Topic: ANZAC, Lighthorse & Indigenous and Jewish Connections

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

Lance Waters is a First Nations leader. In 2017, he represented his grandfather Jack Stacey at the centenary of the Charge of The Light Horse in Israel. He laid wreaths for his grandfather at Beer Sheva and Semakh and has generations of servicemen in his family in the army, navy and airforce in many battles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VISION OF A RUDDER-LIKE EVENT TO TURN THE SHIP OF OUR NATION AROUND

By Barbara Miller

While praying for Australia before our church service on Saturday 27/4/24, I remembered a word the Lord had given me for an Australia Day prayer conference we held in Canberra before Covid. In it, I had a vision of a rudder that could turn around the ship of our nation back to Judeo-Christian values. A rudder is small but it can turn a big ship around. So I asked the Lord, what is the rudder we need now to turn our nation around and I was surprised to be guided in prayer that the rudder is the alleged stabbing of the Assyrian Bishop recently by a boy charged with terrorism who had shouted allahu akbar as he did it with the bishop forgiving him

On reflection, two changes occurred. One was that police and ASIO who had not acted when Jews were assaulted by Muslims, when Islamic hate preachers preached death to Jews and street protestors shouted kill the Jews etc, acted quickly this time. They found a terror network of teenagers, arresting them on the eve of Anzac Day to avert a terror attack. This may have been because a Christian Arab was attacked rather than a Jew and/or the crowds that would be out for Anzac Day. With about 2,000 rioters gathering outside the church after the livestreamed alleged stabbing, police were injured and police cars damaged because police protected the perpetrator. They were likely concerned re Arab on Arab violence.

Secondly this bishop, Mar Mari Emmanuel, already reportedly had 120,000 followers before the alleged attempted murder but now his profile is greatly increased and he is someone who is not frightened to stand up for biblical values and challenge Islam. He has visited Gaza in the past and may be critical of Israel. However, I will be praying the Lord uses him to speak fearlessly for Judeo-Christian values.

In my prayer, I also saw a stone being dropped in a pool and the ripples going out from it and felt it was healing waves so I pray that the Lord will heal our nation from the division and lack of social cohesion that has beset it and bring revival.

However, we have another development this morning in that messages on signal indicate that, a few days after the alleged stabbing of the bishop, the teens said that their next target would be Jews. This has obviously alarmed the Jewish community along with anti-Israel camps being set up at Sydney and Melbourne universities and 5-year-olds being taught by their teacher to chant “intifada” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, a genocidal call to wipe Israel and Jewish people off the map. The call to prayer is urgent so that God would turn our nation around to be a sheep nation not a goat nation (Matt 25).

SURAFEND, ANZAC DAY AND PRO PALESTINIAN TEACHERS 24.4.24

“While Surafend is a little-known part of our ANZAC history, I went there twice in 2010 and 2017, met locals and researched the history,” said author, historian and pastor Barbara Miller. “For the pro-Palestinian lobby of Australian teachers to denigrate the ANZAC legacy by rewriting it emphasizing Surafend, tying it erroneously to the Israel-Gaza war and belittling the sacrifice of so many Australian soldiers and their families on the eve of ANZAC Day is disgusting.”

Co-founder of the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace with her husband Pastor Norman Miller, Ms Miller said, “The Victorian Teachers and School Staff for Palestine (TSSP) have produced their own material with which to indoctrinate our children with their anti-Israel, anti-Australian agenda. They should at least get their facts right.

“Their 40-page booklet titled Teaching for Palestine: Challenging Anzac Day will ignore teaching resources from the Australian War Memorial though it is aligned with the national curriculum. The teachers are reportedly concerned with imperialistic and militaristic views.

“What happened at Surafend? The war was over and the ANZACs were camped near the Bedouin village of Surfend on 10 December 1918. The troops were tired of the British protecting the Arabs who had a long record of thieving and other harassment. SEE MORE

PRESS RELEASE RE SURAFEND, ANZAC DAY & PRO PALESTINIAN TEACHERS 24.4.24

“When a NZ soldier, Leslie Lowry, was robbed while asleep and murdered chasing his attacker, the Kiwis were annoyed at no response from the British command and asked the Shiekh to surrender the perpetrator.

“Failing this, the Kiwis removed the women, children, and elderly and attacked the village killing somewhere between 40 and 120 men. It is not proven that the Australians took part but they knew about it and so were complicit.

“General Allenby was furious, and, as no one owned up to it, he stripped all the men of their medals and ordered the New Zealand and Australian governments to pay reparations so Surafend could be rebuilt.

“In October 2010 and on the centenary of the Battle of Beer Sheva in 2017, Norman and I led teams of Australian and New Zealand Christians and others to the site where Surafend had been (as it was destroyed much later) and said sorry for our nations’ actions to locals.

“We presented a handwritten apology in 2010 and an apology engraved in gold on a plaque in Arabic, Hebrew, and English in 2017. We did this because of our commitment to reconciliation and our work to bring Jews and Arabs together.

“So where are the teachers wrong?

The ANZAC legend should not be “dismantled” and linked to the killing at Surafend, because while horrific, it is totally out of character with the ANZAC spirit of fighting valiantly in the Middle East with honour.
Contrary to teacher Lucy Honan’s assertion, children should not be taught the ANZACs left a long and violent historical imprint in Palestine. Surafend is only one example and it was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time of the incident above.
The League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, created Mandatory Palestine under British rule from 1920 to 1948 so the ANZACs cannot be held responsible for the British creating a prison at Surafend for Arab activists. The British were dealing with Arab and Jewish insurgents.
The ANZACs cannot be held responsible for the Arab residents of Surafend fleeing or being evacuated during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 when several Arab nations attacked Israel after it declared nationhood and Arab nations told the Arabs living in Israel to get out of the way. No casualties were recorded.
Surafend was not in the West Bank or Gaza but in the north near Rishon Le Zion.

“Pippa Tandy, a member of TSSP, said in The Australian that people link ANZAC Day to our Australian identity. So, the aim of TSSP is to dismantle, denigrate, and destroy the identity of Australians who commemorate ANZAC Day. This shows their real intent. Australians don’t glorify war but honour and respect the sacrifice of our soldiers and their families.

“TSSP want to destroy Australia and the values that hold our nation together encouraging us to be anti-patriotic and ashamed of ourselves. They would rather support the values that led Hamas to murder, burn, rape, and pillage on October 7 with their stated aim to repeat it again and again.”
