John is a staunch friend of the Jewish community and Israel. With the massive wave of anti-Israel antisemitism storming Australia and the West, John believes that "we are at a civilizational moment, the longer we ignore it, the longer we refuse to stand against it, the more likely it will be that it ends badly ". John feels strongly about antisemitism, deploring racism and hatred, and with everything happening in Australia he tells us that the Jewish community does have friends who are coming out in support. John states that he "looks forward to effective, moral leadership in this country" and tells us that PM Albanese and Foreign Minister Wong are deserting Israel big time at the UN, has only given succour to Hamas and the Israel haters. He believes that the antisemitism in Australia along with the feckless leadership from our Labor government is now an issue at the upcoming Federal election, and tells us that Peter Dutton has not abandoned and will not abandon the Jewish community and Israel.

    L'Chaim - To Life SU2024 E6 (29-01-2025) with The Hon Tim Wilson, Roz Mandelle and Trevor Asserson
    Jan 29 2025
    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM This week’s Summer Series episode is focusing on: Taking Action. Title: Israel At War Mythbuster – Moral Clarity (*from 0:23 mins) (Original broadcast date: December 18, 2024) Description: The Hon Tim Wilson, Liberal candidate for Goldstein, during a ‘town hall’ meeting, responds with moral clarity to a constituent, who attempts to blindside him with a well aired myth propagated by the pro-Palestinian lobby about the war in Gaza. Title: Roz Mandelle – I know we pissed the Greens off in Queensland (*from 7:15 mins) (Original broadcast date: November 19, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/roz-mandelle-i-know-we-pissed-the-greens-off-in-qu Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Roz Mandelle, co-founder and director of the nascent Queensland Jewish Collective which formed the first Jewish "Third Party Campaigner" with the Australian Hindu Association, and the Iran Novin Party in order to actively campaign against The Greens in the recent Queensland State Election. The Greens' stance on Hindu and Jewish issues has been consistently divisive and misinformed, fostering hatred and harming social cohesion. Additionally, The Greens have supported recognised terrorist groups who act as proxies of the Islamic Regime of Iran. These policies foster hatred and create harmful divisions within our society, promoting radicalism, extremism and a disregard for human life. Our shared mission is to build strong, inclusive communities across Australia. The campaign urged the public to consider the implications of voting for the Greens in this state election.

Title: Trevor Asserson – AI analysis confirms that the BBC Arabic service is a platform for Hamas (*from 35:33 mins) (Original broadcast date: September 18, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/trevor-asserson-ai-analysis-confirms-that-the-bbc Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Trevor Asserson, who put together a large team of lawyers and data experts to investigate the BBC bias reporting of the Israel-Hamas conflict post October 7. Using AI to analyse some nine million words of coverage across several languages and BBC platforms (including the BBC Arabic service) the comprehensive report of 199 pages, covering the period from October 7, 2023 to February 7, 2024 reveals a consistent pattern of anti-Israel bias exposing the BBC breaching its own editorial guidelines of impartiality, accuracy, editorial values and public interest over 1500 times, against its own standards of accuracy and balance. The report claims that the BBC downplayed Hamas terrorism; conversely Israel was presented as a militaristic and aggressive nation. According to the report, the BBC suggested that Israel faced "no substantial threat" effectively delegitimizing Israel's right to defend itself. By contrast the coverage of Hamas military strength and conduct as a terrorist Palestinian government of Gaza is receiving far less attention. The need for impartial and trusted news has never been greater. Source: BBC Annual Report 2023/24. Watch out ABC.

Professor Kwiet also explained his belief that hate ideologies, including antisemitism, have an important social function.

