Is Australia Actually Mad at Israel For Killing a Citizen? Plus, the AFL Tabloid Frenzy Loses the Plot

Weighing Canberra’s response to Zomi Frankcom’s death, a judge’s rebuke of a major antisemitism case, and runaway footy coverage.

The Australian government has expressed "outrage" that Israel won't hold anyone responsible for the killing of aid worker Zomi Frankcom, but just how seriously should we take those statements?

Os and Scott cover the diplomatic brawl and how the media regurgitated falsehoods from Israel's ambassador. They also discuss how the investigation in Hind Rajab's killing received relatively little attention in Australia.

Later in the episode, Os breaks down the "serious miscarriage of justice" that a judge says occurred in one of Australia's most high-profile anti-Semitism prosecutions.

Plus, Mark Ruffalo takes on the Warner Bros. / Paramount Merger and the Ellison's, and how the tabloid frenzy over the AFL in the past week has spun out of control.
