The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM

Title: Israel At War Mythbuster – Lt Col (res) Sarit Zehavi on BBC 2 interview (*from 0:33 mins)

Description: Lt Col ( Res) Sarit Zehavi, 15 years Israel military intelligence, the founder and president of the ALMA  Research and Education Center, monitoring the security issues on Israel's northern borders, is interviewed on BBC radio about Israel's prosecution of the ongoing defensive war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, whose mission with full support from Iran is the total annihilation and destruction of the Jewish state: Israel. With the assertion that it contravenes international law, Sarit is grilled on the recent bombings against 100 Hezbollah locations in Beirut. Pointing out that just as Hamas does, Hezbollah uses innocent population as human shields, and that in some circumstances where providing warnings to vacate buildings will have a negative impact on the operation, the bombing of buildings with civilian collateral damage does not contravene international law. Sarit also details that the Lebanese government provided commitments to 20 years ago to disarm Hezbollah, and that Israel is not bombing Lebanon as the BBC presenter asserts, but Israel is bombing Hezbollah. To follow Sarit Zehavi and the ALMA  Research and Education Center  go to www.israel-alma.org.

Description: Sharon Kuper speaks with Dassi Erlich, the brave whistleblower who spent fifteen years fighting to bring her abuser, Malka Leifer, to justice. Along with her sisters, Dassi was sexually abused as a teenager by Leifer, who was then the principal of Melbourne’s Adass Israel School. When Leifer fled to Israel with the help of community leaders, Dassi refused to stay silent. Her relentless campaign became known as “Bring Back Malka Leifer” and captured the attention of people right across Australia. After an extraordinary 15-year battle, Leifer was finally convicted in 2023. Dassi’s story is one of courage, resilience, and the long fight for justice.
