On episode 296 we play speeches from the Palestine Rally: Keep standing with Gaza, stop the genocide of Palestinians by Free Palestine Melbourne. We also discuss the recent developments and history of the issue, focusing on the Australian media coverage and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
