It's 3 00:00:18,614 --> 00:00:22,375 Speaker 2: really President Isaac Herzog is here. But not everyone has 4 00:00:22,495 --> 00:00:26,655 Speaker 2: rolled out the welcome wagon. So why has the ceremonial 5 00:00:26,695 --> 00:00:29,855 Speaker 2: head of state forced people out onto the streets and protests? 6 00:00:30,935 --> 00:00:33,935 Speaker 2: And what about the Jewish community still in morning following 7 00:00:33,975 --> 00:00:38,094 Speaker 2: the Bondai terrorist attack. More on that in a moment. First, though, 8 00:00:38,175 --> 00:00:41,614 Speaker 2: cler Murphy's got your news headlines to Tuesday, February ten. 9 00:00:42,015 --> 00:00:44,734 Speaker 3: Thanks Taylor. The Israeli president is set to carry on 10 00:00:44,775 --> 00:00:47,974 Speaker 3: with his Australian tour after thousands attended a protest against 11 00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:51,814 Speaker 3: his visit in Sydney, which descended into chaos. Organizers had 12 00:00:51,854 --> 00:00:54,215 Speaker 3: hoped to march through the city, but a court decision 13 00:00:54,295 --> 00:00:57,975 Speaker 3: upheld the police's ability to restrict protests based on laws 14 00:00:57,975 --> 00:01:00,215 Speaker 3: brought in in the wake of the Bondai terror attack. 15 00:01:00,615 --> 00:01:03,255 Speaker 3: As the demonstration drew to an end, the group moved 16 00:01:03,255 --> 00:01:06,334 Speaker 3: towards the exit, with some trying to leve but others 17 00:01:06,335 --> 00:01:09,134 Speaker 3: calling on the hundreds of surrounding police to let them march, 18 00:01:09,455 --> 00:01:12,975 Speaker 3: but police restricted movement, forcing the large group into a gridlock. 19 00:01:13,335 --> 00:01:15,895 Speaker 3: Officers issued a move on order, but many within the 20 00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:19,015 Speaker 3: large packed crowd were unclear on the directions and the 21 00:01:19,055 --> 00:01:22,695 Speaker 3: situation quickly started to become chaotic. Police on foot and 22 00:01:22,735 --> 00:01:25,575 Speaker 3: on horseback formed a front and rushed the protesters as 23 00:01:25,575 --> 00:01:28,935 Speaker 3: they attempted to disperse them. Others were seen beating and 24 00:01:28,975 --> 00:01:32,255 Speaker 3: deploying pepper spray at attendees. At one point, a group 25 00:01:32,295 --> 00:01:34,655 Speaker 3: of Muslim men leading a prayer were ripped from their 26 00:01:34,735 --> 00:01:38,575 Speaker 3: knees and taken away by police. Media, including photographers and 27 00:01:38,615 --> 00:01:42,335 Speaker 3: those with press passes displayed, were also forcibly pushed away 28 00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:45,535 Speaker 3: from the scene by officers. Police said twenty seven people 29 00:01:45,535 --> 00:01:49,655 Speaker 3: were arrested, including ten for assaulting officers. Prior to the chaos, 30 00:01:49,655 --> 00:01:53,055 Speaker 3: the crowd stood peacefully enchanted in between speeches from people 31 00:01:53,135 --> 00:01:56,415 Speaker 3: like former Australian of the Year Grace Tame, Jewish academic 32 00:01:56,455 --> 00:02:01,775 Speaker 3: Anthony Lowenstein and Amnesty International Australia spokesman Muhammad Dua. Protests 33 00:02:01,815 --> 00:02:05,535 Speaker 3: across other major Australian cities also drew strong attendants. His 34 00:02:05,695 --> 00:02:09,815 Speaker 3: participants spoke out against Israel's bombardment and starvation of Gaza, 35 00:02:10,055 --> 00:02:13,815 Speaker 3: which has killed more than seventy thousand Palestinians. Mister Herzog 36 00:02:13,855 --> 00:02:16,455 Speaker 3: who was pictured signing an artillery shell that would be 37 00:02:16,495 --> 00:02:19,535 Speaker 3: dropped on the occupied territory, and who claimed after the 38 00:02:19,575 --> 00:02:22,975 Speaker 3: October seven attack that all of Gaza's population were to blame, 39 00:02:23,255 --> 00:02:26,135 Speaker 3: a comment the un found could be reasonably interpreted as 40 00:02:26,175 --> 00:02:29,135 Speaker 3: inciting genocide. Was asked if he had a message for 41 00:02:29,175 --> 00:02:34,695 Speaker 3: the protesters, he claimed the demonstrations undermine and delegitimize Israel's existence. 