In the footsteps of Orde Wingate - Colonel Richard Kemp's visit to Australia

Colonel Richard Kemp (CBE) was a distinguished infantry officer, an intelligence and counter terrorism expert, and currently a very sought after public speaker and author. Among his assignments were the command of Operation Fingal in Afghanistan from July to November 2003. Colonel Kemp was invited by the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) to speak in front of the Jewish Community of Australia.

In this exclusive interview to SBS Hebrew Shalom Australia, Colonel Kemp has the courage and the integrity to defend Western values, "a politically incorrect stand in the present era". Even more courageous and admirable is Colonel’s Kemp’s "unwavering support of Israel" and his willingness to assert, loud and clear, how "hypocritical and mindless it is to parrot From the River to the Sea and likewise cliches".

Colonel Richard Kemp also tells us about the new documentary 'Whose Land', as well about some fascinating historical personalities such as colonel Richard Meinertzhagen and Orde Wingate, who "played a decisive role in the creation of the State of Israel".
