    Title: Peter Wertheim AM – When bullets are fired at Bondi Beach that’s not just an issue for the Jewish community, it’s an issue for the whole of Australia (*from 4:18 mins)

    Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Peter Wertheim AM, Co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), about Australian universities' partial compliance with recommendations from the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights inquiry into campus antisemitism (tabled early 2025). Peter explains that the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion covers universities but extends to all antisemitic activity affecting Jewish and non-Jewish communities. He calls it the most significant event in Australian Jewish history, with audiences including non-Jewish Australians, government, and international Jewish communities — and expresses confidence that its recommendations could reduce antisemitism to pre-October 2023 levels. Peter stresses the importance of individuals writing submissions to the Royal Commission before the cut-off date of June 14th; the ECAJ homepage (www.ecaj.org.au) has links to the form and a submission guide.

She asserts that that era is over. Audio courtesy of “Future of Jewish”. To subscribe go to: https://www.futureofjewish.com/. Title:Lisa Mittleman – Hatred left unchecked to normalise ultimately ends in violence (*from 11:15 mins) Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Lisa Mittleman about her advocacy role as Director of Public Affairs and Strategy at the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA), which entails dealing with government and key decision makers to generate a positive relationship with Israel and the local Jewish community. Lisa also talks about how the horror of Bondi Beach acted as a wake-up call to politicians and the broader Australian community, and led to the (reluctant) formation of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. Lisa is highly critical of the lack of leadership in government, major institutions and the Arts sector, which led to the normalisation of antisemitism, followed inevitably by acts of violence. However, she sees the invitation to and visit here of Israel’s President Herzog as important for reinforcing the long-held relationship between the two countries. Lisa stresses the importance of individual submissions to the Royal Commission that describe lived experiences of antisemitism. People are encouraged to go to www.zfa.com.au or www.shareyourstory.org.au to access the submission form. The ZFA is running online Zoom sessions to assist in filling out the form and submitting it; two sessions remain: 8 pm on Wednesday June 3rd and June 10th.

    Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Melinda Jones, the Immediate Past President of the National Council of Jewish Women Australia and a recognised expert on freedom of speech and racial hatred, about her belief that certain phrases being used in the public domain should be prohibited and the reasons for such action. She explains why ‘globalise the intifada’ and ‘genocide’ fit into this category. Melinda also describes how a number of antisemitic incidents she suffered had influenced her to view antisemitism from a different perspective: as the inability to act as an ordinary Australian citizen and to feel the need to change behaviours in order to go about normal daily activities. Melinda’s submission to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion includes the need for the Commission to recognise that institutes authorising the public display of antisemitic material must be regulated. She also urges individuals to lodge submissions to the Commission before June 14th. Keep up with her writing by logging into ‘Melinda’s Substack’ and subscribing.

With the assertion that it contravenes international law, Sarit is grilled on the recent bombings against 100 Hezbollah locations in Beirut. Pointing out that just as Hamas does, Hezbollah uses innocent population as human shields, and that in some circumstances where providing warnings to vacate buildings will have a negative impact on the operation, the bombing of buildings with civilian collateral damage does not contravene international law.