42 00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:38,735 Speaker 3: The Australian who killed fifty one Muslims at two mosques 43 00:02:38,735 --> 00:02:41,975 Speaker 3: in New Zealand's deadliest mash shooting has told an appeals 44 00:02:42,015 --> 00:02:44,495 Speaker 3: court he felt forced to admit to the crimes because 45 00:02:44,495 --> 00:02:48,215 Speaker 3: of irrationality due to harsh prison conditions. Brent and Tarrant 46 00:02:48,215 --> 00:02:51,295 Speaker 3: appeared in the Court of Appeal in Wellington yesterday seeking 47 00:02:51,335 --> 00:02:54,295 Speaker 3: to have his guilty please discarded, saying he wasn't in 48 00:02:54,335 --> 00:02:56,655 Speaker 3: a rational frame of mind at the time. If his 49 00:02:56,735 --> 00:02:59,735 Speaker 3: bid is successful, his case will return to court for trial, 50 00:03:00,015 --> 00:03:02,295 Speaker 3: which was averted when he admitted to the shooting in 51 00:03:02,335 --> 00:03:05,455 Speaker 3: March twenty twenty. He's also seeking to appeal his sense 52 00:03:05,815 --> 00:03:07,975 Speaker 3: of life without the chance of parole, which had never 53 00:03:08,015 --> 00:03:10,775 Speaker 3: been imposed in New Zealand before. He told the court 54 00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:13,135 Speaker 3: that by the time he pleaded guilty. He said he 55 00:03:13,175 --> 00:03:16,815 Speaker 3: was suffering from nervous exhaustion and uncertainty about his identity 56 00:03:16,815 --> 00:03:19,495 Speaker 3: and beliefs, and that he had admitted to the crimes 57 00:03:19,495 --> 00:03:21,655 Speaker 3: a few months before his trial was due to begin 58 00:03:22,015 --> 00:03:24,615 Speaker 3: because there was little else he could do. When told 59 00:03:24,655 --> 00:03:27,415 Speaker 3: there was little evidence in the documentation of his behavior 60 00:03:27,455 --> 00:03:30,215 Speaker 3: by mental health experts at the time, Tarrance said he 61 00:03:30,255 --> 00:03:33,135 Speaker 3: believes the signs weren't recorded and that he'd tried to 62 00:03:33,215 --> 00:03:35,695 Speaker 3: mask them, saying he was doing everything possible to come 63 00:03:35,695 --> 00:03:39,615 Speaker 3: across as confident, assured, and mentally well, reflecting the political 64 00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:42,015 Speaker 3: movement he's a part of. The hearing is due to 65 00:03:42,095 --> 00:03:43,735 Speaker 3: run for the rest of the week, but the judges 66 00:03:43,775 --> 00:03:46,255 Speaker 3: are expected to release their decision at a later date. 67 00:03:47,055 --> 00:03:50,255 Speaker 3: US lawmakers have tried to interview Gallaine Maxwell, but the 68 00:03:50,295 --> 00:03:53,815 Speaker 3: former girlfriend and confidan of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein 69 00:03:54,215 --> 00:03:57,175 Speaker 3: invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to avoid answering questions that 70 00:03:57,215 --> 00:04:00,255 Speaker 3: would be incriminating. Maxwell was to be questioned during a 71 00:04:00,335 --> 00:04:03,095 Speaker 3: video call to the federal prison camp in Texas, where 72 00:04:03,095 --> 00:04:06,055 Speaker 3: she's serving a twenty year sentence for sex trafficking. The 73 00:04:06,135 --> 00:04:09,135 Speaker 3: deposition part of a push by lawmakers searching for anyone 74 00:04:09,175 --> 00:04:13,295 Speaker 3: who was connected to Epstein and may have facilitated his abuse. However, 75 00:04:13,335 --> 00:04:16,855 Speaker 3: Maxwell has been seeking to have her conviction overturned, arguing 76 00:04:16,974 --> 00:04:20,055 Speaker 3: she was wrongfully convicted. In a post on x after 77 00:04:20,094 --> 00:04:24,015 Speaker 3: the questioning, Maxwell's legal representative, David Marcus said his client 78 00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:27,375 