One example – Hours after the UN had retracted false claims that 14,000 Gazan children were at risk of dying of malnutrition and hours after the BBC had reported that the claims were incorrect, the ABC were still running the claims as a headline story and, as Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal told the Royal Commission, it was a week before they corrected it online.

Aboriginal Christian William Cooper was the originator or father of NAIDOC which developed from Aboriginal Sunday in 1940. Ps Norman has opened the Cairns commemorations in prayer for many years. This year he ran some art workshops.

Unmasking Deception: Hate Posing as Compassion & Justice

Beware of hate disguised as compassion, social justice, or truth. From antisemitism masked as anti-Zionism to ideological bias posing as reality, this deception blinds us. True moral clarity comes from seeking truth beyond preferred ideologies. Check out our Facebook page or youtube for video shorts. Social media links at bottom of newsletter

Antisemitism Support and Action

Barbara Miller is an author, historian, teacher, sociologist and former psychologist and has just founded a community on Skool.

After the Holocaust of 6 million Jews and others including gypsies, political opponents, homosexuals and the disabled, the world said “Never Again”. However we have seen it again on Oct 7 2023 where 1200 Isaelis were horrifically killed, at Bondi Beach Australia where 15 mostly Jews were massacred and incidents around the world with calls to Globalize the Intifada.

So we now have a situation where antisemitism has grown like a monster that is tearing apart the social fabric of many nations including Australia, destroying the multicultural dream with divisive rhetoric and hateful actions, challenging the values our peaceful democracies were built on and traumatising Jews in Israel and around the world who just want to live their lives in peace and contribute to a better world.

Not only that, antisemitism has morphed from the ancient fear of difference and envy and scapegoating of the Jews for the world’s problems to the race-based worldview of the Nazis during World War 2 that Jews were inferior to Aryans to the current variety.

We now have the shocking inversion of Jews being falsely accused as Nazis and antisemitism masquerading as acceptable, even proud antizionism or criticism of Israel’s policies and right to exist. Not content to genocide Jews they want to genocide Israel from the river to the sea. And globalize their war on Jews.

So now, instead of the Nazis, we have what has been called a “horseshoe” coalition of marxists on the left, fascists on the right and radical Islamists, with little in common except their hatred of Jews and their desire to brand and run the world in their image.

So I have developed this community to:
· Increase awareness and provide educational materials both historic and current
· Create a community where discussion and support can occur
· Provide comfort and support for the Jewish community and others who feel grief at the state of affairs we are in and
· Encourage and equip upstanders or people of principle who want to make a difference in dealing with this scourge of antisemitism. You can join

The World Turned Upside Down | Biblical Warning
by Ps Barbara Miller

The world has been turned upside down because society as a whole has rejected the moral code of our Judeo-Christian heritage and reversed it so they call good evil and evil good. And our society and cultural values have rejected the God of the Bible. We are in rebellion.

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Society has lost its moral compass with people redefining sin as acceptable behavior and rejecting moral truth. Are we living in an upside down world? This Christian message offers a fresh perspective on why society feels out of kilter today.

Making a Difference and What Did Jesus Mean About His Father’s Business? by Ps Norman Miller

Ps Norman Miller inspires us to be about our Father God’s business as Jesus was. Luke 2:49. Jesus taught in the synagogue when he was 12 years old and they were amazed at his wisdom. He grew in favour with God and people and we need to pray for favour. In fact we have God’s number Jeremiah 33:3 and need to call out to him in prayer. We need to be salt and light. We need to let our light shine and not hide it.

When God calls us, we need to be like the boy Samuel and many leaders in the Bible and say, “Here I am, Lord.” We need to make a difference as the King James version tells us in Jude 22 “And of some have compassion, making a difference.” We can make a difference just where we are and with what we already have. Reach out with acts of random kindness.

Christians Don’t Realize Their Citizenship in the Commonwealth of Israel by Ps Barbara Miller

The Bible includes several foundational passages that define the citizens, covenants, and expansion of this commonwealth of Israel to include non-Jewish believers. Key Biblical Passages Ephesians 2:11-13: Describes Gentile believers as formerly “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel” who are now brought near through the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:19 & 3-6: Explains that through the gospel, non-Jewish believers become “fellow citizens with the saints” and “fellow heirs” in one body. Romans 9:4: Lists the historic privileges belonging to Israel, including the covenants, the law, and the promises. Romans 11:17: Uses the analogy of a wild olive tree being “grafted in” to represent Gentile inclusion into the covenant promises. Understand the Commonwealth of Israel and its biblical significance. Learn how this foundational concept shapes your faith walk today.

“If I Survive” Interview with Holocaust Survivor Lena Goldstein by Author
Ps Barbara Miller

Find out more – https://barbara-miller-books.com/if-i-survive/

“If I Survive.” This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In ww2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide.

The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers and World War 11 (wwii). The Warsaw ghetto where the Nazis had imprisoned the Jews was being emptied as Hitler’s Final Solution to murder all of European Jewry was put into action. Lena kept thinking, “It’s my turn next.” As some Jews escaped Treblinka and exposed it as being a death camp not a labour camp, young men and women in the ghetto decided to make a stand

Indigenous Friends of Israel Seminar – ANZAC, Lighthorse & Indigenous & Jewish Connections

Speakers Barry Rodgers OAM Light Horse Assoc, Lance Waters, Indigenous descendant of ANZACs, Adam Dostalek, Filmmaker “Ride Like an ANZAC.”

