“If I Survive.” This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In ww2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide.
The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers and World War 11 (wwii). The Warsaw ghetto where the Nazis had imprisoned the Jews was being emptied as Hitler’s Final Solution to murder all of European Jewry was put into action. Lena kept thinking, “It’s my turn next.” As some Jews escaped Treblinka and exposed it as being a death camp not a labour camp, young men and women in the ghetto decided to make a stand.
We have set up the TALK Institute to run our school antisemitism education program rather than Indigenous Friends of Israel International so please check it out and help us get the program into schools anywhere in Australia.
Indigenous Friends of Israel Seminar – ANZAC, Lighthorse & Indigenous & Jewish Connections
Speakers Barry Rodgers OAM Light Horse Assoc, Lance Waters, Indigenous descendant of ANZACs, Adam Dostalek, Filmmaker “Ride Like an ANZAC.”
Host Barbara Miller shared her and Norman’s experiences hosting tours to Israel a number of times visiting sites of World War 1 and 2 including Be’er Sheva and Tzemach. She highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of ANZAC servicemen. Barbara expressed concerns about the erosion of Australian values and the need to address ANZAC modules in schools rewritten by pro-Palestinian teachers to bring shame on our servicemen and Australia.
This meeting discussed the Australian Light Horse’s role in the 1917 Battle of Be’er Sheva and its significance in helping establish the modern State of Israel. Barry explained the characteristics of the Australian Light Horse and their mounted infantry tactics, while Lance shared his personal connection as a descendant of Indigenous Light Horse troopers who participated in a centenary commemoration in Israel. Elsie Amamoo, shared how she reenacted the charge of the light horse at the centenary to honour her great grandfather.
Adam presented his documentary film “Ride Like an Anzac,” which combined footage from both a commemorative bike ride and a horse reenactment of the historic charge, highlighting the previously overlooked Indigenous involvement in ANZAC forces. The discussion also covered the need for better recognition of Australian contributions in Israel and the importance of preserving these historical connections for future generations.

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.

Indigenous Friends of Israel Intern seminar US Israel War Against Iran: Israeli Women Speak 30 3 26
This impacting and moving zoom meeting focused on the US-Israel war against Iran and the experiences of Israeli women living under fire. The meeting featured presentations from two Israeli speakers, Miriam Abramov and Carolyn Margolin-Hyde, who shared personal accounts of life in Israel during the ongoing conflict.
Miriam described the daily challenges of living with constant missile attacks, including the need for bomb shelters and the psychological impact on civilians. Carolyn shared stories about her family’s experiences in northern Israel and highlighted humanitarian efforts, including her daughter’s work to build bomb shelters for children.

Right – Norman & Barbara Miller lay wreaths at Be’er Sheva 2017 with Uncle Boydie Turner (William Cooper’s grandson) & Abe Schwarz behind them. Norman & Barbara led an international team of 50 through holy and military sites in Israel and hosted a Sons of Abraham conference in Jerusalem. They prayed on all borders as well and prayed at all the places God made covenant with Abraham and he built altars to the Lord.
Don’t miss our next zoom seminar on the current situation in Israel! Israeli women under fire tell us what it’s like. Don’t be surprised if at least one has to rush to a bomb shelter during our session. Only half of Israelis have their own bomb shelters and have to rush to the nearest public shelter. Sadly some have not made it.
Speakers Miriam Abramov – She pioneered several fruitful projects in her homeland Israel over 35 years including an aid centre helping Holocaust survivors and refugees. Miriam studied the Jewish MA degree track in Western Seminary and holds her Bachelor of Theology from Israel College of the Bible.
Carolyn Margolin-Hyde and her husband welcome tour groups into their Galilee home for hazbara, public relations on behalf of Israel, encouraging the nations to pray for Aliyah and Israel. Carolyn has many music videos from her original songs in Hebrew and English. She recently visited Australia.

Norman and Barbara Miller interviewed on L’Chaim to Life Listen to podcast 25 Feb 26
The message “When God Paints” emphasizes that God is the ultimate creator and artist, revealed through the beauty and complexity of the world. Nature—such as the sky, oceans, forests, animals, and colors—reflects God’s glory, creativity, and power. Humans, created in God’s image, are also given creativity and unique gifts, which should be used for purpose and growth.

