Title: Michelle Pearse - Silence No More: Confronting Antisemitism in Australia (*from 0:23 mins)
(Original broadcast date: December 20, 2023)
Description: Michelle Pearse, CEO, The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) calls out this rampant spread of hatred that demands our collective voice and strong, decisive leadership. As we face this unprecedented geopolitical crisis, our nation stands at the doorway of a dark, divisive chapter we are not prepared for. The soul of our nation is under attack, and history will judge our passivity swiftly. We must cut out metastasising hate before it consumes us. The ACL stands against hate; they stand with the Jewish community, and raise a resounding voice for a safer, more compassionate Australia.
Title: Hon Alexander Downer AC – calling out antisemitism in Australia (*from 5:51 mins)
(Original broadcast date: November 29, 2023)
Description: Maurice Klein speaks with the Hon Alexander Downer AC, who is an Australian former politician and diplomat who was leader of the Liberal Party from 1994 to 1995, Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1996 to 2007, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom from 2014 to 2018. Alexander tells us that Hamas, the Palestinian government of Gaza, are not people campaigning for a two State solution; they want to kill the Jewish people, eliminate the State of Israel and deny the Jewish people the right to self-determination. He does not see the situation that Israel is addressing as just the brutal cruelty of October 7, he sees it as a challenge to our whole civilization, and therefore the military capabilities of Hamas must be completely destroyed. We hear that Alexander has been shocked by the degree of antisemitism in Australia, with the left leading the march and describing the Australian Greens as an antisemitic cult and should be called out for their antisemitism! According to him the left sees everything in the world about power relationships, the oppressed and the oppressor, once the Jews were the oppressed and now they are the oppressors; all Palestinians are oppressed and all Jews are the oppressors. He goes on to say that the UN's special rapporteur Francesca Albanese doesn't deserve to be taken seriously, she is just a warrior for Hamas and her visit to Australia did the UN brand a great deal of damage with the UN completely playing themselves out of the game. Also the United Nations Relief and Works Agency - UNRWA, are real Israel haters.

Title: Senator Jacqui Lambie – Terrorists don’t care; so smarten up Australia (*from 32:19 mins)
(Original broadcast date: December 13, 2023)
Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Senator Jacqui Lambie, the Independent Senator for Tasmania, who does not hold back calling out terrorism and the rising level of hateful antisemitism in Australia. It is shameful that Jewish schools and Jewish institutions require security and many Jewish students are fearful of exposing their Jewishness. Senator Lambie directs much criticism at our educators, teachers, lecturers and academics, calling them out as cowards. They have a job to do and it is not to incite hatred and violence, with Senator Lambie being at a loss as to why disciplinary action has not been taken to bring them into line and to focus on teaching our students. Senator Lambie calls out women groups for not calling out the sexual violence perpetrated by the Hamas government of the Gaza against Israeli women and children. All the anti-Israel antisemitic hatred is un-Australian, and how is calling for a ceasefire helpful when you are dealing with terrorists; Hamas are criminal, coward, terrorists who don't care and have no respect for human life! Senator Jacqui Lambie, wears her heart on her sleeve with an absolute moral clarity, a Mensch, and is a true friend of the Jewish community. Bless her.