Speaker 3: would be prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted 79 00:04:27,415 --> 00:04:30,615 Speaker 3: clemency by President Trump, saying some may not like what 80 00:04:30,655 --> 00:04:33,575 Speaker 3: they hear, but the truth matters. For example, he said, 81 00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,175 Speaker 3: both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any 82 00:04:37,175 --> 00:04:40,415 Speaker 3: wrongdoing and Miss Maxwell alone can explain why, and the 83 00:04:40,415 --> 00:04:44,255 Speaker 3: public is entitled to that explanation. The winners at the 84 00:04:44,295 --> 00:04:47,535 Speaker 3: Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are reporting their medals of falling 85 00:04:47,575 --> 00:04:50,775 Speaker 3: off their ribbons and breaking jumping in excitement at the 86 00:04:50,775 --> 00:04:54,215 Speaker 3: prospect of meeting British diving Olympian champion Tom Daley, who 87 00:04:54,335 --> 00:04:57,415 Speaker 3: like her as a keen knitter.

Next, who is Isaac Herzog and why has 122 00:06:26,335 --> 00:06:35,735 Speaker 2: his arrivaled down under divided people. It's been fifty eight 123 00:06:35,815 --> 00:06:38,855 Speaker 2: days since two men open fire on a Jewish community 124 00:06:38,895 --> 00:06:42,375 Speaker 2: gathering in Sydney's East, an event that has since been 125 00:06:42,415 --> 00:06:46,175 Speaker 2: recognized as the Bondai terrorist attack, claiming the lives of 126 00:06:46,255 --> 00:06:50,895 Speaker 2: fifteen people. In the weeks since that attack, Parliament was recalled, 127 00:06:50,895 --> 00:06:54,215 Speaker 2: early new hate speech and gun laws rushed through, and 128 00:06:54,335 --> 00:06:57,615 Speaker 2: now Australia is playing host to a visit from Israel's 129 00:06:57,615 --> 00:07:03,695 Speaker 2: President Isaac Herzog. Officially, this visit has been signaled as 130 00:07:03,735 --> 00:07:07,135 Speaker 2: a gesture of solidarity and unity for those impacted by 131 00:07:07,175 --> 00:07:11,815 Speaker 2: the terrorist attack, But unofficially, Herzog's very presence here has 132 00:07:11,815 --> 00:07:15,735 Speaker 2: caused division. So who is he and why are people 133 00:07:15,815 --> 00:07:20,175 Speaker 2: so outraged he is here? Isaac Herzog has been Israel's 134 00:07:20,215 --> 00:07:23,775 Speaker 2: president since twenty twenty one. The presidency in Israel is 135 00:07:23,855 --> 00:07:27,335 Speaker 2: largely ceremonial. The real political and military power sits with 136 00:07:27,375 --> 00:07:31,895 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister benjaminet Yahoo and Cabinet. The president is 137 00:07:31,935 --> 00:07:34,735 Speaker 2: the head of state, science, laws and treaties, and has 138 00:07:34,735 --> 00:07:38,335 Speaker 2: the power to pardon or commute sentences. The job description, 139 00:07:38,575 --> 00:07:41,215 Speaker 2: as Israel's own courts put it, is to embody the 140 00:07:41,255 --> 00:07:44,695 Speaker 2: country's moral and democratic values and act as a non 141 00:07:44,735 --> 00:07:49,255 Speaker 2: partisan symbol of unity. Herzog's visit here was formally invited 142 00:07:49,255 --> 00:07:52,535 Speaker 2: by Anthony Alberanezi after the Bondai terrorist attack, with the 143 00:07:52,535 --> 00:07:55,255 Speaker 2: government framing it as a way to show solidarity with 144 00:07:55,335 --> 00:08:00,255 Speaker 2: Australia's Jewish community and stand against terrorism and hatred. For 145 00:08:00,335 --> 00:08:04,735 Speaker 2: many community leaders, particularly mainstream Jewish organizations, his presence is 146 00:08:04,775 --> 00:08:07,895 Speaker 2: being welcomed a sign the government has their back after 147 00:08:07,975 --> 00:08:12,495 Speaker 2: months of rising anti semitism, But not everyone wants him here. 148 00:08:13,295 --> 00:08:17,215 Speaker 2: Pro Palestinian groups, flagged rallies and marches in every capital city, 149 00:08:17,415 --> 00:08:20,135 Speaker 2: and members of the Jewish community itself