It's A Chernobyl Event For Australian Multiculturalism

The Chernobyl Event

Let’s just be honest here: the Sydney nurses scandal is a Chernobyl moment for Australian multiculturalism.

A ‘‘Chernobyl moment’’ takes place when citizens can no longer reconcile official state-approved orthodoxy with actual reality.

The past couple Australian Prime Ministers have all claimed while in office that Australia is ‘‘the most successful multicultural society on Earth.’’

Now we have two Islamist healthcare officials in the employ of the Australian state recording themselves at work threatening to murder Jewish patients under their care.

The claim that we are the most successful multicultural society on Earth is utterly laughable now.

It’s simply impossible to reconcile with the reality of nightly Sydney and Melbourne firebombing attacks against Jewish synagogues, businesses and preschools.

The constant drumbeat of anti-Semitic terror attacks has occurred against the backdrop of weekly jihadist street marches calling for the destruction of Australia.

Only a few weeks ago Sydney police discovered a truck bombing plot designed to murder hundreds of Australian Jews.

Now we sit and contemplate a fresh outrage: extremist nurses threatening to kill Jews in Australian hospitals.

Ahmad ‘Rashad’ Nadir only became a citizen in 2020. Somehow he felt confident enough to boast on camera: ‘‘You have no idea how many Zionist dogs came to this hospital, and I sent them to Hell. I literally sent them to Hell.”

He accompanied these lovely words with a throat slitting gesture to emphasise homicidal intent.

Ahmad only came to Australia as a 12 year old refugee from Afghanistan. The state broadcaster previously held him up as a multicultural success story, featuring him in an SBS News series on disadvantaged youth aspiring to become doctors. His story was said to have represented ‘’the power of hope, help, and love.’’

All this ‘‘hope, help and love’’ apparently culminated in arrogant, gleeful boasts to murder Jews.

I truly wish this were not the case. It’s evidently a disastrous look for our humanitarian refugee resettlement program - there’s simply no denying this. But Ahmad chose to make this decision with not a care in the world for the public backlash that might result. What are we supposed to do?

The other nurse, a young woman by the name of Sarah Abu Lebdeh, smiled while boasting: ‘‘I won't treat them - I will kill them.’’

When journalists later confronted her family members outside her Sydney home, an aggressive male relative physically assaulted a reporter and stole his phone.

You could not script a more disastrous indictment of the current state of Australian multiculturalism.

One question I keep coming back to is this: Why did these two extremists feel so confident and self-assured in declaring their intent to kill other Australians while sitting at their workplace wearing New South Wales Health scrubs?

What person in their right mind would do this - knowing it would result in the total destruction of their career and permanent blacklisting from the profession?

When you observe the cheap smirk on Ahmad’s mug throughout the exchange, it’s immediately clear that he was playing up a tough guy act to impress the hijabi princess seated next to him.

This forces me to ask: In what other cultural setting in Australia would a young professional employee of the state try to impress a female colleague by openly threatening to murder minority groups on camera?

This mindset, this behaviour - it is just totally alien to contemporary Australian society.

Someone on Twitter observed: ‘‘Imagine the cultural environment these guys have been living in to think that they could get away with saying this with their faces showing.’’

It’s pretty obvious that a significant number of nurses and doctors must talk like this to each other at Bankstown Hospital.

The easy nonchalance with which they promised to murder Jews suggests that they have grown up in an environment where speech like this is considered normal. This is the result of growing up in segregated communities with little to no contact with non-Islamists.

All this ultimately begs the question: Why are we handing out citizenship to individuals who want to murder other Australians on racial lines?

Why would any country do this unless it is intent on national suicide?

This is an earth shattering event for Australian multiculturalism. Members of a historically persecuted group now find themselves threatened with physical elimination and murder in Australia by educated, successful migrants working in the healthcare industry.

Claire Lehmann of Quillette is right: ‘‘The sight of nurses in NSW government uniform declaring murderous intent represents a fundamental break in the social compact … For the first time in our history, Australians will have to consider the ethnic and political beliefs of their healthcare workers.’’

Do our political class care?

My only workable theory-of-mind model for Anthony Albanese’s brain right now is that he must think that the Balkan civil wars of the 1990s represent a beautiful model of inter-ethnic harmony and diversity.

Gandhi is said to have once been asked what he thought about Western civilisation. His reply was simple: “I think it would be a very good idea.”

In the very same vein I would like to declare that I indeed think that Australian multiculturalism would be very nice if we lived in a universe where it existed.

