Title: Jason Steinberg – The 160 years old Queensland Jewish community is punching above its weight (*from 5:42 mins) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Jason Steinberg, President of the Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies. Jason unpacks his recent article in the Courier Mail, "The Bookends of Hatred are Closing in on Jews" details how Queensland Jews as with the rest of the Australian Jewish community post October 7, have come under attack from the escalating antisemitism now plaguing Australia from the Left and neo-Nazis. Queensland Jews were stunned when the Woodford Folk Festival late December 2023 turned into a hate fest of anti-Israel sentiment and Jew hatred. With may incidents since then, late May this year it was serious neo-Nazi graffiti on the Gold Coast, followed a few days later with 100 plus members of the Jewish community celebrating the Shavuot festival holiday at a private function, only to be gate crashed, abused threatened and intimidated by a protest bunch of left-wing and Islamic Jew haters. We hear from Jason how the nascent state of the art Queensland Holocaust Museum and Education Centre, capped off its first year winning gold and silver recognition at two prestigious international awards, and how the Holocaust museum is having a real impact educating Queenslanders young and old about the Holocaust, with the aim of educating and inspiring Queenslanders to stand up against all forms of racism and hatred.

Title: A/Prof Les Schreiber – Hate speech has nothing to do with freedom of speech (*from 31:22 mins) Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with A/Prof Les Schreiber, Associate Professor of medicine at the University of Sydney, about the reasons behind his decision to publicly criticise the recent actions of university students who turned their backs on Jewish students seeking support to stamp out on-campus anti-Semitism and were defending the existence of the Jewish state, as well as the general lack of action by the university’s administration against on-campus antisemitism. This lack of effective action has led to some faculty members leaving the university and has potential students questioning whether attending the University of Sydney is their best option for continuing their studies. Les also condemned the involvement of some faculty members in newsletters that contained virulently anti-Zionist material and called for a single Palestinian state, although the university has now clamped down on this activity. Les also reported on the ‘behind-the-scenes’ activity of the Australian Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism (the 5A group) since its formation in November, 2023.

    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM Israel At War Mythbuster – Empty words will not stop Iran. Israel will (*from 0:23 mins) Description: As the UN Security Council convened an emergency session in response to Israel’s pre-emptive strikes on Iran’s military and nuclear sites, Danny Danon, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN stood firm in defence of Israel’s actions. He went on to say: “Stop treating a genocidal regime and a democracy under siege as two sides of the same coin”. Title: Yaakov Travitz and Gary Gould – Lions of Zion: against anti-Australian behaviour in the city (*from 6:32 mins) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Yaakov Travitz, co-founder of The Lions Of Zion (TLOZ) and Gary Gould, now very much an active TLOZ member. We hear how The Lions Of Zion is a movement that has mobilised with a collective Jewish spirit of Unity, Courage and Jewish Pride, empowering individuals and the community. The Lions of Zion carrying Israeli flags and more, have been organising counter rallies and attending the pro-Palestinian Jew hating rallies that have been plaguing the Melbourne CBD most weekends since October 7. With inappropriate move-on laws and so-called breach of the peace laws, the Victoria police have not given The Lions of Zion a smooth pathway to exercise their rights to also protest and show their support for Israel and the Jewish community. The Lions of Zion have marshalled continued growing support from a broad cross section of the community, both Jewish and non-Jewish inspiring stronger unity, courage and pride within our community, and will continue to rise and face the enemies of the Jewish community, no matter who they are or how many they are, the same way our people have for thousands of years.

Title: Nimrod Erez and Wendy Sachs – “October 8”: A primal scream for the Jewish Community (*from 35:03 mins) Description: Malka Lawrence speaks with Wendy Sachs, the Director and Executive Producer, and Nimrod Erez, the Producer of “October 8” the powerful documentary that confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism in the U.S. following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. It weaves a compelling narrative that connects deeply personal testimony with the broader cultural and political forces shaping this moment in history. Directed by Wendy Sachs, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and media strategist, the film delivers an urgent and unflinching look at hate, identity, and the cost of silence. Nimrod Erez, the film’s producer, editor, and co-writer, brings authenticity, urgency, and careful storytelling. His work adds emotional depth and clear structure, helping the film deliver its powerful message without sensationalism. In this interview, Wendy and Nimrod discuss the making of “October 8”, the responsibility of truth-telling, and the role of film in confronting rising hate.
