Indigenous Friends of Israel Respond to the UN Vote on Israel-Hamas War
NORMAN & BARBARA MILLER 15 DECEMBER 2023
“Each-way Albo has turned Australia into an each-way state trying to appease the antisemites and appear to be friendly to Israel at the same time. Chamberlain has shown us that the path of appeasement is dangerous as it just emboldens those with no moral conscience,” said co-founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel, Norman and Barbara Miller.
There can be no peace with an enemy that wants to destroy us with its genocidal claims of “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.” This calls for the annihilation of the only Jewish state in the world and driving all its people into the sea. Only the hateful or naïve would agree with it.
Indigenous Friends of Israel was responding to the UN non-binding vote for an immediate ceasefire in the Hamas-Israel war. Australia was one of 153 nations who voted in favour of it, while the US was one of 10 nations who voted against it, and the UK was one of 23 nations who abstained.
We agree with Israel’s ambassador to Australia, Amir Maimon, who said he finds it difficult to understand how Australia can support Israel’s right to defend its people from terrorist aggression, while also voting in support of a ceasefire that will embolden Hamas.
“This war can only end with Hamas being totally defeated and the liberation of all our hostages,” he said.
Hostages Must Be Returned
The Millers said, “Shame on the Australian government voting for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war at the UN and shame on the UN. This is siding with a terrorist group rather than a nation legitimately defending itself against the most horrific terror act on October 7 and the repeated statements by Hamas leaders that they will continue to perpetrate as many attacks like October 7 as possible.
Indigenous Friends of Israel founders Norman and Barbara Miller condemn the ignorance, racism, and antisemitism of the Greens MPs in the Australian Senate in recent weeks and of the Greens’ mayoral candidate for Brisbane, Jonathan Sriranganathan.
The Millers wrote: “Mr Sriranganathan created a post calling for Zionists and Nazis to be excluded from a protest rally he was calling to scrap the Gabba Olympics. Was this in the name of inclusion which the Greens usually call for?
For someone who hopes to be Lord Mayor of Brisbane to be equating Zionism and Nazism shows political naivety and poor judgment and he should make an apology to the Jewish community of Brisbane as has been called for by the Qld Jewish Board of Deputies.
ISRAEL HUMANITARIAN APPEAL By Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace
Help Israel recover from Oct 7 bloodbath and its aftermath by donating to ministries run by Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi of Dugit Ministries Tel Aviv (left) and Ps Howard and Randi Bass of Yeshua’s Inheritance Congregation Beer Sheva.
There are thousands of Jewish people displaced by the terror that occurred on Oct 7 with their homes and communities destroyed. Some of those affected were Holocaust survivors. Many just left with the clothes on their backs and are in need of help. Lives have been turned upside down. It is not safe yet to return and rebuild and probably won’t be for a long time.
For any donation from Australians over $70 AUD, you can receive a copy of Ps Munganbana Norman Miller’s painting of From Mourning into Dancing based on Psalm 30 and Ps Barbara Miller’s book William Cooper, Gentle Warrior: Standing Up for Australian Aborigines and Persecuted Jews. The flier above done for us by our friend Tim Jack, shows you how to donate
Thanks to those who have donated already. Funds have been transferred and we have posted out the books and prints promised to those who donated $70 or more. God bless you!!!
Genesis 12:1-3 – The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

