About

In the wake of the Bondi terror attack, new hate speech laws and the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, Jewish writers reflect on the current moment in Australia and around the world.

This panel discussion offers a timely and important conversation about antisemitism today. With local and international writers bringing different personal and professional perspectives, the panel will consider the impact of world events, political upheavals and day-to-day realities.

Hear from writers Lee Kofman, Jon Sopel and Michael Visontay, with host Avril Alba.
