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.”

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 avolunteer 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.

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
By Lilian Schmid, Prayer Coordinator, Prayerstrategy.org
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.

Positive reviews are coming in from teachers and we are approaching schools to pilot the units in term 1 next year. Are you a teacher or parent who is interested? Please contact us.
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.
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.

We want to thank Canberra Declaration and those who helped sponsor our trip. You share in the fruits of our work. We will be on Canberra Declaration Monday night 17/11/25 to give thanks, a report and pray. King David established this rule in 1 Samuel 30:24 “Who will listen to what you say? The share (reward) of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.”
We also thank the Lord for the opportunity to comfort His people as in Isaiah 40:1 “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.”
and Isaiah 40: 9 “You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, ‘Here is your God!'”
Israel has been isolated and unjustly made a pariah on the world stage. Hamas and Gazans committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust on October 7 2023 – the burning of babies, the raping of women in the most barbaric manner, the killing of children in front of their parents, the murder and torture of parents in front of their children, and the kidnapping of babies and the elderly including Holocaust survivors. Those hostages have been starved and abused and kept in Gazan tunnels and forced to dig their own graves. Israel was vilified before it even retaliated. Note the protests at the Sydney Opera House on October 9, 2023.
The people of Israel have been vilified. Israel has had to face the charge of genocide from the UN for defending itself, has been taken to the International Court of Justice and delegates walked out on Prime Minister Netanyahu at the United Nations. Hamas has won the propaganda war by using civilians as human shields and using hospitals, schools, residential areas, mosques and even the UN offices as Hamas headquarters. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, the war would have been over in a week instead of 2 years. Israel warns civilians and provides safe routes to relocate from the war zones. Hamas tries to prevent Gazans from escaping harm. Israel is also one of the most ethical nations worldwide and is the only democracy in the Middle East. It is defending western values.
So, what can we do? Apart from providing advocacy and running a school and a public education program, we at Indigenous Friends of Israel International provide comfort for Jewish people who are feeling under attack, isolated and fearful. We also provide support to the Jewish state and people of Israel via two projects:
The presentation of a big boomerang made and painted by Munganbana Norman Miller personally to the state of Israel in Jerusalem in November 2025.
The presentation by Norman Miller to the government of Israel of A Declaration of Solidarity with Israel from the Indigenous and Diverse Communities of the Pacific Rim. It can be found here https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/sign-the-declaration/
Provide Indigenous representation from Australia at the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem events in November 2025
Whether you support the government of Israel or all its actions is not the issue. The issue is this is an existential battle for the survival of the Jewish state with Hamas, which still has a lot of support in Gaza, vowing to do October 7 over and over again till the state of Israel is eliminated “from the river to the sea” and all Jews in Israel killed or removed. We must stand with and provide comfort and support to Israel and its people at this critical time.
The Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem is held meetings in Jerusalem 4-5 November 2025 and there Indigenous people attended from around the world. So, this was perfect timing for Indigenous people worldwide to express support for Israel and its people.
Imagine how heartening it was for Israelis to find that Indigenous people have their arms wrapped around them with these gifts of the boomerang and the Declaration and the message that we care. You are not alone.
Ps Munganbana Norman took the opportunity to apologise for the hostile attitude of the Australian government towards Israel and assure the Minister of the Knesset that there were many Indigenous people and many Christians who support Israel.
