I’m a South African Gentile believer, a Biblical Zionist, the son of a missionary couple, a Mayflower descendant with a rich Christian heritage. For 26 years I’ve been married to Františka of Prague.

In that time I have been a kibbutz volunteer, a journalist, columnist, commentator and writer.

Australia – half-right, or all wrong?

by

Australia’s recognition of “Western Jerusalem” can only perpetuate the Arab-Israeli conflict, not, as the Labor Party fallaciously charges, because it supports Israel’s claim to half the city, but because it supports the false Arab claim to any of it. What, I have been asked, are we to make of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s December … Read more
