Dr Einat Wilf  – Palestinians are not some incapable people, so defund UNWRA (*from  0:23 mins)

Description: Dr Einat Wilf, a former Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Independence and the Labor Party, explains the essence of UNRWA at a briefing to UN delegations at the UN HQ in NYC on May 11, 2024.

Title: Peter Lavac –  I hate injustice and will not put up with it (*from 8:53 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with high-profile Sydney barrister, Peter Lavac, an outspoken supporter of Israel and the Australian Jewish community. Peter talks about the factors in his childhood that set the foundations for him pursuing justice through the Law as an adult. He believes Australia has a serious problem, not only with the protesting ‘thugs’, who are blatantly antisemitic, but these extremists also hate our country and its citizens. Peter is critical of the Federal Government’s lack of effective action and the unwillingness of police to enforce the law. Peter describes what he hopes to do when he visits Israel in the near future and how he will use the information he gathers to educate the broader Australian community on the war in Gaza and Israel’s response to the horrors of October 7th, 2023. Peter, who is not Jewish, has offered to provide advice to or represent anyone pro bono, if they have been impacted by antisemitic acts. His podcast, The Lambo Lawyer, is highly recommended and can be accessed by searching the internet with the title.

Rachel and Evyatar Edri – Cookies for terrorists is a recipe for survival (if someone is hungry they are going to get angry)  (*from 41:13 mins)

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Rachel Edri and her son police officer Evyatar Edri, who with IDF Special Forces miraculously rescued his parents Rachel and David when they were taken captive by Hamas terrorists on October 7 in their Ofakim home. We hear how Rachel was able to placate the monster terrorists in her home by engaging with and feeding them, cleverly buying time and all the while relaying information to her son and the IDF Special Forces who were then able to execute the 20 hour rescue of Rachel and David Edri. Ofakim, 30 kilometers east of Gaza was the furthest point where the Hamas terrorists were able to carry out their barbaric evil, with 53 residents and police officers killed on October 7. The Edri family story is one of amazing resilience, survival, hope and the power of family. Rachel and Evyatar are being hosted by WIZO Victoria and St. Kilda Synagogue and at what promises to be an unforgettable evening, will be further sharing their extraordinary story and  journey this Sunday June 15th 7pm - 9pm. Tickets are available at www.trybooking.com/DBEHY and on the WIZO Victoria website home page www.wizovic.org.au and scroll down to In The Spotlight and click on the Rachel Edri from Ofakim Event.
