On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with JNS.org and Jerusalem Post columnist Ruthie Blum. In her latest Jpost column Blum explains how President Trump’s liquidation of Iranian master terrorist Qasem Soleimani shows that despite previous perceptions, Israel is not alone in it’s fight to keep Iran in check and in preventing the mullahs from acquiring nuclear weapons.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Dr. Harold Rhode, former Adviser on Islamic affairs at the Office of the US Secretary of Defense and renowned scholar on the Islamic world. Dr. Rhode discusses the aftermath of the liquidation of Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who was a terrorist and mass murderer. While Iran is issuing vast threats against the US and Israel as a result of Suleimani’s demise, Rhode said in reality the Iranian leadership is frightened. Rhode is hopeful that one day soon, the Iranian people will be freed from the tyrannical regime in Tehran.

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.

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.”

As many as 1,000 lone soldiers in Israel had the chance to celebrate the holiday with food, friends … and even a little football.
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.
