Last week was Passover, so the ABC decided to interview this bloke … Host David Rutledge speaking on RN Breakfast, Good Friday:
Dr Stephen Sizer: former Anglican vicar, conservative evangelical and, depending to who you ask, thoughtful and sympathetic friend to the Jewish people or dangerous anti-Semite.
Sizer is known best in his home country for a very controversial Facebook post. BBC News website, January 30, 2015:
The Church of England is investigating a vicar accused of posting an article on Facebook blaming Israel for the 9/11 attacks in the US…
The Church of England banned Sizer from social media for this post. Bishop of Guildford Andrew Watson, February 9, 2015:
It is my view that Stephen’s strong but increasingly undisciplined commitment to an anti-Zionist agenda has become a liability to his own ministry and that of the wider Church.
Aunty did bring up Sizer’s 9/11 conspiracy theories. His response on RN Breakfast, continued:
With hindsight, I wish I probably hadn’t put a hyperlink to an article about 9/11. The particular article was a list of Israelis that had benefited from 9/11. I simply put it out there and said, “This is serious, it has to be considered.”

This is the ABC program on which Stephen Sizer appeared.
