Even if it’s hard, do what’s right: Erin Molan’s fight for Israel

At the Jewish National Fund-USA 2025 Global Conference, IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz interviewed Australian journalist Erin Molan, who shared her transformation from sports anchor to global advocate for Israel and Western values. Deeply influenced by her late father, Major General Andrew Molan, Erin described how the reaction to Hamas’s October 7 attacks compelled her to speak out against terrorism, despite severe backlash and death threats. She warned that the conflict extends beyond Israel, reflecting a broader struggle for democracy and moral clarity across the West. Molan condemned biased media coverage and rising antisemitism in Australia, calling for everyday people to speak truth and challenge misinformation. Reflecting on her visits to Israel, she praised Israelis’ resilience and compassion, sharing moving encounters that reaffirmed her mission. Now hosting The Erin Molan Show on the Salem Network, she continues to champion Israel and the values her father taught her: “Even if it’s hard, always do what’s right.”

Erin Molan is a global media thought leader, an outspoken advocate for Israel, and a relentless anti-domestic violence campaigner. As one of Australia’s most prominent TV and Radio presenters, she is the former host of, ‘Erin’ on Sky News and former columnist for the Daily Telegraph. From sports to politics, as the host of X.com’s (formerly Twitter) largest online show, 69X Minutes, Molan’s commentary and analysis have given a voice to millions. In the wake of the October 7 attacks on Israel, Molan emerged as a powerful voice, unflinchingly calling for action and supporting Israel and the Jewish community.
