Earlier this month, I posted about Australian Football League (AFL) legend Gerard Healy’s strong show of solidarity with the Jewish community and outspokenness against antisemitism.
Gerard recently appeared on the Big Bros Podcast, hosted by two young Australian Jewish men. It is a fascinating insight into why Gerard decided to speak out, and the extent of his admiration for the Australian Jewish community.
How sad to hear this sporting legend speak about being ashamed of Australia, but how moving hearing him speak so deeply about being “enriched” by the resilience of the Jewish community.
