Israel-obsessed activists’ hypocrisy exposed by their Iran silence
January 12, 2026 | Arsen Ostrovsky
Real human rights advocacy does not depend on the identity of the oppressor or the political utility of the victim. It depends on principle. And right now, such principle is sorely missing for so many of those who claim to be advocating for “human rights”.
What I learned on Bondi beach
January 7, 2026 | Arsen Ostrovsky
Lying on the ground that balmy summer night in Sydney with blood still gushing from my head, having just learned that my wife and children had reached safety, I found myself reciting the Shema, the ancient and seminal Jewish declaration of faith.
I survived Bondi. Now a royal commission is critical
December 30, 2025 | Arsen Ostrovsky
Bondi should never have happened. We owe it to those who lost their lives, and those like me who survived this horror, to safeguard Australia’s democratic values and our shared future, and ensure that the conditions which allowed such hatred to grow are confronted, exposed and never allowed to repeat.
Antisemitism threatens the very fabric of a democratic, cohesive, fair go and safe Australia
December 28, 2025 | Justin Amler
In the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attacks, Federal and State governments failed to act against the open and brazen displays of hatred, igniting a powder keg still burning today. The recommendations of the PM’s own Antisemitism Envoy spent five months basically gathering dust.
“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.
Policies to prevent hate and rebuild Australian faith
December 23, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein
Now, 15 people have been murdered. Are the Prime Minister’s announcements patches to cover his embarrassment, or does he truly want to tackle the profound problems?
A line of blood in the sand: this attack was a predictable culmination
December 23, 2025 | Allon Lee
All Australians, including the PM need to now recognise that December 14 was a bloody line in the sand, and we desperately need to identify and confront all the elements that led to its crossing.
I’m an Australian Jew: Your support, and support from around the world, really matters to us
December 19, 2025 | Justin Amler
Never underestimate the power of standing with someone who is hurting, and the impact that support has, because I know that we all feel it deeply down under in this far corner of the world.
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
December 16, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein
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.
