Saying Thank You to IDF Lone Soldiers

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an interview with Oren Hason, the CEO of the Lone Soldier Center in memory of Michael Levin. Hason talks about his organization’s important work with soldiers who arrive in Israel, with little to no family, in order to follow their hearts and serve in the IDF. The center is currently getting ready for their annual Thanksgiving party for lone soldiers to be held in Jerusalem on Thursday November 28. Also on today’s show Josh wraps up a tumultuous week in Israel with over 400 rockets fired by terror groups in Gaza at the communities in the south and center of the country. After 18 years of rocket fire, will it ever end?

Time to Kill Terrorists

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Col. (res) Maurice Hirsch who is the head of legal strategies for the Palestinian Media Watch organization. In his latest column featured on the Mida news magazine website, Hirsch argues that instead of targeting empty buildings, Israel should be targeting the Hamas terrorists themselves. Hirsch is worried that Israel’s response to rocket attacks, which includes giving prior warnings before attacking strategic targets thus allowing the terrorists to flee, shows that unfortunately “Israel’s leaders, together with the IDF, have lost the desire to defend Israel’s sovereignty and defeat its enemies.” A sad state of affairs indeed.
