YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAntoinette Lattouf’s story stands out among the many journalists who were targeted, attacked, and punished for criticizing Israel; that’s because, in her case, some justice was actually served.
In 2023, Lattouf was fired from her job presenting ABC Sydney, a magazine-style radio program, after sharing a Human Rights Watch report on social media, which detailed Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war against Palestinians.
Her unlawful firing shed light on Australia’s “enormously influential” pro-Israel lobby, as she put it, and the control it has over the country’s media.
ABC was forced to pay nearly $145,000 in damages to Lattouf for unlawful termination, a victory she plans to capitalize on.
Watch the full interview above to hear the claims ABC’s former managing director made about Lattouf’s social media post, why she feels her victory was “hollow,” and how prominent anti-Palestinian sentiment is in Australia’s biggest news organizations.
