RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ JUNE 15.9.2025 Newsletter

May God bless you! 

An update to remind you of our IFII zoom seminar Monday 29 Sept 7pm AEST & 3pm Pacific Time &
let you know of our Declaration by Indigenous People of the Pacific Rim in support of Israel ready to sign HERE

A Declaration of Solidarity with Israel from the
Indigenous and Diverse Communities of the Pacific Rim

We recognize the Jewish people as the Indigenous stewards of the land of Israel, their ancestral homeland, where their history, culture, and spiritual legacy have been rooted for millennia. This indigeneity resonates deeply with our own connections to land, tradition, and resilience, forging a sacred bond between our communities and the Jewish people. We honor Israel not only as a homeland but as a beacon of morality, kindness, and grace—a nation that exemplifies the highest standards of humanity in the face of unparalleled challenges.

Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Rim not only have a shared indigeneity with Jewish people but the shared experience of tribal societies, close family relations, attachment to land and closeness to nature. We also have shared experiences of colonisation, dispersion, ethnic cleansing, persecution, discrimination, marginalisation, trauma and the need for resilience.

Despite this, our cultures and spirituality remain strong. We applaud the Jewish people that they have been able to retain their religion and culture, revive their language and decolonise their land with the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 forming the only democracy in the Middle East.

Hope and Victory over Evil, the Assassination of Charlie Kirk by Ps Barbara Miller 13.9.25 https://youtu.be/SwpYZwiS5rM

When I prayed at the end of this message for viewers to open their hearts and receive Jesus as their Saviour and fill that void or hole or God-space in their lives, Judy Miller who was present, saw a vision of the book of life in heaven with names being entered into it so I thank God for that. She said that when I go to heaven, people will tell me that they are there because of me.

I think this is even much more so with Charlie Kirk who opened the door of heaven for many people while he was alive so their names would be written in the book of life (eternal life). After his death, his message will bring many many more to turn their lives around and accept Jesus.

John 12.24 New Living Translation “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” Charlie loved God passionately, loved Israel passionately, loved his wife and children and nation passionately and promoted traditional Judeo-Christian values which are now counter-cultural.

He founded Turning Point and changed the lives of many young people. His death will be a turning point. While many on the left mocked, others on the left said they could not continue on the left after this callous response. Many wept and said they would follow in Charlie’s footsteps. Some commentators have said this is an issue beyond left and right wing but is good versus evil and so it is. Charlie ran the good race and won and is now with Jesus. HIs wife Erika, despite her grief, has vowed to carry on, saying her cries would become a battle cry. We pray for his wife and children, family and friends and also for the family of the killer who will be grappling with this tragedy.

CAIRNS FESTIVAL PARADE MUNGANBANA ABORIGINAL ART GALLERY FLOAT

Munganbana Norman likes to put a float in the Cairns Festival Parade each year and this year on Sept 30, the Lions of Zion from Melbourne joined us on the float. Norman called the float Let’s Dance and made a large Dancing Brolga and a large Dancing Dolphin. You can’t see the Dolphin in the photo but you can see a large Nemo or Clownfish. Norman’s family helped him again this year decorating the float.

The vision Norman had for the float was to sing and/or play the music of Christian songs and songs with good values over the city where thousands lined the streets to watch and wave. Norman particularly wanted to sing the song Jerusalema over the city, which he did to honour the holy city which is the throne Jesus will rule from for 1,000 years.

We look forward to the heavenly Jerusalem coming down over the earthly Jerusalem. Norman had asked some African dancers to join us behind the float because Jerusalema is in African but they didn’t make it. What was higly significant is that Lions of Zion from Melbourne – Isaac, Joshua and Anthony (pictured) and their families joined us which was wonderful.

SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS WITH EDUCATION AUTHORITIES

Norman and Barbara have had many successful meetings with state and commonwealth education authorities and federal ministers over our School Antisemitism Education Project. So please if you know any primary schools that would be interested in becoming part of a pilot program to test it before it gets rolled out nationally, please let us know. Also, if you know of any funding options, please let us know as we are all working voluntarily including our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane. 

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.

Father’s Day Message by Ps Norman Miller 6.9.25 https://youtu.be/3VxB9hKepbE

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.

