Combatting Antisemitism: Insights from Michael Scott on “L’Chaim - To Life”

This week, The 2023 Foundation CEO and Founder, Michael Scott, had the honour of appearing on Melbourne’s community radio program L'Chaim - To Life, where he discussed the growing threat of antisemitism and the urgent need for action. In this powerful conversation, Michael shared personal insights from his extensive military career, including his time as a peacekeeper with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO) in Jerusalem, and the inspiration behind founding The 2023 Foundation.

The 2023 Foundation is committed to combatting antisemitism, fostering peaceful coexistence, and confronting the rising tide of hatred that has reached unprecedented levels globally. As Michael noted, “In a world increasingly marred by ignorance, malice, misinformation, and rampant antisemitism—at levels not seen since 1930s Europe—I have made the conscious decision to reject bystander behaviour.”

During the discussion, Michael expanded on his vision for a more tolerant and harmonious future and how The 2023 Foundation’s work contributes to that vision. From its efforts to provide immersive experiences that promote understanding to addressing misinformation and building a global network of allies, the Foundation aims to create lasting, impactful change.

We invite you to listen to the full episode, where Michael offers a deep dive into his experiences and the crucial role that all of us play in the fight against antisemitism.
