Indigenous Friends of Israel International zoom seminar 18 3 25
This was an amazing seminar as Dr Lisa Sarzin has been at the forefront of Jewish-Indigenous relations and has much insight and experience to share. Also the story of the Rona Tranby Trust helping descendants of Indigenous Light horsemen to go to Israel for the Beer Sheva centenary is an amazing one.
Lauren Briggs shared the heart-warming work of the Heartbeat project where UIA helps out with needy families in Israel. Also Lauren and UIA brought a group of Israeli survivors and rescuers from Oct 7 – Jewish, Druze, Muslim and Christian to Australia mid last year to share their stories. Australian Dionne Taylor has connected with them and become the Australian representative of Israel-is. We recommended participants attend the Never Again is Now/Israel-is Survived to Tell events in Sydney and Melbourne in April with these speakers.
We won’t have a zoom in April because of too many commitments.

The Armour of God for Spiritual Protection and Praying in the Spirit by Ps Barbara Miller
Pastor Norman Miller has announced he is standing as an Independent for the seat of Leichhardt in the federal election expected to be in May 2025 so please pray for him. Here is his press statement.
PRESS RELEASE RE NORMAN MILLER STANDING FOR LEICHHARDT AS INDEPENDENT 27.2.25
Aboriginal pastor and businessman, Munganbana Norman Miller announced today that he is standing in the federal elections as an independent for the north Queensland seat of Leichhardt. Over 16% of its population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
Miller said, “I am standing because I believe the Labor government has lost its way. In sporting terms, Albo has lost his dressing room. He has lost the confidence of all Australians eg. the dreams and visions of young people to own a home.
“Australia is a nation that fights above its weight, and we need to find that common ground that brings all Australians together e.g. the values our servicemen fought for, Including Indigenous servicemen. We need to restore pride in our nation, with its Judeo-Christian values the west is based on and our democratic values.
“My campaign theme is ‘Govern for all Aussies’ and I will work for all of you. I have a 10-point plan but the two main things I’m campaigning on are cost of living and antisemitism/social cohesion/safety which is a national crisis.
“Today we find that private health insurance is up 3.73% swallowing up the Reserve Bank’s cash rate cut for 15 million members of health funds.
“The Albanese government campaigned last election on bringing down the cost of living, including a $275 decrease in electricity bills. All we have seen is increased costs -electricity (up 32%), gas (up 36%), food (up 12%), rents (up 17%). Petrol and house prices have also skyrocketed.
Inflation has been so high that we have just had the first interest rate cut in nearly 5 years. In Aboriginal and Torres Islander and country areas, prices are even worse than in the cities.
“This is hitting farmers and businesses really hard as well as Mum and Dad Australians. We are in a per-capita recession and inflation has been fuelled by a high-spending government. Interest rates have gone up 12 times since Labor was elected and mortgage repayments have become unbearable, forcing some families out of their homes. The accompanying stress has affected marriages, families and mental health.
“We have people in our nation who hate our values, who hate our nation, who hate our way of life, so we are in trouble. Rising and rampart antisemitism is one outcome of this, whether it comes from the left or the right. Because our values are based on Judeo-Christian ethics and democracy, our tolerance has emboldened the intolerant and our parliamentarians’ and law enforcement’s lack of will have let us down.
“This antisemitism is threatening our social cohesion and is tearing the fabric of our society apart. We don’t want our children to grow up hating one another or hating one section of our society or even hating our nation. This is unAustralian.
“Youth crime is an increasing problem causing great concern and we have recently had a home invasion in Manunda, Cairns where a woman was allegedly hauled out of bed and raped while she and her partner were held at knifepoint. This has made residents of Manunda and Cairns generally worried about their security.
“Labor’s approach to national security has weakened our nation with cuts to defence spending (now under 2 per cent of GDP).
“Community safety is a concern with over 280 serious criminals being released from immigration detention under this government, with many reoffending. Chinese warships firing in international waters just off our coastline have posed a threat to the safety of passengers in at least 49 domestic flights which have had to change flight patterns.
“Albo and his government have lied to the public saying that there was not enough warning by the Chinese of the live fire when the notification was 90 mins afterwards and a Virgin pilot was the first one to notify the government. Albo would rather risk the life of Australians than upset China.
“Albo and the Labor government would rather get votes from Muslims in western Sydney than deal with the antisemitism crisis in our nation with ASIO boss Mike Burgess saying this week that the biggest national security threat re loss of life in Australia is from antisemitism. When asked by Senator Paterson if the risk was ever this high before re a form of racism, he said no.”
Norman has developed a 10-point policy. His website is still under development but the address is https://normanmillerforleichhardt.com Facebook is up and running. Please like it Instagram needs some support, check it out here

