Much of the three-day Israel Allies Foundation’s (IAF) annual Chairman’s Conference focused on combating the recent European Court of Justice ruling calling for the labeling of Jewish products from Judea and Samaria as being made in “Israeli settlements,” as opposed to “Made in Israel.”
As thousands of Israeli kids from the Bnei Akiva religious Zionist youth movement were celebrating the culmination of a month-long period of festive activities, Hamas tried to ruin the party by firing rockets at the southern town of Sderot. The Sderot youth who gathered for their event were shaken but not defeated as they sang “the eternal nation is not afraid of a long journey.” The message was clear – the Jews have been targeted by her enemies for thousands of years, but we’re finally home, and not going anywhere. Josh discusses this story and everything else in the news from Israel on this week’s edition of “Israel Uncensored.”

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh jumps from topic to topic in a week which saw the announcement of a new Jewish neighborhood in Hebron, while IDF forces neutralized a terror cell in that same area, which had been making a habit of trying to murder Israeli motorists on the roads. Also, did you realize that 2,600 rockets have been fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza in the past two years alone? Someone is keeping score, but will someone finally do what it takes to stop the rockets? All of this and much more on today’s show.

Hason talks about his organization’s important work with soldiers who arrive in Israel, with little to no family, in order to follow their hearts and serve in the IDF. The center is currently getting ready for their annual Thanksgiving party for lone soldiers to be held in Jerusalem on Thursday November 28. Also on today’s show Josh wraps up a tumultuous week in Israel with over 400 rockets fired by terror groups in Gaza at the communities in the south and center of the country. After 18 years of rocket fire, will it ever end?
