Soda (Erez Tadmore)

ABC Out of Control

Israel issues (Maayam Hoffman)

In The Australian Senator Sarah Henderson is "demanding an urgent Senate inquiry into the ABC, claiming the public broadcaster’s editorial division has been allowed to run wild and is no longer “fit for purpose” as a taxpayer-funded source of trusted news and current affairs".

In last week's Australian Jewish News the first three pages were devoted to the community's concerns over what is perceived as the "ABC's Israel Problem".

Today there was a session at Senate Estimates where the ABC  fronted with their news and current affairs editor expected to be in the firing line. However disappointingly Senator Henderson did not raise a solitary 'Jewish' issue.

To put all of this into perspective I will have ILTV editor-in-chief Maayan Hoffman joining me in the studio and participating in the conversation will be Adam Lippman, who has been involved in compiling a 142 page submission (shared with Senator Henderson) together with a group of like-minded people, which has been active in exposing the malfeasances of the ABC.(0:27-27:01)

[Full interview]

Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer is the head of the Iyun Institute, focused on promoting Haredi integration and responsibility. He is a community rabbi in Ramot, Jerusalem, and the founding editor of Tzarich Iyun, a journal of Haredi thought and ideas.

Our conversation will cover issues around the drafting of Haredi men into the IDF, which has been brewing for decades. The current situation where Israel has found itself fighting a prolonged war has put additional pressure on the state to find more conscripts to relieve the undue stress on those who have been serving very long stints as reservists.