Holding the boomerang and declarations – Barbara and Norman Miller, Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel Hon Sharren Haskel, Dr Sheree Trotter, co-founder of Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, Debra Harding-Morris and David Morris. Norman presented a declaration of support for Israel from Indigenous People of the Pacific Rim and Debra presented a declaration on behalf of One New Man Council Australia. Both declarations were framed.
WHAT IS MEANING OF ARTWORK ON BOOMERANG?
Aboriginal pastor and artist Munganbana Norman Miller issued a press release on 31/10/25 before the boomerang was gifted to the Israel government and again afterwards. J-Wire and Australian Jewish News printed them and in the first one, Munganbana Norman explains the meaning of the painting:
“We want to say we care. You are the Indigenous people of Israel and you are our family. I have Jewish and Aboriginal designs on the boomerang with the Star of David in the centre. This is the meaning of the painting on the boomerang:
“This boomerang represents Indigenous peoples with earthy colours surrounding Israel, represented in the centre by the Star of David, in love, protection and blessing. Dot painting is often used in Australian Aboriginal art and it also represents here “the islands will look to Me” (Isaiah 60:9) signifying the remotest parts of the earth bringing honour to the Jewish people. We want to say with this boomerang that no matter what the world says, ‘we care and we stand with you. You are not alone.’ We honour the spiritual fathers and mothers of the land of Israel, our spiritual home.
We recognise you as Indigenous to the land of Israel just as we Indigenous people are Indigenous to our lands. Boomerangs were weapons for hunting and warfare and so this boomerang signals that we will fight for you to keep the land from the river Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea that Hashem ordained for you.
There is a scripture on the left of the boomerang Amos 9:11-15 because Hashem restored Israel, the tabernacle of David and Israel will never again be uprooted from the land Hashem gave you. On the right side is Psalm 122. Not only do we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and say peace be within you but our feet are glad to stand in the gates of Jerusalem and our tribes of the nations join the tribes of Israel and go up to worship Hashem.”
Many wonderful speakers at NAIN Canberra event including Warren Nyunggai Mundine and Mike Kelly. Supporters attended despite the rain. Thanks to organisers for their hard work.
A very touching event organised by the Israel Embassy at the ACT Jewish Community Centre Oct 26 to remember Oct 7. Lett to right – Ambassador His Excellency Amir Maimon, Jewish community members including Alan Shroot on right, Deborah O’Neill and Dave Sharma of the Parliamentary Friends of Israel lighting candles after speaking as did all the speakers. Beautiful songs and touching video for the occasion. We will miss Ambassador Amir whose term is coming to an end. It has been a tough time for an Israeli ambassador in Australia with an Australian government continually criticizing Israel.
As well attending this event, we attended an event organised by NAIN at the ACT Jewish Centre the following night with excellent speakers – Mike Kelly, Alan Shroot and Dave Sharma.
We were pleased to attend the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem events in Israel and are gathered here with First Nations people from Canada, Alaska, Australia and NZ with organiser Dr Sheree Trotter on the left. After some drumming and dancing, the march went to the Western Wall. We were joined by Emeritus Professor Wayne Horowitz and some other Israelis.
First Nations shared with our group at the Kotel or Western Wall. Then Barbara went to the wall to pray. Norman talked to the IDF. Photo here of Shelly, Ina, Norman, Barbara and Loretta Glanville from the Torres Strait and a local Israeli with the boomerang. Loretta gave a wonderful talk at the Academic Symposium.
There were excellent presentations by all the speakers with Dr Michael Wechsler giving an excellent talk on settler colonialism and the Palestine question and Dr Charles Small an excellent talk on combatting antisemitism for example. Photo – Nova Peris OAM OLY, an Aboriginal Australian received a standing ovation and is pictured here with co-organiser and speaker Dr Sheree Trotter. Emerituis Professor Wayne Horowitz, co-organiser also spoke with both he and Sheree giving excellent presentations.
Professor Gillian Gould from Australia spoke of her upcoming book on Indigenous and Jewish collaboration which will feature Norman Miller and international examples. All presentations will be available on the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem website.
