Former PM Barak Bashing Israel’s Government Abroad

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak took the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to task for not openly supporting the so-called anti-judicial (anti-government) protest movement. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Barak’s behavior, speaking (via Zoom) abroad against the government, is despicable and beyond the pale and could potentially turn young, impressionable American Jews against the State of Israel. This story and all the latest news from Israel are on this week’s podcast.

Jihadist Murders Jewish Father and Son in Huwara

On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh discusses the terrorist attack over the weekend, in which a Jewish father and son were murdered – gunned down in the Arab village of Huwara in Samaria. Security forces remain in pursuit of the terrorist. At the same time, the EU demonstrated the ultimate chutzpah, calling on Israel to offer compensation, after Civil Administration officials destroyed an illegal EU-funded PA school. Josh says that the EU officials, who arrive in Israel, build illegally in an attempt to take over Israeli State land, and then have the gall to ask for compensation, should be sent packing. These stories and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s podcast.

As Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons and export terrorism all over the world, Josh says that Israel should be very concerned if this deal is signed.

Biden Rips “Extreme” Israeli Government

In a CNN interview over the weekend, United States President Joe Biden ripped Israel’s current government as being “one of the most extreme cabinets I’ve seen…” Biden, ignoring recent terrorist attacks targeting Israel civilians and soldiers, instead essentially justified his decision not to invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a White House visit. At the same time, his administration increased funding for the United Nations UNRWA organization, despite the anti-Israel hate taught in the organization’s education system, and their use of Arab “refugees” and their descendants as pawns against the Jewish State.
