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.

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?

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.
Appeasement has a price – and the hostages are paying it
August 11, 2025 | Justin Amler
Hamas and its terrorist affiliates released these latest videos not just to document their horror, but to taunt grieving families and torture a nation still in trauma – a nation locked in a war that seems to stretch on endlessly.
