Dear family & friends,
the people of Israel are praying for you at this terrible time.
[My long time friend Arsen Ostrovsky who thankfully survived.]
The Channuka Massacre was worse per capita for Australian Jews than Oct 7.
Yet by October 8 Israel had already killed more terrorists (1500) than people it lost (1200).
Israel has defeated its enemies, killing more than 60 terrorists for every IDF soldier lost.
The hostages are home.
Almost every Oct 7 terrorist is dead.
Their sponsors in Tehran & Qatar strategically defeated, Hamas &Hizbollah destroyed.
Israel is stronger, safer and more prosperous than it has ever been.
The Australian government abjectly failed to protect Jews yesterday with 4 police freezing and failing to return fire and backup police being slow to respond despite Bondi police station being 1 minute away.
The fact that an unarmed civilian had to act to prevent further killing is an appalling indictment upon Australia’s security services. I say this as someone who served in the Australian Army Reserve.
They ignored Israeli government terror warnings.
They ignored 3 burnt Shuls (synagogues).
They allowed violent anti-semitic protests when their brutality against Free Speech and Bodily Autonomy during COVID proves they can act when they want to.
They rewarded terror by recognising a fake terrorist state.
Now they are using the crisis to make it more difficult for law abiding Australians, including Jews, to protect themselves from criminals & terrorists, who will always be able to get guns.
Jews chose Australia because it was safe, prosperous & free - far from the troubles of the world.
Today none of these things are true.
Today Israel is safe, prosperous & free - a light unto nations in the center of the world.
It is time for Aussie Jews to come home.
We will welcome you with open arms and love and you will know that everyone around you will protect you and your children.
Chag Sameach