Host Barbara Miller shared her and Norman’s experiences hosting tours to Israel a number of times visiting sites of World War 1 and 2 including Be’er Sheva and Tzemach. She highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of ANZAC servicemen. Barbara expressed concerns about the erosion of Australian values and the need to address ANZAC modules in schools rewritten by pro-Palestinian teachers to bring shame on our servicemen and Australia.

This meeting discussed the Australian Light Horse’s role in the 1917 Battle of Be’er Sheva and its significance in helping establish the modern State of Israel. Barry explained the characteristics of the Australian Light Horse and their mounted infantry tactics, while Lance shared his personal connection as a descendant of Indigenous Light Horse troopers who participated in a centenary commemoration in Israel. Elsie Amamoo, shared how she reenacted the charge of the light horse at the centenary to honour her great grandfather.

Adam presented his documentary film “Ride Like an Anzac,” which combined footage from both a commemorative bike ride and a horse reenactment of the historic charge, highlighting the previously overlooked Indigenous involvement in ANZAC forces. The discussion also covered the need for better recognition of Australian contributions in Israel and the importance of preserving these historical connections for future generations.

Topic: ANZAC, Lighthorse & Indigenous and Jewish Connections

Speakers: Barry Rodgers OAM, served in the ADF, was a Director and is now a life member of the Australian Light Horse Association. He organised the centennial celebration of the charge of Beersheba in Israel. In 2014, Barry was awarded an OAM for his ‘work with youth and military history’.

He laid wreaths for his grandfather at Beer Sheva and Semakh and has generations of servicemen in his family in the army, navy and airforce in many battles.

Adam Dostalke Jewish film director will speak about the film he directed “Ride Like an ANZAC”. It covered 2 historic events for the centenary of Be’er Sheva – the bike ride traversing the ANZAC trail to Be’er Sheva and the reenactment of the Australian light horsemen by descendants, Indigenous and others.

Raymond Finn was originally not available to join us but now is. The First Nations leader’s  great-grandfather Jack Ludgate fought at Gallipoli. Ray has worked with Indigenous students from Hermannsburg to ride 127km to Alice Springs to join the ANZAC commemoratons there on a yearly basis. Ray also rode with Indigenous and others in the reenactment of the Light Horse charge at Be’er Sheva for the centenary in 2017. 

TAKING WELLS OF BE’ER SHEVA & OPENING WAY TO JERUSALEM

By Barbara Miller, excerpt from 2010 report on ANZAC/Lighthorse Tour of Israel 

The taking of the wells of Be’er-Sheva (Beersheba) was critical for Allied victory in Palestine. The British had fought all day, the NZ Mounted Rifles and an Australian regiment took the high place of Tel es Sabe after heavy fighting. Still, all would have been lost had it not been for a daring charge by the Australian Lighthorsemen (about 800 of them) charging straight into the Turkish guns. They were not cavalry but mounted infantry and the daring charge just before nightfall took the Turks by surprise and they didn’t adjust the sights on their guns quickly enough.

Some Australians fought hand to hand in the trenches and others jumped the trenches and rode into the city to stop the Germans blowing up the wells. German planes were firing at them as they did their dangerous but successful charge. Still, the charge could not have happened without the British fighting all day and the New Zealanders taking the high ground, preventing them being mowed down.

This happened on Oct 31, 1917. On the same day, the British Parliament passed the Balfour Declaration in favour of the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The political will and the military victory went hand in hand. After fighting in other towns, Gen Allenby was able to walk into Jerusalem with his forces and accept the surrender of the Turks, thus ending 400 years of the Ottoman Empire, and nearly 1200 years of almost uninterrupted Islamic rule of Jerusalem. There had always been a Jewish presence in Jerusalem

Shabbat HaGodal, the Great Shabbat Before Passover by Ps Barbara Miller 28.3.26

While this video covers all aspects of the Passover Seder, it does so from a Christian viewpoint. The message explains the significance of Shabbat HaGadol (the Great Sabbath before Passover) and how it connects to Christian faith and biblical teaching.

Key points include: Biblical feasts (like Passover) are appointed times from God for connection, not just Jewish traditions. Christians can observe them as a meaningful way to remember God’s works. Passover and Easter are essentially the same feast, with Jesus (Yeshua) as the Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice brings freedom from sin, death, and spiritual bondage.

The story of the Exodus is paralleled with salvation through Jesus—just as the Israelites were freed from Egypt, believers are freed spiritually. Faith is essential: just as the Israelites trusted the lamb’s blood for protection, believers trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for salvation and security. The Passover Seder symbols (lamb, bitter herbs, matzah, wine, etc.) each represent aspects of suffering, redemption, and deliverance.

The message highlights God’s protection, redemption, and covenant, including the idea of applying “the blood of Jesus” spiritually for protection. It also touches on prophecy and end-times themes, including Elijah’s role, repentance, and the importance of being spiritually prepared. A strong emphasis is placed on salvation, repentance, and evangelism, encouraging people to turn to God while there is still time. In short: Passover is presented as a powerful reminder of God’s redemption—fulfilled in Jesus—calling believers to faith, repentance, and a deeper connection with God. Please see the store page for more videos that will bless you and are $5 AUD or less.

The message “When God Paints” emphasizes that God is the ultimate creator and artist, revealed through the beauty and complexity of the world. Nature—such as the sky, oceans, forests, animals, and colors—reflects God’s glory, creativity, and power. Humans, created in God’s image, are also given creativity and unique gifts, which should be used for purpose and growth.
