Letter in the Canberra Times: Comparisons are hurtful, flawed and they cross a line

September 3, 2025 | Jamie Hyams

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism has been adopted by 44 countries… Included in its examples of antisemitism are “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” It should be self-evident that it is particularly hurtful to Jewish people, and completely baseless. Yet this is the entire basis of Mark Kenny’s appalling column…

Australia taking a decisive step toward protecting its Jewish and Iranian communities

September 1, 2025 | M. Mehr, Ran Porat

Tehran is forever looking for ways to take revenge against Israel, including by trying to recruit spies within the State of Israel to perform acts of violence and espionage. The regime has, moreover, never abandoned attempts to target Israelis and members of the Jewish community and Jewish organisations abroad.

Gaza ‘famine’ claims obscure the truth, and the lies are increasing hatred

August 26, 2025 | Bren Carlill

The determination by a UN monitoring body that parts of Gaza are in famine encapsulates everything that is wrong with how the international community treats the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

Netanyahu’s Sky News interview: Jamie Hyams on ABC RN

August 22, 2025

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again criticised Australian Prime Minister calling Anthony Albanese weak. Mr Netanyahu has accused Mr Albanese and other Western leaders who back a Palestinian state of trying to, quote, appease terror groups like Hamas.

Our historic ties with Israel can and must be rebuilt

August 22, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

Despite a relationship that stretches back to the ANZAC charge at Beersheba and Australia’s historic role in 1947 in helping broker Israel’s creation at the UN, the Australia-Israel relationship is now at an historic low.

With eyes on re-election, Netanyahu’s fights with world leaders aim to distract from many political problems

August 21, 2025 | Ran Porat

As the longest-serving Israeli prime minister (17 years), Benjamin Netanyahu is famous for his political wizardry and survival skills. But he is also a highly controversial figure with questionable moral standards and legacy. His latest term in office, beginning in late 2022, has been particularly challenging…

Melbourne may have fallen to antisemitism – but Australia’s unity can be rebuilt

August 19, 2025 | Rabbi Ralph Genende

It was just a month ago. The second week of July was a shattering week for Melbourne’s Jews. An attack on yet another synagogue; a burnt door with a congregation sharing a Shabbat meal intimidated. An outrageous affront on diners at the Israeli-owned restaurant, Miznon, as they sat down in the spirit of the Sabbath to sing songs and eat traditional foods.

The world continues to tell Israel what to do – is it fair?

August 17, 2025 | Justin Amler

Praise from Hamas co-founder is bad. Palestinian Authority is also a flaw of recognition

August 14, 2025 | Oved Lobel

Twenty years after Disengagement

August 14, 2025 | Bren Carlill

Disengagement was a failure, but that doesn’t mean it was the wrong thing to do. Twenty years after Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, the move still creates disagreement.

Dangerous reward for terror, antisemitism

August 12, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

The UK and Canada are the latest Western governments to join the profoundly counterproductive trend to unilaterally recognise, or threaten to recognise, a Palestinian state are regrettably now joined by Australia.

Don’t reward Hamas: Why it would be wrong to recognise Palestine now

August 11, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

The UK and Canada are the latest Western governments to join the profoundly counterproductive trend to unilaterally recognise, or threaten to recognise, a Palestinian state in response to the tragic situation in Gaza. Regrettably, Australia seems on the cusp of doing so too.