STRIKE ON IRAN ON SHABBAT ZACHOR, A BLOW AGAINST TERROR STATE & ANTISEMITISM
By Barbara Miller 1.3.26
Today’s Haman, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had a similar plan to eliminate worldwide Jewry, met the same fate and on the eve of Purim – his own death. And the Jewish people live. Am Yisrael Chai.
The US and Israel attack on Iran, ancient Persia, over its nuclear and ballistic missiles and sponsorship of terrorism targeted at Israel occurred on Shabbat Zachor. This is the Shabbat before Purim which starts Monday evening. On Shabbat Zachor or the Shabbat of Remembrance, there is a supplementary reading to the parashah or torah portion. It is Deuteronomy 25:17-19 and it commands the people of God to remember the evil of Amalek and obliterate it from the earth, “obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.”
Did Israeli and even American leaders know that they fulfilled this command by striking Iran on Shabbat Zachor? I think they did. They may have even timed it for this reason.
The commandment was given when the Israelites were coming from Egypt into the Promised Land and the Amalekites attacked the stragglers, weak and elderly at the rear. The commandment was repeated by GoD to Moses in Exodus 17:14-16 when Amalek attacked them at Rephidim, challenging God’s throne, just before they got to Mt Sinai where God made covenant with them and gave them the ten commandments.
Another attempt to prevent Israel’s destiny was when David and his men returned to their camp at Ziglag to find their camp burnt and wives taken captive. This could have prevented him becoming King but he led a successful rescue. Sadly, this is near present day Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza where some of the worst atrocities occurred on October 7 and we visited there recently.
So. it is no surprise that, though the Amalekites have disappeared as a race that Israel has a habit of calling all its enemies Amalekites. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the term Amalekites re Hamas so the prosecutors used this to accuse him of genocide at the International Court of Justice hearings. The jury is out so to speak but the damage has been done.
Why would Amalek have a murderous hate of Israel? He was the grandson of Esau, twin to Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Esau despised his birthright and inheritance and sold it to his brother for a bowl of lentils. Jacob tricked his father into giving him the blessing so Esau’s anger and jealously has been handed down through the generations. The covenant promises are through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that was God’s plan.
So, we come to the story of Purim where Haman, the Agagite is a descendant of King Agag of the Amalekites and Haman wanted the Jews in Persia to bow down to him as Prime Minister. When Mordecai refused, he got King Xerxes 1 to write a decree to have them exterminated in all the empire on 13 Adar 356 BCE. But Queen Esther (Hadassah), secretly a Jew, was asked by Mordecai to intervene. She asked all Jews to fast and pray for 3 days and then she went to the King.
When Haman’s plot was revealed, the King instructed Haman to be hung on the same gallows he’d constructed for Mordecai. As decrees could not be cancelled, the King instructed Esther and Mordecai to right another decree to reverse the effect of the first one. This meant Jews could defend themselves and even pre-emptively strike those they believed intended to kill them. The threat was eliminated and the feast of Purim instituted to celebrate.
We come back to the Shabbat Zachor strike on Iran which in some ways was pre-emptive and in some ways defensive as Iran has been responsible for funding and training many proxies to attack Israel – Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and militias in Iraq, Syria and the West Bank (Judea/Samaria.)
Israel was on the brink of signing an Abrahamic Accord with Saudi Arabia when Hamas attacked on October 7 with the aim of blowing the accord out of the water. It would have been a historic breakthrough in relations in the Middle East. Israel is now on the brink of a new breakthrough with the weakening and possible demise of the Iranian regime. Interestingly, it was the 47thPresident of the United States that has brought 47 years of Islamic terrorist rule in Iran to the brink of collapse.
I want to make two final points:
It was Persia, ancient Iran, which produced Cyrus and other kings who enabled the Jewish people to return from Babylonian captivity and financed the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. We need a modern-day Cyrus in Iran who will favour Israel and may even sign the Abraham Accords or similar with it.
I take the commandment of Deuteronomy 25:17-19 about remembering the evil of Amalek and eradicating it from under heaven about being a call to us, Jews and Christians, to obliterate the spirit of Amalek which is a spirit of violent antisemitism. While radical Islam is one manifestation of it, it predates Islam by many centuries.

