I have never experienced a more challenging period to live as a Jew

November 3, 2023 | Colin Rubenstein

The Oct. 7 atrocities are already being forgotten
October 25, 2023 | Justin Amler
It should be simple: Israel experienced one of the worst, bloodiest, most inhuman terror attacks in modern times, perpetrated by a genocidal extremist group listed as a terrorist organisation in Australia and around the world.

Why is this so hard for people to remember and understand?
