Did Zionism Die in 1967?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Rabbi Yehuda HaKohen from the Brit Hazon – Vision Alliance Movement. His movement’s goal is to re-instill a sense of Zionism for Jews in Israel and around the world, which he says perhaps has faded since Israel’s miraculous victory in the 1967 Six Day War. Hear how HaKohen and his colleagues are intellectually inspiring and shaping the next generation of Jewish thinkers and leaders.

The Head-Scratching Israeli Election

Israelis went to the polls this past week, but results produced a stalemate leading to a period of uncertainty as to which Israeli leader will form the next government. While Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party received two more Knesset mandates than the incumbent – Prime Minster Netanyahu’s Likud, neither side has enough support to form a government. The ball is now in the court of President Reuven Rivlin to try and help the sides make compromises to reach the necessary 61 seats. If not, Israel could in fact be headed towards yet another election – its third in less than a year, this coming winter. On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh tries to sort out the confusion and explain Rivlin’s daunting task.

Israel Getting Ready to Vote

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh speaks to representatives from two of the right-leaning parties who according to polls will pass the electoral threshold as Israel gets ready to elect representatives to the 22nd Knesset on Tuesday. First it’s Jeremy Saltan English Campaign Manager and candidate for Knesset from the Yamina party. Then a conversation with Fred Moncharsh, Likud Central Party Committee member. Yamina and Likud have gone after each other in recent days trying to secure votes on the right. Who should right-leaning Israelis vote for? Maybe the Otzma Yehudit party is the answer? Either way, Josh says that the Jewish People living in the State of Israel are blessed to be able to elect their own leadership after 2,000 years in exile.
