First, we mourn. And mourn again. Then, life must go on
January 19, 2026 | Rabbi Ralph Genende
This past week we observed the sheloshim for Bondi. For the past month, our beautiful Bondi, bereft of 15 of her children, wounded by her injured offspring, has been in mourning, marked by blood and broken bodies instead of beach and bronzed bodies. No garland of flowers around her lovely neck, just a heaping of wreaths at her feet.
“Blame the Jews” conspiracy theories over Venezuela and Bondi prove nothing changes
January 16, 2026 | Alana Schetzer
It took just a few hours for “Zionists” to be blamed for what went down on January 4. Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez followed a well-worn path for the regime when she claimed in a televised address to the nation there were “Zionist overtones” to Maduro’s capture.
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.
