Will the New Government Create Change or Kick the Can Down the Road?
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten interviews Israeli travel expert Yomi Groner. Groner talks about many issues affecting the lives of Israelis on a daily basis which he hopes the new government, under Prime Minister Netanyahu, will address. He would like concrete steps to be taken in regard to transportation, pension payments, and housing, in addition to the topics which are usually the focus of the news cycle. Also on the show, Josh gives his take on the election results, and calls out the haters who claim the sky is falling and that Israel is doomed following the rightward results. Some of those same people have been holding Israel to a different standard for years regardless of the government makeup.

Pre-Election Terrorism
As Israel prepares to elect representatives to the 25th Knesset on Tuesday, Arab terrorists continue their daily onslaught. On Saturday night an Israeli was murdered in a shooting attack near Kiryat Arba, while on Sunday a Jihadist rammed his car into a group of soldiers in the Dead Sea area. On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh encourages Israeli voters to go to the polls and vote for those candidates who will implement policies of true deterrence against those contemplating attacks on Jewish Israelis.
‘Pinot Chamot’ Provide Warm Welcome, Respite for IDF Soldiers

Efrat’s Sukkah of Peace: Building Hope from the Ground Up
Defying possible retribution by the Palestinian Authority and others, around 20 Arabs who live under the P.A. in Gush Etzion joined with some 50 of their Jewish neighbors to break bread and get to know one another, at the traditional “Sukkah of Peace in Efrat” during the recent holiday.
Rock (and Gun) Terrorism Around the Clock
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares what his commute to Jerusalem from Gush Etzion looked like this morning as Arab terrorists finished attacking an Israeli bus near Tekoa, and were then rioting in their village. IDF troops arrived at the scene to disperse those responsible. Nevertheless, the last few days have seen a slew of rock and firebomb attacks, along with shootings on the roads of Judea and Samaria. Josh says that the political echelon must direct the IDF to use all its might and all tools at its disposal to squash the hornet’s nests of terror.
