Jacques and Jennifer continue their critique of pro-Israel hegemony, which is an active scourge on free and informed public discourse in Australia affecting our media, our legal system and our universities, to name a few institutions.

For this program the presenters particularly focus on the pro-Zionist bias underpinning the current Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, and the platform it is providing in the media to suppress pro-Palestine voices. Illustrating this bias, the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN), Australia's peak body for Palestinians and their allies, has been refused permission to appear before the Commission.