PROPHETIC PRAYER AND VISION OF JESUS AND HIS FOOTPRINTS AND HANDS ON BONDI BEACH 25.1.2026 BY PS NORMAN MILLER
Lord, even though we saw what took place before Christmas, we saw what took place on BondI. But Lord, I pray in this place, in this lake of Galilee, from this city. I pray Lord that there will be a catch because of the network and the influence of that network will carry and it will carry and it will draw because it will be a network Lord of people that you’ll bring together and Lord that it will be strengthened in your word in your foundation. It will be people like heart like mind. Though there are differences, but Lord, it’s you that brings about and makes a difference because of your word and the promise of your word. It will be a people of influence, importantly godly influence that you’ll bring into this network of ministries that love you, that serve you, that honor you, that will stand shoulder to shoulder Because there will be much more that you will do.
And the influences, Lord, that right now that you’re calling them to come together because it’s you that will bring them together. And Lord, we pray that even as the disciples, they were in the boat, they didn’t exactly need another boat or a bigger boat because they had you as the lordship and the kingship and you were steering them and you were healing them and you were restoring them. And as that restoration came, Lord, they were built because of you and the word of your foundations and the strength of your foundations. The word of the Lord of Jerusalem came strongly into their hearts and into their spirits and they were able to carry out as that network of people that you have joined together to bring in such a harvest to reach out. You were drawing them, Lord, for a time.
And even as the catch and they were able to come together and have that meal together, have that breakfast together with you that you will draw that network of people that right now that you’re speaking to the hearts to. And Lord, what took place on the beach of Bondi there? You will establish that beach head ministry. And Lord, even as I’m praying, I I looked on the front of my Bible and it gave that scripture of all the words of footprints. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. And you will call us to carry the task that you’ve given us. Your promises are yes and amen. Your covenant promises are yes and amen.
Lord, right now that you speaking to the hearts of men and women even in this nation. And Lord, even right now, I can just see your footprints in the sand deeply printed. In the sands of that beach and your hands, Lord, as we have heard the miracles that you’ve done. In the sadness of that tragedy, you will turn around for your good, the saving of many souls for your kingdom. And so Lord, the response that will come from a people that you you are speaking to right now.
When we hear them say, “The Lord spoke to me and I said, “Here I am, Lord. Send me. Here I am, Lord. Use me. That will be the response of a heart of obedience that will hear the wave and move of your Holy Spirit, the wave of your glory. And Lord, I know that you will position men and women that will come on board. And as the surfboard goes out and is ready to catch that wave, we ask and pray, Lord. There will be those that will respond and they will say, “The Lord spoke to me.” The confirming word. Because out of this place of devastation, the goodness of God will come through and shine forth. the light of the world. Shine your glory. Shine your presence. Heavy way. Heavy weight. Heavy weight. And in that song that we all know so well this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.

REPENTANCE FROM A CHRISTIAN LEBANESE STANDING IN THE GAP FOR ARAB NATIONS FOR THE EXILE AND THEFT OF 850,000-900,000 JEWS FROM ARAB LANDS IN 1948 AND ONWARDS
By Lilian Schmid, Prayer Coordinator, Prayerstrategy.org
As a Born-Again Christian Lebanese from my father’s side and Syrian from my mother’s side, I stand in the Gap, and I ask forgiveness on behalf of my Government and other Phoenicians and Arabic nations.
I also repent on behalf of all Lebanese, Syrians and other Arabic nations the way have treated the Jews and stole their properties and inheritance.
After the establishment of Israel in 1948, many Arab governments enacted policies that led to confiscation of Jewish property, revocation of citizenship, and forced exile. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Libya, and other nations were displaced, often leaving behind homes, businesses, and cultural heritage that had existed for centuries.
A repentance prayer or declaration on behalf of those governments, here’s a structured draft you could adapt for your prayer guides or communal use:
Repentance Declaration on Behalf of Arab Governments
Acknowledgment of Wrongdoing We acknowledge before God and history that Jewish communities in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and across the Arab nations were unjustly stripped of their homes, properties, and livelihoods. They were uprooted from lands where they had lived for generations, contributing to culture, commerce, and society.
Confession of Sin We confess the sins of theft, injustice, and expulsion committed by governments and authorities who denied Jewish people their rightful place and dignity. We recognize the pain caused by these actions, both to individuals and to the collective Jewish people.
Repentance and Turning On behalf of these nations, we repent for the arrogance, hatred, and violence that led to such grievous wrongs. We turn away from the spirit of antisemitism and hostility, and we ask for forgiveness from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Appeal for Healing We pray for healing of historical wounds, restoration of dignity, and reconciliation between Jews and Arabs. May the injustices of the past be redeemed by acts of justice, mercy, and truth in the present and future. Commitment to Change
We commit to stand against antisemitism in all its forms, to Honor the Jewish people, and to seek peace and blessing between nations.
We intercede and Pray for modern Arab governments to acknowledge past wrongs and pursue reconciliation. • Declare: Speak blessing over Jewish communities worldwide, especially those who were displaced. • Stand: Commit to resisting antisemitism in all its forms and to honouring the Jewish people. • Release: Proclaim Isaiah 61:7 — “Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.”
Closing Blessing May the God of peace heal ancient wounds, redeem stolen inheritances, and release His blessing over both Jews and Arabs. May nations be transformed by His justice and mercy.

The Nazis shatter glass and shatter the lives of European Jews at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. An Australian Aboriginal, William Cooper, leads the campaign for civil rights for his people who are dying of poverty and mistreatment around him. 1938; two worlds, far apart. Cut to the core after Kristallnacht, can he do anything to stop it?
Described as Australia’s Martin Luther King, Cooper leads the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Would the Third Reich pour out its wrath on them? Would they make a difference?
A Chair of Resistance to the Holocaust was named in honour of Cooper at Yad Vashem. His grandson, Alf Turner, becomes passionate about fulfilling his grandfather’s unfinished business and taking the protest to Berlin itself. How will he be received?
This true story will inspire you to stand up and be counted and to make a difference.

Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.
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 avolunteer 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.
