Time to Kill Terrorists

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Col. (res) Maurice Hirsch who is the head of legal strategies for the Palestinian Media Watch organization. In his latest column featured on the Mida news magazine website, Hirsch argues that instead of targeting empty buildings, Israel should be targeting the Hamas terrorists themselves. Hirsch is worried that Israel’s response to rocket attacks, which includes giving prior warnings before attacking strategic targets thus allowing the terrorists to flee, shows that unfortunately “Israel’s leaders, together with the IDF, have lost the desire to defend Israel’s sovereignty and defeat its enemies.” A sad state of affairs indeed.

Two Jews Murdered in Ariel Attack

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Hasten discusses yesterday’s murderous Jihadist attack, which claimed the lives of two Israelis while another is fighting for his life. In the stabbing/shooting near Ariel, the two Israelis murdered were Rabbi Achiad Ettinger a father of 12 from Eli, and 19-year-old IDF Sgt. Gal Keidan. Hasten says that while the Jews have been targeted by their enemies for thousands of years, now that we have a State, and an army, it’s time for a leader to emerge who will show strength, and create deterrence so our enemies know not to start up with the State of Israel and the Jewish People.

Stand Up Against Anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party!

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Daniel Seaman the Middle East Forum’s Israel Director, and former head of the Israel Government Press Office. Seaman pulls no punches in letting the American Jewish community know what he thinks they should be doing in response to anti-Semitic tropes from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and the overall failure of the Democrats to pass a resolution exclusively condemning the hatred of Jews. Seaman also gives his thoughts on a new Israeli election poll which shows that PM Netanyahu’s Likud is gaining on the Blue and White party of Benny Gantz.

“Why Are We Still Afraid?”

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten a very special interview with Mark Lavie, who has been a journalist covering Israel and the Middle East since 1972. Lavie’s new book, “Why Are We Still Afraid” insists that while Israel today has many enemies, the Jewish State faces no existential threats. Lavie says that we should therefore focus on fixing our societal problems instead. Lavie also says that the BDS movement might be noisy, but has done very little harm over the past decade, as Israel continues to expand into many markets around the globe.

Why Go after Netanyahu’s Bread and Butter?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with renowned journalist Ruthie Blum. Blum criticizes Israel Resilience Party leader Benny Gantz for his attacks on Prime Minister Netanyahu. Instead of focusing on issues he has with the PM’s policies, Blum explains that for some reason Gantz decided to attack Netanyahu for his strengths – namely speaking English at a mother tongue level, and his diplomatic prowess on the world stage. Also, while Blum says that Netanyahu’s decision to partner with the Otzma Party may or may not harm him come election day, she explains that like them or not, Otzma was in fact permitted to run in the elections by Israel’s courts.
