Pro-Israel News Anchor Fired From Sky News Australia Vows to Be ‘Loudest Member of the Silent Majority’

“Erin has been a fantastic member of the Sky News team over the past three years, and has worked incredibly hard for her viewers, passionately advocating on the issues close to her heart,” the news network said. “We would like to thank her for her contribution to the network.”

Molan is the daughter of the late Major General Jim Molan, an Australian senator who was an avid supporter of Israel and a strong advocate for Australia-Israel ties. She grew up in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, and joined Sky News Australia in July 2022. Her morning show on Australia’s largest radio station, Southern Cross Austereo, with comedians David Hughes and Ed Kavalee, was canceled in August.

Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, Molan has made numerous comments on her show “Erin” in support of the Jewish state and its military actions targeting the terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip that orchestrated the deadly massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. She has also received death threats for backing the Jewish state.

On Friday, Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson denied that Molan was fired by the network because of her strong support for Israel. Markson wrote on X it is “categorically untrue” that her colleague was sacked by Sky News Australia “because of her Zionism.”

Nevertheless, Molan on Thursday posted a nine-minute video on X in which she talked largely about her unwavering support for Israel, and how she will keep defending the country publicly even after being fired from Sky News Australia. The single mother said that while her show “Erin” became her “purpose” and “passion,” that’s “done now, but I am not. In fact, I’m just getting started.”

She then started listing off the topics close to her heart that she refuses to stay silent about, including “fighting for every single hostage still captive in Gaza hundreds of days in, whilst a fair chunk of the world seemingly not only allows their captors completely off the hook, but praises them, worships them, idolizes them, rewards them.”

“Pressure Hamas? Oh God, no. Don’t be silly; they’re just terrorists, let them be,” she sarcastically added. “Pressure Israel, that’s it. The only democracy in the Middle East fighting bloodthirsty killers on multiple fronts on behalf of the entire world, desperately trying to get their people back, including babies, while simultaneously trying to protect the rest of their citizens from the same fate. Yes, demonize them. They are the problem. What a plan, huh? Brilliant. And how many people fell for it and continue to.”

Molan also discussed continuing to advocate for the innocent children in Gaza suffering under Hamas rule, and further condemned the terrorist organization that perpetrated the Oct. 7 massacre last year. She criticized the “deafening silence” for the women who were killed, raped, and kidnapped by Hamas-led terrorist during the Oct. 7 attack, and the “unfathomable support for evil amongst young people in the West who are so deluded regarding where their empathy belongs.”

“I’m here to be the loudest member of the silent majority that I can be,” she said. “I’m not from Israel. I’m not Jewish … I have no skin in this game. But you see, I do. We all do. It doesn’t matter how far away we are. When hate is allowed to fester, we all lose … And if I back down now and sit idly by, then I am just as much to blame as the fool waving a Hamas flag at a bogus protest that has nothing to do with Palestinian lives.”

“Terrorism and extremism hurts all of us,” she said in conclusion. “That is why I will not stop.”

During one segment on “Erin” in September, Molan told viewers: “If you care about innocent civilians everywhere, then you must stand with Israel. Imagine the Middle East without terror. Hard to, isn’t it? Imagine every cent in Gaza going towards health and education, instead of terror tunnels and bombs … imagine peace. There’s only one side fighting for that right now and their victory in the Middle East is the only one that will ever achieve it.”

In October, after the premeditated and violent attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, Molan said: “If it doesn’t hurt you when you look at the footage from Amsterdam, you are not human.”
