Title Deed Media Urges Education Reform to Combat Antisemitism

June 14, 2026

Col. Richard Kemp CBE on set for The Whose Land? Documentary Series in Israel, Jerusalem

In July 2025 Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism submitted her plan to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. In paragraphs 2.2 and 3.3 Dr Jillian Segal highlighted the role that Education could play in combatting Antisemitism. In unpacking the drivers of Antisemitism she highlighted a stark divide between Australians aged under 35 and those over 35, reflecting generational differences in media consumption and the perceptions younger Australians have of the Middle East and the Jewish community, including understanding the Holocaust. She underlined the need to improve education, understanding and best practice in schools, universities, social media and sport.

Further to the Special Envoy’s observations, in recent years education systems have tended to indoctrinate students by teaching them what to think rather than how to think. This is not just an Australian trend, but is common throughout the Western world. This is especially the case with tertiary education institutions – e.g. universities – but it is a growing trend in secondary education and even in primary education. This is largely due to the influence of neo-Marxism growing across the Western world, which has also influenced the media as well as academia.

The Narratives Driving Modern Antisemitism

The doctrine of ‘intersectionality’ is widely propagated in our universities. This doctrine broadly divides nations and societies into two categories: the ‘Oppressor’ and the ‘Oppressed’. Generally speaking the ‘Oppressor’ is branded as ‘White Supremacists’ (especially males, but it can also apply to females) and the ‘Oppressed’ generally means everyone else, but particularly people of colour, people living in the ‘developing world’ and disadvantaged people in general. When it comes to the Middle East conflict, the people known today as ‘the Palestinians’ – along with Arabs and Muslims in general – are seen as the ‘oppressed’, whereas Jews are perceived to be ‘white supremacist oppressors’ (regardless of whether they are of Ashkenazi, Sephardic or Mizrahi origin). It is therefore impossible for Jewish people, or the Jewish state for that matter, to be seen as victims. As far as this categorisation is concerned, the Holocaust is seen as irrelevant.

This indoctrination sees the State of Israel as an ‘apartheid’ and a ‘colonial power’ that has ‘stolen Palestinian land’ and oppresses its neighbours as well as its own non-Jewish population. Hence the accusation that Zionism = racism. This narrative plays a major part in undermining the legitimacy of the Jewish state as a nation and the rights of its population.

So, this is the narrative that now permeates much of our education system and media, and is a major driver of antisemitism in Australia, as well as other Western countries. This narrative has absolutely no historic, legal or factual basis. Like nearly all anti-Semitic tropes, it is based on lies, falsehoods and prejudice.

As previously mentioned, the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism identifies the need to reform the education curricula as a means of combatting Antisemitism. However, there is very little factual material available in the education system that deals with verifiable history and the legal basis that led to the establishment of the State of Israel, and its legitimacy in the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.

A Compelling Documentary Series about Israel’s Homeland

The Whose Land? Documentary Series, produced by Title Deed Media, examines the legitimacy of the State of Israel in International Law. These unique films feature in-depth interviews with a team of highly qualified lawyers, historians and diplomats. The documentaries are presented and narrated by Colonel Richard Kemp CBE and produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Hugh Kitson.

Whose Land? was originally produced as a two-part feature-length documentary series.

Part One: Foundations of Israel’s Statehood

Part One – entitled Foundations – examines the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948 through the lens of verifiable recorded history and established principles of international law.

Part Two: International Law, Jerusalem and Sovereignty

Part Two – entitled The Law of Occupation and the Status of Jerusalem – begins with the attempt by five Arab armies – backed by the former Mandatory power, Great Britain – to annihilate the nascent State of Israel in 1948. A further attempt to annihilate the Jewish state was made by its Arab neighbours in 1967. In what was known as ‘the Six-Day War’, Israel regained all of the territory it was designated to have in the Mandate for Palestine.

This documentary examines issues such as who has the right of sovereignty over the regained disputed territories – again through the lens of international law that apply to all other countries – as well as the propaganda war waged against the Jewish state. It deals with such issues as the rewriting of history and lawfare – the deliberate weaponizing of ‘international law’ against the State of Israel.

Designed for Schools, Universities and Community Education

Subsequently the Whose Land? series was divided into 19 shorter episodes averaging around 11 minutes duration which would be suitable for use in a classroom setting. These episodes can be viewed on our Youtube Channel: youtube.com/@whoseland

The Whose Land? series was filmed entirely before the invasion of Israel by Hamas on 7th October 2023 in which about 1,200 Israelis were massacred, and a further 251 taken hostage into Gaza. Consequently, this series does not cover this tragic event or the war that followed. Potentially this would be covered in a potential Whose Land? Part Three.

Upcoming Melbourne Screening

Whose Land? Part Two is being screened in the south-east suburbs of Melbourne on Monday 15th June. Tickets are available at events.humanitix.com/whose-land-part-2/. Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start. The screening is sponsored by the Australian Jewish Association, Never Again is Now and Allies for Strong Australia.
