A rabbi’s dream of Morocco

December 4, 2025 | Rabbi Ralph Genende

I felt more comfortable wearing my kippah in Moroccan cities than I often do in Melbourne CBD. The community may have shrunk to just several thousand, but in Casablanca you can find a minyan, kosher food and a Jewish school to send your kids. Most  astonishingly, Jewish Dayanim sit as respected officials in the Casablanca Court.

Venezuela, the Jews and the “Axis of Resistance”

December 3, 2025 | Justin Amler

Across history, it’s an old story: when societies struggle, many leaders find it easier to blame Jews than fix their own problems, as Venezuela demonstrates today.

The ABC: A Law unto Itself

November 27, 2025 | Allon Lee

A scandal involving the BBC’s news and current affairs coverage, including its reporting on the Hamas–Israel war, prompted similar analysis of the ABC. The ABC’s response was effectively, “Biased? Us?”

More unites Australia and Israel than divides

November 27, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

Even before it convened, it was a given that this year’s Australia-Israel Strategic Dialogue… was going to be especially memorable. In fact, the conference, co-hosted by AIJAC… exceeded expectations in many ways.

Australia’s surrender of its streets

November 26, 2025 | Joel Burnie

Despite laws prohibiting racial vilification under Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, this protest was approved explicitly targeting “Jewish lobby groups” and that should have immediately set off alarm bells. It didn’t.

International hypocrisy on full display

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.

After 50 years, the damaging legacy of “Zionism is racism” lives on

November 13, 2025 | Jamie Hyams

Fifty years ago this week, on November 10, 1975, the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the United Nations managed the considerable feat of achieving the nadir in its heinous history of appalling discrimination against Israel.  It adopted General Assembly resolution 3379 declaring “that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.”

Hamas’ deadly deception is part of a pattern

November 7, 2025 | Justin Amler

On October 28th, in a sickening example of the deception and psychological warfare it wages on the public, Hamas attempted to deceive Israel and the world in a grotesquely staged show involving the remains of a murdered hostage.

Sydney Peace Prize honours long record of twisted morality

November 5, 2025 | Arsen Ostrovsky

By choosing to honour Pillay, the City of Sydney and Sydney University are sending a dangerous message: that antisemitism and double standards, cloaked in the language of human rights to vilify Israel, are acceptable, and indeed to be rewarded with public platforms and taxpayer funds.

Why do Gaza hypocrites ignore African horrors?

November 4, 2025 | Arsen Ostrovsky

If the blood of innocents staining Sudanese soil is visible even from space yet invisible to the human rights world below, our problem isn’t blindness. It’s wilful hypocrisy and moral decay.

To rebuild Gaza, remember how Germany rose from the rubble

October 31, 2025 | Bren Carlill

If it is serious about ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the world must treat Hamas’ defeat as the defeat of an existential ideology – just like it did with the Nazis – rather than merely a border dispute to be negotiated away.
