The first commercial Egyptair flight touched down at Ben-Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv on Sunday, potentially symbolizing a new chapter in the relationship between Israel and Egypt, which has been at peace, albeit a cold one, since the two nations signed a diplomatic agreement in 1979.
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.
