“I’m not religious but I started praying”: Arsen Ostrovsky in the Jerusalem Post
December 26, 2025 |
Arsen Ostrovsky was at Bondi for a Hanukkah celebration. Minutes later, he was injured in a terror attack, and Australia was forced to look at its Jewish community through the harshest possible lens.
When I called him afterward, I expected anger. Instead, he offered something quieter, and maybe more explosive: “I feel alive.”
Now is the time for healing, not laying blame
December 26, 2025 | Jamie Hyams
At this time we should all be prioritising the healing of those impacted by this tragedy, first and foremost the devastated Jewish community, and the prevention of further attacks. Those who put their own needs and politics above that are doing the entire country a grave disservice, and frankly, should take a good, hard look at themselves. They are part of the problem, not the solution.

The IRGC and its criminal proxies

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.
