Gearing up for Trump’s “Deal of the Century”

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an exclusive interview with Ambassador Yoram Ettinger, Israel’s Former Minister for Congressional Affairs in Washington and expert on US/Israel relations. Ettinger is concerned that the authors of the Trump plan might have ignored what he says is the violent nature of the Middle East, particularly in regard to the stability of Israel’s Eastern border, when putting together the proposal (based on expected details of the plan). At the same time while Ettinger praises the unique current US/Israel relationship under the Trump administration, he says that we don’t know what the future will look like come January 21, 2021, if a new US president is sworn into office.

Iran is Scared

Why Did the Monsey Stabbing Happen?

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh tackles the horrible Monsey stabbing, where a machete-wielding hater of the Jews attacked a Hanukkah lighting ceremony in Monsey, NY this past Saturday night. Josh says that those who continue to ask “why” this attack and the many other anti-Semitic attacks are happening, need to wake up to the reality that if you are a Jew you are a target. Josh says that communal Jewish leaders, Rabbis, and others who host public gatherings within the Jewish community are negligent if they don’t provide adequate security in this day and age.

Gaza Terrorists Tried to Ruin Youth Group Celebration

As thousands of Israeli kids from the Bnei Akiva religious Zionist youth movement were celebrating the culmination of a month-long period of festive activities, Hamas tried to ruin the party by firing rockets at the southern town of Sderot. The Sderot youth who gathered for their event were shaken but not defeated as they sang “the eternal nation is not afraid of a long journey.” The message was clear – the Jews have been targeted by her enemies for thousands of years, but we’re finally home, and not going anywhere. Josh discusses this story and everything else in the news from Israel on this week’s edition of “Israel Uncensored.”

New Neighborhoods and Neutralized Terrorists

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh jumps from topic to topic in a week which saw the announcement of a new Jewish neighborhood in Hebron, while IDF forces neutralized a terror cell in that same area, which had been making a habit of trying to murder Israeli motorists on the roads. Also, did you realize that 2,600 rockets have been fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza in the past two years alone? Someone is keeping score, but will someone finally do what it takes to stop the rockets? All of this and much more on today’s show.
