Israeli Narratives

Rafi Epstein, an ABC shill who frequently spruiks stories that put Israel in a bad light, spoke to Susie O'Toole, the mother of one of the eleven Australians on board Gemma O'Toole.  She was given free licence to use many of the anti-Israel buzzwords, shamingly accusing the IOF (Israel's Occupation Forces) of kidnapping her precious daughter on the high seas.

At the end of this interview with the Israel hating mother of one of performative members of thus floating spectacle called the Gaza flotilla that serves one purpose: advancing a global campaign of delegitimization of Israel and antisemitic incitement.


Epstein read three text messages expressing some reactions to the story and ended by suggesting that he was inviting people to express their views about the flotilla but then failed to put anybody to air on the subject. That was until close to the end of his program. Have a listen.


Epstein solicited the treasurer Jim Chalmers to throw in his two bob in about the Gaza flotilla and Chalmers just re-echoed some non-commital remarks that reflect government policy.
Meanwhile Epstein would have been smugly congratulating himself for producing another round of system anti-Israel bias for which the ABC has become renowned.

Two International Lawyers in conversation

Australian Zionist Healthcare Alliance

The Iran-US Tussle

The Australian Zionist Healthcare Alliance (AZHA) is a specialized advocacy organization launched in October 2025 to combat rising antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and harassment within Australia's healthcare sector.

AZHA supports Zionist healthcare professionals, students, and patients, addressing discrimination across all health disciplines.

I will speak with psychiatrist Doron Samuell about the concerted efforts of his organisation to deal with manifestations of antisemitism in the healthcare sector, their persistent endeavours to get the regulatory authority AHPRA to take proper remedial actions and their active support for the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.(0:32-27:12)

The Stimson Center is a leading foreign affairs think tank promoting international security and shared prosperity through applied research and global engagement.

Home to more than 100 scholars and global affiliates, the Stimson Center is proud to be a magnet for the world’s leading experts on the most pressing foreign policy and national security issues of our time. 

I will speak with Barbara Slavin, who is an American journalist and foreign policy expert. She is a Distinguished Fellow at The Stimson Center and former director of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council's Rafik Hariri Center & Middle East Programs. We will be discussing the current deadlock in the battle of wits between the United States and Iran. (27:19-57:39)
