In the German movie Das schreckliche Madchen (The Nasty Girl), a high school girl is determined to win an essay prize by writing about her little town’s brave resistance to the Nazis during the Third Reich. Everyone is delighted. But, as she delves deeper, she finds the terrible truth:
The Waikato Settlement Centre is a building in central Hamilton to support immigrants and refugees from around the world. The recently revamped and extended building, partly funded by Hamilton City Council, was due to open last Thursday but that got cancelled when there was news of a planned Palestinian protest
Barry Brownstein AIER Barry Brownstein is professor emeritus of economics and leadership at the University of Baltimore. Let us be wary of the soothing narrative that downplays the seriousness of growing antisemitism. The belief that Jew hate will diminish once the Israel-Hamas war concludes may be misguided. As I go

For years, evidence has been growing of the damning links between UN agencies – its Palestinian UNRWA in particular – and Hamas terrorism. The UNRWA was first caught out distributing violently anti-Semitic propaganda in the guise of “textbooks” for Palestinian schoolchildren. But October 7 laid bare much worse: hundreds of UN employees
After years of the left seeing ‘Nazi symbolism’ in even the most ludicrous places, a former Nazi symbol adopted by a modern terrorist group was flown from the roof of the Australian parliament. And the increasingly openly anti-Semitic left couldn’t have been more chuffed. A group of ‘pro-Palestinian’ supporters
Dave Patterson Liberty Nation While most of the world is focused on Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah is wreaking havoc. Since the horrific October 7 attack by the Hamas terrorists on southern Israel, the continuous barrage of Iran-supplied Hezbollah missiles and mortar rounds has been more of a sideshow to the
Since the October 7 atrocities, Israel has seen its staunchest ally, the United States, turn lukewarm at best. At the same time, a sickening wave of anti-Semitism has swept the West – and shows no sign of abating. By contrast, a formerly staunch ally of the Arab cause – the first non-Arab
Both George Santayana and Winston Churchill averred that “those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it”. This is true enough, but it is also true that, while history often repeats, it rarely does so by carbon copy. The trends may be the same, humans
PM Anthony Albanese and his government’s weakness and duplicity since October 7 are wakening a spectre that hasn’t haunted Australian politics for half a century. A beast that once nearly broke the Labor party and is threatening to again. Sectarian politics. In the 1950s, divisions between Labor’s

This dichotomy – official co-operation with Israel, coupled with covert sympathy for anti-Semitic Islamic ideology within the military – persists in Egypt today. The Egyptian military, like Iran and Qatar, knows Hamas’s leadership
Compare and contrast these two news articles. Both are about Jerry Seinfeld being heckled by pro-Palestine protestors. The first, from Newshub, takes the point of view of some random woman named Chloe Jamieson whose only qualification is that she was at the show. From this journalism expert we learn that
Any doubts that the Australian Labor Party have sold their souls to pander to the Muslim vote have been dispelled for good. The party’s kid-gloves treatment of ‘rat’ Fatima Payman gives the jig away for all to see. Western Australian senator Fatima Payman has crossed the floor to vote
