Episode Details

Former AG Mark Dreyfus is calling for protests outside synagogues and Jewish schools to be banned, citing a high court precedent on abortion clinic “safe zones” — not to silence dissent, but to shield Jewish Australians from escalating harassment. As the royal commission on antisemitism grapples with rising threats, Jewish communities report a near-doubling of security needs, emotional strain, and financial burdens — with some even discouraging family attendance at events. Dreyfus, who’s endured personal abuse including being called a “genocidal Zionist,” urges the government to criminalize vilification and empower online platforms to remove hate speech via private lawsuits. He’s not alone — the surge in antisemitism, he says, has shattered a sense of safety many once took for granted.
