Taking Out the Trash

Israel over the weekend targeted Mohammad Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing, in an Air Force attack. While Deif’s fate remains unknown, Israel did eliminate terrorist Rafa Salama, Hamas’ top commander in Khan Yunis. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says taking out the heads of Hamas is key towards dismantling the terrorist organization’s capabilities, while it also serves as a psychological win, as those who support Hamas should know, the group’s days are numbered.

Israel Legalizes Five New Communities in Judea and Samaria

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how Israel’s cabinet this week granted full legalization to five communities in Judea and Samaria. While he applauded the decision, Hasten says that Israel should stress that the communities gained full recognition – not as a response to terrorist attacks or as a punishment. Rather, Judea and Samaria are the heartland of the State of Israel and the Jewish People and it’s our right to live and build in these areas.