have taken out 150 00:08:20,175 --> 00:08:22,895 Speaker 2: full page ads in The Age and the Sydney Morning 151 00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:28,055 Speaker 2: Herald declaring Isaac Herzog is not welcome in Australia. They 152 00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:30,615 Speaker 2: argue the government is rolling out the red carpet for 153 00:08:30,655 --> 00:08:33,615 Speaker 2: a leader they see as one of the political faces 154 00:08:33,655 --> 00:08:36,495 Speaker 2: of the war in Gaza at a time when families 155 00:08:36,535 --> 00:08:39,335 Speaker 2: here are still morning relatives killed there. 156 00:08:39,415 --> 00:08:43,095 Speaker 1: In the circumstances, and well, we've got a credible accusation 157 00:08:43,215 --> 00:08:45,535 Speaker 1: of someone who has committed the crimes of all crimes. 158 00:08:45,855 --> 00:08:47,975 Speaker 1: They should not be welcomed into this country because it 159 00:08:48,015 --> 00:08:51,055 Speaker 1: sends a signal that we accept for genocide, that we 160 00:08:51,255 --> 00:08:53,975 Speaker 1: endorse it, and that there will be no consequences for 161 00:08:54,095 --> 00:08:57,255 Speaker 1: committing one of the most heinous crimes against humanity. 162 00:08:58,015 --> 00:09:01,095 Speaker 2: That's a mal nassa organizer for the Palestinian Action Group, 163 00:09:01,495 --> 00:09:03,735 Speaker 2: A big part of the anger goes back to Herzog's 164 00:09:03,735 --> 00:09:06,775 Speaker 2: own words. In the days after her mass October seven attack, 165 00:09:07,535 --> 00:09:10,055 Speaker 2: in a widely reported briefing, he said of Gaza that 166 00:09:10,135 --> 00:09:13,575 Speaker 2: it's an entire nation out there that is responsible. Human 167 00:09:13,655 --> 00:09:16,735 Speaker 2: rights groups said this statement blurred the lines between combatants 168 00:09:16,735 --> 00:09:21,855 Speaker 2: and civilians and help justify collective punishment. Now. Herzog has 169 00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,895 Speaker 2: since insisted his comments were taken out of context and 170 00:09:25,015 --> 00:09:28,775 Speaker 2: says Israel does not deliberately target civilians, but the quote 171 00:09:28,815 --> 00:09:31,495 Speaker 2: has continued to circulate as the death toll in Gaza 172 00:09:31,535 --> 00:09:35,455 Speaker 2: has climbed. Those remarks were also cited by a Ewan 173 00:09:35,495 --> 00:09:39,335 Speaker 2: Commission of Inquiry, which concluded last year that Israel's campaign 174 00:09:39,335 --> 00:09:43,054 Speaker 2: in Gaza amounted to genocide and named Herzog as one 175 00:09:43,054 --> 00:09:46,415 Speaker 2: of the individuals who had incited it. Finding Israel and 176 00:09:46,495 --> 00:09:52,135 Speaker 2: Herzog strongly reject. Scrutiny intensified after Herzog was photographed signing 177 00:09:52,175 --> 00:09:54,934 Speaker 2: an artillery shell during a visit to an if base, 178 00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:59,335 Speaker 2: an image that quickly circulated online. All of this is 179 00:09:59,455 --> 00:10:03,054 Speaker 2: landing in in Australia that's already deeply split over the war. 180 00:10:03,375 --> 00:10:06,495 Speaker 2: On one side, there were moves to titan protest laws 181 00:10:06,535 --> 00:10:09,695 Speaker 2: after Bondai, and a strong push from some politicians to 182 00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:13,535 Speaker 2: frame pro Palestine rallies as a security risk. On the 183 00:10:13,575 --> 00:10:16,215 Speaker 2: other hand, there are communities who say they're being silenced 184 00:10:16,295 --> 00:10:19,175 Speaker 2: or docked for speaking out about what's happening in Gaza. 185 00:10:20,535 --> 00:10:23,335 Speaker 2: Co chair of the Australian Council of Jury Peter Werdheim 186 00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:26,855 Speaker 2: says everybody has the right to protest, but it must 187 00:10:26,895 --> 00:10:27,615 Speaker 2: be peaceful. 