Settlers attacking Palestinians and activists in the West Bank, drawing widespread condemnation ‘It does not represent 99.9% of the population in Judea and Samaria,’ says Josh Hasten, spokesperson for the Gush Etzion Regional Council – in debate with Yariv Oppenheimer, former director of Peace Now.
In today’s crazy world, an armed Muslim terrorist taking Jewish worshipers hostage during a Shabbat service in a synagogue isn’t considered antisemitism. But that is the case, as US government authorities and various mainstream media outlets somehow questioned the intent of a terrorist who entered a Texas synagogue and took hostages this past Shabbat. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten breaks down the Texas attack and reminds Jewish communities all over the world to stage vigilant as hatred for the Jewish People runs wild, as it has for thousands of years.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with The Land of Israel Network’s co-founder Jeremy Gimpel. Gimpel along with Land of Israel co-founder Ari Abramowitz are digging their heels in as Israel’s Civil Administration has issued a directive stating that they are planning on destroying Jeremy and Ari’s vineyards at the Arugot Farms. The pair have been working tirelessly on their crops for over five years and have invested hundreds of thousands of shekels into them, yet for reasons unknown, they were informed that on Tuesday January 11, troops would be sent to the site to uproot their work. Listen to this week’s show to hear how you can help support Jeremy and Ari leading up to the potential destruction of their crops.
UPDATE – After the interview was recorded, the Civil Administration delayed the uprooting of the vineyard. They didn’t cancel their decision, but delayed it. Jeremy and Ari fear that the uprooting can take place at any time.

Israel’s Sovereignty Movement, headed by Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover, organized a tour of the Negev Desert on Dec. 28 for journalists, think-tank professionals and influencers to get a glimpse into the lives of the 300,000 Bedouin who live in that region.
A recent survey shows that most Arabs living in Gaza blame the Palestinian Authority and Hamas for their current situation, and not Israel! 70% of the residents there hold their leadership and the PA responsible for the hardships they endure. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Israel needs to adopt policies in regard to Gaza based on this reality. Instead of bolstering Hamas along with the PA, which divert international funds to line their pockets, and use raw materials from Israel to strengthen their terror arsenal, Israel needs to crack down harder instead of emboldening these groups. Josh says that the people of Gaza should be encouraged to turn against their abusive leaders who are being used as pawns against the Jewish State.

Israeli father and husband Yehuda Dimentman, 25, HY”D was murdered in a northern Samaria drive-by shooting this week carried out by a Jihadist terror cell. In addition several terror stabbing attempts tooks place over the past several days in Hebron and Jerusalem respectively. This in addition to a spike in the daily rock and fire bomb attacks on the roads throughout Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem. Are we in the midst of yet another wave of terror? Josh Hasten weighs in on this week’s Israel Uncensored.
Josh Hasten appeared on i24NEWS English to discuss “settler violence.” Tragic and ironic that such a discussion happened as an Israeli was murdered by a Muslim terrorist. While Jewish sporadic violence carried out by 0.1% of the community is condemned by #Israel, on the other hand the PA incentivizes the murder of Jews with multiple attacks taking place daily – each and every day.
As global tensions with Iran are close to a breaking point, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett yesterday headed to the UAE for meetings with Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ).

This story plus all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
