Israel has borne many insults since Oct 7 as the nations rage and plot vain things (Psalm 2:1) but Israel must continue to do what they can to defend their citizens, bring the hostages home, while bearing their pain and anxiety.
The Jewish remnant returning from Babylon had to rebuild Jerusalem with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other… ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts
Amid the intense conflict in northern Israel, the ICEJ’s Haifa Home for Holocaust Survivors continues to provide vital care and support to its elderly residents—many of whom bear the deep scars of surviving the horrors of previous wars
This year, commemorations will be held at the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp to mark the 80th anniversary of its liberation. The event will be attended by world leaders. Auschwitz is a symbol of the Holocaust and the atrocities of World War II for most of the world.
As we face this new year, we are reminded that God continually calls us to action similar to the way the Biblical people of Israel were called to action when the ram’s horn, the shofar, sounded. The shofar was sounded for many different reasons and each time, it commanded the people’s attention.

Although life is fragile and the war is still going on, families cannot live in a state of flux forever. They need stability, for their children to return to school, for work to recommence and life to return to some sort of normality. The resilient and determined families of Kibbutz Be’eri and neighbouring villages are inspiring even greater commitment for us to partner with them in the rebuilding.
We are living in a time where we need to choose if, like William Cooper, we will stand against the oppressor. We hear of attacks on Jews that range from hateful slurs to violence, and Australia is shamefully not immune.
Jews and others have been reenacting William Cooper’s Walk for years, holding events on 6 December. That is why, this year, 2024, on 6 December in Melbourne, Christians and others are gathering to hold an event in his honour William Cooper and to call the silent majority, particularly Christians, to stand up and be counted and call for social cohesion not the hatred of Jews we have seen on our streets and universities This time, it is the turn of Christians to turn out.