Sharri Markson, Sky News and Alex Ryvchin, ECAJ at Anitsemitism Summit
Plot Foiled: Antisemitism Summit a Success
By Barbara Miller, Co-founder Indigenous Friends of Israel International
Haman’s plot to kill all the Jews in the known world was foiled by Queen Esther and Mordecai. We will be commemorating that at Purim soon. The plot by Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis, proxies of Iran has been foiled. Sadly, there have been tragic losses along the way, including the Bibas family, which has left Jewish people and their friends worldwide hurting.
I believe that what we saw at the Antisemitism Summit at the Central Synagogue hosted by Sharri Markson of Sky News and Alex Ryvchin, co-CEO of ECAJ, on 20.2.25 was an opportunity to strategize to foil the evil plot of those who would wipe out Australian Jews as well.
Make no mistake about it. There is a genocidal intent behind some of these perpetrators of antisemitism in Australia and we saw that with the Bankstown nurses rant that they would kill Jews and have killed Jews. Most Muslim organisations in Australia have supported rather than condemned them. The nurses have lost their jobs but not yet been charged.
Sharri Markson said we must not accept antisemitism as “our new reality.”
Current and former political leaders such as Peter Dutton, Chris Minns, Mark Dreyfus and John Howard, law enforcement chiefs, national security experts, legal experts, Jewish community leaders, Holocaust survivors, and Ambassador of the State of Israel to Australia, Amir Maimon came together as a stellar cast of speakers.
Indigenous Friends of Israel International Zoom Antisemitism Schools Education Program 17 2 25
SOME EXCERPTS FROM BARBARA’S TALK ON ZOOM ABOVE
… So, what are we teaching in our schools? There is a Teachers for Palestine group who are festering hatred of Jews in our schools and wearing keffiyehs. This is the tip of the iceberg and is intimidating to Jewish teachers and students not to mention what they might be teaching in the classroom.
Jewish children need security guards at their schools and are frightened to wear their uniforms to school. Jewish university students and lecturers have been terrorized on campuses and two universities have established safe spaces for them. Many of these students now learn online from home.
We have a NSW based Nurses and Midwives 4 Palestine group who have members actively chanting the genocidal chant “From the River to the Sea” in the workplace and in uniform, often wearing pro-Palestinian badges on their uniforms. The latest was the horrifying incident of two nurses at Bankstown hospital threatening to not treat and even kill Israeli Jewish patients and saying they had already done so. So far, they have not been charged. This is frightening for Jewish people who need to know they can be treated safely in hospitals …
WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHAT NEXT? You can help by getting the word out, praying if you are a person of prayer, providing funding, finding teachers and schools who may be interested in piloting the program, and calling out antisemitism in schools.
This is not the only example I can give but Dr Randa Abdel Fattah of Macquarie University has a $1.8 million research grant. She focuses on Islamophobia, critical race theory, Palestine, the war on terror and Arab and Muslim activism.
She took a group of children onto Sydney University and had them chanting jihad. Randa created Australia’s first early-reader book series on diversity and anti-racism. The series is called Our Stories and the 4 books in the series by diverse writers and illustrators, including Randa’s The Very Best Doughnut were shortlisted for the DANZ 2024 book award.
This is very concerning. We need to read what our children are exposed to and call out what is not appropriate. We need to find or develop readers for our children that won’t be divisive, that will encourage social cohesion, that will encourage us to be proud to be Australian and treat all our citizens well and respectfully. We need to help our teachers with units and resources that will enable them to do their jobs well in bringing the next generation through our school system. These children will be our future leaders. We need to guide them to be happy, compassionate, tolerant members of our society.

Right – 6.2.25, Robert Gregory, Australian Jewish Association with Norman at Melanie Phillip’s amazing address in Brisbane hosted by AJA and Qld Jewish Collective. Her topic was “How to Combat Antisemitism and Defend Western Civilisation.” She spoke about how Jews and Christians need to work together. We had an opportunity to talk briefly to Melanie and David Adler, AJA. Check out her book on Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/Builders-Stone-Christians-Built-West/dp/B0DT15VDW6/
RELAUNCH OF AUSTRALIA ISRAEL ALLIES CAUCUS 12.2.25
We were pleased to be invited to the relaunch of the Australia Israel Allies Caucus at Parliament House Canberra on 12.2.25. 25 MPs came in and out of the launch as they could with their commitments as parliament was sitting. Andrew Wallace is the Chair and Rabbi Riesenberg is the founding rabbi. Andrew Wallace, John Lockwood, Rabbi Riesenberg and Ambassador Amir Maimon spoke.
John Lockwood said the Israel Allies Foundation Australasia, of which he is Chair, had been formed to support the Caucus. He mentioned the Indigenous Friends of Israel International school antisemitism program. Senator Sarah Henderson, Opposition Minister for Education, told us at the end of the meeting that she had been briefed on our education program by her advisor and was supportive. David Jack of SCAFI was behind the video as was media. This photo only has some of the participants of the event including the Millers.
The previous leaders of the Caucus were former MPs Eric Abetz followed by Stuart Robert. Rabbi Riesenberg gave a very moving address of how his synagogue in Melbourne had been attacked by pro-Palestinian activists.
The night before, we were blessed to listen to Stan Goodenough speak at the ACT Jewish Community Centre about the dangers of the two-state solution for the survival of Israel especially when the Palestinians only want a one-state solution with the eradication of Israel and the Jewish people.

