===''Australia/Israel Review''===
AIJAC publishes a monthly magazine, ''Australia/Israel Review'' or AIR (formerly titled ''The Review''), featuring articles on issues of concern to the Australian Jewish community. ''AIR'' magazine was first established by AIJAC's predecessor, Australia-Israel Publications, in 1977 with the journalist Samp Lipski serving as its first editor. The magazine's mission was to promote the Israeli case to Australia's opinion makers. Copies of ''AIR'' magazine were distributed to members of both the [[Parliament of Australia|federal]] and [[Parliaments of the Australian states and territories|state parliament]]s, leading clergymen, academics, and journalists. By the late 1980s, ''AIR'' magazine had a circulation of 3,600 and had become a national publication with the establishment of a branch office in Sydney.{{sfn|Reich|2004|pp=203-204}}{{sfn|Markus|2004|p=118}}

Although ''AIR'' magazine's mainly focused on Israel-Palestine, the magazine also devoted considerable resources to monitoring far right figures and elements during the 1980s and 1990s such as [[Pauline Hanson]]'s [[Pauline Hanson's One Nation|One Nation]], [[David Irving]], [[Louis Farrakhan]], and the [[LaRouche movement]].{{sfn|Reich|2004|pp=203-204}}{{sfn|Markus|2004|p=118}} Key contributors have included [[Jeremy Jones (activist)|Jeremy Jones]] and David Greason, one of Australia's leading experts on the far right. In 1995, ''AIR'' and its parent organisation Australia-Israel Publications were merged into AIJAC.{{sfn|Markus|2004|p=118}}

Despite its pro-Israel editorial standpoint, ''AIR'' magazine has published interviews with Palestinian figures such as [[Hanan Ashrawi]], [[Yasser Arafat]], and [[Nabil Shaath]]. In addition, the magazine has interviewed leading Israeli figures such as [[Benjamin Netanyahu]], [[Moshe Arens]], and [[Shimon Peres]]. In addition to its pro-Israel advocacy, ''AIR'' magazine has also taken an interest in [[weapons of mass destruction]] particularly "rogue Middle East states" seeking to acquire nuclear weapons capability. By 2000, ''AIR'' magazine was devoting more coverage to Australian issues and local politics.{{sfn|Reich|2004|pp=203-204}}
