Jews are ‘correct and right’ says Macpherson
James Macpherson urges Jewish community to engage beyond familiar media and avoid echo chambers.
A Sky News presenter has urged Jewish community members to step out of their comfort zone when it comes to media outlets.
James Macpherson was recently welcomed by 350 community members and Rabbi Daniel Rabin at an Armchair Society event run by B’nai B’rith and the Lamm Jewish Library of Australia at Caulfield Shule.
He spoke about how negative attitudes towards Jews from some are negatively affecting all Australians.
“The voices are different … the media seems very different [and] you feel like a stranger in your own country. And if there’s one thing I want to assure you of, it’s not just the Jewish community who feel that way.”
A former pastor at one of Australia’s largest church networks, Macpherson’s address wove biblical verses into a broader message of support for the Jewish community.