PRESS RELEASE 24.1.25 – NO ANTISEMITISM PLEASE ON AUSTRALIA DAY & INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
“We are approaching two very important commemorations – Australia Day on January 26 and International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27. The latter is particularly significant as it is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camp,” said Norman and Barbara Miller, Cofounders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International.
“We do this at a time when our nation is facing a crisis of social cohesion, the lack of moral clarity and will to act of our government, and forces that would gladly tear the fabric of our society apart.
“Cultural Marxists who jump on every bandwagon including Indigenous rights and the rise of antisemitism since October 7, Islamo-fascists and neo Nazis – all unlikely bedfellows, have been on the streets every weekend for 15 months now ripping up the peace and safety of Jewish Australians and holding all Australians to ransom….” READ MORE

Faith Hope and Growth by Ps Barbara Miller at Lifestream Church Canberra 8.12.24
An anointing of compassion and healing was poured out by the Lord. We thank the Lord because we have had a 20 year relationship with Lifestream church and its former name since Ps Renton McCrae was on our Pastors Reference Group when we hosted our first Psalm 24:7 conference in Parliament House Canberra in 2004. We do appreciate the elders especially Peter and Kim Taylor who have been a huge blessing over the years. I remember when Lou Engle from the USA came into our conference there was such an anointing with our Tabernacle of David worship team pumping and Jacqueline, Kim and Irwin’s warfare dancing, he couldn’t get over the anointing.
In fact it was wonderful to catch up with so many friends in Canberra including Glen Sebasio, Jacqueline and Derek Bedson and Ps Irwin and Jill Ross. Also Shoshana and Rod Linnane who travelled from Brisbane. Shoshana is working with us on our school education project.
VICTORIAN GOVT PROMISES ACTION 16.12.24
The statement we gave to the Victorian government with 4 practical measures which they and state governments can take to deal with antisemitism may have had an effect on the measures announced today by the Premier which are similar.
Amazingly the statement was given to the Victorian government on Dec 6, the day of the firebombing of Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne and the 86th anniversary of William Cooper and the Australian Aborigines’ League protest about Kristallnacht where synagogues in Europe were burned and their glass shattered.
Norman and I outlined 7 measures the federal government could take on the same day (Dec 6) outside Parliament House Canberra.
When we released a press statement in Cairns on Dec 10, we increased this to 16 measures state and federal governments could take re Australian antisemitism and its anti-Israel stance. Read the statement and press releases below.

Barbara was pleased to be on the team along with David Jack and Steve Green of SCAFI and Sarah Way of ICEJ and some members of the Jewish community who organised the United with William Cooper event in Melbourne on Dec 6, the anniversary of Cooper and the Australian Aborigines’ League protest of Kristallnacht to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Wonderful messages were given by rabbis and ministers. After messages at the East Melbourne synagogue, they proceeded to the Victorian parliament to present a Social Cohesion statement to the Premier’s representative.
Barbara wrote the statement, with a paragraph updated by Alice Young of William Cooper’s family, sections were read by Alice, other Aboriginal people present, Michael Pearce, the Hon Consul for Germany and Ps Dale Stephenson. The statement was presented to Nick Staicos, the Parliamentary Secretary for Multicultural Affairs, on the steps of the parliament. It was on a background of Norman’s painting and was presented by Michael McDonogh, the great grandson of William Cooper. Many Christian organisations had endorsed it with their logos but a copy without logos was presented. It is planned to later present it to the Governor.
Alice and her friends did a dance to Ngarra Burra Ferra on the steps of Parliament House which was very moving. I have a recent article on this song and the amazing William Cooper story. SEE HERE
This followed another Dec 6 event and flag raising ceremony at the Beth Weizmann Centre organised by the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) to which former senator Nova Peris, Michael McDonogh and Raymond Finn spoke stirring messages before coming to the East Melbourne synagogue event and speaking there.
This is the statement presented to the Victorian government

