Despite a military closure, on Monday a diverse group of hundreds of protesters from all over Israel gathered at the country’s Kerem Shalom border crossing with Gaza for the sixth day in a row, to demonstrate against the flow of humanitarian aid into the Hamas-controlled enclave.
Gaza
Two-State Insanity
As Israel continues to fight against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, the Biden Administration, the EU, and the UN, are obsessively focused on the “day after” the war, which they insist would include the establishment of a PA state. After more than 30 years of failed Oslo-based policies, which have only resulted in terrorism, war, and the spilling of Jewish blood, a good portion of the world is talking about creating a PA state by force, regardless of whether Israel agrees to it or not. Somehow, they argue, such a move will lead to peace and security. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that a two-state solution would be an existential threat to the State of Israel, and that our leadership must stay strong in the face of pressure and not go along with the insanity.

9,000 Dead Hamas Terrorists – A Good Start
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten reacts to an IDF report indicating that 9,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed so far in Gaza. Josh says “it’s a good start,” but Israel still has a long way to go in order to completely eradicate the evil Hamas terrorist regime. Even as the Biden administration is pressuring Israel to “tone down the war,” Josh says that Israel must continue fighting until it achieves a complete victory.
Kick UNRWA Out
The UN Watch organization reports that a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) teachers in Gaza contained posts celebrating the October 7th massacre praising those responsible as “heroes.” The teachers patted themselves on the back for the “education” they gave their students who grew up to become mass murderers. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Israel should once and for all throw UNRWA out of the country. Not only does UNRWA have a presence in Gaza, but they run Arab schools in Judea and Samaria, and in Jerusalem, just 10 minutes from the center of town. Bottom line – once and for all, UNRWA must go!
“West Bank in Further Crisis: Escalating Violence and an Uncertain Future”
Yesha council is an umbrella organization in the West Bank supporting the Jewish communities of this region and the Jordan Valley. The 24 elected mayors of this council represent about half a million Jews in this region. Joshua Hasten, the international spokesperson for the Yesha council, shares his view about the claims regarding the increase in settlers’ violence against Palestinians in the West Bank with Radio Farda:
Ringing in the New Year with Rockets
As the clock struck midnight, and we entered 2024, Hamas made sure Israel knew that its rockets and missiles could still reach the center of the country. Around 20 rockets were fired last night, as Gazans cheered the projectiles on (innocent civilians?). Nevertheless, on today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Israel is winning the war, and that Hamas, its leaders, and supporters, must all be wiped off the face of the earth for the good of humanity.
Wartime Questions
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Eve Harow joins Josh Hasten to discuss the latest from the war-front and to ask questions: Why is Israel sending humanitarian aid to her enemies during times of war? Why haven’t any Arab or Muslim nations stepped up to take in their brethren from Gaza, as countries normally step up to assist those affected? Will enough clans in Gaza turn against Hamas, now that they see Hamas stealing food, water, fuel etc. for themselves? These questions and many more on today’s podcast.

The Potential Lessons of the Terror Tunnel Discovery
The IDF on Sunday displayed videos of a massive Hamas terror tunnel it discovered near the Erez Crossing, just 400 meters away from Israeli territory. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Erez, which has been used as the only pedestrian entryway from Gaza to Israel, should be shut down. The Oct. 7 attacks taught us that terrorists in Gaza took advantage of Israel’s humanitarian gestures – allowing Gazans to receive medical care in our hospitals, and also took advantage of work permits in Israel – to feed Hamas intelligence, which ultimately was used against us. Israel used Erez to show kindness and provide livelihoods, while Hamas used Erez to launch attacks. Have we learned our lesson?

Interview on Wradio from Columbia
Josh Hasten was interviewed on a Spanish channel called Wradio out of Columbia, very popular in Latin America. The questions he was asked were shocking. Much worse then anything seen from any of the other media outlets on the ground here in Israel. When the interview starts, and Josh is referred to as a “settler colonizer” you know where it’s headed.
