Indigenous Friends of Israel founders Norman and Barbara Miller refuted the claims of Brother Ismael recently at the Al Madina Dawah Centre, southwest Sydney that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation. He also called for Jihad.

Christian Palestinian and former Hamas royalty Mosab Hasan Yousef has condemned Free-Palestine protesters as clueless keyboard warriors.

The mainstream media is in denial of the existential threat Hamas poses to Israel and the Jews, framing Hamas as freedom fighters instead of ruthless terrorists.

While it’s shocking to hear Muslims in Western countries chanting ‘gas the Jews’, or the eliminationist ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, it’s equally concerning to hear non-Muslim Westerners writing off the atrocities of Hamas as ‘acts of resistance’.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett (whom we interviewed on The Late Debate a few weeks ago) has just released his plan to defeat Hamas.

Of the Muslims who have come out to protest in support of Hamas, many will be sympathetic to and shaped by the spiritual dynamics described in this and previous posts.

Hamas pursues a genocidal war, while blaming Israel for prolonging the conflict. This way, Hamas can have its cake and eat it too: Israel is blamed for the failure of a two-state solution, while Hamas plans for genocide.

UK television aired an interview last week with a British Palestinian woman complaining about the evils of Islamophobia in England. But ITV didn’t tell viewers that the woman had, just days earlier, publicly cheered the Hamas slaughter of Jews as a “moment of triumph”.

You pick up The New York Times and start reading about a Palestinian Islamic Jihadi missile hitting a parking lot and get the impression that an Israeli Defence Force missile hit a hospital.

Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Founded in 1988, Hamas’ name is an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement” in Arabic.

For now, Israelis struggle to cope — not just with the nightmare of such enormous loss, but with the world’s perception that they are somehow to blame.

We live in a divided world, from the conflict in the Middle East to the defeated Voice to Parliament. As I’ve thought about the various issues, here are 10 of my reflections on the Voice, and on the Israel situation.

There’s little to no justification for middle-of-the-road morality on this subject. There is no “free Palestine” while Palestinians are chained to the Islamist beast.

‘Beheading babies is bad, but what about …’ is not the way a sentence should ever begin. And yet that was exactly the message from the Australian Greens, who refused to support a motion condemning Hamas unless that motion also condemned Israel.

What lies ahead is a hard, bitter war. This is not a war which can be resolved through a negotiated settlement. Hamas has shown the world, in its own bloody way, that this is a war to destroy Israel together with its people.

The Southern Cross Alliance for Israel (SCAFI), together with those organisations listed in the schedule below, utterly condemns and denounces the terrorist attacks on Israel from Gaza commencing on 7 October 2023.

The pro-Hamas rally in Sydney on 9 October 2023 was racist, anti-Semitic and a genocidal mob that called out “Death to the Jews”, “Gas the Jews”.

The ongoing, deadly attack on Israel by Hamas could never have taken place without the active support of the last two Democratic administrations.

Hold an unauthorised march against vaccine mandates, and you’re shot at with rubber bullets. But hold an unauthorised march calling for the death of Jews, and police will help facilitate it.

A series of disturbing events have played out in Sydney over the last two days, as pro-Hamas crowds vent anger and hatred at Israel.
