Dr. Dvir Abramovich explains to Jon Faine on the ABC 774 Morning Show why he is concerned about the play ‘Tales of a City by the Sea’ written by Palestinian/Australian/Canadian activist Samah Sabawi which is on the current VCE drama syllabus. He tells about how the play is pro-Palestinian propaganda and it helps to disseminate virulent anti-semitic myths.
There is also some audience reaction to what Dr Abramovich had to say.