But we don’t have multiculturalism in this country.

What we have instead is sectarianism: the complete disintegration of the social fabric and the polarisation of the nation along racial and religious lines as in places like Lebanon or the former Yugoslavia.

No Contrition, No Remorse

I’ve seen no contrition or sense of introspection on the part of the pro-Palestine activist community in the wake of this latest outrage.

One Path Network - an Australian Islamist media outlet funded in part through donations by Islamist Senator Fatima Payman - produced a video defending the two Islamist nurses in Sydney who threatened to kill Jews under their care.

Islamist extremist group Hizb Ut Tahrir - a group banned in the UK and most Arab countries as a terrorist group - also used an Australian based front page ‘‘Stand For Palestine Aus’’ to explicitly defend the two Sydney nurses, arguing that they were simply ‘‘mocking Zionists online while on their break.’’ They complained that the Australian media only singled them out due to Islamophobic bias.

The brother of Sarah Abu Lebdeh defended her comments, arguing that she had been ‘‘provoked.’’ This became a constant theme repeated by members of the Palestinian activist community.

Ramia A. Sultan - better known online as ‘‘The Hijabi Lawyer’’ defended the two nurses, arguing that the true victims were Australian Muslims who faced being ‘‘entrapped’’ and victimised by Islamophobic media.

Lebanese Muslim Association Secretary Gamel Kheir refused to condemn the nurses as individuals. He claimed that politicians and the media were using this video for political mileage: ‘‘I won’t condemn them as individuals. Has anybody checked in on their mental health?”

Have any Australian Muslim community leaders spoken out forcefully against the two Islamist nurses who threatened to kill Jews under their care?

A day has passed since the video went viral - the Australian National Imams Council is still yet to forcefully denounce the Islamist nurses in West Sydney who threatened to murder Jews under their care. Their last press release condemns Trump and Gaza.

Now might be a good time for Australian Muslim religious leaders to come out and say: “We strongly condemn the video showing two Islamist nurses threatening to murder Australian Jews under their care.”

But we haven’t seen that yet.

Ahmad ‘Rashad’ Nadir told the press that this was all just a horrible misunderstanding - just a joke gone wrong.

I don’t think it’s a funny ‘’joke’’ for a nurse to record themselves at a hospital in Australia threatening to murder Jews.

I actually want to see people who do things like this deported.

Nixon Goes To China

You may have heard the famous political maxim: ‘‘Only a Nixon can go to China.’’

The meaning is simple: only a politician with Richard Nixon’s decades-long record as a strident anti-communist hawk could visit Beijing at the height of the Cold War to meet with Mao Zedong and open a new front in the Cold War against the Soviet Union.

Only Nixon had the necessary political cover to shield against domestic criticism for a move that ordinarily would have been portrayed as weakness and appeasement.

Perhaps this is my ‘‘Nixon goes to China’’ moment.

If Peter Dutton says that Australian multiculturalism has failed, it’s something people expect from him.

But when I say that this is a Chernobyl tier disaster for Australian multiculturalism, I say this as somebody who once marched at pro-refugee rallies and volunteered to tutor refugee students at university.

I say this as somebody with a six year record advocating for the rights of persecuted minority groups like Tibetans and Uyghur Muslims.

Hell, at the last Australian election, my ticket even included the youngest Muslim Australian female candidates in Australian political history.

I grew up in progressive activist spaces and I still favour a system that encourages pluralism and diversity in the name of individual freedom.

But we can’t just pretend everything is normal and fine with Australian multiculturalism when new migrants feel they have impunity to threaten and murder other Australians based on their race and religion.

All the warning signs are flashing red: our current system is comprehensively failing.

We Need Politicians To Explicitly Denounce Islamist Anti-Semitism

The Australian Muslim community has a huge anti-Semitism problem.

I am still waiting for a single Australian politician to recognise this basic fact.

We aren’t going to address this problem until we acknowledge it.

The only time I’ve ever seen an Australian healthcare professional say on camera that they would murder somebody under their care for their race was an Afghan refugee guy talking about murdering Jews.

Anti-Semitism has unfortunately always existed in Australia - this is a sad reality underscored by the existence of homegrown neo-Nazi cults.

But there are different kinds of anti-Semitism and the exact kind we saw here was Islamist anti-Semitism.

This virulent form of anti-Semitism never previously existed in Australia. It only exists in Australia because we made a choice to allow it into our country for some unknown, inexplicable reason.

I don’t think a single MP within the Australian Labor government has spoken out against Islamist anti-Semitism over the past 16 months.

