Episode 504
Sunday, 10 May, 2026
Subscribe to Inside Call me Back. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Five months after the Bondi Beach attack, Australia’s Royal Commission on Antisemitism is hearing testimony about what Jewish life has become since October 7th. Dan is joined by Alon Cassuto, CEO of the Zionist Federation of Australia, and Lisa Mittelman, Director of Public Affairs, to discuss what the hearings have revealed, why the government resisted the commission before finally giving in, and whether this process can lead to real change. They also examine how anti-Zionism is being used to exclude Jews from progressive spaces, what real solidarity requires from non-Jewish Australians, and why young Australian Jews are asking whether they can still build their futures in Australia. In this episode: - Why Australia’s Royal Commission matters - What the testimonies revealed about Jewish life after October 7th - Antisemitism from neo-Nazis to progressive spaces - Why Australia finally agreed to a Royal Commission - Where anti-Israel rhetoric crosses into antisemitism - What non-Jewish Australians are still failing to confront - How Australian Jews are experiencing the commission - Can young Australian Jews still see a future in Australia?
