Can We Achieve Full Sovereignty and Reject a PA State?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh gives his take on the Trump Administration’s “Deal of the Century.” He asks, can Israel under the terms of the proposal annex communities in Judea and Samaria while rejecting a potential PA state in Israel’s heartland, which could become an existential threat? But first on the show, an interview with Yehuda HaKohen, one of the leaders of the “Vision” slate in the current World Zionist Congress Elections. HaKohen shares his party’s outlook under the slogan “Empowering the Next Generation” of Jews.

Gearing up for Trump’s “Deal of the Century”

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an exclusive interview with Ambassador Yoram Ettinger, Israel’s Former Minister for Congressional Affairs in Washington and expert on US/Israel relations. Ettinger is concerned that the authors of the Trump plan might have ignored what he says is the violent nature of the Middle East, particularly in regard to the stability of Israel’s Eastern border, when putting together the proposal (based on expected details of the plan). At the same time while Ettinger praises the unique current US/Israel relationship under the Trump administration, he says that we don’t know what the future will look like come January 21, 2021, if a new US president is sworn into office.

Why Did the Monsey Stabbing Happen?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh tackles the horrible Monsey stabbing, where a machete-wielding hater of the Jews attacked a Hanukkah lighting ceremony in Monsey, NY this past Saturday night. Josh says that those who continue to ask “why” this attack and the many other anti-Semitic attacks are happening, need to wake up to the reality that if you are a Jew you are a target. Josh says that communal Jewish leaders, Rabbis, and others who host public gatherings within the Jewish community are negligent if they don’t provide adequate security in this day and age.
