Title: Barry Shaw – Anyone threatening to “Kill The Jews” will kill the Jews (*from 2:31 mins)

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Barry Shaw, Senior Associate for Public Diplomacy at the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, specializing in Israel advocacy, exposing radicalism and extremism related to antisemitism and anti-Israel activism. Barry discusses his Substack article “AUSTRALIA HAS CHOSEN, JEWS OUT, ISLAMISTS IN”, with the opening sentence: "Rampant antisemitism is supported in Australia by an anti-Israel actively anti-Christian , anti-Jewish policy of the Albanese Labor Government" Explaining that Australia's Labor government has done nothing to cut out the Jew hatred and threat of killing Jews in Australia, stating that there has been encouragement from the Australian government, by way of “Suicidal Empathy”, as has been taking place in other western countries under leftists governments, that have undertaken seriously liberal immigration policies, that have  allowed radical Islam and Islamists taking hold in the local Muslim communities. With the upcoming Israel election in six days, Barry explains and takes us through Israel's unicameral governing system of proportional representation in the 120 Knesset seats, along with the prospects of the two opposing coalitions, being Bibi Netanyahu on the right v Gadi Eisenkot the centre-left, and not forgetting the two Arab blocks. Barry has a most informative newsletter and YouTube page: “The View From Israel” and can be followed on all the major social media platforms.  To contact and support Barry Shaw's important work, email barryshaw@substack.com.

Title: Zeddy Lawrence – I see my great-grandfather as emblematic of the times (*from 45:38 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Zeddy Lawrence, playwright of and performer in “Morgen Wieder Lustik”, a play about his late great-grandfather, Heinze Lewin, who perished in Auschwitz in 1942. Zeddy describes his life as a scriptwriter, radio journalist and editor (Jewish News [UK]) before coming to Australia in 2009 to take up the editor’s position at the Australian Jewish News. He provides background information on Heinze, a musical child prodigy, who composed successful German operettas and film scores that were used in Hollywood. Heinze’s story is told through Zeddy’s voice, together with music not heard for more than 80 years, played by Tomi Kalinski. “Morgen Wieder Lustik”, which roughly translates from the German to “Tomorrow Will be Cheerful Again”, is a tribute to Heinze Lewin and all the Jewish artists who were murdered during the Shoah, and touches on what is happening currently in Australia and globally to Jewish creatives. Performances of “Morgen Wieder Lustik” will take place on Sunday, November 8th, in Elsternwick, and on Wednesday, the 11th of November, in Caulfield (venue details will be provided to ticket holders prior to the performances).
