The Antony Loewenstein Podcast: My Comments on the Bondi Attack by Antony Lowenstein

Recorded less than 24 hours after the horrific massacre in Bondi, Sydney, 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.