Prophet Balaam & Tisha B’Av: the Power of Blessing & Cursing & Negative Words by Ps Barbara Miller 12.7.25

The Seventeenth of Tammuz is on July 13 and starts the 3 weeks to 9 Av or Tisha B’Av. The Seventeenth of Tammuz is a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple. The three weeks is a mourning period leading up to Tisha B’Av. However there were many tragedies that occurred on 9 Av going back to when the 12 spies were sent out to reconnaissance the Promised Land.

We launched the Schools Antisemitism Education Project in Cairns 7 July in a wonderful event at the Munganbana Aboriginal Art Gallery

Famous Aboriginal singer, artist, didjeridoo player and edutainer, Dr David Hudson spoke. David played the didjeridoo at the official ceremony for the Be’er-Sheva centenary in Israel in 2017. We were blessed to have Rabbi Ari Rubin from Chabad Rural and Remote speaking as well. He has studied in London, New York and Israel and worked globally.

Ps Norman Miller was MC and movingly sang October Rain which was sung by Eden Golan of Israel at Eurovision to commemorate October 7. David and Rabbi Ari spoke about William Cooper because he is the Father of NAIDOC and we launched this event as part of the official NAIDOC Week events. Barbara spoke on the Antisemitism Project. Two videos are available. You might like to check out our press release on examples of antisemitic events in schools. HERE

RECONCILIATION NEWZ BUZZ MAY no 2, 14.5.2025 Newsletter

May God bless you!

Two important anniversaries on May 14 – See below

Election Aftermath: Where to now re Australia’s stand on Israel and the Jewish people?”

Zoom by Indigenous Friends of Israel International Monday May 26 7.30pm. Register for FREE HERE

Speakers are Roz Mendelle, co-director of the Qld Jewish Collective and co-director of Minority Impact Coalition who was very active in the election. Ps Norman Miller, co-founder of IFI Int, who ran as an Independent in the federal election, will be the other speaker. The next newsletter will give you the flyer and registration link. Save the date and let your friends know.

One concern among many in the election result is that the Liberals lost the election resoundingly. They had accepted all 15 recommendations coming out of the Antisemitism Summit in Sydney that we attended earlier this year. The Labor party has not accepted any of them and is anti-Israel.

Anniversary of Proclamation of Rebirth of State of Israel

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

In 1949, the UN officially recognized Israel as a member state on May 11th through General Assembly Resolution 273.

This video gives the story of Ben-Gurion and the rebirth of the state of Israel. See it HERE 

Southland of Holy Spirit Declaration by Quiros

On the 14th May 1606, on Pentecost, Pedro Fernandes de Queirós (Quiros) the Portuguese explorer under the command of the King of Spain made a declaration. He thought he was on the great unknown southern continent now known as Australia but he was on the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu.

He claimed everything south of that point for the Holy Spirit, which arguably includes Australia, NZ and the Pacific. He called it “Terra Australis del Espiritu Santo” or Southland of the Holy Spirit. Norman and I have stood at the very point he declared it with local Christians and spoken at events there and conferences in Espirito Santo.

See my book which tells the amazing story of Quiros’ adventure and ours and the story of the local people. HERE

The Armour of God for Spiritual Protection and Praying in the Spirit  by Ps Barbara Miller

Pastor Norman Miller has announced he is standing as an Independent for the seat of Leichhardt in the federal election expected to be in May 2025 so please pray for him. Here is his press statement. 

PRESS RELEASE RE NORMAN MILLER STANDING FOR LEICHHARDT AS INDEPENDENT 27.2.25


Aboriginal pastor and businessman, Munganbana Norman Miller announced today that he is standing in the federal elections as an independent for the north Queensland seat of Leichhardt. Over 16% of its population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

Miller said, “I am standing because I believe the Labor government has lost its way. In sporting terms, Albo has lost his dressing room. He has lost the confidence of all Australians eg. the dreams and visions of young people to own a home.

“Australia is a nation that fights above its weight, and we need to find that common ground that brings all Australians together e.g. the values our servicemen fought for, Including Indigenous servicemen. We need to restore pride in our nation, with its Judeo-Christian values the west is based on and our democratic values.

“My campaign theme is ‘Govern for all Aussies’ and I will work for all of you. I have a 10-point plan but the two main things I’m campaigning on are cost of living and antisemitism/social cohesion/safety which is a national crisis.

“Today we find that private health insurance is up 3.73% swallowing up the Reserve Bank’s cash rate cut for 15 million members of health funds.

