A Kafkaesque time for the Jewish people
September 27, 2024 | Rabbi Ralph Genende
Antisemitism should matter to all Australians… The failure of religious leaders, politicians and people of good conscience to loudly condemn the desecration of a synagogue space or the violent invective against Jews – from city councils to protest rallies, from schools to shopping centres – is dangerous.

So my daughter’s birthday wasn’t a night of drinks and revelry. Rather she, along with millions of Israelis, spent that weekend anxiously awaiting Iran’s promised “reprisal” attack, and I spent it some 13,000 kilometres away, in a sleepless daze, glued to the “red alert” app which tracks rocket attacks
The UN continues to ignore Israeli victims of terrorism
