After five years in the halls of the United Nations and with an eye towards the future, he tells JNS: “I found out that at the United Nations, you have hostility towards Israel. There is a double standard, but you can create change.”
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with author Jodi Samuels upon the release of her new book Chutzpah, Wisdom, and Wine. In the book Samuels shares her journey from Johannesburg to Jerusalem via New York, as a community leader, world traveler, special needs advocate, outreach initiator – hosting hundreds of people in her home for events and Shabbat meals, and much more!
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a very special interview with Ashager Araro, the founder of Battae (“my house” in Amaharic), the Ethiopian Israeli Heritage Center in Tel Aviv. Araro, who was born in the desert as her parents literally walked to Israel on foot from Ethiopia, with her mom being nine months pregnant, shares her family’s heroic personal story of Zionism. Like many new ventures Battae, which opened in 2019, is suffering the pinch caused by the Coronavirus, and as a result Araro has founded a campaign in order to continue her mission to educate about Ethiopian Israeli heritage.

Dubbed “The American Road,” the new highway is being hailed as one of the biggest infrastructure projects undertaken by Jerusalem in the last several years.

After a 30-year legal battle, a Jerusalem court has ruled that the Sumarin family must vacate a property located in eastern Jerusalem and return it to its rightful owners. The family has been supported by some 30 left-wing organizations with many funded by the European Union.

“We find it implausible that the Palestinian Authority managed to hide thousands of trucks dumping garbage over the side of a cliff along a major highway for weeks on end,” said Regavim, which is pressing for cleanup and a resolution to the situation.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Joseph Gitler, Founder and Chairman of Leket, Israel’s National Food Bank. During the Corona crisis, the organization had to adjust its model in order to provide thousands of prepared meals for those in need, including those vulnerable populations who couldn’t leave their homes. For the past 17 years Leket has rescued immeasurable amounts of food to assist the hungry throughout the country.

Josh Hasten appeared on i24NEWS English last night about Israel applying sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria. It didn’t happen on July 1, but let’s see what happens here in the next few days/weeks.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a very special interview with David Angel, Director of Strategic Partnerships for Ogen, an Israeli non-profit which lends money to those in need through donations and impact investments. The organization has raised over $30 million to help small businesses and others struggling under the Coronavirus pandemic. Plus in the second half of the show – all the latest news from Israel. Will Israel apply sovereignty to Judea and Samaria on July 1? The verdict is still out.
As predicted by the Biblical commentator Rashi centuries ago, Israel this week was accused by a European Union leader of violating the Seventh Commandment of “Thou shalt not steal,” because of the current plan to apply sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria. But as the famous commentary suggests, the Bible begins by describing how G-d created the world in order to show that he gave out all of the lands on earth as he saw fit – giving the Land of Israel, including Judea and Samaria, to the Jewish people. Listen to today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, and hear for yourselves, how the ancient text comes to life in our times with outside forces accusing the Jews of being thieves and bandits in our own land.
