Recorded less than 24 hours after the horrific massacre in Bondi, this episode is a raw, urgent response to violence, fear, and the political weaponisation that has already followed.

Speaking as a Jewish Australian, I reflect on grief, anger, and the dangers of conflating antisemitism with criticism of Israel. I unpack how pro-Palestine movements are being blamed without evidence, why knee-jerk calls for expanded police powers and immigration crackdowns should alarm us all, and how fear is being exploited to silence dissent.

This is a call for clarity: to mourn without manipulation, to oppose violence against all civilians, and to resist narratives that trade supposed safety for authoritarianism.