ISRAEL & GERMAN EMBASSIES HONOUR WILLIAM COOPER DEC 6
It was an honour for Norman to do the Acknowledgement of Country at the Israel Embassy in Canberra where the Israel and German embassies honoured William Cooper with a plaque on Dec 6, the 86th anniversary of the protest he led to the German Consulate in Melbourne re Kristallnacht. Leonie Drummond, great granddaughter of William Cooper, was one of the speakers. Barbara was pleased to be involved in advising on the preparations on the event at the embassy as William Cooper’s biographer. Cooper family member John Higgins and his wife Yvonne were also present as was David Jack behind the camera and Abe Schwarz who has done so much for the legacy of William Cooper.
Many embassies attended the event as did press but it was overshadowed press wise by the shocking firebombing of the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne on the same morning.
Nevertheless, it was a historic event as Germany is now one of Israel’s best supporters and the two embassies have an adjoining fence on which they will put the plaque in an event they cohosted. Norman did a prophetic act with the Acknowledgement of Country by joining the 2 clapsticks together as in Ezekiel 37:15 declaring that Israel and Germany are one and the Aboriginal and Jewish people are one. He also played the didjeridoo. We thank Glen Sebasio for making the clapsticks which Norman stayed up the night before and painted. As well as Aboriginal designs, he put a star of David on each clapstick and presented them to Ambassador Amir Maimon.
Barbara presented her book “Shattered Lives Broken Dreams” to the German ambassador while Norman presented her with a book of photographs of William Cooper and his legacy made by David Jack.

It was the 20th time Dahlia organised this yearly event which commemorates the historic UN resolution 181 of 1947 to partition the British Mandate into 2 states, a Jewish state and an Arab state.
The Jews accepted it and the Arabs rejected it. They were not called Palestinians at that time. The role of Doc Evatt and Australia in facilitating that resolution was commended. Following this resolution, the modern state of Israel was proclaimed in May 1948. The beginning Norman’s message was not videod, but he acknowledged Hashem, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel first. Most of his message can be seen here, CLICK HERE
It was an enjoyable event with a reenactment of the historic UN vote, good speeches, dance and song.

THREE SYNAGOGUE VISITS
We visited Emmanuel Synagogue on Dec 2 for the Celebrating Israel event atWoollahra which was peaceful though it was in between 2 terrorist events Nov 21 and Dec 11 which we have publicly condemned.
We also met with the President of the Great Synagogue on Dec 4. He told us that they had an event that night and knew there would be anti-Israel protestors and Nova Peris was speaking. What he didn’t know is that things would get so bad that those who attended were locked inside the synagogue for 3 hours, fearful of leaving because of the threatening demonstration. We had already gone to the Aboriginal church by then and were not present when this happening. The intimidation the Jewish community is facing is sickening.
In Canberra, we were blessed to attend the synagogue service on Saturday Dec 7 and have lunch at the home of Dr Alan and Anita Shroot afterwards, along with Robert Cussel and Jane and Tim O’Neill. It was a blessed time.
We had precious time with Jewish friends in Sydney over coffee, lunch, dinner and the Jewish film festival.

Here are our press releases with very pertinent comment on current events:
PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM AND ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS
Our Public Relations Campaign is underway though the Gofundme campaign to support it is very slow to gain momentum. We don’t have any paid staff and have limited funds. Please help spread the word about it, donate yourself no matter how small, and volunteer. We are pleased an experienced curriculum writer is looking at the Queensland schools curriculum for us to see where we can get an inroad and will help us prepare materials.
Barbara has already written a training manual for adults and upper secondary with activities. We have met with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry which is a peak body for Australian Jews and they have asked to partner with us which is great.
We are continuing with our monthly zoom seminar series and daily social media reaching out worldwide to counter lies re current events and history.
Adam Kreuzer who is Education Officer for the Australian Jewish Association is writing regular articles for our website and we have been working for a couple of years with Eli Rabinowitz of the WE ARE HERE Foundation in Perth as he is an educator.
The Australian Jewish News wrote an article about our project last week SEE HERE

EDUCATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM & DISINFORMATION ABOUT ISRAEL
USING GOFUNDME TO MAKE IT MORE PROFESSIONAL AND SUSTAINED
CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW – COMPASSION AND EDUCATION In a world where misinformation and prejudice often overshadow truth, it’s crucial to elevate voices that stand for justice, compassion, and education. The Indigenous Friends of Israel International is dedicated to fostering understanding, combating disinformation, and supporting the Jewish community both locally and internationally.

Education Campaign Against Antisemitism by Indigenous Friends of Israel International
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.
