Sneako is deported from Australia

By NICHOLAS COMINO, POLITICAL REPORTER, AUSTRALIA Published: 03:00, 6 May 2026 | Updated: 03:22, 6 May 2026 A controversial US influencer who once praised Hitler has been removed from Australia. Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, arrived in the country earlier this week. The far-right provocateur has been linked to the 'manosphere,' a subculture known for promoting misogynistic views, and previously claimed that people were too afraid to say 'Hitler had aura' because they might lose their jobs. His visit sparked public outrage, with more than 9000 people signing a petition calling for his removal. It's understood that his visa was cancelled on Tuesday evening and he has since been deported. In footage from his visit to Sydney on Tuesday, Sneako went to Sydney Zoo at Bungarribee where he interacted with animals and used the term 'goyim' to describe them. The word is commonly used to refer to non‑Jews, and antisemitism watchdogs have flagged its use in derogatory contexts. He was permanently banned from YouTube in 2022 for what the platform described as 'extreme hateful conduct,' and has since faced restrictions on Twitch, TikTok and other major platforms. Sneako (pictured) has had his visa to Australia cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs Earlier this year, Sneako sparked fresh outrage after footage emerged showing him leading a crowd in New York City as they chanted slogans tied to the 7th‑century Battle of Khaybar, language widely condemned by Jewish groups as inciting violence. Videos shared online show the controversial streamer shouting, 'Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud!' while the crowd echoed the chant. The phrase translates to, 'Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!' The slogan refers to a historic battle between Muslim forces and Jewish tribes but has since been adopted by extremist groups in modern times as a direct threat against Jews. The backlash escalated further in January when videos surfaced placing Sneako at a nightclub alongside influencer Andrew Tate and self‑proclaimed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, as Kanye West's song Heil Hitler played inside the venue. Footage showed Sneako singing along while others in the group performed Nazi salutes, scenes that drew immediate condemnation from Jewish organisations. The nightclub later apologised publicly and banned those involved for life. The Coalition called for his visa to be cancelled on Monday.   Opposition home affairs spokesman Jonno Duniam said the incident pointed to deeper failures within the Department of Home Affairs. Sneako (right) shared a video in Western Sydney with former NRL star Sonny Bill Williams (left)  'The idea that we're letting in the people that we are, from Mizanur Rahman Azhari and Shaykh Ahmadullah and now this Sneako, shows what happens when visa integrity is not taken seriously,' he told Sky News. 'If no one inside the department is doing the work required to ensure we're letting in the right people, then of course we end up in this situation.' The comments below have not been moderated.
