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.

Maurice Klein speaks with David Slade, President of UIA-Keren Hayesod Victoria. We hear from David who has been to Israel many times and recently led a UIA Mission to Israel, that it was "resonantly profound" and a reminder of why the UIA -Keren Hayesod commitment to the people of Israel has become a priority for him. David walks us through the mission to Israel and the current important UIA- Keren Hayesod projects and programs that are paramount for the immediate support for Israel and that the UIA directly has supported over two million people last year. With a very engaged UIA Young Leadership division, David tells us how the generational change has also become front and centre for the organisation. To volunteer and support UIA-Keren Hayesod go to www.uiaaustralia.org.au, email info@uiavic.org.au or phone 03 92725533. Am Yisrael Chai.

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. To support and join The Lions of Zion standing up against all the antisemitism now plaguing Australia, click on www.thelionsofzion.com or on Instagram the.lion.of.zion. Yasher Koach Lions of Zion.

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. Now screening at the Classic and Lido Cinemas in Melbourne, and at the Ritz in Sydney.
