Nick Cater is Senior Fellow at the Menzies Research Centre, where he contributes to the public policy conversation through podcasts, newspaper columns and media appearances.

Nick wrote an article recently on Sky News titled, "Australian Human Rights Commission's 'anti-racism' thesis is a divisive document that worships at the shrine of critical race theory", wherein he condemns the AHRC's National Anti-Racism Framework which is based on Critical Race Theory.

In particular, Anti-Palestinian Racism, which is touted by this framework, is revealed as a cynical contrivance to shift attention away from antisemitism and depict Muslims and pro-Palestinian supporters as being victims of some kind of confected 'racism'.

Lt. Col (Ret) Jonathan Conricus is a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies focused on the Middle East. He served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for 24 years as a combat commander in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He also served as a military diplomat, foreign relations expert and international spokesperson. He has directed social media and public diplomacy efforts and has extensive on- and off-camera experience from his years as a spokesperson. 

We spoke about the new United Nations report that has accused Israel of perpetrating “genocidal acts” against Palestinians, claiming Israeli forces systematically destroyed women’s healthcare facilities and used sexual violence as a war strategy.

In doing so we discuss how the ABC has been giving undue prominence to what are preposterous allegations. (0:28-31:27)