188 00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:31,295 Speaker 4: But if they want to go marching and they disruptilize 189 00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:34,815 Speaker 4: other people, that's a different story. That's going beyond just 190 00:10:34,935 --> 00:10:37,895 Speaker 4: merely the right to protest. That's the right to seek 191 00:10:37,935 --> 00:10:42,295 Speaker 4: to impose your opinions on others by impleting the way 192 00:10:42,495 --> 00:10:45,855 Speaker 4: they go about living their ordinary lives. And of course 193 00:10:46,455 --> 00:10:49,974 Speaker 4: what is said during these protests is also of significance, 194 00:10:50,054 --> 00:10:54,855 Speaker 4: because if it's simply to protest the real or imagined 195 00:10:54,895 --> 00:10:58,255 Speaker 4: actions of the Israeli government or the Israeli military, well 196 00:10:58,255 --> 00:11:01,775 Speaker 4: that's a part and parcel of political discourse anywhere. But 197 00:11:01,975 --> 00:11:06,335 Speaker 4: if it goes beyond that and starts to invoke racist 198 00:11:06,455 --> 00:11:12,895 Speaker 4: tropes about Jews and recreate in modern form traditional anti 199 00:11:12,975 --> 00:11:17,574 Speaker 4: Jewish stereotypes, and we've seen this all too often, then 200 00:11:17,615 --> 00:11:21,135 Speaker 4: that's going far beyond merely the right to protest. That's 201 00:11:21,135 --> 00:11:23,975 Speaker 4: something else, and it's entirely condemnable. 202 00:11:24,375 --> 00:11:27,454 Speaker 2: Journalist and digital media editor at the Australia Israel and 203 00:11:27,535 --> 00:11:30,855 Speaker 2: Jewish Affairs Council Rebecca David says Herzog's visit will bring 204 00:11:31,095 --> 00:11:33,135 Speaker 2: comfort to a community still in mourning. 205 00:11:33,655 --> 00:11:37,615 Speaker 5: President Herzog's visit here is one of reassurance of solidarity 206 00:11:37,855 --> 00:11:41,975 Speaker 5: and as he spoke from Bondai, it's to feel that 207 00:11:42,455 --> 00:11:46,095 Speaker 5: connection from Israel and from our brothers and sisters in 208 00:11:46,295 --> 00:11:50,175 Speaker 5: Israel and know that we're not alone as a Jewish community. 209 00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:53,655 Speaker 5: But also for all Australians, as he also said, this 210 00:11:53,735 --> 00:11:56,735 Speaker 5: is an Australian problem, it's a global problem anti Semitism, 211 00:11:56,815 --> 00:11:59,935 Speaker 5: it's not unique to Australia, and so as a country, 212 00:11:59,975 --> 00:12:02,735 Speaker 5: we all need to join together and heal together, and 213 00:12:02,895 --> 00:12:04,455 Speaker 5: this visit is part of that healing. 214 00:12:05,535 --> 00:12:08,175 Speaker 2: Zog's visit itself has become kind of a lightning rod, 215 00:12:08,495 --> 00:12:11,095 Speaker 2: a test of how the country balances solidarity with its 216 00:12:11,175 --> 00:12:15,454 Speaker 2: Jewish community against rising public outrage at Israel's military campaign. 217 00:12:16,015 --> 00:12:19,415 Speaker 2: Amal says Australia must hold Herzog to the same standard 218 00:12:19,495 --> 00:12:21,615 Speaker 2: as others accused of similar crimes. 219 00:12:22,135 --> 00:12:26,855 Speaker 1: If tomorrow, god forbid, our Russian Australian died in a 220 00:12:26,895 --> 00:12:29,815 Speaker 1: similar way, we would not invite putin into our borders 221 00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:31,295 Speaker 1: to mourn them. And at the end of the day, 222 00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:33,975 Speaker 1: if we want to call for an anti racist world, 223 00:12:33,975 --> 00:12:36,295 Speaker 1: in a world full of peace and justice and inequality. 224 00:12:36,735 --> 00:12:40,455 Speaker 1: We cannot invite leaders who are credibly accused of crimes 225 00:12:40,455 --> 00:12:41,295 Speaker 1: against humanity. 226 00:12:43,175 --> 00:12:45,375 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking some time to feed your mind with 227 00:12:45,455 --> 00:12:48,255 Speaker 2: us today.
