RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ DEC 2024 no 2, Dec 16 Newsletter

Greetings and may the Lord bless you!
Celebrating the goodnews of God!

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.

UNITED WITH WILLIAM COOPER EVENT MELBOURNE DEC 6

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.

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.

Please see the website to find out more information and see the video below to be inspired. We need your help. CLICK HERE

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.

THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS ON ISRAEL, PRAYER, WORSHIP, THE APOSTOLIC AND PROPHETIC AND MUCH MORE – AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!! BE BLESSED!!!

RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ Oct 2024 no 1, Oct 2 Newsletter

Shanah Tovah! We are entering Rosh HaShannah or Yom Teruah so Happy New Year and may your name be inscribe in the Lamb’s book of life and it is if you have given your heart to Jesus. Our hearts go out to Jewish people in Israel and worldwide who have been through such a difficult year but we know that God is in control and Israel is not only protected well by the IDF but also by God’s heavenly army of angels.

PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE
See the video below for more on the prophetic significance of this feast. It begins the new year 5785. 5 stands for grace, 7 for completion and 8 for new beginnings so we have a time of double grace, completion of one season and the beginning of a new season. 

ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT
By Ps Barbara Miller

Australia and other nations keep criticizing Israel, calling for a ceasefire, putting pressure on Israel and not putting pressure on Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah to do so. This is similar to the appeasement we have seen Neville Chamberlain do re Hitler and we know the result was that Hitler was emboldened to murder 6 million Jews. We are very concerned that this puts Australia with the nations that are cursed rather than blessed (Genesis 12:1-3) and bringing judgement on us (Mat 25, sheep and goat nations). 

Through history we have had Herod, Haman, Hitler, Hamas and Hezbollah – all starting with H and seeking to eliminate Israel. Hamas means violence in Hebrew and is in the Bible. We are entering the year 5785 on the Hebrew calendar and the word “hey” is a key word for this coming year. Interestingly, it is in the name of God – YHWH. Hey means behold or look, divine breath, (the Holy Spirit), revelation and light. No matter what the enemies of YHWH do, YHWH’s people will prevail in His strength. 

I have spoken in the past that we are seeing the nations in Psalm 83 aligned against Israel in this present conflict and the nations that will come against Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war are already in place, aligned and working against Israel though this is not expected to reach fulfilment till half way through the tribulation. SEE PSALM 83 MESSAGE. 

I sense that we have a situation now that is similar to the time of Purim when Esther and Mordecai exposed the plan by Haman for genocide of the whole of the Jewish people in the Persian empire which was worldwide. Today Persia is called Iran and we have the same spirit operating that Daniel spoke of – the demonic Prince of Persia who was fighting in the heavenlies to prevent the answer to Daniel’s prayer so the messenger angel was helped in the fight by the godly Prince of Israel, archangel Michael. (Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21)

When Haman tricked King Xerxes of Persia into writing a decree to kill all the Jews on a certain day, the King’s decree could not be reversed but the King told Esther to write another decree that reversed the effect of the first decree. This decree was that the Jews could rise up and defend themselves on that day appointed for them to be attacked. They not only defended themselves but got rid of a lot of their enemies and a fear of the Jews came on the land. I sense that this is what is happening now. Israel needs not only to defend itself from terrorists but continue long enough to prevent a repeat of the October 7 massacre. (Esther 9:1,5,16) I sense we are in a time of repeating when the Jews of the Persian empire (which was 127 provinces extending from India to Ethiopia) got rid of their enemies. They didn’t start it but they finished it. At least for a time as there are more attacks on Israel to come.

I also sense that this scripture is relevant 2 Ki 13:15-19 where Elisha told the King of Israel to strike the ground and he stopped after 3 times with Elisha saying he would only have victory 3 times and not completely destroy the army coming against them because he should have struck it 5 or 6 times. Israel today needs to finish its job of protecting its citizens, not stop half way. Hamas has vowed to do Oct 7 over and over again. Hezbollah was planning an Oct 7 attack in a few days which Israel has now likely thwarted. Make no mistake – Israel is only being attacked because it is part of God’s plan for the redemption of the whole of humanity and satan does not want that. So we need to step up our prayers and stand with Israel so Messiah can come back and reign from Jerusalem, his throne.

“Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”

18Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped.

19The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”

Today is 9Av 2024 12-13 August. We are looking at even more difficult times this year with a major attack on Israel by Iran and Hezbollah and possibly other Iranian proxies imminent.

