Terror at Home and Abroad

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the blast which took place near the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi on Friday. Many believe the explosion was a warning shot sent by an Iranian-backed terror group who may be planning future attacks against Israeli targets in that area of the world. At the same time here in Israel, an Arab terrorist tried to carry out a stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction yesterday. Thanks to an alert IDF soldier, the terrorist was killed before he could inflict any damage. These stories plus all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s show.

Should Groups Accusing Israel of Apartheid be Allowed into Schools?

On today’s edition of Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten expresses his approval of the Education Ministry’s decision to ban the organization B’Tselem from speaking in Israeli schools, after the group decided to accuse Israel of being an Apartheid State. While some believe Israeli youth should be exposed to all views in order to decide on the issues for themselves, Josh asks, “where is the line?” Should Arab terrorists, neo-Nazis, or others be allowed into schools in the name of freedom of speech? At the same time Josh says that accusing Israel of Apartheid is an insult to those who experienced true Apartheid in South Africa. Plus, for the first time since the establishment of the State, Aliyah has been put on hold for a week, as the government has ordered the closure of Ben-Gurion airport in order to stifle the various corona virus mutations, which have made their way into the country.

How Does One Mistakenly Pass Out Textbooks Calling for Jihad?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, the United Nations agency responsible for helping so-called “Palestinian refugees,” known as UNRWA says it “mistakenly included” children’s school textbooks for PA kids, which praised jihad and called for Israel’s destruction. Josh isn’t buying UNRWA’s claims of a mistake pointing out that UNRWA schools have been inciting against the Jewish State for decades through their teachings and textbooks. He says that perhaps the only mistake they made was not including enough Jew/Israel hated in their books, as they continue to keep their residents in squalor while blaming Israel for their population’s woes.

Is a Storming of the Knesset Possible?

On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that following last week’s violent breach into the US Capitol Building in Washington D.C., many are asking, ‘can something similar happen in Israel?’ With rampant pro and anti Netanyahu demonstrations these days, and with many other segments of society taking to the streets for their respective causes, can it get to the point where Israeli citizens threaten to storm the Knesset? At the same time, even with dangerous unprecedented censorship coming from the social media giants, Josh says that cooler heads in Israel must prevail. Plus all the latest information on the coronavirus pandemic as Israel is in the midst of a third lockdown. While Israel is taking the world lead in vaccinations, other countries are asking the Jewish State for help in this massive inoculation initiative for their people. Perhaps certain countries will be grateful and vote against anti-Israel resolutions in world bodies as a ‘thank you.’ Time will tell.

Israel Starts to Vaccinate

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu went on television this past Saturday night and received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, in order to set an example for the Israeli public, encouraging everyone to vaccinate.

Plus breaking news – the body of a 52-year-old Israeli woman was found late Saturday night in a forest in northern Samaria.

Going Crazy Over Jerusalem Apartments
