Food, lies and videotapes

While the world is focused right now on Iran, it’s important to remember the war in Gaza continues. On Sunday, Israeli security forces recovered the bodies of three more hostages…

Questions over the legitimacy of the US-Israeli attack on Iran fail to grasp the threat — and the opportunity

June 24, 2025 | Ran Porat

There was also substantial evidence supporting the imminence of an Iranian threat. Recently released intelligence suggested that Tehran was accelerating its weaponisation of highly enriched uranium and restocking thousands of new ballistic missiles.

A critical first step to stability

June 23, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

The US intervention provides much greater confidence that Iran, a regime committed to dominating and destabilising its neighbours, international terrorism, and destroying Israel – and that was illegally trying to build nuclear weapons to facilitate all three objectives – is about to be thoroughly defanged.

Three reasons Israel decided to act against Iran now

June 20, 2025 | Allon Lee

IAEA reports say that Iran now possesses enough 60% enriched uranium to produce the cores of between nine and ten nuclear warheads in less than two weeks. Iran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to have ever enriched uranium to this level – an enrichment level with no legitimate civilian use.

Gaza, hunger and Jewish tradition

June 19, 2025 | Rabbi Ralph Genende

The Israeli Government’s controversial policies regarding aid fortunately appear to be working – Hamas is certainly desperate to stop the GFH food distribution and reports say it is in dire straits without the looted aid flows. Yet these policies have seen Israel’s reputation badly damaged.

Iran-Israel war: Why now and what happens next

June 19, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein

It is Iran’s behaviour over decades that made the current Iran-Israel war, precipitated by Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear, missile and defence infrastructure last Friday, inevitable.

Nuke showdown was inevitable

June 19, 2025 | Ahron Shapiro

According to Israeli intelligence, in recent weeks Iran had secretly begun working on developing all the components of a nuclear warhead and therefore had crossed the final red line and triggered the last-ditch option Israel had set for itself: to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites and other affiliated targets.

World a safer place if Iran doesn’t have nukes

June 18, 2025 | Oved Lobel

The most recent IAEA report in June said Iran had accumulated more than 400kg of 60% enriched uranium, an increase of nearly 50% since the IAEA’s February assessment and potentially enough for at least nine nuclear weapons. There’s no civilian use for such material…

Israel’s attack on Iran: The nuclear ‘point of no return’ and the operational window

June 17, 2025 | Ran Porat

Israel has taken a tremendous risk, aiming to place the final stamp on a dramatic shift in the regional balance of power. For this to happen, a diplomatic “end game” in the form of an agreement that eliminates Iran’s capacity to destabilise the region must follow the military campaign.

Peace first, then statehood

June 3, 2025 | Bren Carlill

Recognition would be a no-brainer if Palestine was a state. The 1938 Montevideo Convention provides the definition of statehood, and Palestine doesn’t meet it (and never has). Which means recognition is about messaging: a country recognises Palestine to reward it; punish Israel; and/or signal its virtue.

The hypocrisy of international outrage

May 30, 2025 | Justin Amler

A recent joint statement from the UK, France, and Canada, along with a similar one by 24 countries including Australia, criticising Israel’s military operations and humanitarian efforts, is just the latest example of manufactured indignation.

Murder and hatred in the heart of the free world

May 26, 2025 | Justin Amler

While we should all be shocked by this horrific and terrible act, we cannot claim to be surprised. This hatred didn’t begin last night in Washington — or even after October 7. It has been building for decades.