Left- We travelled to an army base where two First Nations bands (Alaska and Canada) did a combined performance of drumming, dancing and singing to guitars and drums. The bands were Broken Walls and Okama. Melodie Greyeyes, pictured here, was the group leader and one of the dancers. This was the same group that joined the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem in a march from the Jaffa Gate to the Kotel.
They did an engaging show and Norman and I were able to share briefly. I had a dream the night before I should share about William Cooper, an Australian Aboriginal who led a protest against Kristallnacht in 1938 while his people were still not citizens and couldn’t vote so I did. I also shared about the Australian Lighthorse and the ANZACS, including Indigenous soldiers, whose blood was shed in the soil of Israel to help bring freedom to the Jewish people.
Right – Ps Avi Mizrachi and Barbara at Alfie Menashe in Samaria. Avi and Chaya Mizrachi showed us, and a visiting rabbi and his wife from the USA, around and we had an enjoyable meal together at Kfar Sava before going to their wonderful congregational service in Tel Aviv – Dugit.
We travelled along Route 232 which runs the length of the Gaza border, connecting the kibbutzim along the Strip and then crossing into Sderot. It is the road Hamas and Islamic Jihad used on Oct 7 to slaughter Israelis including those fleeing. It is a tale of horror with shelters along the road as memorials to those killed in shelters like the one on the left at Kfar Aza where burnt out candles cover the floor and faces and tributes to the dead cover the walls.
The picture on the right is a memorial at Kfar Aza with the names of those killed on each side of the pebble path. 78 people were killed here and 19 kidnapped. It was heart-breaking. Yellow flags have been erected along the road.
Kibbutz Be’eri was attacked also with 136 killed and 32 kidnapped. The Israelis are living behind barbed wire but Hamas cut the fence to attack them. Many houses were burnt or damaged and still need repair. JNF planted a forest there after the massacre of Oct 7. We lost our son unexpectedly on Jan 27 2024, International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Trudi Arnold on behalf of NAIN Sydney planted a tree for our son Michael and for Norman and I as well and it happened to be in this forest. It was a great comfort to know that when we had his funeral. So we prayed on site for our son and for the unspeakable loss of life that Israelis and some from other nations suffered on Oct 7.
We were hesitant to take photos at the Nova Music Festival site as it is the site of such a horrific massacre of Oct 7 so we didn’t take many. However an army commander we met at Kfar Aza showing the memorial sites to his family was touched that we cared and asked us to follow him. HIs family said they were touched also and Norman gave him a hug. We followed them to Be’eri and then had to visit the forest so didn’t follow him to Nova.
The Nova site has become a national memorial and there were a large number of Israelis there paying their respects. Families have built touching and elaborate memorials. The tribute to his young man from his family was especially touching.
We then went on to Ashkelon with our hosts Chaya, Arik and OrEl and then onto the airport for our trip home being met by Avi to be waved off. We thank them greatly for the special time we had with them.
A Declaration of Solidarity with Israel from the Indigenous and Diverse Communities of the Pacific Rim
Note – Though this declaration has been given to the Israel government, we are still collecting signatures so please forward this to Indigenous people and groups to sign.
We recognize the Jewish people as the Indigenous stewards of the land of Israel, their ancestral homeland, where their history, culture, and spiritual legacy have been rooted for millennia. This indigeneity resonates deeply with our own connections to land, tradition, and resilience, forging a sacred bond between our communities and the Jewish people. We honor Israel not only as a homeland but as a beacon of morality, kindness, and grace—a nation that exemplifies the highest standards of humanity in the face of unparalleled challenges.
Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Rim not only have a shared indigeneity with Jewish people but the shared experience of tribal societies, close family relations, attachment to land and closeness to nature. We also have shared experiences of colonisation, dispersion, ethnic cleansing, persecution, discrimination, marginalisation, trauma and the need for resilience.
Despite this, our cultures and spirituality remain strong. We applaud the Jewish people that they have been able to retain their religion and culture, revive their language and decolonise their land with the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 forming the only democracy in the Middle East.

