Israeli President comes to town

Wednesday, 18 February 2026 - 5:30pm to 6:00pm

After a very special visit to Australia from the Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Xan and Koshin debrief to take a look at what state mandated social cohesion looks like under Labor. 

We look at the coverage by the media in the leadup to the visit, the political fallout from the methods employed by the NSW police, and why no one is talking about Australia still having a King. 

As always please get in touch if you have any suggestions for future episodes at upriseradio855@gmail.com

 

The visit from the Israeli head of state also coincided with numerous escalations in Israels many violations of international law, but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could explore this. I will just link to two examples here for further reading for anyone interested:

Israel using a law that allows Palestinians to be stripped of Israeli Citizenship.


West Bank annexation moving one step closer to reality.
