Terrorism Near Tekoa
On Sunday, an Israeli man and his two daughters were wounded in a terrorist shooting just outside the Gush Etzion community of Tekoa. Prayers are needed for the full recovery of El-Roi Kapach (El-Roi Ben Batsheva), who was seriously wounded in the attack, and is in stable condition in a Jerusalem hospital, after undergoing surgery. The Arab terrorist who carried out the shooting was apprehended several hours later in the PA-controlled town of Bethlehem. Details on this attack and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
Biden Rips “Extreme” Israeli Government
In a CNN interview over the weekend, United States President Joe Biden ripped Israel’s current government as being “one of the most extreme cabinets I’ve seen…” Biden, ignoring recent terrorist attacks targeting Israel civilians and soldiers, instead essentially justified his decision not to invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a White House visit. At the same time, his administration increased funding for the United Nations UNRWA organization, despite the anti-Israel hate taught in the organization’s education system, and their use of Arab “refugees” and their descendants as pawns against the Jewish State.

Jew-Hatred in the Name of “Palestine”

Please listen to this very special interview on this week’s Israel Uncensored.
State Department Willing to Leave the Beach to Bash Israel
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.
Former PM Barak Calls for “Civil Rebellion”
This past Saturday night, Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak called on those attending protests against the government (under the guise of judicial reform), to move towards a civil rebellion. While claiming he is against violence, Barak clearly showed that he remains committed to trampling on Israel’s democracy, which elected the current government this past November. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, also hinted during an event celebrating Israel’s 75th birthday in modern times, that she opposes Israel’s judicial reform plan – an internal Israeli issue. These stories, plus all the latest news on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Why Did They Clap for Roger Waters?
Anti-Semite Roger Waters dressed as a Nazi SS officer at a concert in Berlin, Germany this past week, while also comparing Anne Frank, murdered in the Holocaust, to an Arab journalist accidentally killed last year in an IDF anti-terror operation. After watching the video of the Waters incident, Josh Hasten asks on this week’s Israel Uncensored, why did the crowd cheer following this stunt?

Headed back to Homesh
The IDF this week signed an order, which allows Israelis to go back to the site of Homesh, one of the four northern Samaria communities dismantled along with 21 Jewish communities in Gaza, as part of the 2005 so-called “Disengagement.” There is currently a yeshiva at the site, but there is now optimism that the move will lead to the rebuilding of the community. Perhaps this will also lead to the rebuilding of the other three northern Samaria communities? On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses what many believe to be a just decision, which took 18 years to carry out. The Biden Administration however, condemned the move. This story, plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s podcast.
Is the Biden Administration Funding Anti-Government Protests?
Media sources citing a leaked video say that Israel’s Justice Minister Yariv Levin has accused the U.S. State Department of funding anti-government protests. Until now only “unnamed officials” have made that claim. The leak comes as President Biden has yet to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House. However, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, had nothing but love for the Jewish State, during his Knesset address on Monday. All of this plus the latest news from Israel, including rockets fired at the south by terrorists from Gaza as the podcast was recorded, on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.
