingly violent, with flags of enemy states burned and anti-Western sentiments voiced openly, authorities failed to act. Australia, for instance, saw no charges filed for hate speech in these protests, despite laws explicitly designed to address such behaviour. And the situation was no better in other Western nations. The silence from governments was deafening.
How did we get here? How have we come to a place where our streets are filled with hate, and our governments stand idly by, unable or unwilling to control the chaos? It does not take a genius to recognise that these demonstrations are being orchestrated by Islamists—adherents of an extreme form of Islam that is, at its core, at war with the West. The question then becomes: how did they get here, and why are we allowing them to thrive?
The Price of Tolerating the Intolerant
For years, Western countries have accepted migrants on the belief that they would contribute to the country’s economic and cultural life, living in harmony with existing citizens. The expectation has always been that migrants would assimilate into society, respecting the values of their new home. But as we’ve seen in recent years, some of these migrants—likely a small but vocal minority—have no intention of assimilating at all. Instead, they are working to transform the countries that welcomed them.
The truth is uncomfortable: some of these individuals seek to change the West. They are not just looking for a better life; they are actively trying to remake our societies into something more akin to the countries they left behind. They want a global caliphate. They want Sharia law. And, increasingly, they want to destroy the very values that the West was founded on: freedom, democracy, and secularism.
Why are we tolerating this? Why are we allowing the enemies of the West to freely enter and spread their destructive ideologies? Why has the West opened its doors to those who wish to undermine its very foundations?
The lack of effective vetting and the failure to ensure that those who enter the country are committed to respecting its values are glaring oversights by Western governments. They have allowed the sowing of dissent within their borders, to the detriment of their own citizens.
Australia’s Double Standard
In Australia, this problem is particularly evident. The Australian government has made two glaringly questionable decisions that put the nation at risk.
First, there is the decision to accept 3,000 refugees from Gaza — despite the fact that no other Arab country is willing to take them in. Why would Australia risk importing individuals from a region where many have deep ties to terrorist organisations? It’s a reckless gamble, one that the Australian public has not been given a clear explanation for. Why are we prioritising the relocation of people who may have links to Hamas when our own national security is at stake?
Second, Australia has recently repatriated a number of ISIS brides—women who voluntarily left Australia to join ISIS in its war against the West. These women married ISIS fighters, had children with them, and supported an organisation that was directly responsible for heinous acts of terror. After the defeat of ISIS, they sought to return to Australia, and astonishingly, the Australian government allowed them to come back. This is despite clear laws prohibiting the return of citizens who join foreign enemies.
The weak response from the Albanese government is deeply concerning. These women were part of an organisation bent on destroying the West, and yet the government has quietly allowed their return. The public has no transparency on the vetting process, and we don’t know how many have been brought back. Have they been charged? How thorough was the process? This failure to protect Australia from those who have supported our enemies undermines our national security.
The West Under Siege
It’s time to face the truth: radical Islam is a direct threat to Western societies. And the more we tolerate these ideologies within our borders, the more we risk losing the very freedoms that make the West what it is. These ideologies aren’t about peaceful coexistence; they are about revolution and subjugation. If we continue to turn a blind eye to the real threats within our societies, we are complicit in undermining the values that have long made our nations strong.
We cannot afford to remain silent in the face of this growing danger. It’s time for Western governments to take action — to ensure that they are actively vetting who enters their countries and not tolerating those who seek to destroy the societies they’ve chosen to inhabit.
Until we recognize the true threat posed by radical Islam and take decisive action, we will continue to watch our streets fill with hate and violence. The question is: how much longer will we let this go on before it’s too late?
