Title: Boy George – ‘I STAND WITH THE JEWS’ (*from 7:13 mins)

Description: Pop icon Boy George just dropped a breathtakingly blunt and brave song, laying out in black and white his contempt for calling Israel’s actions a genocide and for his fellow musicians’ sheeplike acquiescence to the anti-Israel narrative while expressing his rock-solid support for the victims of Oct. 7 and his Jewish friends. The new song goes viral.

Title: A/Prof Matteo Vergani – We analysed over 2 million social media posts (*from 12:13 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with A/Prof Matteo Vergani, Associate Professor at Deakin University and the director of the Tackling Hate Lab, about the establishment of the Lab and details of its two, recently released reports: Mapping Online Anti-Jewish Hate in Australia: A Big Data Analysis, and From Shock to System: The Rise of Anti-Muslim Hate in Australia. Matteo and his collaborators have used AI interrogation of more than 2 million social media postings in Australia (mainly from the X platform; 2020-2026) to classify and sort hate messages. Anti-Jewish hate peaked immediately after October 7, 2023 and again following the Bondi massacre, the trend also found for anti-Muslim hate messages. Neither has returned to pre-October 7, 2023 levels. Matteo also describes the unexpected result from the analyses showing that sometimes more than 50% of hate is disseminated from small clusters (up to 100 users). More information about the work of the Tackling Hate Lab can be found at www.tacklinghate.org.

Chutney’s debut album ‘Ajar’ recently won a triple gold medal at the Global Music Awards in San Diego. Ben is the director of Shir, the Australian Jewish Music Festival. Since the 2022 controversial artist boycott of the Sydney Music Festival over a sponsorship deal with the Israeli Embassy, Ben has advocated for Jewish artists and fought against the increasing anti-Israel hatred in the Australian arts scene. Ben speaks about his recent testimony at the Australian Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, his battle against the erasure of Jewish artists, and his conceptions of the role of music in “humanitising” Jews in the broader community. He discusses the Australian Jewish Music Festival, Shir, and its importance in promoting Jewish musicians. Ben will be performing as the fiddler in the forthcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof.
