Augustine Zycher is a Strategic Communications Consultant, director of PresentationStrategies.com.au, director and editor at WomanGoingPlaces.com.au advocating for Australian women 50+, journalist, speechwriter and documentary film-maker.

According to Augustine of the greatest concern is the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion failing to properly scrutinise the role of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia in the rise of antisemitism. The public broadcasters have mainstreamed a pattern of prejudiced reporting nightly into Australian homes. It has fostered a mindset that equates Israel and Zionism with evil, and branded Jews in Australia and elsewhere guilty by association.

Public Broadcasters Escape Proper Scrutiny (Augustine Zycher)

Public Broadcasters Escape Scrutiny

A report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council claims Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, declaring that "the essence of childhood has been destroyed."Many media outlets have repeated the allegations as fact; few have actually looked further into the details.

This week 'The Israel Connexion' was probing into a very prominent anti-Israel report in a way that hasn't been done by other media that have accepted it on face value because it has the imprimatur of the United Nations. Moreover, the amount of copious detail in the report has meant that the onus of doing a proper analysis of its content has been very daunting and so the response to it has largely been superficial.

I was moderating a rare discussion bringin together two opposing sides to consider the allegations against Israel by the Independent International Commission on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel (COI).

𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐭𝐢, a COI commissioner who is an Australian expert on international human rights law, a lawyer and advocate, a former Human Rights Commissioner, and a former commissioner of the Australian Law Reform Commission debated with 𝐃𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐋.