“The Albanese government campaigned last election on bringing down the cost of living, including a $275 decrease in electricity bills. All we have seen is increased costs -electricity (up 32%), gas (up 36%), food (up 12%), rents (up 17%). Petrol and house prices have also skyrocketed.

Inflation has been so high that we have just had the first interest rate cut in nearly 5 years. In Aboriginal and Torres Islander and country areas, prices are even worse than in the cities.

“This is hitting farmers and businesses really hard as well as Mum and Dad Australians. We are in a per-capita recession and inflation has been fuelled by a high-spending government. Interest rates have gone up 12 times since Labor was elected and mortgage repayments have become unbearable, forcing some families out of their homes. The accompanying stress has affected marriages, families and mental health.

“We have people in our nation who hate our values, who hate our nation, who hate our way of life, so we are in trouble. Rising and rampart antisemitism is one outcome of this, whether it comes from the left or the right. Because our values are based on Judeo-Christian ethics and democracy, our tolerance has emboldened the intolerant and our parliamentarians’ and law enforcement’s lack of will have let us down.
 
“This antisemitism is threatening our social cohesion and is tearing the fabric of our society apart. We don’t want our children to grow up hating one another or hating one section of our society or even hating our nation. This is unAustralian.

“Youth crime is an increasing problem causing great concern and we have recently had a home invasion in Manunda, Cairns where a woman was allegedly hauled out of bed and raped while she and her partner were held at knifepoint. This has made residents of Manunda and Cairns generally worried about their security.

“Labor’s approach to national security has weakened our nation with cuts to defence spending (now under 2 per cent of GDP).

“Community safety is a concern with over 280 serious criminals being released from immigration detention under this government, with many reoffending. Chinese warships firing in international waters just off our coastline have posed a threat to the safety of passengers in at least 49 domestic flights which have had to change flight patterns.

“Albo and his government have lied to the public saying that there was not enough warning by the Chinese of the live fire when the notification was 90 mins afterwards and a Virgin pilot was the first one to notify the government. Albo would rather risk the life of Australians than upset China.

“Albo and the Labor government would rather get votes from Muslims in western Sydney than deal with the antisemitism crisis in our nation with ASIO boss Mike Burgess saying this week that the biggest national security threat re loss of life in Australia is from antisemitism. When asked by Senator Paterson if the risk was ever this high before re a form of racism, he said no.”

Sharri Markson, Sky News and Alex Ryvchin, ECAJ at Anitsemitism Summit

Plot Foiled: Antisemitism Summit a Success

By Barbara Miller, Co-founder Indigenous Friends of Israel International

Haman’s plot to kill all the Jews in the known world was foiled by Queen Esther and Mordecai. We will be commemorating that at Purim soon. The plot by Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis, proxies of Iran has been foiled. Sadly, there have been tragic losses along the way, including the Bibas family, which has left Jewish people and their friends worldwide hurting.

I believe that what we saw at the Antisemitism Summit at the Central Synagogue hosted by Sharri Markson of Sky News and Alex Ryvchin, co-CEO of ECAJ, on 20.2.25 was an opportunity to strategize to foil the evil plot of those who would wipe out Australian Jews as well.

Make no mistake about it. There is a genocidal intent behind some of these perpetrators of antisemitism in Australia and we saw that with the Bankstown nurses rant that they would kill Jews and have killed Jews. Most Muslim organisations in Australia have supported rather than condemned them. The nurses have lost their jobs but not yet been charged.

Sharri Markson said we must not accept antisemitism as “our new reality.”

Current and former political leaders such as Peter Dutton, Chris Minns, Mark Dreyfus and John Howard, law enforcement chiefs, national security experts, legal experts, Jewish community leaders, Holocaust survivors, and Ambassador of the State of Israel to Australia, Amir Maimon came together as a stellar cast of speakers.

God Loves You by Ps Norman Miller 15.2.25

SOME EXCERPTS FROM BARBARA’S TALK ON ZOOM ABOVE

… So, what are we teaching in our schools? There is a Teachers for Palestine group who are festering hatred of Jews in our schools and wearing keffiyehs. This is the tip of the iceberg and is intimidating to Jewish teachers and students not to mention what they might be teaching in the classroom.

