  • Partition blues are only for the Jews

    History has seen many countries and geographical areas divided by partition. In Europe, two recent examples are Belgian and Luxembourg. Both countries were established by partitioning off southern parts of the kingdom of the Netherlands in the 1800s. Historical and present-day geographical partitions are usually due to existing ethnic, religious, cultural and language divisions and…

  • On food, fasting & feasting

    Cassie of Sydney Jews love to eat! But what human being on the planet does not like eating scrumptious and delicious food? Food and feasting are sensual human pleasures and pastimes. Food does not just fuel our bodies, it also fuels and stimulates our taste buds, our minds and our souls. However, some cultures and…

  • Some thoughts on mothers, drag queens, trans, groomers & grooming

    Why are parents, and in particular mothers, taking their children to drag queen shows and drag queen story hours in public libraries? This phenomenon of provocative drag queens performing in front of children was unheard of as little as five years ago yet now, probably because we are living in the middle of a woke…

  • Prideland

    I have often wondered what it must have been like for ordinary people in Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia, Korea, Iran, and other countries, to wake up and realise they were living in a country that had been overtaken by a sinister, fringe, and radical political ideology. Did they think the political madness would pass and…

  • It’s time to celebrate men and masculinity

    There is a Yiddish word I am sure many here have heard of before. The word is “mensch”. Mensch, in its original meaning, is not a word to be used flippantly. Calling a man a mensch is a serious compliment, to be used sparingly, it’s a word of praise that extols the virtues of a…

  • Definition of far-right in 2022

    In the wake of Giorgia Meloni’s fantastic win in Italy yesterday, the MSM have gone into overdrive, screeching and screaming how Meloni is “far-right”.  So I thought to myself, what do the left and their mouthpieces mean when they smear someone as “far-right”? Well, I have come up with the following.  The definition of “far-right”…

  • The other half of the rainbow

    Over the last few months Sydney has been drenched in rain, yet last week the rain stopped, and a blue sky broke through after days of dismal and gloomy grey, and I observed from my Sydney office the appearance of a beautiful rainbow in the sky. I looked at the rainbow with awe and was…

  • A lament for Boris

    Firstly, let me state categorically that I’m not celebrating Boris Johnson’s resignation.  I remember the euphoria back in December 2019 when Boris and the Conservatives were elected in a landslide. Okay, okay, his opponent was Albanese’s great mate, the Jew hater and terrorist loving Jeremy Corbyn, but it was and remains an amazing win. With…
