Netanyahu Campaigning in Judea/Samaria

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses some of the comments made by Prime Minister Netanyahu on a visit yesterday to Gush Etzion. The Prime Minister promised that if elected to another term he would work on authorizing some of the “young communities,” throughout Judea and Samaria, which have received government support but have not gotten a final stamp of approval. The Prime Minister used his visit to make his case as to why the Israeli public should back his Likud Party in the March 23 Knesset Elections.

BDS in Cahoots with Terrorists

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a Jerusalem Post report reveals that at least 60 anti-Israel BDS groups recently took part in two online events led by leaders from Iran, Hamas, and other terror organizations. The fact that BDS groups are in direct cahoots with these terrorist entities proves that their true mission isn’t to encourage the boycotting of Israel, or to improve Arab lives, but rather their goal is to destroy the Jewish State.

Israel Weighs Response to Attacked Cargo Ship

Israel’s top officials are pointing a finger at Iran over an attack on an Israeli cargo ship this week in the Gulf of Oman. Pundits are now discussing what a potential response would be by Israel over this aggression. No injuries were reported, as the ship made its way to Dubai, for repair. With the US seeking to reenter the bad Iranian nuclear deal in some form, Israel might need to focus on its new close ties with Arab Gulf-States to thwart Iran’s nuclear and world-wide terror ambitions. This story plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Assuming a KKL-JNF vote will lead to the changes feared by Jacobs, including the endangerment of a two-state solution, then my response would be a resounding “Hallelujah!”

The decision by the Israel Lands Authority last month to award contracts to several building companies allowing them to begin marketing 1,257 new housing units in Jerusalem’s 42-acre southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Hamatos has been applauded by some, while also garnering international attention, including rousing condemnation from others.

Comparing Kindergartens to Terrorism

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, the US State Department Spokesman called on Israel the other day to refrain from building in Judea and Samaria and in the same breath called on the PA to stop paying the salaries of terrorists. Can a comparison really be made between the construction of new kindergartens, and terrorist rewards for murdering Israeli civilians? The new US State Department apparently thinks so. Plus for the first time ever the KKL-JNF is considering to openly fund the purchase of land from Arabs in Judea and Samaria in order to help develop more Jewish communities there. The final vote on the matter will be held after Israel’s elections. Plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.
