Antisemitism is on the rise. The West stands at a crossroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHatred was once whispered. Now it roars-and too many look away. But what happens when someone outside the Jewish community refuses to stay silent, instead choosing to speak out boldly and without apology?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn A Light Still Burns, Michael Scott CSC-highly decorated Australian Army officer and founder of The 2023 Foundation-delivers a powerful and deeply personal call to conscience. Drawing from over three decades of military service and a transformative posting in Jerusalem with the United Nations, Scott offers a fearless defense of Israel and its values shared with the West, which are now under siege.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith piercing clarity, Scott unpacks the horror of October 7, 2023-and the chilling aftermath on the streets of Sydney that compelled him to act. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, Scott exposes the new face of antisemitism, the ideological assault on truth, and the West's slow moral decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there is also a light revealing a path forward. A Light Still Burns is a rallying cry-a passionate reminder that courage is contagious and in the face of darkness, even one voice can ignite hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColonel Michael Scott CSC served as an Australian Army officer for over thirty years, including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and a 27-month secondment with the United Nations in Jerusalem. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe is the founder of The 2023 Foundation, a global initiative combatting antisemitism and strengthening shared democratic values, and a graduate of Duntroon and NYU Stern (MBA). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis writing has appeared in The Australian Jewish News, United Kingdom Jewish News, Times of Israel, and The Jerusalem Post.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWicked Son Publishing 20205, paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581882101829,"sku":"300297","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/9997\/3445\/files\/a-light-still-burns-israel-and-the-values-worth-defending-michael-scott-lightstillburns-5940897.jpg?v=1769796547","url":"https:\/\/shop.sydneyjewishmuseum.com.au\/products\/a-light-still-burns-israel-and-the-values-worth-defending-michael-scott","provider":"Sydney Jewish Museum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
