May God bless you and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate it!
We are sorry it has been such a heartbreaking time with the Bondi Beach Massacre. We did not plan to put out another newsletter before the end of the year but wanted to express our heartfelt condolences to our Jewish readers. If we can help in any way, please let us know.
PRESS RELEASE – Albanese and Wong provided the ammunition for the massacre at Bondi 16.12.25
“PM Albanese didn’t fire the guns at Bondi Beach but he and Foreign Minister Penny Wong provided the ammunition with their continual criticism of Israel since Oct 7 even before Israel responded to the horrific attack by Hamas and Gazans where 1200 Jews and others were slaughtered,” said Norman and Barbara Miller, Co-founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International.
“Now we have 15 people dead and many still in hospital, six of them in a critical condition including children and police. We have two beloved Rabbis, a Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl called Matilda among those dead and a survivor of Oct 7 injured. While it had been predicted by the Jewish community, it was a shock and has been very traumatic for them as they are simply not safe in Australia to our shame.
“The government’s criticism of Israel and their inaction against the following – the rhetoric of radical Islamic hate preachers calling for jihad, the taking over of streets in major capital cities every weekend for over two years by pro-Palestinians inciting genocide with chants of “From the River to the Sea” and carrying terrorist flags, antisemitic attacks on synagogues, homes, cars, businesses and a child care centre, doxxing and cancelling of Jewish creatives, camps and intimidation of Jewish students and lecturers at universities etc. – has given social licence to antisemitism and normalised it. There has been little or no consequence.
“Warnings by the Jewish community and ASIO have been ignored. The recommendations of the Sky News/Executive Council of Australian Jewry Antisemitism Summit in Sydney in February which we attended have been ignored. Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal’s report with a detailed plan of action has been ignored. Albo, Wong and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke have no political will to tackle antisemitism as it might upset the government’s Muslim voting base.
“Our hearts grieve with the Jewish community who have been model citizens of Australia and deserve protection, respect and friendship. We thank all those who rushed in to help on Sunday night. We hope this will be a turning point for serious action on antisemitism and blood should not have had to flow to bring it. Gun reform alone will not cut it.
“We would like to see Albo change from being a Chamberlain who appeased Hitler to a Churchill who took the fight to Hitler ‘…whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender …’” It is not enough to sanction the neo-Nazis but all who are antisemitic need to be sanctioned whether they are from the left or the right.”
The City of Cairns is gathering to support the Jewish community and Norman and Barbara will have an opportunity to share. All are invited.
Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.
Please get involved! We need your help!
We would love to connect with you and help you support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, working against calls for its destruction and the genocide of its people. These calls are advancing at great pace since October 7. Indigenous Friends of Israel formed in July 2017 because of concerns over Australia’s policy towards Israel. Since then we have gone international as antisemitism is international and isan ancient hatred. The forces standing against Israel also oppose Western and/or Judeo-Christian values which have helped us achieve a society with social cohesion and the rule of law.
Please help us take a stand against antisemitism, and for a community where all are valued and safe. There are many opportunities to use your passion, gifting and skills as a volunteer whether you are a person of faith or not. United we stand and divided we fall. Please complete the form to volunteer.
Are you good at creating or sharing social media, fundraising, administration, film and video making, government advocacy, newsletters, speaking, representing a geographical area, organising zoom meetings or do you have other giftings or talents that you can use to bless the Lord, the Jewish people, and Israel. It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, you can get involved. Check it out here