Norman and Barbara spoke at the Celebrate Israel event at the Central Synagogue at Bondi Junction Sydney hosted by Dalia Sinclair. Norman and Barbara are pictured here with Dr Ron Weiser, Hon Life President of the Zionist Council of NSW, who also spoke, and Robert Schneider CEO of the Australian Friends of the Hebrew University. This is the 18th year the event was held to commemorate the anniversary of the 29 November 1947 resolution 181 of the UN to divide the British Mandate into a Jewish state and an Arab state.
There were interesting messages and informative video clips of a historical nature affirming the legality of the Jewish state. The Evangelical Sisters of Mercy attended and have given wonderful support to the Jewish community over the years. You can glimpse the seats reserved for the Hamas hostages in the background.
Barbara was asked to read a statement by Mark Pollard that he read at Tzemach in Israel in 2019 when a statue of the Australian Indigenous horseman, in the likeness of his grandfather, was unveiled. The statue shows him holding a Bible and leaning down to a fallen mate. She gave a brief introduction of when Norman and Barbara took a team of ANZAC Christians from Australia and NZ to Tzemach to pray in 2010 and took an international team of 50 there in 2017 to a special ceremony as part of the 100-anniversary commemorations at Beer Sheva etc. This video shows Dalia introducing Barbara. Unfortunately, a video of the whole event is not available – SEE IT HERE
Norman Miller Indigenous Friends of Israel speaking at Celebrate Israel event Sydney 29.11.23
Norman was asked to bring a blessing at the end of the event and it happened that he was to speak after Leeron who gave a very emotional talk about her reaction to the news of her friends’ fate as the October 7 massacre in Israel unfolded that day.
He was unable to speak, choking back tears. Eventually, he spoke about Israel rising up on the wings of eagles and he sensed to repeat Ruth’s words to Naomi in Ruth 1:16–17, This was not caught on the video but most of his message was. We had asked permission to invite some of our Christian Arab friends to attend and one of them said to us later that Norman’s tears spoke more than his words.

LEFT – Norman Miller at Bring Them Home rally at Bondi Beach Thursday 30.11.23. A large crowd gathered. RIGHT – Tali Kizhner, mother of Segev who was killed on October 7 in Israel spoke movingly to Sky News. Sharri Markson was interviewing her remotely and broke down during the interview. Tali and team spoke to other media as well. A group of Israeli families of those murdered or kidnapped on October 7 by Hamas is in Australia to raise awareness and get help to bring them home.
Unfortunately, the Israeli families were re-traumatised by a pro-Hamas group that blocked their entrance into a hotel in Melbourne at 10.30pm recently. The police had to take the Israelis to a police station for a few hours till they could clear the protestors who were not arrested. This was disgusting and the police are not doing their job.
There has been great support from the Jewish community as expected and a few Christians turned up to give support in Canberra. Support from Christians in Sydney has not been seen much physically though many are probably praying. We have found open arms to us for our support as antisemitism rises around Australian at an alarming rate.
LEFT – Barbara lighting a candle for those held hostage by Hamas. Fortunately, some have been returned in a prisoner exchange where 3 times the no of Palestinians held for crimes were released for Israeli hostages. The women on the left are the Israeli families who are lighting candles along with Jewish women who normally attend the Central Synagogue. Norman and I were blessed to be invited to the Central Synagogue on Friday night to the Shabbat meal and service as guests of Dalia Sinclair. The Rabbi and a team had just returned from Israel. Ambassador Amir Maimon and his wife attended.
RIGHT – I gave copies of my Voice Treaty Truth book to Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Senator Kerrynne Liddle, received by their staffers at Parliament House Canberra on 28.11.23. Their role in the voice referendum is covered in the book as well as a photo of Norman presenting them with a boomerang he made saying “No Racism in the Constitution.”

Indigenous Friends of Israel Decry Islamic Preachers’ Calls for Jihad by Norman & Barbara Miller
8 NOVEMBER 2023
Indigenous Friends of Israel founders Norman and Barbara Miller refute the claims of Brother Ismail recently at the Al Madina Dawah Centre, southwest Sydney that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation. He also called for Jihad.
Indigenous Friends of Israel also raises concerns that not only has the Al Madina Dawah Centre not distanced themselves from this, but it has released a similar tirade from another preacher. No other Islamic organisation has taken issue with this call to kill Jews either.
Hamas is recognised as a terrorist organisation in Australia and other nations and the slaughter, torture, and mutilation of Israelis, many in their beds, the burning alive of families, raping women, beheading babies, killing children and elderly including Holocaust survivors and kidnapping is a terrorist act. It has unleashed a bloodlust around the world for Jewish blood, which is what was intended. This cannot be justified under any circumstances. SEE MORE

They have hosted seminars on the prophetic gifts and prophecy in Scripture.
Avner regularly writes informative newsletters to encourage prayer for Israel and to help God’s people be more aware of current events in Israel and around the world from a biblical perspective.

