    Antony brings a unique perspective to events in the Middle East at no small cost to himself, I suspect. The podcast flows freely, providing insights that you will find nowhere else.

  • Love it!

    Have just come across this episode by chance & couldn’t stop bingeing. What an utterly refreshing, honest voice telling things as they actually are. A person gets so fed up with the lies, the gaslighting & the dishonesty from MSM & even “our” ABC. Keep up the great work Antony

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Answering Your Questions
Q: Is Australia on a path toward more aggressive restrictions on free speech around Middle East issues?
Yes, according to the host, there is growing pressure from pro-Israel lobbies and conservative politicians to curb speech, with potential spillover into universities and public life.
Answering Your Questions
Q: What do you think about the role of the IHRA definition in shaping university policies and public debate in Australia?
The host asserts that IHRA has been weaponized to constrain debate about Israel, and argues for a nuanced understanding where criticism of Israel is not automatically branded as anti-Semitic.
Answering Your Questions
Q: How serious of a player do you think Australia can be when it comes to global affairs in general and the Middle East in particular?
Australia has attempts at an independent, somewhat balanced approach, but practical constraints mean it remains heavily tied to US policy; the host argues for a more principled stance, including reevaluating Aukus and greater regional leadership.
Sudan’s Hidden Catastrophe: Dr. Eva Khair on War, Genocide and Global Silence
Q: Why did international attention spike briefly around al-Fashir, and what happened afterward?
The UN Security Council resolution and international attention slowed RSF advances briefly, but momentum waned as administrative changes and shifting politics in key powers reduced pressure, allowing atrocities to continue and escalate.
Sudan’s Hidden Catastrophe: Dr. Eva Khair on War, Genocide and Global Silence
Q: Explain briefly what is happening in Sudan since April 2023.
Dr. Khair describes a multi-layered conflict where the civilian population is the primary casualty, with three simultaneous frontlines: local ethnic tensions, a national struggle between SAF and RSF, and a regional web of backing from powerful states, leading to mass displacement and a severe humanitarian crisis.
