In this episode independent journalist Antony Loewenstein joins Jan Fran to discuss the Bondi terror attacks and the timid media response to proposals that curb civil liberties. 

Jan Fran and Antony move carefully through the tension between allowing victims time to greive and challenging political agendas that seek to curb anti-genocide protest, shrink public discourse, and mute criticism of Israel.

Antony talks through what he believes is driving the rise in antisemitism, and why parts of the Jewish diaspora feel increasingly alienated from the pro-Israel lobby’s line.

He also lays out why the crowd keeps speaking and keeps moving, even when the powerful wish the masses would go silent.
