AN INTERVIEW BY BRENDAN O’NEILL

Anti-Semitism has exploded in Australia since Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. Synagogues have been set alight. The offices of pro-Israel politicians have been ransacked. Even a Jewish childcare centre was set on fire and covered in racist graffiti. Perhaps most infamously, two Australian nurses openly boasted on camera about wanting to kill Israeli patients.

Alex Ryvchin, CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, was caught up in this wave of hate. In January, the house where he and his family used to live was attacked by anti-Semitic thugs. Alex joined the latest episode of The Brendan O’Neill Show to discuss what has gone wrong in Australia. What follows is an edited extract from that conversation. Listen to the full thing here.

Brendan O’Neill: What happened when your old family home was attacked?

Alex Ryvchin: My wife woke me up at about five in the morning and told me that our old house was hit. She showed me this footage, which was taken by our old neighbours across the street, showing an inferno right in front of our old house.

We lived there for five years and it was a really beloved family home. We bought that house because of my grandfather. He had been an engineer in Kyiv, but couldn’t find work when we first migrated to Australia, because he had health issues and couldn’t speak English. The only useful thing he could do was drive a bus for a Jewish social club of Holocaust survivors. The club would give him $5 a day, and that’s all he was able to earn at that time. I would go with him before and after school, and we would drive up and down this beautiful winding road in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. On one side, you can see views of Sydney Harbor, and on the other side you’ve got the Pacific Ocean. I remember how my grandfather would look at the houses on that road. To him, it was like a utopia. It was everything that he knew he personally would never have, but that he thought he could create for his family in Australia. So when I saw a house on that street for sale, we had to buy it. That house represented a great deal to me.

When more CCTV footage of the attack came out, you could see two guys get out of a car. They had a can of petrol, which they poured like a fuse across the width of the street, leading up to cars parked in the driveway. They lit it and these cars just ignited. They targeted one car in the driveway of the adjoining property, which was still owned by a Jewish couple in their 80s. They daubed it with ‘Fuck Jews’ on one side and ‘Fuck Israel’ on the other. I thought that was very poetic. It’s like two sides of the same coin.

In late January, Archbishop Mark Haverland fired the British priest Calvin Robinson, who has become something of a celebrity in conservative political circles over the last few years, for mimicking a “Nazi salute” at a pro-life rally in Washington, D.C. Though Robinson maintains his innocence, the archbishop recently released a statement documenting a series of warnings issued to the celebrity priest concerning his antisemitism and political activism.

The Anglican Ink website published Archbishop Mark Haverland’s correspondence with the priest after Robinson maintained on X that he had “not received a single letter, phone call, zoom meeting or anything else” from his archbishop since he joined the Anglican Catholic Church.

“In December of 2024, Robinson began posting about Judaism, starting with a post on X about the Talmud,” Haverland noted, highlighting the celebrity cleric’s escalating antisemitic attacks, in a six-page statement released last Wednesday.

The initial offending post from Robinson read: “The Talmud is uniquely hostile toward Jesus Christ. Islam may play off Christianity — it is a Christian heresy — but Talmudic Judaism is explicitly anti-Christian.” He was citing a quote from Joel Webbon, pastor of Covenant Bible Church in Georgetown, Texas.

Evil Judaism?

Robinson invited Webbon onto his show, “Bros with Fros,” even though Webbon is “a public figure whose antisemitic priors are well established,” Haverland wrote. “During the interview Robinson sat nodding while Webbon stated, ‘religiously, spiritually, Judaism, I believe, is a pernicious evil.’”

Haverland said that he had “received expressions of concern” from clergy within and outstide his denomination that “Robinson was courting anti-Semites online” and “communicated his displeasure” about the priest to Bishop Patrick Fodor of the Diocese of the Missouri Valley, “telling him very clearly that such incendiary activity had to stop.”

Fodor warned Robinson that he was in trouble with his archbishop. On December 13, Robinson wrote to Haverland insisting he was “not antisemitic or a holocaust denier.”

Apparently, threatening to kill your Jewish patients — and, indeed, boasting of already having done so — is no big deal, just an “emotional reaction” to all that islamophobia.

Multiculturalism, ain’t it just grand.Sharon Stoliar asked NSW Health to prohibit  her fellow workers chanting ‘From the river to the sea’ and very soon found out that she was the one in trouble. The account of her ordeal, a transcript from Instagram, is below.

It seems more people than two hate-spewing Muslim nurses are in need of sacking:

I raised the alarm about this not long after October 7th happened. When nurses and midwives were chanting from the river to the sea whilst wearing NSW health uniform, I wrote an open letter to nurses and midwives explaining that this chant is a call for the annihilation of Jews, and that they should not be shouting this genocidal chant, let alone whilst wearing NSW health uniform. I also had meetings with AHPRA asking for something to be done about it.

But instead, what happened was this: AHPRA and the HCCC received eight complaints about me, mostly about that post I wrote, some asking for me to be deregistered.

Whilst initially dismissed, two of the complainants (who were ANONYMOUS) went on to ask for a review of the outcome, causing the HCCC to investigate and place formal “corrective comments” on my registration. All without my knowledge. And without giving me my legal right to reply to the complaints.

When I shared on Instagram about the rubbish complaints I was getting, all because I called on AHPRA to implement repercussions for staff who were wearing hospital uniforms while screaming out genocidal chants, not only did I have these formal corrective comments placed on my registration, but the sharing of what I was dealing with resulted in a not so nice letter to me that mentioned consequences of jail or demerit points for me.

This resulted in me needing lawyers to take it on to have those corrective comments removed from my registration, and to get a formal apology from the HCCC for this nonsense. And a clear statement that there was no threat of jail.
