    Jun 24 2026
    The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM Title: L’Chaim – To Life Mythbuster – Things You Didn't Know Were invented By Jews (*from 0:34 mins) Description: Inventions, innovations, and breakthroughs created by Jewish inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs that are embedded so deeply into modern daily life that most people use them without any idea who made them. From the polio vaccine that saved millions of lives to the search engine you to the jeans you're probably wearing right now — Jewish innovators created or co-created products, technologies, medical breakthroughs, and systems that the modern world cannot function without. Who invented each one, when they created it, what their Jewish background was, why Jewish overrepresentation in innovation mirrors the same pattern seen in Nobel Prizes and academic achievement, how cultural emphasis on education, inquiry, and argumentation produced a population that innovates at a rate wildly disproportionate to its size, why most people don't know the inventors behind these creations were Jewish, and what the full list reveals about a community that represents 0.2% of the global population but created an outsized share of the tools, medicines, technologies, and systems the other 99.8% depends on daily. Title: Michael Gawenda – The cartoonists were the stars of the paper (*from 18:25 mins) Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Michael Gawenda, Walkley Award winner, and former editor and editor-in-chief of The Age, about the Cathy Wilcox cartoon, ‘Grass Roots’, that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age earlier this year. Michael talks about the important role traditionally played by the political cartoonist in the popular press and the process he followed as editor in assessing whether a cartoon should be published. He also talks about the work of the Australian Press Council and his agreement with its important, forceful decision that Wilcox’s cartoon had encoded harmful antisemitic tropes that Jews secretly controlled or manipulated global events, governments and the media. Michael’s writings can be accessed by logging onto https://michaelgawenda.substack.com/. Title: KAN English News Flash – June 24, 2026 at 2PM IDT (*from 34:11 mins) The latest English language radio news bulletin from KAN, the Israeli Broadcasting Service. Title: Dean Hurlston – Our vision is really to see an Australia where antisemitism is just not possible (*from 41:47 mins) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Dean Hurlston, State Director for Allies for a Strong Australia. Dean outlines how Never Again Is Now that was founded by Mark Leach, has now morphed into the grassroots movement Allies for a Strong Australia, having chapters in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australian and Victoria, with strong interest now in South Australia and Tasmania, for the continued planed nationwide expansion in every electorate. With the Bondi slaughter the wake-up call for all Australians, together the Allies for a Strong Australia are taking a stand against antisemitism that is plaguing Australia and hate. Social cohesion is under severe strain with our democratic values being tested. Allies exists because Australia needs people who are prepared to stand up, speak clearly, build friendships, defend community cohesion, support the Jewish community and others subjected to hate, by strengthening the values that keep Australia, safe, free and united. The Allies chapters are local teams of committed Australians who meet regularly, welcome new supporters, run community events, support rallies, build bridges with churches and faith communities and help turn the shared conviction of social cohesion into practical values and action. The Allies will not surrender to the hatred and division that is now being propagated by radical Islam, hard core leftism, and dishonest media. For more information to join and support the Allies for a Strong Australia go to www.theallies.au or contact Dean at dean@theallies.au. Donations are tax deductible.

He calls it the most significant event in Australian Jewish history, with audiences including non-Jewish Australians, government, and international Jewish communities — and expresses confidence that its recommendations could reduce antisemitism to pre-October 2023 levels.

Title:Lisa Mittleman – Hatred left unchecked to normalise ultimately ends in violence (*from 11:15 mins) Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Lisa Mittleman about her advocacy role as Director of Public Affairs and Strategy at the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA), which entails dealing with government and key decision makers to generate a positive relationship with Israel and the local Jewish community.

Lisa is highly critical of the lack of leadership in government, major institutions and the Arts sector, which led to the normalisation of antisemitism, followed inevitably by acts of violence. However, she sees the invitation to and visit here of Israel’s President Herzog as important for reinforcing the long-held relationship between the two countries. Lisa stresses the importance of individual submissions to the Royal Commission that describe lived experiences of antisemitism. People are encouraged to go to www.zfa.com.au or www.shareyourstory.org.au to access the submission form.
