Most Australians support Israel but they are quiet.
"I didn't understand until now what your people are going through": Interview with the Australian presenter who supports Israel.
Journalist Erin Mullen has been in the field for two decades, but nothing prepared her for the past year • Since 10/7, she has taken a clear pro-Israel stance and spoken out against Hamas • However, she is forced to pay a price: her show on Sky was canceled and she even received threats on her life • In a conversation with Weekend News, Mullen spoke about what is happening in Australian public discourse, shared her concerns and revealed: "I am about to get a much broader platform."

Australian TV personality Erin Mullen has been speaking out against Hamas and the hypocrisy of the world on her Sky show every week since October 7. After Sky unexpectedly announced that she would not continue with the show, she came to visit Israel. In a conversation with News 12, she spoke about the heavy prices she paid for supporting Israel - but made it clear that she will not give up. "They will not stop me," she said.

- You have become strongest voices for Israel in the past year. Why are you such a devoted supporter of it?
[E.M.]
- "I would say, in simple terms, that it's because I can distinguish between good and evil. I can distinguish between justice and injustice. I don't think it's complicated at all. I think every death, every killing, every life lost in the Middle East since October 7th is solely the fault of Hamas and the people who fund it."
[N12]
- You said: "I'm not Jewish, I'm not Israeli, I have no personal interest in the matter - but I do."
[E.M.]
- "We all have. Anyone who thinks that what is happening in the world right now will stop in Israel or with the Jewish people - is a fool. We are already seeing examples like demonstrations against Christmas celebrations in Australia or Europe and America. The things I fight for are freedom and life - I stand on the right side of a country that is desperately fighting to survive and I believe in the same values that I believe in."
[N12]
On your show, you always spoke about various issues - but you didn't talk about Israel. What caused this change? Was it in the wake of 7/10?
[E.M.]
- "Absolutely. How can anyone see what happened that day to children, adults and women and not embrace Israel in their arms?"
[N12]
- Still, you are a unique voice. Many of the voices in the media see things differently - why?
[E.M.]
- "It's crazy to me. I care just as much about the children in Gaza, but I understand that the source of their pain is the terrorists who started it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand where terror, evil, and death come from, so the fact that others can't see it drives me crazy."
