December 11, 2025 | Justin Amler

December 4, 2025 | Rabbi Ralph Genende
I felt more comfortable wearing my kippah in Moroccan cities than I often do in Melbourne CBD.

November 26, 2025 | Justin Amler
A charter flight carrying about 150 Palestinians from Gaza arrived at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport in South Africa. It was a chance for South Africa to display the morality, principles and genuine compassion they had long preached about. They failed on all counts.

It adopted General Assembly resolution 3379 declaring “that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
