On Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day), Israelis celebrate the bravery and heroism of those who fought in the 1948 War of Independence to ensure the survival of the fledgling Jewish state.
On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses Israel’s Memorial Day – Yom Hazikaron, which this year carries many fresh wounds following the October 7, massacre. He also discusses the Biden Administration’s decision to impose an arms embargo against the Jewish State in the middle of a just war to defeat Hamas evil. Prime Minister Netanyahu insists that Israel will finish off Hamas, on our own, if necessary. Plus, Israel gears up for Independence Day – Yom Ha’azmaut even as the war wages on, with Israeli troops now fighting in Rafah and in other parts of Gaza. Chag Sameach to all!
Prime Minister Netanyahu has declared that a Rafah operation will happen regardless of whether Hamas accepts the new hostage deal offered by Israel. But how much longer will Israel wait to go in? How much of this rhetoric is public diplomacy and how much can be trusted as actual policy?

As world Jewry commemorates Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day, on today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the same Jew-hatred which existed in Nazi Germany is very much alive today. He said that while the October 7 massacre isn’t the Holocaust, the same ideology – which seeks to wipe the Jewish People off the face of the earth, is very much alive in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, in Europe, and on college campuses in the United States, in the form of Jihad.

In another slight to the Netanyahu government, Senator Majority Chuck Schumer has labeled PM Netanyahu an obstacle to peace and called for elections in Israel. In addition, more sanctions have been put on “violent settlers”.
