Australian MP David Southwick joins Maayan Hoffman, Executive Editor of ILTV News, for a conversation about the rising tide of antisemitism Down Under. From Neo-Nazis dressing as Hasidic Jews on election day to Jewish families hiding their identity in hospitals, Southwick shares alarming stories from his own district of Caulfield — and explains why many Australian Jews are now considering Aliyah.
