AUSTRALIAN FIELD DIRECTOR UPDATE

The Middle East conflict continues with uncertainty over an elusive peace deal between the US and Iran. Meanwhile the threats from Hamas and Hezbollah continue with significantly less impact due to Israels upper hand and firm alliance with the US. In Australia, we saw antisemitism turn deadly in December with the Bondi massacre and continues to threaten Jewish communities and centres.

A DARK END TO A DIFFICULT YEAR

Our hearts are broken once more by the suffering of the Jewish people, this time right here in Australia. The floodgates of hate opened on October 9, 2023, when pro-Palestine supporters gathered at the Sydney Opera House, chanting hate speech and threats against the Jewish people.

With antisemitism escalating among western nations, including Australia, knowing history helps to grasp the outcome of such hatred, if it is not opposed.

A CALL FOR COURAGE

As antisemitism rages around us, can we continue to watch on passively or at worst with indifference? As we watch history repeating itself we can also see relationships beginning to fragment with support for the Jews many don’t see as important. But as history recounts, antisemitism never ends with the Jews, and requires a deeper conviction and courage to stand against this form of hate. Will you stand up?