Unfortunately, Rabbi Ari Rubin from Chabad NQ had to draw attention to the bullying of Jewish schoolchildren in Cairns. Children at private and public schools called Jewish children “dirty Jews” and one 11-year-old Jewish girl was circled by schoolchildren shouting “Free Palestine” to her. This is inexcusable antisemitism, racism, and intimidation. Indigenous Friends of Israel has responded by trying to get antibullying education from Courage to Care into these schools. We were able to get Courage to Care into many schools in the Far North run by Catholic Education a number of years ago.
Above is an interview we did with “The Cairns Post.”

ANNIVERSARY OF KRISTALLNACHT ZOOM MEETING HOSTED BY INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL 9.11.23
Hear Ps Avi Mizrachi of Dugit Ministries Tel Aviv and Ps Howard Bass of Yeshua’s Inheritance Beer Sheva share at 6.30pm Brisbane time, 7.30pm Sydney, 7pm SA & NT, 4.30pm WA, and 10.30am Israel time.
The photo is of Germans passing a Jewish shop with windows broken during Kristallnacht 9-10 Nov 1938. It was the start of the Holocaust. It is taken from my book Shattered Lives Broken Dreams.
It is with sadness that we tell you that 1930’s Nazi Germany is here again, this time with Islamo-fascism, hatred of Jews and rampant antisemitism, On October 7, the hope of Never Again was shattered. With 1400 Jews tortured and slaughtered, many in their beds or safe rooms, it was the highest number of Jews murdered in one day since the Holocaust.
The October 7 barbaric onslaught on civilians in Israel has sparked a blood lust around the world to annihilate the Jewish state and Jews wherever they can be found in the world. We see it on the streets of western nations like Australia, the US, the UK and Europe
We are calling this zoom meeting on the anniversary of Kristallancht or the Night ot the Broken Glass in Germany where Jewish homes and businesses had their windows broken, synagogues were burned , over 90 Jews were killed and thousands were forced to wear stars of David and marched to a concentration camp.
This time, Jewish families were burnt alive in Israel, Jewish businesses are being vandalised in the United States, Jewish diplomats are wearing stars of David at the UN and Jewish children in Australia can’t wear uniforms to school for fear of being attacked. Actual attacks on Jews are occurring around the world. Jewish university students in Australia are having to sit their exams segregated in safe places.
In my book If I Survive about Lena Goldstein, she talks about how she experienced the attacks on Jews by other students at university in Poland and she and other Jews were not able to complete their studies.
Incredibly, Israel is being blamed for what has happened. It is a classic blame the victim narrative. Worse it is a narrative of cultural Marxism where the Marxists talk about the “useful idiots” in academia, the media and government (even churches) who swallow their ideology that there is only one way of looking at the world – oppressors and the oppressed. Despite being the most multicultural nation in the world, Israel is painted as the white oppressor of coloured Palestinians. It is painted as occupiers of Gaza even though it pulled out in 2005.
We grieve about all innocent victims of this Israel-Hamas war to root out the terrorists – those slaughtered mercilessly in Israel and those civilians killed by Israeli retaliation in Gaza including those used as human shields by Hamas. We know Israel tries hard to avoid civilian casualties but Hamas wins the media war at the toll.
We pray for innocents to be spared and for Christian Arabs in Israel and Arab lands to be safe as well. We pray for God’s angels to be stationed on the borders of Israel to protect her against Iran and its proxies – Hezbollah in Lebanon, proxies in Syria and Iraq in the north, the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza and the Houthis from Yemen firing on Eilat in the south.
We pray Lord that You would comfort your people in Israel and worldwide from the grief of loss of loved ones and fear from threats to their very existence and heal the wounded. I woke up the other morning with the words “existential threat.” Israel and the Jews worldwide are fighting for their very existence, their survival as a people and as the only Jewish nation in the world, the only democracy in the Middle East. And we stand with Israel. Isaiah 40:1-2 “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God. “With gentle words, tender and kind …
Please join us Thursday night and stand with Israel as well. Zechariah 2:8 says:
“For thus says the Lord of hosts, “After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye’.”

INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL & TABERNACLE OF DAVID CAIRNS CONFERENCE
We were very blessed to have Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi and their family – daughter Devora, 2 grandchildren and nephew Eden and niece Linoy for our Indigenous Friends of Israel and Tabernacle of David Cairns conference 18-20 August. They came from ministering in the Solomon Islands. It was a very anointed conference and we were all so blessed. This was just 2 weeks after Ps Norman and Barbara had hosted a Church and Cultural Challenges conference in Canberra.
We were also blessed to have David and Carol Jack come from Melbourne and for David to video both conferences. He is still working on these but in the meantime, we have a few not-so-professional videos of the Cairns conference for you to look at on YouTube. We started with a Shabbat meal and ended with an amazing prophetic act of the tribes aligning themselves with the tribe of Judah and Israel. These are not available as yet.
This photo was sent to Barbara by an Egyptian intercessor concerned at the Australian government’s decision to use Hamas terminology that the West Bank (which includes East Jerusalem) and Gaza are “occupied territories” rather than Australia’s previous position that they were “disputed territories.” Hamas, a terrorist organisation, is hailing this decision. It is also inaccurate in that Israel pulled out of Gaza many years ago. This decision was made a few days prior to the National ALP conference in exchange for the Socialist Left’s support of the AUKUS defence agreement.
The Southern Cross Alliance for Israel (SCAFI) also put a press release out on 15 August signed off by John Lockwood and 30 mostly Christian organisations with some Jewish. David Jack did the leg work on it to get agreement on the wording. Our Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and Indigenous Friends of Israel are 2 of the signatories.
The ALP has long had a position to recognize Palestine as a state though it doesn’t meet the requirements internationally recognized for a state. There was a push at this conference to recognize Palestine as a state immediately. However, after some debate, it was decided that the status quo would remain.
Indigenous Friends of Israel had a meeting after the conference of state and city coordinators so we are stretching the tent pegs as in Isaiah 54 so if you are interested, please let us know. Non-Indigenous people can be associate members as we believe in reconciliation. Email us here: https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/contact-us/

Hi Saints – Don’t Miss Out on this Amazing Conference – Church and Cultural Challenges!!
MESSAGE FROM CINDY MCGARVIE, NATIONAL DIRECTOR YOUTH FOR CHRIST RE ABOVE CONFERENCE
I’m looking forward to the conference in July! In my session, I’ll be presenting a perspective on what I see happening within our culture in regard to our children and young people — a battle for their very souls.
There is a term known as ‘the fog of war’ and it refers to the situation when a military suddenly finds itself in a battle where they have no idea of the location and capability of the enemy, nor the location and capabilities of friendlies. The solution to this is to quickly gather intelligence so that you know what to do. Intelligence reduces the ‘fog of war’—it helps to sort out the truth.
My goal is to provide some valuable intelligence for the spiritual battle that has been intensifying rapidly to equip Christian leaders and parents to fight for our children. ………. See flier below for Cindy’s photo and bio. She has also authored amazing books as well as being on the frontline of the battle for our children and youth. Books are Jesus Revolution: Real and Radical, Lost Boys: Bring Them Home, and The Next Revolution.
