Morry Frenkel speaks with Dr John Coyne, Director of National Security Programs at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), about his recent op-ed, “PM’s Timid Reply to Antisemitic Terror Is Dangerous: Silence Is Surrender” published in The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. John shares insights on the role of the ASPI and explains why he felt compelled to write the article. He discusses the government’s rhetoric, which often intertwines Islamophobia with various other forms of hate in addressing anti-Semitic incidents, arguing that this approach is politically weak and strategically harmful. Moreover, he articulates his belief that the rising antisemitism in Australia poses a threat to national security. John also outlines the positive and negative responses to his article.
