STRIKE ON IRAN ON SHABBAT ZACHOR, A BLOW AGAINST TERROR STATE & ANTISEMITISM

By Barbara Miller 1.3.26

Today’s Haman, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had a similar plan to eliminate worldwide Jewry, met the same fate and on the eve of Purim – his own death. And the Jewish people live. Am Yisrael Chai.

The US and Israel attack on Iran, ancient Persia, over its nuclear and ballistic missiles and sponsorship of terrorism targeted at Israel occurred on Shabbat Zachor. This is the Shabbat before Purim which starts Monday evening. On Shabbat Zachor or the Shabbat of Remembrance, there is a supplementary reading to the parashah or torah portion. It is Deuteronomy 25:17-19 and it commands the people of God to remember the evil of Amalek and obliterate it from the earth, “obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.”

Did Israeli and even American leaders know that they fulfilled this command by striking Iran on Shabbat Zachor? I think they did. They may have even timed it for this reason.

The commandment was given when the Israelites were coming from Egypt into the Promised Land and the Amalekites attacked the stragglers, weak and elderly at the rear. The commandment was repeated by GoD to Moses in Exodus 17:14-16 when Amalek attacked them at Rephidim, challenging God’s throne, just before they got to Mt Sinai where God made covenant with them and gave them the ten commandments.

Another attempt to prevent Israel’s destiny was when David and his men returned to their camp at Ziglag to find their camp burnt and wives taken captive. This could have prevented him becoming King but he led a successful rescue. Sadly, this is near present day Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza where some of the worst atrocities occurred on October 7 and we visited there recently.

So. it is no surprise that, though the Amalekites have disappeared as a race that Israel has a habit of calling all its enemies Amalekites. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the term Amalekites re Hamas so the prosecutors used this to accuse him of genocide at the International Court of Justice hearings. The jury is out so to speak but the damage has been done.

Why would Amalek have a murderous hate of Israel? He was the grandson of Esau, twin to Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Esau despised his birthright and inheritance and sold it to his brother for a bowl of lentils. Jacob tricked his father into giving him the blessing so Esau’s anger and jealously has been handed down through the generations. The covenant promises are through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that was God’s plan.

So, we come to the story of Purim where Haman, the Agagite is a descendant of King Agag of the Amalekites and Haman wanted the Jews in Persia to bow down to him as Prime Minister. When Mordecai refused, he got King Xerxes 1 to write a decree to have them exterminated in all the empire on 13 Adar 356 BCE. But Queen Esther (Hadassah), secretly a Jew, was asked by Mordecai to intervene. She asked all Jews to fast and pray for 3 days and then she went to the King.

When Haman’s plot was revealed, the King instructed Haman to be hung on the same gallows he’d constructed for Mordecai. As decrees could not be cancelled, the King instructed Esther and Mordecai to right another decree to reverse the effect of the first one. This meant Jews could defend themselves and even pre-emptively strike those they believed intended to kill them. The threat was eliminated and the feast of Purim instituted to celebrate.

We come back to the Shabbat Zachor strike on Iran which in some ways was pre-emptive and in some ways defensive as Iran has been responsible for funding and training many proxies to attack Israel – Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and militias in Iraq, Syria and the West Bank (Judea/Samaria.)

Israel was on the brink of signing an Abrahamic Accord with Saudi Arabia when Hamas attacked on October 7 with the aim of blowing the accord out of the water. It would have been a historic breakthrough in relations in the Middle East. Israel is now on the brink of a new breakthrough with the weakening and possible demise of the Iranian regime. Interestingly, it was the 47thPresident of the United States that has brought 47 years of Islamic terrorist rule in Iran to the brink of collapse.

I want to make two final points:

  1. It was Persia, ancient Iran, which produced Cyrus and other kings who enabled the Jewish people to return from Babylonian captivity and financed the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. We need a modern-day Cyrus in Iran who will favour Israel and may even sign the Abraham Accords or similar with it.
  2. I take the commandment of Deuteronomy 25:17-19 about remembering the evil of Amalek and eradicating it from under heaven about being a call to us, Jews and Christians, to obliterate the spirit of Amalek which is a spirit of violent antisemitism. While radical Islam is one manifestation of it, it predates Islam by many centuries.

