Douglas Murray in Australia: “What If This Terror Attack Was Against You?”

Recorded live in Sydney at the Enmore Theatre on March 24, 2024, this in-depth conversation between Douglas Murray and Josh Szeps has taken on renewed urgency following the recent antisemitic terror attack in Australia.

Although this interview was recorded earlier this year, the questions raised — about terrorism, antisemitism, moral clarity, and how democratic societies respond to violence — are now unmistakably current.

Speaking directly to an Australian audience, Douglas Murray challenges a mindset common across the West: the belief that terrorism is always “somewhere else’s problem.” He asks a stark but necessary question — what if the kind of violence we so often contextualize, excuse, or distance ourselves from happened here?

Drawing on firsthand reporting from Israel after the October 7 attacks, Murray explains why nations cannot simply “absorb” terror, why calls for ceasefires without accountability fail to stop violence, and why free societies struggle to confront extremist ideologies that openly celebrate death. He explores how antisemitism increasingly disguises itself as moral neutrality, selective outrage, or misplaced empathy — and why Jews so often become the exception to universal standards of compassion.

This conversation also examines:

Why terrorism must be confronted, not rationalized

How antisemitism mutates in modern Western discourse

The moral difference between self-defense and terror

Why hostage-taking and mass civilian violence cannot be rewarded

The consequences of ignoring ideology in the name of peace

How democratic societies lose confidence in their right to defend themselves

Why Israel is judged by standards no other nation is expected to meet

Murray also places the Israel–Gaza war within a broader civilizational context, arguing that the West’s difficulty in naming evil, setting moral boundaries, and defending liberal values has consequences far beyond the Middle East. He warns that when violence is excused, minimized, or explained away — especially when Jews are the targets — it does not lead to peace, but to repetition.

In light of recent events in Australia, this discussion now resonates far beyond the theatre where it was recorded. It asks Australians, and all Western democracies, to reflect honestly on empathy, responsibility, security, and the cost of moral confusion.
