Bibi’s revelations highlighted Iran deal’s failings

May 10, 2018 | Tzvi Fleischer

ON April 30, Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu revealed one of Israel’s greatest intelligence coups – that it had obtained an entire archive of around 100,000 secret files on Iran’s nuclear program.

According to media accounts, in January Israeli spies broke into a secret Tehran warehouse, stole the documents and brought them back to Israel the same night.

Fresh from his state visit to the White House, French President Emmanuel Macron is in Australia this week.

While the official announcement from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Macron is coming to talk about trade and defence industry partnerships, security – particularly the future of the Iran nuclear deal – will also feature on the agenda during the three-day stay.

Myths and facts about Gaza’s ‘march of return’

Myths and facts about Gaza’s ‘march of return’

April 17, 2018 | Tzvi Fleischer

The demonstrations along the Israel–Gaza border dubbed the ‘Great March of Return’ are a calculated and desperate propaganda move, largely organised and funded by Hamas alongside other terrorist organisations.

In Her Criticism of Daniel Pipes, Patton Continues to Miss the Point

I am pleased that, in her latest article replying to me, Chloe Patton has been prepared to engage more substantively with what Daniel Pipes had to say while visiting Australia…

Hamas always happy to expend Gaza lives as part of its deadly theatre

Hamas always happy to expend Gaza lives as part of its deadly theatre

April 5, 2018 | Colin Rubenstein

Last weekend’s Gaza violence in which 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces was not what it might have seemed. It certainly was not the peaceful protest, or the massacre of innocent civilians, that Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and their supporters claim.

Australia should fund Palestinian welfare

Australia should fund Palestinian welfare, but not “pay to slay”

April 3, 2018 | Sharyn Mittelman

A key obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians is the institutionalised incitement to anti-Israel violence by the Palestinian Authority (PA)… Perhaps the worst aspect of this incitement, however, is the PA’s “martyr” compensation scheme, which incentivises terrorism by providing lifetime monthly stipends to convicted terrorists and to the families of slain terrorists.

As relations with North Korea thaw

As relations with North Korea thaw, Iran poses a bigger threat

March 15, 2018 | Colin Rubenstein

Comments made by US President Donald Trump about the sacking of his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson highlighted the fact that while the threat to world peace posed by North Korea has dominated the headlines in recent months, Trump is determinedly focused at least as much on another rogue state, which probably poses an even greater threat in the longer term – Iran.

It's time Australia recognised Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organisation

It’s time Australia recognised Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organisation

March 1, 2018 | Colin Rubenstein

THERE is a group that was ­described by a senior US ­security official 15 years ago as the “A-Team of terrorists” and has only gone from strength to strength in the years since then. This group perpetrates violent acts against civilians, calls for mass murder and, by its own admission, doesn’t differentiate between its political and military arms.

Yet Australians are effectively free to fly this group’s flag, fill its coffers and offer it material support, even as its operatives undertake terrorist ­activities in our region.

History's real lessons on Iran

History’s real lessons on Iran

February 22, 2018 | Tzvi Fleischer

Several recent articles have called on President Donald Trump to change the Iran policy of the United States based on ‘past lessons’ and Persian history. If we follow these writers to a logical conclusion, then they appear to accept that Iran must be appeased and accommodated, not confronted or contained, in its drive for regional hegemony, support for terrorism and pursuit of non-conventional weapons.