Jewish children need security guards at their schools and are frightened to wear their uniforms to school. Jewish university students and lecturers have been terrorized on campuses and two universities have established safe spaces for them. Many of these students now learn online from home.

We have a NSW based Nurses and Midwives 4 Palestine group who have members actively chanting the genocidal chant “From the River to the Sea” in the workplace and in uniform, often wearing pro-Palestinian badges on their uniforms. The latest was the horrifying incident of two nurses at Bankstown hospital threatening to not treat and even kill Israeli Jewish patients and saying they had already done so. So far, they have not been charged. This is frightening for Jewish people who need to know they can be treated safely in hospitals …

WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHAT NEXT?
You can help by getting the word out, praying if you are a person of prayer, providing funding, finding teachers and schools who may be interested in piloting the program, and calling out antisemitism in schools.

This is not the only example I can give but Dr Randa Abdel Fattah of Macquarie University has a $1.8 million research grant. She focuses on Islamophobia, critical race theory, Palestine, the war on terror and Arab and Muslim activism.

She took a group of children onto Sydney University and had them chanting jihad. Randa created Australia’s first early-reader book series on diversity and anti-racism. The series is called Our Stories and the 4 books in the series by diverse writers and illustrators, including Randa’s The Very Best Doughnut were shortlisted for the DANZ 2024 book award.

This is very concerning. We need to read what our children are exposed to and call out what is not appropriate. We need to find or develop readers for our children that won’t be divisive, that will encourage social cohesion, that will encourage us to be proud to be Australian and treat all our citizens well and respectfully. We need to help our teachers with units and resources that will enable them to do their jobs well in bringing the next generation through our school system. These children will be our future leaders. We need to guide them to be happy, compassionate, tolerant members of our society.

Right – 6.2.25, Robert Gregory, Australian Jewish Association with Norman at Melanie Phillip’s amazing address in Brisbane hosted by AJA and Qld Jewish Collective. Her topic was “How to Combat Antisemitism and Defend Western Civilisation.” She spoke about how Jews and Christians need to work together. We had an opportunity to talk briefly to Melanie and David Adler, AJA. Check out her book on Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/Builders-Stone-Christians-Built-West/dp/B0DT15VDW6/

RELAUNCH OF AUSTRALIA ISRAEL ALLIES CAUCUS 12.2.25

We were pleased to be invited to the relaunch of the Australia Israel Allies Caucus at Parliament House Canberra on 12.2.25. 25 MPs came in and out of the launch as they could with their commitments as parliament was sitting. Andrew Wallace is the Chair and Rabbi Riesenberg is the founding rabbi. Andrew Wallace, John Lockwood, Rabbi Riesenberg and Ambassador Amir Maimon spoke.

John Lockwood said the Israel Allies Foundation Australasia, of which he is Chair, had been formed to support the Caucus. He mentioned the Indigenous Friends of Israel International school antisemitism program. Senator Sarah Henderson, Opposition Minister for Education, told us at the end of the meeting that she had been briefed on our education program by her advisor and was supportive. David Jack of SCAFI was behind the video as was media. This photo only has some of the participants of the event including the Millers.

The previous leaders of the Caucus were former MPs Eric Abetz followed by Stuart Robert. Rabbi Riesenberg gave a very moving address of how his synagogue in Melbourne had been attacked by pro-Palestinian activists.

The night before, we were blessed to listen to Stan Goodenough speak at the ACT Jewish Community Centre about the dangers of the two-state solution for the survival of Israel especially when the Palestinians only want a one-state solution with the eradication of Israel and the Jewish people.

EDUCATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM & DISINFORMATION ABOUT ISRAEL

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 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.

PRESS RELEASE 24.1.25 – NO ANTISEMITISM PLEASE ON AUSTRALIA DAY & INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY 

“We are approaching two very important commemorations – Australia Day on January 26 and International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27. The latter is particularly significant as it is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi concentration camp,” said Norman and Barbara Miller, Cofounders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International.

“We do this at a time when our nation is facing a crisis of social cohesion, the lack of moral clarity and will to act of our government, and forces that would gladly tear the fabric of our society apart.

“Cultural Marxists who jump on every bandwagon including Indigenous rights and the rise of antisemitism since October 7, Islamo-fascists and neo Nazis – all unlikely bedfellows, have been on the streets every weekend for 15 months now ripping up the peace and safety of Jewish Australians and holding all Australians to ransom….” READ MORE
