Morry Frenkel speaks with Michael Gawenda AM, about the five books he selected to be sent to all federal parliamentarians by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ). This action was taken in response to the pro-Palestinian books sent recently to all members of federal parliament and endorsed by the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) and the Jewish Council of Australia (JCA). Michael explains his reasons for choosing the books on his list: “Israel, A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth” (by Noa Tishby), “My Promised Land” ( by Ari Shavit), “Letters to my Palestinian Neighbour” (by Yossi Klein Halevi), “Israel A Concise History of a Nation Reborn” (by Daniel Gordis) and “My Life as A Jew” (by Michael Gawenda). He believes these books will better educate parliamentarians on the history of conflict in the Middle East and provide Israel’s perspective. Michael also speaks about the serious threat to Australia’s multicultural society posed by the government’s lack of leadership at a time when its response to the conflict in the Middle East is critical.

Maurice Klein speaks with Barry Shaw, a Senior associate for Public Diplomacy at the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, an independent policy center devoted to the promotion of joint values shared by Israel and the United States of America. Barry provides us with an insight into his substack article “Trump, The Abraham Accords and a solution for Gaza”, which outlines foundations for Gaza as the model for a new Middle East: A partnership of genuine cooperation in the form of an Abraham Accords Protectorate. The status of Protectorates is recognized under international law and the specific relationship between the “Protectorate” and the “Protector” is well known. As a political and governing system, the concept of Protectorates has been successful and is working well in the international arena. In Gaza, the “Protectors” will be the Abraham Accord countries with the important active additions of Saudi Arabia and Egypt. An essential element of the reconstruction of a mainly Muslim Gaza must be the creation of a new society not based on radicalism but on the moderate form of Islam represented by Saudi Arabia under its Crown Prince, and the UAE and Bahrain.
