The ABC ignores antisemitism
Manage episode 424400677 series 2563998
Former ABC director Joe Gersh has called out the public broadcaster for not examining the current explosion of antisemitism in Australia. Gersh affirms that he is a supporter of a “strong, independent and impartial” ABC.
“It is a matter of deep concern to me, as a member of the Jewish community, as a former ABC director, and as an Australian citizen that our national broadcaster has not fully understood and dealt with what I believe has reached crisis proportions.”
Includes audio clips demonstrating ABC anti-Israel bias (0:37-40:32)
Michael Starr is the Diaspora Affairs correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, covering global Jewish affairs, antisemitism, and radical anti-Israel activities. I will be speaking with him about his role. Previously, Starr was the legal affairs and police affairs correspondent.
Starr is a veteran of the October 7 war and earned a BA in government and diplomacy and an MA in security studies at Reichman University. (40:39-57:18)
