UNESCO Tries to Erase Jewish Heritage
During Rosh Hashanah, (how ironic) the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), once again tried to erase the 4,000 year old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel by declaring the ancient town of Jericho to be a “State of Palestine” world heritage site. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that yet again another UN body has proven it has Jew-hatred in its ranks, trying to destroy a part of our ancient Jewish heritage.

Abbas the Holocaust Denier, Never Deserved an Award
The Mayor of Paris has revoked a prestigious award given to PA head Mahmoud Abbas over comments he made last week in which he claimed that Jews were murdered in the Holocaust because of their role as money lenders. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Abbas, a well-known Holocaust denier and terrorist, should have never received the award in the first place. Josh adds that what is worse is that Israel allows this Jew-hater to remain in control of the PA in Judea and Samaria, as he denies the Nazi genocide against the Jews, while at the same time continues to pay terrorist’s salaries for murdering Israelis.

Will Israel Take Necessary Action in South Tel Aviv?
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a look at the riots which took place in south Tel Aviv over the weekend, in which groups of Eritreans with different political views violently attacked each other and the police. A statement from the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu’s office announced they will “convene a special ministerial team to examine measures to be taken against illegal infiltrators who took part in the disturbances, including steps toward deportation.” However Josh says that it is unlikely that deportations, justified as they are, will take place. He argues that Israel refuses to deport Arab terrorists or their families, and therefore sadly will most likely not take necessary action in this case as well.

Former PM Barak Bashing Israel’s Government Abroad
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak took the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to task for not openly supporting the so-called anti-judicial (anti-government) protest movement.

Jihadist Murders Jewish Father and Son in Huwara
On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh discusses the terrorist attack over the weekend, in which a Jewish father and son were murdered – gunned down in the Arab village of Huwara in Samaria. Security forces remain in pursuit of the terrorist. At the same time, the EU demonstrated the ultimate chutzpah, calling on Israel to offer compensation, after Civil Administration officials destroyed an illegal EU-funded PA school.

These stories and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s podcast.
Israel Unhappy with Potential Iran Payoff
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu slammed reports of a potential US-Iran deal, in which Tehran would receive billions of dollars in frozen assets in exchange for the release of five US prisoners. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that once again the Biden Administration is showing weakness, akin to someone paying off the mob for “promises” of quiet. As Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons and export terrorism all over the world, Josh says that Israel should be very concerned if this deal is signed.