The two nurses in West Sydney who said they wanted to kill Jews under their care were not white supremacists - they were Islamists.

But major party politicians won’t acknowledge this fact because they fear being called racist. They fear losing votes in Western Sydney and this fear apparently trumps any desire to protect minority groups in Australian society from Islamist supremacist fascists.

Labor Left politician Mark Butler MP made a vague, unhelpful post about how terrible he felt in the face of people potentially not receiving care in Australian hospitals based on their racial identity.

No, sorry Mark: the radical Islamist nurses didn’t just say they wouldn’t care for Jews. They straight up said they would murder Jews in their hospital beds.

This kind of mealy-mouthed government statement is exactly the problem. No one in mainstream Australian politics will ever call out Islamist anti-Semitism or Islamist extremism on its own terms.

The Prime Minister could only find it within himself to denounce ‘‘individuals’’ involved in ‘‘anti-Semitic acts.’’

Why is there a full code of silence omertà system in place when it comes to incidents of Islamist hatred towards Jews in this country?

When Neo-Nazis attack Australian Jews, every Australian politician immediately and explicitly denounces Nazi anti-Semitism.

When Islamist extremists attack Australian Jews, Australian politicians can only offer vague platitudes about “individual anti-Semitic acts.”

Even the conservative opposition leader Peter Dutton won’t explicitly denounce Islamist extremism as the major force driving anti-Semitism in Australia.

What explains this Omertà in Australian politics?

Losing Our Country

I just want to see the culture that I grew up with preserved.

I don’t want to have to worry about rising Islamic extremism in Australia or foreign interference by the CCP.

I don’t want to have to worry that my children will grow up in a completely unrecognisable Australia divided on sectarian religious and ethnic lines.

I don’t want to worry about struggling to afford a home due to infinity migration.

I just want to live.

I don’t have to be a billionaire or world king. I just want a small patch of land that’s mine. A middle class home in the suburbs with a nice family and a cute dog.

Is this radical? Is this “right wing”?

To just want a country to call your own? A small place in the world that’s yours?

It’s my country. It’s the only home I have ever known.

I just want Australia to exist when I am older. I don’t want this country to disintegrate. I want my grandchildren to live in the Australia I grew up in.

I’m 25 and I sincerely fear that I might live to see the end of this country.

We have to do something. We have to stop this slide to ruin.

One man made an amazing post about what this all meant for Australia.

Matthew Berry wrote: ‘‘My grandad was in the 8th Army. Was at El Alamein, saw the Holy Land, then up through Italy and Monte Cassino... then turned 26 days after the 8th liberated Bergen Belsen. In the late 1970s he got on the jars with dad one night and told him about it. Didn't hold back.

I'll tell my kids once they're old enough. I remember when dad told me. I was sick. The level of human depravity and horror.

Thirty thousand people died in the weeks and months following, they were so broken that trying to digest food was too much. Just too far gone. After the war they moved to Australia and settled in a little forestry town in Gippsland.

The country that generation built, culturally and literally, feels like it is hanging by a thread. I have never felt so sick in my life.

I've seen shit as a firefighter and nothing has made me feel like this. There's no need to ask the rhetorical question, how did it come to this? The children of the generation which liberated the Jews from those camps trashed the cultural foundations their parents built on.

A cult of self gratification and knowing better then everyone had come before. Scorching their British Christian heritage, and falling in love with anything that told them you have no duty beyond self-gratification. None. Life is all about you. Then they decided that a society's culture doesn't matter.

Now the great-grandkids of that generation that stood in the ruins of Europe and defeated the greatest enemy Christendom has ever known, are growing up in a cultural ruin. The old enemy's ideological tenets *in their hospitals.* FOR SHAME.’’

I completely agree.

In this way I have become slightly more conservative - my greatest political concern right now is trying to preserve the Western cultural heritage that I grew up with. It’s hanging by a thread now and I fear the prospect of complete disintegration.

Multiculturalism and Assimilation

My definition of multiculturalism is Greek Australians celebrating Greek Easter with coloured eggs. It doesn’t extend to insane mentally ill jihadists threatening to murder Jews in Australian hospitals.

I grew up as a fourth-generation migrant on my Mum’s side and third-generation migrant on my Dad’s side.

My grandmother Yiayia Hana is buried in a plot in a Melbourne cemetery next to my great-grandparents who arrived in this country more than seventy years ago.

