The American People Stand With Israel

The Land of Israel · Israel Uncensored: The American People Stand With Israel

Even as the Biden Administration threatens that Israel is on the verge of losing international support due to its “conservative” government, a recent poll shows that over 80% of the American people stand with Israel in its war to eradicate Hamas. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how despite the weekly attempts by the U.S. president to overturn all of the pro-Israel gestures implemented under President Trump – this week it was Secretary of State Blinken stating that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal under international law, the American people are not being fooled. They continue to maintain their moral clarity when it comes to the Jewish State.

U.S. Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution

The Land of Israel · Israel Uncensored: U.S. Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution

The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Algerian-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Biden administration is playing both sides of the fence. The veto is appreciated, but at the same time the U.S. continues to call for the establishment of a P.A. state which would be a win for Hamas, while also voicing concern over a necessary military operation in Rafah. Israel insists that it will continue full steam ahead until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are brought home.

Terrorist Outside My Window

The Land of Israel · Israel Uncensored: Terrorist Outside My Window

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares how yesterday in Gush Etzion a knife-wielding terrorist, initially using his car as a weapon to try and ram into Israeli civilians and soldiers, was neutralized by Israeli security forces. Josh heard shots outside his window from just 50 meters away, and realized a security event was taking place. Thanks to alert security patrolmen, the terrorist, who was hoping to get out of his car and stab any Jew in sight after his failed ramming-attempt, didn’t get the chance.
