I had a reunion with my old co-host Daniela Giulia Traub on the Israel Victory Podcast today. She joined me, Joshua Hasten and Rachel Touitou to discuss the week’s events in Israel including will Bibi succeed with coalition building? How is Bibi similar to Bismarck? Does Israel need US aid? What do Israelis think of American Jewry reaction to our elections? And how was the new season of GOT received in the Middle East?
Listen in to #Israelelections2019” edition!! I am joined by Daniel Seaman, Rachel Touitou, and Alex Selsky.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a discussion on the big election victory for PM Netanyahu and the Likud Party. Then an interview with Rabbi Guy Avihod with some Passover insights as the Jewish People prepare to celebrate the holiday of freedom.
In this special “Election 2019” edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Dan Diker Research Fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Diker gives his expert analysis on all the possible scenarios once the votes are counted for the 21st Knesset election. Will Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud Party get the most votes or will it be Benny Gantz’s Blue and White? Will Netanyahu be tasked with forming a government coalition, or will Blue and White get the first opportunity? Hear Diker explain what could happen in the days and weeks following the election as coalition negotiations get into high gear.
On this week’s episode we discuss “bots” and terrorists as Israel is one week away from elections for the 21st Knesset.
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.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Yisrael “Winkie” Medad – Jerusalem Post columnist and Research Fellow at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, on President’s Trump’s tweet indicating that it’s time for the United States to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Medad explains from a historical, legal, and security perspective why the Golan should always be in Israeli hands. Also on the show, Josh shares his reactions to this morning’s terrorist rocket attack from Gaza in which seven Israelis were wounded in a community north of Tel Aviv.
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.

Youngsters meet on a regular basis out in nature, where they hike and are given educational workshops on skills related to the land, and ultimately, are taught how to be guides.
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.