PROPHETIC PRAYER AND VISION OF JESUS AND HIS FOOTPRINTS AND HANDS ON BONDI BEACH 25.1.2026 BY PS NORMAN MILLER

Lord, even though we saw what took place before Christmas, we saw what took place on BondI. But Lord, I pray in this place, in this lake of Galilee, from this city. I pray Lord that there will be a catch because of the network and the influence of that network will carry and it will carry and it will draw because it will be a network Lord of people that you’ll bring together and Lord that it will be strengthened in your word in your foundation. It will be people like heart like mind. Though there are differences, but Lord, it’s you that brings about and makes a difference because of your word and the promise of your word. It will be a people of influence, importantly godly influence that you’ll bring into this network of ministries that love you, that serve you, that honor you, that will stand shoulder to  shoulder Because there will be much more that you will do.

And the influences, Lord, that right now that you’re calling them to come together because it’s you that will bring them together. And Lord, we pray that even as the disciples, they were in the boat, they didn’t exactly need another boat or a bigger boat because they had you as the lordship and the kingship and you were steering them and you were healing them and you were restoring them. And as that restoration came, Lord, they were built because of you and the word of your foundations and the strength of your foundations. The word of the Lord of Jerusalem came strongly into their hearts and into their spirits and they were able to carry out as that network of people that you have joined together to bring in such a harvest to reach out. You were drawing them, Lord, for a time.

And even as the catch and they were able to come together and have that meal together, have that breakfast together with you that you will draw that network of people that right now that you’re speaking to the hearts to. And Lord, what took place on the beach of Bondi there? You will establish that beach head ministry. And Lord, even as I’m praying, I I looked on the front of my Bible and it gave that scripture of all the words of footprints. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. And you will call us to carry the task that you’ve given us. Your promises are yes and amen. Your covenant promises are yes and amen.

Lord, right now that you speaking to the hearts of men and women even in this nation. And Lord, even right now, I can just see your footprints in the sand deeply printed. In the sands of that beach and your hands, Lord, as we have heard the miracles that you’ve done. In the sadness of that tragedy, you will turn around for your good, the saving of many souls for your kingdom. And so Lord, the response that will come from a people that you you are speaking to right now.

When we hear them say, “The Lord spoke to me and I said, “Here I am, Lord. Send me. Here I am, Lord. Use me. That will be the response of a heart of obedience that will hear the wave and move of your Holy Spirit, the wave of your glory. And Lord, I know that you will position men and women that will come on board. And as the surfboard goes out and is ready to catch that wave, we ask and pray, Lord. There will be those that will respond and they will say, “The Lord spoke to me.” The confirming word. Because out of this place of devastation, the goodness of God will come through and shine forth. the light of the world. Shine your glory. Shine your presence. Heavy way. Heavy weight. Heavy weight. And in that song that we all know so well this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.

VISION

A few weeks ago, Barbara saw the pendulum swing back in favour of Jewish Australians after Bondi as middle Australia and leading figures came out in support. Antisemitic proponents will attempt to regain ground but they certainly lost ground at Bondi.

Barbara also saw that, as surf board riders need to catch the wave at the right time, we (IFI Int) have developed antisemitism education for primary schools at the right time to catch the wave of support for its implementation. Let us know if you can help get it into schools.

Where to After Bondi?

Australia changed dramatically on Dec 14 with the massacre of 15 people, 14 of them Jewish, at the Chanukah By the Sea event at Bondi Beach, Sydney. The Jewish community had been warning the government of the possibility of a mass casualty event with the rise of antisemitism since Oct 7. This included the firebombing of the Adass Yisrael synagogue and too many other incidents to mention.

Dr Mike Kelly is one of two key speakers for our IFI International zoom seminar on the topic “Where to After Bondi?” on 16 Feb 7pm Sydney time. The other speaker is being finalized.
He is currently Adjunct Professor at the National Security Institute of the University of Canberra.

Mike is also one of the founding Co-Conveners of Labor Friends of Israel, established late 2023. He served in the Australian Army, including deployments in Somalia, Bosnia, Timor Leste, Iraq and a hostage recovery mission in Africa.  He served as Director of UN, NATO, Europe, Peacekeeping, the Middle East and Africa in the ADF Strategy Group, including managing the crises in Timor Leste and Lebanon in 2006. 

