The Zionist Council of NSW (ZCNSW) is the roof body of 48 Zionist organizations in NSW (Australia), supporting Israel and strengthening ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ฑ friendship!
It was an inspiring show of communal support for #Israel today, with hundreds of members of the community, as well as Federal, State and local politicians, coming together at Central Synagogue, to show their solidarity with Israel, in wake of the recent terror campaign from Gaza.
๐ข Statement by ZCNSW strongly applauding Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP and the Australian government for their principled decision to stand with #Israel and withdraw from the 20th anniversary of the infamous Durban UN conference and hatefest.
Full statement below ๐๐๐
โThe ZCNSW is disappointed at @AustralianLaborโs seeming departure from long-standing strong bi-partisan support of #Israel, in seeking to unilaterally recognize Palestinian state.โ

As #Israel heads to 4th election in 2 yrs, we are excited to host on 21st March @Jerusalem_Post Chief Political Correspondent & Analyst @Gil_Hoffman, in conversation with ZCNSW's @Ostrov_A, discussing all the key issues & players.

I had a very good conversation with my friend Australian FM @MarisePayne. I thanked her for Australia's clear & decisive stance that the decision of the ICC is fundamentally wrong. I congratulated her on Australia's success against Corona & updated her on our vaccination program.
The @ZC_NSW applauds Foreign Minister @MarisePayne and the #Australian government, for their principled support of #Israel & commitment to int'l law, by objecting to the politically charged and legally flawed decision of the @IntlCrimCourt.

'Justice, justice shall you pursue.'
ZCNSW welcomes Supreme Court decision to extradite #MalkaLeifer. Our hearts are first & foremost with the courageous victims, who have displayed incredible strength & bravery during this ordeal, today one step closer to realizing justice!
#BREAKING Malka Leifer has LOST her Supreme Court appeal against a ruling that she should be extradited to Australia to face 74 charges of child sex abuse. Israelโs Justice Minister must now sign off on Leiferโs extradition and Israel will then have 60 days to put her on a plane.
Wishing everyone a very Happy #Chanukah!
Like the Chanukah miracle, may the light of religious freedom prevail over intolerance, hope over despair and light over darkness. ๐ฏ
ZCNSW Director of Israel Affairs @Ostrov_A was delighted to meet with @AusAmbIsrael, who has just assumed his post in Israel. We wish Amb. Griffiths bโhatzlacha (all the success) in the new exciting role & are sure that ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ฑ will only continue to go from strength-to-strength!
Not the Aussies, they didnโt! #Australians stand up for their mates! ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ
Thank you PM @ScottMorrisonMP, FM @MarisePayne and @AustraliaUN, for your principled leadership, for standing with #Israel and saying โnoโ to this gross UN bias against the Jewish state.
FACT: #Australia was instrumental is the success of the #PartitionPlan and #Israel's establishment! Australia's Doc Evatt, chaired the UN committee that saw through the successful vote on partition & Australia was first to vote in favour. cc. @IsraelinOZ@AusAmbIsrael
"The vote seemed as long as the Jewish exile itself, lasted only 3 minutes."
#OTD 1947, UN voted on the #PartitionPlan. 33 Yes, 13 No, 10 Abstentions.
Jews now experienced what generations before us could only dream: Jewish sovereignty in our ancestral homeland, #Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฑ
We are delighted our Director of Israel Affairs, @Ostrov_A, was able to join Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce & ZFA, along with dozens of Aussie ex-pats & mates of Australia, to โwelcomeโ new @AusAmbIsrael, Paul Griffiths. ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ
History in the Making ... again!
