IsraelCast Episode 221

While Jew hatred in America and Europe has been at the forefront recently, the reality is Jews everywhere are under siege. This is especially true in Australia, where attacks on Jews have ranged from doxxing and vandalism to arson, including the horrific firebombing of Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue. Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with Alex Ryvchin, Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, to discuss the deteriorating situation for Jews in Australia, the investigations into the various attacks, and how everything has brought the local Jewish community closer together.

Alex Ryvchin is Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry. A lawyer by trade, he’s a prolific writer and speaker on international affairs, the Arab Israeli conflict, antisemitism, and religious identity. Alex has written several books, including “The Anti Israel Agenda: Inside the Political War on the Jewish State,” “Zionism: The Concise History,” and “The Seven Deadly Myths: Antisemitism from the Time of Christ to Kanye West.”