Mike was a member of the Australian Parliament serving as Assistant Minister for Defence, including responsibility for the transition of operations in Afghanistan, and as Minister for Defence Materiel. He was also a member of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. So he is amazingly well qualified and in demand. We will have a flyer out soon so you can register. Please let others know this is coming up.

Qld Solidarity Event with Jewish Community After Bondi Massacre Brisbane Dec 25 (https://youtube.com/watch?v=woPmlLWkRmE )

The video shows the lighting of the menorah. Norman and Barbara Miller of Indigenous Friends of Israel International lit the 4th candle. The 8th candle was fittingly lit by a 10 year old girl on behalf of the children in memory of Matilda, the 10 year-old tragically killed at Bondi Beach on Dec 14. Norman was asked to speak to the crowd that had gathered outside an hour before the event to show support, sing and share. 

The City of Cairns gathered to support the Jewish community for an event on the last day of Chanukah and Norman and Barbara were invited to share but attended the Brisbane event instead at the invitation of Jason Steinberg, the President of the Qld Jewish Board of Deputies to light the menorah along with others. About 1500 attended a very moving event. Similar events were held all round Australia. 

Moving messages were given in Brisbane by:

  • Jason Steinberg: President, Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies (QJBD)
  • Adrian Schrinner: Brisbane Lord Mayor
  • David Crisafulli: Queensland Premier
  • Steven Miles: Opposition Leader
  • Archbishop Shane Mackinlay
  • Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
  • Imam Uzair Akbar: Holland Park Mosque
  • Hesam Orouji: Representing the Iranian community
  • Gail Paratz OAM: QJBD Interfaith Chair
  • Rabbi Jaffe: Led Memorial Prayers
  • David Paratz AM: Led the menorah lighting 

The event also featured music by Cantor Greg Hurwitz and a video tribute accompanied by Dr. Courtenay Cleary.

We are grateful so many Australians from all walks of life called for a Royal Commission after Bondi and Albo finally caved in. Here was our contribution. He also belatedly and reluctantly issued an apology of sorts.

PRESS RELEASE – Don’t Blame Me: Albo Refuses Royal Commission 30.12.25.

“We are joining the call for a federal Royal Commission re the Bondi Beach massacre on 14.12.25, the first night of Chanukah when the Jewish community was gunned down by ISIS-inspired terrorists,” said Norman and Barbara Miller, Co-founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International Foundation.

“The refusal by PM Albanese to set up a Royal Commission despite calls by the families of those killed and injured at Bondi Beach, and a host of eminent Australians from the judiciary, national security, law enforcement, Jewish leadership and former MP’s is scandalous and is adding fuel to the fire of a rage burning in Australia that could see the Prime Minister’s downfall.

“Instead, Albanese is setting up a law enforcement and intelligence review that does not mention antisemitism or Jews or previous attacks on Jews, and does not include hate speech, hate preachers or pro-Palestinian protests featuring the flags or photos of leaders of terror groups. This will not cut it.

We need to get to the root causes of antisemitism and how it was allowed to escalate to the massacre at Bondi. The government needs to face its inadequate response, indifference and its own role in fanning the flames that led to Bondi. Albo’s don’t blame me won’t cut it either.

“At least Premier Chris Minns is showing some leadership by setting up a NSW Royal Commission but it will not have wide enough powers and all states need to be looked at. The fact that Jewish security asked for more police at the Bondi event – a no-brainer – and didn’t get it is shocking.

“PM Albanese’s excuse for not holding a Royal Commission shows he is fearful of the outcome. He said, ‘Royal Commissions can be good at deciding facts … (they are) not as good to consider things that are not agreed, where people have differences of views.’

“Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said it would further challenge our social cohesion. It would ‘provide a public platform for some of the worst statements and worst voices, to effectively relive some of the worst examples of antisemitism over the last two years.’ But the truth needs to come out and the Jewish community have said they need it to feel safe.

