COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ISRAEL – ANSWERING MEDIA ACCUSATIONS
By Barbara & Norman Miller, IFII
Do you want to be able to answer charges against Israel of (1) genocide (2) settler colonialism (3) rasicm & apartheid? Then read this brief to-the-point article.
IFII seminar – How to Respond to Accusations of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza
Mon 28 Sept 7.30pm AEST
This topic goes to the crux of the successful propaganda campaign against Israel including false charges of child killers, false famines, Hamas using civilians as human shields, false statistics etc. It is also current as an issue with 5,000 eminent people worldwide including ethicist Peter Singer recently refuting the genocide charge against Israel.
Added to this is the push by Ed Husic MP at the National ALP conference and the Labor for Palestine push at ALP branches to strengthen Australia’s anti-Israel stance including joining UK, Canada and European nations in trade sanctions against Israeli goods from settlements in Judea and Samaria (West Bank).
Speaker: Col Dr Mike Kelly, AM, Strategic Policy Consultant, Adjunct Professor at the National Security Institute, University of Canberra, Former Minister for Defence Materiel, former army officer and solicitor. Currently hosting the podcast Frontlines and Faultlines.
L-R – Rev Dr George Annadorai, Singapore, Ps Joy & Abraham Tan, Malaysia, Ps Howard & Randi Bass & Ps Shlomy & Miriam Abramov, Israel, Ps Peter Walker & Glen Sebasio, David & Carol Jack, Australia & Melodie Greyeyes, First Nations, Canada will speak briefly at our 30th birthday celebration 16 Oct 5.30-8.30pm Brisbane or UTC + 10.

Some ways forward
The discussion highlighted a number of practical steps that could help address antisemitism in Australian healthcare:
- Zero tolerance: Healthcare organisations should explicitly recognise and address antisemitism.
- Safety to report: Jewish healthcare professionals need safe and effective mechanisms for reporting antisemitism without fear of career repercussions.
- Education: Healthcare professionals should receive education about antisemitism, Jewish identity and contemporary manifestations of anti-Jewish prejudice.
- Political neutrality: Clinical environments should remain safe and professional spaces, free from political activism or symbols that may make patients feel unwelcome or unsafe.
- Support for patients: Jewish patients should be able to access culturally appropriate care without fear of discrimination.
- Strong leadership: Healthcare leaders, professional bodies and regulators need to ensure that policies are implemented rather than simply written.
- Learning from cultural safety: Australia could consider what can be learned from the development of Indigenous cultural safety in creating a more systematic approach to addressing antisemitism.
- Partnership: Jewish healthcare professionals, patients and community organisations should have a genuine voice in developing solutions.

The Resilience Blueprint: A Guide for Jewish Parents Raising Confident, Resilient Children in the Face of Antisemitism
By Barbara Miller
If you have a Jewish friend looking for practical tools, encouragement, and a positive path forward for their family, this guide is for you. It will have some tips for other parents too re resilience.
Most importantly, this guide offers hope. It reminds parents and children alike that while antisemitism is real, it does not define who they are. Jewish identity is bigger than prejudice. Jewish history is richer than hatred. And resilience can be learned, strengthened, and passed on to the next generation.
The Four Pillars of Jewish Resilience: Community, Family, Faith & Culture, and Heritage & Contribution
When to seek additional support
Practical ways to build confidence and resilience
Strategies for handling online harassment
How to work effectively with schools
What to do when a child is targeted or excluded
Ways to build Jewish pride without creating fear
How to talk to children about antisemitism at different ages
Inside you’ll discover:
Written by Barbara Miller, B.A. (Hons Psychology), Grad Dip Sociology, the guide combines insights from psychology, sociology, Holocaust education, and contemporary experience to help families respond constructively to antisemitism while strengthening resilience, identity, and wellbeing.
A free resource, the Resilience Blueprint provides practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed guidance for parents navigating these difficult questions.
Jewish parents today are facing challenges that many hoped belonged to the past. Children are encountering antisemitism at school, online, in sport, and sometimes even in places where they should feel safest. How do we protect them without frightening them? How do we build confidence instead of anxiety? How do we help them develop a strong Jewish identity in a world that can sometimes feel hostile?

Antisemitism Support and Action
Barbara Miller is an author, historian, teacher, sociologist and former psychologist and has just founded a community on Skool.
After the Holocaust of 6 million Jews and others including gypsies, political opponents, homosexuals and the disabled, the world said “Never Again”. However we have seen it again on Oct 7 2023 where 1200 Isaelis were horrifically killed, at Bondi Beach Australia where 15 mostly Jews were massacred and incidents around the world with calls to Globalize the Intifada.
So we now have a situation where antisemitism has grown like a monster that is tearing apart the social fabric of many nations including Australia, destroying the multicultural dream with divisive rhetoric and hateful actions, challenging the values our peaceful democracies were built on and traumatising Jews in Israel and around the world who just want to live their lives in peace and contribute to a better world.
Not only that, antisemitism has morphed from the ancient fear of difference and envy and scapegoating of the Jews for the world’s problems to the race-based worldview of the Nazis during World War 2 that Jews were inferior to Aryans to the current variety.
We now have the shocking inversion of Jews being falsely accused as Nazis and antisemitism masquerading as acceptable, even proud antizionism or criticism of Israel’s policies and right to exist. Not content to genocide Jews they want to genocide Israel from the river to the sea. And globalize their war on Jews.
So now, instead of the Nazis, we have what has been called a “horseshoe” coalition of marxists on the left, fascists on the right and radical Islamists, with little in common except their hatred of Jews and their desire to brand and run the world in their image.
So I have developed this community to:
· Increase awareness and provide educational materials both historic and current
· Create a community where discussion and support can occur
· Provide comfort and support for the Jewish community and others who feel grief at the state of affairs we are in and
· Encourage and equip upstanders or people of principle who want to make a difference in dealing with this scourge of antisemitism. You can join HERE