    L'Chaim - To Life SU2024 E4 (15-01-2025) with Professor Peter Morgan, Professor Steven Prawer and Ofir Birenbaum
    Jan 15 2025
    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM This week’s Summer Series episode is focusing on: It’s Academic. Title: Professor Peter Morgan – This IS about antisemitism (*from 1:13 mins) (Original broadcast date: April 21, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/professor-peter-morgan-this-is-about-antisemitism Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Professor Peter Morgan, Director of the European Studies Program at The University of Sydney, about the ‘hijacking’ of one of his lectures by pro-Palestinian protesters in May and his letter of complaint to the University’s vice-chancellor, Mark Scott. Professor Morgan also talks about the inherent antisemitism lying behind much of the on-campus demonstrations and the damage done to university scholarship through the administration’s cancelling of lectures by visiting Israeli academics because of threats of disruption. Title: KAN English News Flash – January 15, 2025 at 2PM (IST) (*from 19:26 mins) Description: The latest bulletin from the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation. Title: Professor Steven Prawer – The problem is that our opponents have been building up a false narrative (*from 26:54 mins) (Original broadcast date: October 30, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/prof-steven-prawer-the-problem-is-that-our-opponen Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Professor Steven Prawer, Professor of Physics at the University of Melbourne who oversees joint PhD programs between the University of Melbourne and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Professor Prawer recently arrived at his university office to find that it had been invaded and occupied by pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel students in a most threatening manner. The students were concealing and covering their identity with keffiyehs - the modern day Swastikas. Professor Prawer, who is a proud kippah wearing Jew found himself in the confronting situation and refused to be intimidated, stood his ground and stood proud. He recently addressed the Senate Commission of Inquiry into antisemitism. Professor Prawer advocates for the Government to pass legislation for a Judicial inquiry into antisemitism and for universities to be given additional powers to deal with antisemitism which is now well and truly plaguing our educational institutions and needs to be urgently addressed head on. The interview appropriately concludes with Kyle Kozloff and Neil Radisch performing their parody “A Letter from Campus” with apologies to Allan Sherman. Title: Ofir Birenbaum – Creatively, responding to anti-Israel Jew hatred with "The Kosher Octopus" (*from 52:30 mins) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/ofir-birenbaum-creatively-responding-to-anti-israe (Original broadcast date: February 21, 2024) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Ofir Birenbaum, who in response to the flagrant antisemitism by The Greens Jenny Leong MP with her statement: "The Jewish Lobby and Zionist Lobby are infiltrating into every single aspect of what is ethnic community groups, and their tentacle reach into areas that try to influence power", organised a colourful tentacle Octopus protest outside Leong's office. Ofir was also part of the team with the Christian community who organised the Never Again Is Now rally in Sydney, which had a fabulous supporting attendance and spirit.

Title: Rev Mark Leach – Never Again Is Now: Standing up against hatred (*from 1:16 mins) (Original broadcast date: May 01, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/rev-mark-leach-never-again-is-now-standing-against Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Rev Mark Leach, co-founder of ‘Never Again Is Now’, a grassroots Christian movement educating and mobilising Christians to actively stand against the oldest of the world's hatreds: Jew-hatred-antisemitism. ‘Never Again Is Now’ stands on the Australian values of respect, compassion, freedom, truth and love; firmly believing that there is never an excuse for antisemitism. Whatever the views might be on the war in Gaza, ‘Never Again Is Now’ believes that Australians must stand together in solidarity with their Jewish friends and neighbours. After a massively successful ‘Never Again Is Now’ rally in Sydney in mid-February followed by another heart-warming rally in Adelaide, the next ‘Never Again Is Now’ rally is in Melbourne on Sunday, May 19. It promises to be another massive supportive rally. Please spread the word and encourage everyone to come along and show their support for the Jewish community and Israel.

Title: Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah MP – I cannot fathom how any human can do this to anyone else (*from 24:49 mins) (Original broadcast date: March 13, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/dr-michelle-ananda-rajah-mp-i-cannot-fathom-how-an Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah MP, Federal Member for the Melbourne seat of Higgins in the House of Representatives, about her support for the Australian Jewish community. She describes in detail her recent visit to Israel as a member of a cross-party delegation of Australian politicians to the sites of the Hamas terrorist attacks in the South; the need to dismantle Hamas; and the recent UN report that found the conflict-related sexual violence occurred on October 7th, was perpetrated on hostages and may still be going on for those in captivity. Title: Senator Dave Sharma – There is a false equivalence between antisemitism and Islamophobia (*from 41:37 mins) (Original broadcast date: March 06, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/senator-dave-sharma-there-is-a-false-equivalence-b Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Senator Dave Sharma, Liberal senator for New South Wales. As Australia's Ambassador to Israel (2013-2017) with many more years’ experience in foreign affairs, Senator Sharma presents a clear historical understanding of the foundation, and development of the State of Israel into the modern state and OECD economy that it is. Through the resilience and creativity of the people of Israel, there simply isn’t anything like it anywhere in the world. Senator Sharma is unequivocal, stating that Israel has the absolute right to defend itself against Hamas/Iran's proxy, which is committed to the destruction of Israel, and has no interest in the wellbeing of the Palestinians. Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Israel in the Middle East, Israel is not a coloniser, Israel is not an apartheid state and no, Israel is not committing genocide! That’s the Hamas sole ideological purpose. He goes onto say: “UNRWA is part of the problem, not part of the solution”. Australia should not be funding UNRWA anymore; UNRWA is a recipe for the conflict's prolongation. Australia has handled the rise of anti-Israel antisemitism which has crossed the line of Australia's civic values from the outset, having created a climate of tolerance. Australia needs to see strong leadership from law enforcement and political leaders across the political spectrum. There is no visible manifestation or evidence of growing Islamophobia in Australia.

