Nicole, a Jewish Australian radio host, was reportedly fired after she refused to support Hamas and ‘pro-Palestinian’ views on a community radio show in Australia.
According to the Jerusalem Post, “Nicole, a Jewish Australian with Mexican and Israeli heritage, hosted a Latin American radio show on Radio Skid Row, a community radio station in Sydney, Australia.”
Sarah shared what happened on social media, “And they basically just told me that if I cannot support the October seventh attacks as resistance and as something positive, basically saying also that it’s not true that anybody got killed or burned or anything, that if I cannot support the hostages being kept, then I don’t align with their values and I cannot be there.”
“If I cannot support the fact that Israel doesn’t have a right to exist and that Jews don’t have a right to be in Israel, I can no longer be at their station.”
“When I started to cry because I was trying to have a respectful conversation about agreeing to disagree and respect each other’s abuse, even though I absolutely don’t support terrorism and aggression and murder, they basically told me, ‘We don’t appreciate your white women tears.’”
Thank you @carolinemarcus for sharing this terrible story about the hateful, antisemitic treatment of Jewish woman, Nicole, at Skid Row community radio in Sydney. There must be consequences. https://t.co/1ORTkS9dqK
