Title: Yaakov Travitz and Gary Gould – Lions of Zion: against anti-Australian behaviour in the city (*from 6:32 mins)

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Yaakov Travitz, co-founder of The  Lions Of Zion (TLOZ) and Gary Gould, now very much an active TLOZ member. We hear how The Lions Of Zion is a movement that has mobilised with a collective Jewish spirit of Unity, Courage and Jewish Pride, empowering individuals and the community. The Lions of Zion carrying Israeli flags and more, have been organising counter rallies and attending the pro-Palestinian Jew hating rallies that have been plaguing the Melbourne CBD most weekends since October 7. With inappropriate move-on laws and so-called breach of the peace laws, the Victoria police have not given The Lions of Zion a smooth pathway to exercise their rights to also protest and show their support for Israel and the Jewish community. The Lions of Zion have marshalled continued growing support from a broad cross section of the community, both Jewish and non-Jewish inspiring stronger unity, courage and pride within our community, and will continue to rise and face the enemies of the Jewish community, no matter who they are or how many they are, the same way our people have for thousands of years.

Description: Malka Lawrence speaks with Wendy Sachs, the Director and Executive Producer, and Nimrod Erez, the Producer of “October 8” the powerful documentary that confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism in the U.S. following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. It weaves a compelling narrative that connects deeply personal testimony with the broader cultural and political forces shaping this moment in history. Directed by Wendy Sachs, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and media strategist, the film delivers an urgent and unflinching look at hate, identity, and the cost of silence. Nimrod Erez, the film’s producer, editor, and co-writer, brings authenticity, urgency, and careful storytelling. His work adds emotional depth and clear structure, helping the film deliver its powerful message without sensationalism. In this interview, Wendy and Nimrod discuss the making of “October 8”, the responsibility of truth-telling, and the role of film in confronting rising hate.