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.

BOOMERANG FOR PM NETANYAHU
You can just see the scripture on the left of the boomerang of Amos 9:11-15 and on the right of Psalm 122. These will be made bolder. Our congregation is called the Tabernacle of David and we believe in the restoration of the Tabernacle of David, the throne of David on which Messiah Jesus will sit and the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem to the Jewish people for eternity so that Bible prophecy and God’s plan can be fulfilled.
Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations in 2013 included verses from Amos 9. He said: “In our time the Biblical prophecies are being realized. As the prophet Amos said, they shall rebuild ruined cities and inhabit them. They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine. They shall till gardens and eat their fruit. And I will plant them upon their soil never to be uprooted again. Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Israel have come home never to be uprooted again.” —Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu
The quotation above is how Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his speech on October 1, 2013 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Netanyahu’s speech was a warning to the world re Iran’s nuclear weapons. We think he will appreciate this scripture being on the boomerang gifted to him. You can be a part of that by helping us get there.
Psalm 122 tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Psalm 122:2-4 says”
2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. 4 That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord— to praise the name of the LordMay the tribes of the nations as well as the tribes of Israel praise the name of the Lord and have their feet standing in its gates.
We have timed our visit for the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem which we support and hoped to attend anyway on 3-4 Nov. This means that Indigenous representatives can sign the Declaration and form a delegation to present the Declaration and the boomerang with Munganbana Norman.
We give God the glory for His hand on Israel, the apple of His eye and we pray for the harvest of souls for the kingdom of God all over the Middle East. The day the hostages were returned, Oct 13, is the Jewish festival of Hoshana Rabbah which means the great Hoshana with hoshana meaning SAVE NOW.” How prophetic was that?
We welcome home all living hostages to the loving arms of their families who have fought so hard for their release. We pray that the bodies of those killed by Hamas and other Gazans will all be released soon. It will be painful for their families but at least they will have some closure. We pray healing and comfort.
To all those who fought in the IDF we say thanks for preserving the beloved nation Israel, and to those whose families did not see their loved ones return alive, our love and comfort extends to you and to those wounded. May your recovery be speedy.
To the brave Israelis and the Jewish diaspora worldwide including Australia, who have suffered so much also, we also extend our love and say you are not alone. We stand with you.
May this ceasefire, fragile though it is, hold, and bring a long peace. May Gazans turn from their anti-Israel anti-Jewish hate and build a healthy, peaceful, prosperous society.
HOSTAGE FAMILIES VISIT AUSTRALIA NOV 2023
Norman and Barbara joined a rally in support of the hostage families who visited Australia. This photo was at Bondi Beach, Sydney 30.11.23. They also attended a rally in support of the hostages at the visit of the families to Parliament House Canberra. Barbara was also invited to light candles with the families of the hostages at an event at the Central Synagogue Sydney.
There were moving scenes at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv as the 20 living hostages were released. The massacre occurred on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah on Oct 7, a time of joy turned into tragedy. Amazingly, they were returned on Oct 13, the last day of Sukkot, also called Hoshana Rabbah which turned into Simchat Torah at sundown. Israel can rejoice again through its tears.
There were moving speeches at the Knesset on Oct 13 as well with President Trump and his team in attendance. Prime Minister Netanyahu used this quote from Jeremiah 31:16-17: This is what the Lord says:
“Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord. “They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your descendants,” declares the Lord.
We are mindful however, that there can be false peace and Israel features in end-time battles.

SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS WITH EDUCATION AUTHORITIES
We have engaged recently with the Dor Foundation and the staff of Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism who are both very interested in our education program to combat antisemitism so we will be working with them in future.
Norman and Barbara have have continued to have a number of successful meetings with state and commonwealth education authorities over our School Antisemitism Education Project. We are in the process of discussions with a number of schools as well.
So please if you know any primary schools that would be interested in becoming part of a pilot program to test it before it gets rolled out nationally, please let us know. Also, if you know of any funding options, please let us know as we are all working voluntarily including our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane.

We have some exciting news in that Pastor Norman plans to hand the Declaration (which is the topic of this zoom seminar) personally to Prime Minister Netanyahu in Jerusalem if it can be arranged. He plans to also gift him an extra large boomerang which will have Australian Aboriginal and Israeli motifs on it, in a separate project, to Netanyahu at the same time. If you can help with finances for this project, it would be much appreciated. We hope to time it for the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem meeting in Jerusalem 4-5 Nov 2025.
The zoom shown here is Part 2 of 29.9.25 AEST because the recording stopped after 10mins and was turned on again, meaning we have Part 1 and Part 2.
Speakers Norman Miller, Aboriginal Australian, Co-founder of Indigenous Friends of Israel International Foundation, Dr Isaac Balbin, President Lions of Zion for 29.9.25 AEST with many wonderful commentators.
Norman and Isaac also spoke at North American zoom session joined by Ps Charles Huang, Taiwanese-American, Founder & CEO of Roots and Branches International. Commentary by Nyunggai Warren Mundine, Australian Aboriginal businessman and Chair CPAC. This is the LINK.
This is the link to sign the petition. Please encourage many others to do so. It can be signed by individuals and organisations. Tribes can be added. Jewish people are Indigenous to Israel and may join their Indigenous family in the Pacific Rim to sign the Declaration. No one can see your name on it at the moment and we will contact you before any names are published. SIGN HERE