    L'Chaim - To Life SU2024 E1 (25-12-2024) with Six13, Racheli Kofsky, Freya Leach, Ramona Chrapot and Mia Schem
    Dec 25 2024
    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM This week’s Summer Series episode is focusing on: The Gen Z Advocates. Title: Six13 – A Wicked Chanukah (*from 0:23 mins) Description: The song, by veteran Jewish a cappella group Six13, is a voice-only medley of music from the box office smash prequel to the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz”. The parallels between their story, the ancient one we celebrate, and the ongoing struggle we endure today -- fighting against the odds, overcoming oppression and vilification -- are not lost on us. We hope you'll find this just as meaningful. Chag Sameach! Title: Racheli Kofsky – Dear Mr Dutton ….. (*from 5:48 mins) (Original broadcast date: December 11, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/racheli-kofsky-dear-mr-dutton Description: An Open Letter to the Opposition Leader, The Hon Peter Dutton MP, from Adass Israel congregant Racheli Kofsky, Jewish Australian. Title: KAN English News Flash – December 25, 2024 at 2PM (IST) (*from 10:26 mins) Description: The latest bulletin from the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation. Title: Freya Leach – Student activist Marching for the Living and Israel, to say Never Again Is Now (from 17:51 mins) (Original broadcast date: June 12, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/freya-leach-student-activist-marching-for-the-livi Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Freya Leach, Christian activist and Director of the Centre for Youth Policy, studying for a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Law at Sydney University, with a very active social media following and frequently appearing as a special guest at events focusing on young people and politics. As part of the Australian delegation, Freya recently participated on the 31st March Of The Living (MOTL) at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. She tells us how privileged and life changing the MOTL experience first in Poland with Holocaust survivors and then in Israel was, and how it was the ultimate triumph of life and goodness over death and evil. Freya tells us that the importance of remembering and education is critical. Upon arriving in Israel for the second week of MOTL, the delegation was taken straight to the South to witness the October 7 devastation, which Freya finds difficult to describe, an "apocalyptic scene". Freya featured recently on the Josh Frydenberg documentary “Never Again - The Fight Against Antisemitism”, and tells us about the very hostile state of affairs at our universities, with the pro-Palestinian students wanting to create fear and intimidate the silent majority of supportive students for Israel and Jewish community into silence, so that any support for Israel is crushed with Zionists and Jews not welcome on university campuses. Freya also spoke at the Never Again Is Now rally in Brisbane over the weekend, which had another wonderful attendance and support for the Jewish community and Israel. Our L'Chaim listeners can follow Freya Leach and Never Again Is Now on social media: Instagram and FaceBook at freya.leach. For information on MOTL go to www.motl.com.au Title: Ramona Chrapot – An unapologetically proud Zionist and Jew (*from 40:37 mins) (Original broadcast date: March 13, 2024) Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/ramona-chrapot-an-unapologetically-proud-zionist-a Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Ramona Chrapot, the social media officer at the Zionist Federation of Australia which in partnership with the Jewish Agency of Israel organised a week-long delegation of Australian Jewish youth leaders to visit Israel. Leading the mission, we hear from Ramona about the mission's visit to the October 7 devastated communities in Israel's south and to the Nova Festival massacre site, needless to say totally impactful along with the mission's visit to new Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, meeting and speaking with family members of the 134 hostages still in Gaza captivity. The mission met with leaders, communities and Israelis from all walks of life, who have united and come together to support each other and Israel through yet another threatening existential war that Israel must defend and prosecute for its continued survival and that of the Jewish people. The very important experience and messages that Ramona and the youth leaders returned to Australia with are that we as Jews in Australia who are also now in a war, a war of anti-Semitism, are to be standing tall and proud as Jews and Zionists in support and advocating for Israel. Omein to that, achdut. Bring Them Home Now. Follow Ramona Chrapot's ZFA's social media advocacy @_didjewknow.

Before entering politics, Tim was a policy director at the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and served as Australia's Human Rights Commissioner. He contends that the current Australian Federal and State Labor Governments are failing the Australian Jewish Community, and as such are failing Australia. Tim believes Australia is at a crossroad and that the result of the next Federal election will define the Australian society of the future. The interview is preceded by an Israel At War Mythbuster featuring Tim who responds, with moral clarity, to a constituent who attempts to blindside him with a well aired myth propagated by the pro-Palestinian lobby about the war in Gaza.

Title: Harriet Warlow-Shill – COGAT: This is what we do, we look after people (*from 35:30 mins) Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Harriet Warlow-Shill, lawyer and founding partner of Warlows Legal, about her opinion piece, “Hamas’s chilling betrayal of its own people”, published in the December 10th issue of the Australian Jewish News. Harriet describes the aid provided through the Coordinator of the Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) a unit in the Israeli Ministry of Defence. Prior to October 7, 2023, COGAT had a strong working relationship with various countries to deliver civil engineering projects, including a desalination plant that would have made Gaza self-sufficient in water and projects to address power shortages. COGAT also had signed contracts with the Palestinian Authority (PA), Qatar, and the EU to deliver natural gas to Gaza, which would have addressed their energy needs. On October 7, Hamas bombed their own electricity lines, cutting off 90% of Gaza's power and destroying critical water infrastructure, which contributed to the humanitarian crisis. In spite of the horrors of October 7, COGAT has continued its humanitarian work, coordinating the vaccination of 90% of children in Gaza against polio, facilitating the evacuation of 20,000 people through the Rafah Crossing before it was closed by Egypt, and working with UNICEF and other NGOs for aid delivery.
