For decades, the world has turned away from the suffering of the Palestinian people. From 2023 through to 2025, that silence became complicity.
The Shadow Over Palestine
reveals how Australia - a nation that helped found the United Nations and once prided itself on fairness and justice - became an echo chamber for power, lobbyists and media spin while Gaza was reduced to rubble.
Eddy Jokovich and David Lewis - journalists, political analysts and hosts of the acclaimed New Politics podcast - trace how Australian leaders, from Parliament to the press gallery, justified the indefensible. With clarity and courage, they expose the double standards that define Western responses to the war: the bans on language, the silencing of dissenting journalists, the performative outrage of politicians, and the quiet obedience to Washington and Tel Aviv.
Combining original reporting, historical context and moral insight,
documents a turning point in Australian political culture - a reckoning with truth, conscience, and the limits of alliance.
This is not only a story about Palestine: it's a story about who we have become, and whether our democracy still has the courage to speak for the powerless.