“Sheina Gutnik, the daughter of Reuven Morrison, led the efforts of the families of victims of Bondi to write a joint statement to the Prime Minister calling for a Royal Commission and she told The Australian:
“’It’s the absolute audacity for them to come out and tell us how we are going to feel about this. It’s incomprehensible on Albanese, trying to dictate what is going to traumatise us. Let’s take these steps to ensure that there will be no further trauma.’”

The Millers continued, “PM Albanese thought he and Foreign Minister Penny Wong could criticize Israel unfairly and with impunity and not lead to serious consequences for Jewish Australians and not draw accusations of culpability for the Bondi Beach massacre. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke thought he could bring in 3,000 Gazans and some ISIS brides to keep his Muslim voters onside without affecting social cohesion in Australia,”

“Albo was caught on the backfoot and was like a deer in the headlights. Despite numerous warnings from the Jewish community and national security agencies he took little action and now plans an inquiry into national security and law enforcement agencies as window dressing and a cover for his own performance.

“Our hearts grieve with the Jewish community who have been exemplary citizens of Australia and deserve protection, admiration, respect and love. Australia will never be the same again just as Israel will never be the same again after Oct 7. However, many good-hearted Australians have come out of the woodwork to show support and care for our Jewish neighbours. We hope this will continue. It should not take a horrific tragedy to bring it, but we have reached a turning point in facing and dealing with antisemitism in Australia. Let’s make sure we are up to the task.”

National Day of Mourning
Australia observed a National Day of Mourning on Thursday, 22 January 2026, to honour the 15 victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. The day, themed “Light will win,” featured a special event at the Sydney Opera House which reclaimed it from the horrific pro-Palestinian protest on Oct 9, 2023, flags at half-mast on government buildings, a national minute’s silence at 7:01 pm AEDT, and the lighting of 15 “Pillars of Light” or monuments. Also the Jewish community encouraged Australians to do “mitzvahs” or acts of kindness. Australians were encouraged to light a candle and put it in your window (as we did).

Last Hostage Returned Home
After 843 days, the last of 251 hostages brutally kidnapped both dead and alive on Oct 7 into Gaza from Israel. Ran Gvili was a 24year old off duty policeman with a broken shoulder who raced to the frontline on Oct 7 to help and was killed. He has returned a hero and for the first time, Israel has no hostages in Gaza since 2014.

Amazingly, this happened while we commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance day on 27 January. Now Israel reopened the border between Gaza and Egypt and phase 2 of the Trump peace deal can be put into effect.

Like us, many supporters worldwide removed our yellow badges and necklaces calling for the return of the hostages. It was a sombre moment as Ran’s funeral was held but a great relief to hostage families and supporters that all are home.
Video of us removing our hostage badges HERE

Sky News documentary
Must see: Sky News documentary, “Bondi: A Timeline of Terror”, will air on Tuesday, February 24th at 7.30pm. Sharri Markson interviews some of those shot who have not been interviewed before and the parents of 10 year old Matilda who feels betrayed by the government. And much more.

Antisemitism Education Taskforce

A 12-month Antisemitism Education Taskforce, chaired by David Gonski AC was announced on the 18 December 2025. The Taskforce forms part of the Australian Government’s response to the Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism.  It will consider actions to help the Australian education system “prevent, tackle and properly respond to antisemitism”.

When the massacre occurred at Bondi and Albo was faced with accusations of culpability for lack of action and even stoking antisemitism, he had to admit he had not yet responded 6 months on to the recommendations of Jillian Segal, the Special Envoy on Antisemitism. So it is welcome that this taskforce has been set up.

We approached them to put in a submission but they were not ready to receive them yet.

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 now move on to prepare materials for secondary schools specifically on antisemitism and work on primary school implementation. See more and provide support HERE

Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4, and 5-6. 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.

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.”

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

Trust in God, Let Angels Wake You & a Scripture as a Declaration Against Antisemitism by Ps Norman Miller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhdZLdm0f6I)
Am Israel Chai: Sorry & Gifts, Israel Trip Nov 2025 by Ps Barbara Miller (https://youtu.be/9_wiExYde6g)

REPENTANCE FROM A CHRISTIAN LEBANESE STANDING IN THE GAP FOR ARAB NATIONS FOR THE EXILE AND THEFT OF 850,000-900,000 JEWS FROM ARAB LANDS IN 1948 AND ONWARDS

As a Born-Again Christian Lebanese from my father’s side and Syrian from my mother’s side,  I stand in the Gap, and I ask forgiveness on behalf of my Government and other Phoenicians and Arabic nations.
 
