We must dismantle the structures that allowed antisemitism to take root
December 19, 2025 | Paul Rubenstein
If Australia wishes to remain the Lucky Country, then it must act – not symbolically, not cautiously, not only when convenient. Because the cost of doing nothing will be far greater.
The horror of being proven right
December 18, 2025 | Justin Amler
Jewish community bodies kept warning that things were getting worse — that if it was not addressed, it would only be a matter of time before people were killed. Yet much of Australia’s cultural elite insisted that this all was either a moral panic, a hoax, or a red herring… The worst offenders made the antisemitic claim that Jews were “weaponising” antisemitism to shut down debate about policy toward Israel.
Jewish Australians are shocked but not surprised

We already know that the atmosphere of vicious antisemitism and incitement must have contributed. It’s something our Jewish community has been pleading with governments and authorities to act on vigorously for more than two years.
After the War: Israel’s revival, America’s power, and the Palestinian narratives

The war in Gaza appears over – at least for now… This is an opportune moment to examine what the conflict meant for the three key players: Israel, the United States, and the Palestinians.
The IRGC and its criminal proxies
November 4, 2025 | Oved Lobel
While Iran’s long-standing global links to criminal networks to conduct surveillance, harassment or attacks demonstrate malign intent and the desire for deniability, it also reflects Iran’s extreme weakness and desperation, which forces it to rely on unknown freelancers, incompetent criminals and organised crime groups already penetrated by local law enforcement and domestic intelligence agencies.
Surviving Bondi
December 19, 2025 | Arsen Ostrovsky
I had just gone to get some food while my family sat down to watch the lighting of the menorah when the carnage began. I turned and ran towards my wife and children and was shot in the head. The doctors later told me that the difference between life and death was mere millimetres, and that it was a “a miracle” that I had survived.
The scene of the crime

A return to the decimated Gaza border communities… What do the communities think about rebuilding even as Hamas reestablishes itself in Gaza?
After Bondi
December 19, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein
It is desperately important that Bondi must represent the beginning of a transformational watershed in Australia’s approach to the scourge of antisemitism that has plagued our country for more than two years. If it does not, this must raise very serious concerns about the future of Australia as a tolerant, multicultural liberal democracy, as well as of our own community.
