The history of the Shepherd's Field, from its Old Testament origins with Ruth and Boaz to its visitation by angels at the birth of Jesus, is a reminder of God's sovereign plans for our lives.

Israel has done everything possible to facilitate food aid going to those in need, but often, it has been stolen by the terrorists. That the International Criminal Court could conclude Israel’s leadership has deliberately murdered civilians has no basis in fact.

We have been given a golden opportunity, a second chance, to react, like David, to the great challenges before us. If we set our hearts on returning our nation to the values on which it was founded, the values found in the Bible, the momentum will build, and leaders will arise.

What is it about the Jews that cause them to be hated, maligned and misrepresented throughout history?  Surely, it must be because, by their very nature, they remind the world of God.

Following the hugely successful World Prayer Assembly in Perth in October 2023, Suva, Fiji was chosen for the Pacific Prayer Assembly (PPA) between 17-20 October 2024. Amazingly, the date selected, initially without realisation, was the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles.

The recent disturbing violence in Melbourne at first made me angry and then very sad. Is this what Australia has become? Gird your loins: the battle is just beginning.

Hamas wants a ceasefire, but only on its terms. If Hamas laid down its arms, there would be no more war. If Israel laid down its arms, there would be no more Israel. If Israel withdraws, Hamas will redouble its efforts to destroy Israel. This will not bring peace to Israel.

Horses have long been known to initiate sweet exchanges with those they sense are in need of comfort. Traumatised or disabled children have shown unimaginable progress after interacting with a horse sensitive to their needs.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a historic fourth appearance to address the US Congress in Washington DC to appeal Israel’s case to an international audience.

The pinpoint precision of Israel’s attacks on leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah is breathtaking. If Iran thought Israel had failed in its military intelligence over the October 7 massacre, they must be re-assessing after these two incredible strikes.

It is deeply concerning that the learned judges on the ICJ have sullied their reputations once again by making a biased and discriminatory Advisory Opinion on Israel.

What a tangled web we weave when we don’t know what we believe. Watching Prime Minister Anthony Albanese do verbal cartwheels would be funny if it didn’t have such serious consequences.

We live in a world where the facts matter, and should matter. If you repeat things without bothering to check if they are true, you are helping to make a world where lies and truth are easier to confuse.

Josh Frydenberg, the former Treasurer of Australia, is a proud Australian and proud Jew. Feeling deeply the effects of antisemitism in his own life, he has produced an outstanding video calling out Antisemitism for what it is – one of the most deep-seated hatreds in the world today.

Tim Costello, former CEO of World Vision and chief advocate for the Alliance for Gambling Reform, claims to have reached a personal crisis. His opinion piece is titled: “I am a Christian but my tribe supports Trump, I feel like I no longer belong.”

Our universities have become unsafe for Jewish students, while Jewish businesspeople have had their shops graffitied and trashed. The Prime Minister’s office in Marrickville has been unoccupied since January because of continuous pro-Palestinian protests. Why is this tolerated?

In a speech to a parliamentary session of his Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the capital of Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan denounced Israel’s ground campaign in Rafah, while also attacking the United Nations.

In the name of free speech and academic license, woke ideology has infected our universities' hierarchies. This explains why violent and disruptive protests in support of the terror organisation Hamas meet with very little resistance.

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested arrest warrants for the PM and Deputy PM of Israel, as well as three Hamas leaders. That the highest court in the world has equated the leaders of the terrorist group Hamas with the elected leaders of Israel is an outrage.

All our vain posturing, criticism, and attempts to stem the rising tide of social problems actually have a solution — so simple, it’s easy to miss. Instead of trying to address the results, the only real solution will be found when we address the source.