I also repent on behalf of all Lebanese, Syrians and other Arabic nations the way have treated the Jews and stole their properties and inheritance.
 
After the establishment of Israel in 1948, many Arab governments enacted policies that led to confiscation of Jewish property, revocation of citizenship, and forced exile. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Libya, and other nations were displaced, often leaving behind homes, businesses, and cultural heritage that had existed for centuries.
 
A repentance prayer or declaration on behalf of those governments, here’s a structured draft you could adapt for your prayer guides or communal use:
 
Repentance Declaration on Behalf of Arab Governments
 
Acknowledgment of Wrongdoing
We acknowledge before God and history that Jewish communities in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and across the Arab nations were unjustly stripped of their homes, properties, and livelihoods. They were uprooted from lands where they had lived for generations, contributing to culture, commerce, and society.
 
Confession of Sin
We confess the sins of theft, injustice, and expulsion committed by governments and authorities who denied Jewish people their rightful place and dignity. We recognize the pain caused by these actions, both to individuals and to the collective Jewish people.
 
Repentance and Turning
On behalf of these nations, we repent for the arrogance, hatred, and violence that led to such grievous wrongs. We turn away from the spirit of antisemitism and hostility, and we ask for forgiveness from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
 
Appeal for Healing
We pray for healing of historical wounds, restoration of dignity, and reconciliation between Jews and Arabs. May the injustices of the past be redeemed by acts of justice, mercy, and truth in the present and future.
Commitment to Change
 
We commit to stand against antisemitism in all its forms, to Honor the Jewish people, and to seek peace and blessing between nations.
 
We intercede and Pray for modern Arab governments to acknowledge past wrongs and pursue reconciliation.
•            Declare: Speak blessing over Jewish communities worldwide, especially those who were displaced.
•            Stand: Commit to resisting antisemitism in all its forms and to honouring the Jewish people.
•            Release: Proclaim Isaiah 61:7 — “Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.”
 
Closing Blessing
May the God of peace heal ancient wounds, redeem stolen inheritances, and release His blessing over both Jews and Arabs. May nations be transformed by His justice and mercy.

Antisemitism Colab in Sydney Dec 1-2 co-hosted by Australian Jewish Funders and the Dor Foundation. Very strategic event and they emphasized the need for collaboration.

DEC 6 2024 EVENTS CANBERRA MILLERS PICTURED WITH ISRAEL AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA THE HON. AMIR MAIMON AS HE DEDICATES A PLAQUE ALONG WITH THE GERMAN AMBASSADOR TO WILLIAM COOPER IN COMMEMORATION OF HIS PROTEST AGAINST THE PERSECUTION OF JEWS AT KRISTALLNACHT. AFTERWARDS, NORMAN MAKES A DECLARATION IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST ANTISEMITISM OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT HOUSE. THE AMBASSADOR’S GESTURE GOT LITTLE PUBLICITY BECAUSE THE ADASS YISRAEL SYNAGOGUE IN MELBOURNE WAS SADLY FIREBOMBED THE SAME DAY.

DEC 6 IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROTEST ABORIGINAL WILLIAM COOPER LED IN AUSTRALIA AFTER KRISTALLNACHT, THE START OF THE HOLOCAUST. 

Books on him HERE

The Nazis shatter glass and shatter the lives of European Jews at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. An Australian Aboriginal, William Cooper, leads the campaign for civil rights for his people who are dying of poverty and mistreatment around him. 1938; two worlds, far apart. Cut to the core after Kristallnacht, can he do anything to stop it?

Described as Australia’s Martin Luther King, Cooper leads the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Would the Third Reich pour out its wrath on them? Would they make a difference?

A Chair of Resistance to the Holocaust was named in honour of Cooper at Yad Vashem. His grandson, Alf Turner, becomes passionate about fulfilling his grandfather’s unfinished business and taking the protest to Berlin itself. How will he be received?

This true story will inspire you to stand up and be counted and to make a difference.

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.
