Morry Frenkel speaks with Josh Burns MP, Labor’s Federal Member for Macnamara, about the recommendations of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights’ recently tabled report of the Inquiry into Antisemitism in Australian Universities. Josh, who was chair of the committee, discusses the need for universities to quickly take on board those recommendations directed at them, as the academic year has already commenced. He also talks about the universities’ definition of antisemitism, a slight variation of that drawn up by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and the establishment of on-campus ‘safe rooms’ for Jewish students. Finally, Josh discusses the inability of The Greens to speak out against antisemitism in Australia.

Peter provides a clear ‘road map’ to understanding the developments in Parliament regarding this issue.

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Lt Col (res) Sarit Zehavi, founder and President of the Alma Center, a nonprofit and independent research and education center specializing in Israel's security challenges on its northern border. Sarit served for fifteen years in the IDF specializing in military intelligence. Sarit takes us through and brings us up to date re the Lebanon ceasefire, with Israel remaining in five strategic Lebanese positions along the border, and with a now much degraded Hezbollah capability, desperately looking to regroup. Sarit provides us with a number of actions and initiatives that need to be cemented into place, to prevent Hezbollah, Iran's proxy, from regaining significant power and control in Lebanon. With a much weakened Hezbollah there does now exist historic opportunities for the new Lebanese government and new Lebanese President to bring about positive change and take Lebanon into the future in a positive direction without the influence of Hezbollah terrorism. .

Maurice Klein speaks with Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, founder and President of Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Center( ILC), which is at the forefront of fighting terrorism in the courts, dedicated to protecting the State of Israel and safeguarding Jewish rights worldwide. Since 2003 Shurat Hadin has been utilizing the court systems around the world and going on the legal offensive against Israel's enemies, having achieved many major successful outcomes which we hear about. According to Nitsana "terrorism is like any other corporation, it needs funds to work, if you block the funds you block the terrorism". Nitsana tells us about the very important legal actions that Shurat Hadin has initiated in the last sixteen months, post the October 7 Hamas genocidal pogrom which Hamas has promised to repeat over and over again. Nitsana also tells us about the Shurat Hadin Ultimate Mossad Missions in May and June 2025. Shurat Hadin works closely with Israel's Government and the Israeli intelligence community, as the Government can't do the work that Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Center does due to political restraints and international treaties. Professor Alan Dershowitz has described Shurat Hadin as one of the most important organisations operating in the world today. To support Shurat Hadin and for more information about the Ultimate Mossad Missions, click on the website www.israellawcenter.org where you can also sign up for the regular Shurat Hadin email newsletter. Yasher Koach Nitsana and Team Shurat Hadin!
