Josh Hasten’s appearance on i24NEWS English talking about the UN and the rest of the world condemning #Israel for the approval of housing in Judea/Samaria. They are obsessed with Israel and ignore terrorism and war everywhere else! The most natural thing is for JEWS to build in JUDEA!
On Saturday, 17 people were killed, including civilians in Khartoum, Sudan in a war taking place in that country. At the same time, ISIS terrorists murdered 37, including school children in Uganda. Yet not a peep from the US State Department, and a mild condemnation from a minor UN body. However, a day later, on Sunday, when the folks in the US are usually enjoying a day off, a State Department spokesman left the beach (so to speak) in order to condemn Israel for announcements that it is approving the construction of 4,500 homes in Judea and Samaria, and that the process for building approvals in Judea and Samaria would be less bureaucratic. Talk about obsessive hypocrisy! Plus, the other latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

The Israeli government seems to be starting to fall in line with a request by Washington not to take any “provocative measures” in Judea and Samaria ahead of the July 13 visit by U.S. President Joe Biden to the Jewish state.

The decision by the Israel Lands Authority last month to award contracts to several building companies allowing them to begin marketing 1,257 new housing units in Jerusalem’s 42-acre southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Hamatos has been applauded by some, while also garnering international attention, including rousing condemnation from others.