AUGUST 19 INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL ZOOM SEMINAR 7PM AEST

Speakers from left, Dr Sheree Trotter from NZ is Māori (Te Arawa). She earned her PhD in history from the University of Auckland (Thesis: Zionism in New Zealand to 1948). In 2012 she co-founded the Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation for whom she has interviewed seventy Holocaust survivors. Sheree completed an Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy scholars-in-residence course at University of Oxford in 2023. She is the co-Director of the Indigenous Coalition for Israel and the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem. 

On the right is Dalia Ayalon Sinclair from Israel with her painting in a recent exhibition there. Her art is influenced by losing family in the Holocaust. She spends part of each year in Australia and organises a yearly conference to commemorate UN Resolution 181 passed in 1947 to divide the British mandate into 2 states one Jewish and one Arab. Norman and Barbara were privileged to speak at that event at the Central Synagogue last year. Dalia is a former SBS journalist who coordinated the Hebrew language program and reported positively on the Christian group Celebration Shalom as part of this.

Kelvin Crombie has just confirmed and is well known to most of you and has an exciting story to tell which will be included in our next newsletter. Photos below are of Kelvin with Norman and Barbara Miller in Cairns and Norman and Barbara in front of teepees at the Sacred Assembly gathering of First Nations people at Sagkeeng Manitoba Canada in 1997 at which they had an opportunity to share. 

PRESS RELEASE INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL 18.7.24 – CALL FOR LIDIA THORPE TO RESIGN

“Poster girl for Hamas, Senator Lidia Thorpe, should resign. Her latest radical chic is a green Hamas-style headband in Arabic drawing attention to her ill-conceived support of their cause,” says Indigenous Friends of Israel International co-founders Norman and Barbara Miller.

“Outrage over her selfie wearing the headband on X led to her removing it yesterday less than 24 hours after posting it. Many complained about her ‘dressing up’ as a terrorist and that it was offensive and divisive, so she apologized saying she was pushing for a ceasefire.

Strangely, the Arabic script on her headband read ‘I love chocolate milk’ with the caption on her post ‘I wholeheartedly support this message. I hope you do too.’

Thorpe is pushing a narrative that the Jewish people are colonizers and occupiers of Israel ignoring the fact that it is their ancient homeland, and they are Indigenous to Israel with a 4,000 year history there.

Many nations invaded and colonized the land of the Jews over thousands of years. Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Ottomans, and Britain to name some of them but there was always a Jewish presence in the land.

When Israel reformed as a modern nation in 1948, it was decolonizing the land which had been a British mandate under the League of Nations which became the United Nations. Australia presided over the vote admitting Israel to the United Nations in 1949.

Hamas is not pushing for a Palestinian state that would include Gaza and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). It wants the whole of Israel as its maps show and it wants the destruction and removal of the only Jewish state in the world. It also wants the removal of all Jews from the Jewish homeland. This is genocidal and is in the Hamas charter.

About 800,000 Jews were traumatically made refugees from Arab lands in the Middle East in 1948 losing their homes, businesses, jobs, nationalities etc. So, it was not just the Jews of Europe who survived the Holocaust who made Israel home.

Thorpe’s misguided attempt to align the Blak Sovereign Movement with the Palestinian cause is flawed. The Palestinian people are not Indigenous to Israel.

The Jews have never invaded any land in all of history. They simply returned home, joining those who had never left.

Senator Thorpe spoke on Monday at a ‘free Palestine’ rally in Melbourne asserting that the violence in Gaza was like the attempted genocide of Indigenous Australians by European settlers.

There is no comparison here. Yes, Australia was colonized by British settlers and yes there was loss of life despite instructions otherwise by the British crown. Israel instead is defending itself against an invasion and massacre by Hamas on October 7 and trying to ensure that Hamas cannot keep its promise to keep repeating October 7. Also, the captives taken by Hamas in a war crime need to be freed.

It seems dressing up to make a point has form with Lidia Thorpe who arrived in a pro-Palestine dress at the mid-winter parliamentary ball earlier this month with the genocidal phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ embroidered down the front.

A blood-stained look at the bottom of her dress completed the picture. It is time for Senator Thorpe to resign. This was not the platform she was voted in on, having resigned from the Greens last year, supposedly a representative on environmental issues.

’Not my senator,’ many Indigenous and other Australians are saying about Senator Lidia Thorpe.”

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.
