Statement from ZFA President Philip Chester on the intercepted Iranian arms

Tuesday 11 March 2014 The Zionist Federation of Australia strongly condemns the shipment of dangerous weapons that Iran attempted to smuggle into the Gaza Strip last week. Disguised as a shipment of cement, it contained 180 heavy mortars, 400,000 bullets and dozens of M-302 rockets that have the capability of striking almost anywhere in Israel and was about to find its way into the hands of those who have repeatedly warned of their desire to do so, even at civilian targets.

Appalling: AJDS Settlement Boycott

Joint statement from Philip Chester, President, Zionist Federation of Australia and Sam Tatarka President of the Zionist Council of Victoria: The Zionist movement in Australia is appalled by the Australian Jewish Democratic Society's campaign which encourages people not to buy products produced in Israeli communities beyond the Green Line. The idea that a Jewish organisation that purports to be a part of our community supports (even a part of) the insidious campaign of delegitimisation being waged by Israel's enemies is not only repugnant and immoral but also unfathomable. The leaders said: "Campaigns that work to deepen the divide rather than encouraging mutual respect and recognition delay rather than hasten the true and lasting peace for which we all hope."