We have four generations of family history in Australia now. Yet even I still feel a sense of gratitude to this country for taking us in and welcoming us and giving us the chance of a better life. I have a sense of humility about this - Australia chose to welcome us in as migrants, so we should give back to this country as a way of saying thank you.

Never in a million years could I ever think to act in the arrogant ways of some of these extremist new migrants: These people will sit through their citizenship ceremony on a Tuesday and by Wednesday they will already be calling for the mass murder of ethnic enemies in Australia based on Old World blood feuds.

What happened to the concept of assimilation and integration?

I feel bilked. As a five or six year old kid, I made a conscious choice that I wanted to be fully Australian.

So I refused to go to Greek dancing classes, refused to learn the Greek language. Maybe this is actually sad. I regret it now - I wish I had learned Greek.

But I was conscious of the fact that we lived in a new country. I wanted to be part of it.

And the truth is that this is my only home, the only country I’ve ever known. I would feel like a foreigner in Cyprus because I made a conscious decision as a young child that I wanted to be Australian and only Australian.

You don’t see me going around trying to fight Turkish Australians about Erdogan and the Hagia Sofia mosque.

So why is it then that raving jihadist lunatics can set up shop in West Sydney and preach for the total and complete annihilation of Australia and the democratic Australian way of life with total and complete impunity?

You have to leave Old World troubles behind. You’re in a new country. You have to become part of Australia.

Somewhere along the way we lost the idea of assimilation and integration. It literally became a dirty word on the left - a racist concept.

But I insist upon bringing back assimilation and integration. I just completely, totally insist upon it with no exceptions.

I think it is great for people to speak a second language at home and celebrate cultural festivals from their home country. I think it is great for them to celebrate their cuisine and their history.

But we need a cohesive, common culture in Australian public life. We need to agree on the fundamentals: Australia is a Western, democratic country that rejects jihadism and all other forms of imported hate ideology which seek to split people up by race and religion.

I view the inculcation of civic nationalism as a bulwark against the dangers of tribalism and racism.

We have a situation in Australia where we have more than 200 different languages and cultures in each major city.

If we constantly tell everybody that they should be defined by their racial or religious background in opposition to every other group, eventually we will just get tribalism, sectarianism, violence.

This is just basic common sense. If there is no unifying force to bind people together then we will just have the worst sectarianism in the history of the world. We need a unifying, common culture that unites Australians from all backgrounds and walks of life.

The Paradox of Tolerance

I do not want my country to commit suicide. I do not want liberal democracy to commit suicide.

I believe that we need to consider foreign imported extremism through the lens of Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance. Popper argued that in order to maintain a tolerant society we must remain intolerant of those who wish to destroy tolerance.

Liberal democracies essentially must be able to protect themselves from foreign nationals abusing liberal democratic freedoms to support political forces which ultimately want to annihilate and destroy liberal freedoms. This should extend to communists, fascists AND jihadists.

France recently deported a hate preacher within 24 hours of him delivering a sermon which called the French state “demonic.” He had been in France for 38 years and they deported him within 24 hours of his hate sermon.

This must be our model.

Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance.

If we want to maintain tolerant, liberal and open societies in the democratic West, we have to shut down communists and fascists and completely collapse Islamist political networks.

Removal From Society

This is what it all ultimately comes down to.

What is the point of Australian citizenship if we give out citizenship to genocidal extremists who hate us?

Australia didn’t have jihadist ideologues 50 or 60 years ago. So it’s an imported hate ideology that is foreign to this country. It therefore stands to reason that we could simply decide not to allow it into our country.

The only way we can have a functioning multicultural society in Australia without collapsing into violent sectarianism is to heavily crack down on extremist behavior.

We need vetting. People shouldn’t be granted citizenship if they are going to continue to harbour supremacist views towards other minority groups.

New citizens should pledge their primary loyalty to Australia and the preservation of Australia’s democratic way of life. If they break this pledge, they should be deported.

This is a basic, necessary step for the survival of a pluralistic, democratic Australia.

In the wake of ISIS atrocities throughout the Middle East, Australia generously took in Yazidi genocide survivors as refugees. Why on Earth do we insist that we must also harbor their oppressors and persecutors so that they can be tracked down and killed even here? This is madness, insanity, suicidal empathy.

I genuinely believe anybody can become Australian through the hard work of assimilation.

But if you refuse to assimilate and hate Australia and hold foreign extremist ideological beliefs, what makes you Australian? The fact that you can spout ISIS ideology with an Australian accent? Magic dirt?

I fear that our political and media classes are sleepwalking into the abyss.

It is time to wake up.
