Iran, Gaza, Ben, and Jerry

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the reimposition of sanctions by the Trump Administration against the Iranian regime. The move, which was applauded by Israeli PM Netanyahu, will further hamper Iran’s tentacles of terror around the world. Also, Israeli teens living near Gaza are marching to Jerusalem to raise awareness about life under almost daily rocket and kite terror. Finally, while Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in the US has created a new flavor to show support for several groups including a movement run by known anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, the Israeli branch of the ice-cream giant, has proven its moral compass is pointed in the right direction by saying it won’t be selling the controversial flavor.

From Pittsburgh to Gaza

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, we mourn the loss of 11 Jews who were murdered in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Shabbat morning. Josh describes how many on social media used this horrific hate crime as a cynical means to bash Israel, the Trump Administration, or anyone else under the sun, instead of focusing on the white-supremacist neo-Nazi who carried out the shooting. In reality, he says that anti-Semitism is a 3,000+ year-old phenomenon. At the same time, Israelis living on the Gaza border were also the target of terror/hate having to run for the shelters again this past Friday night as Hamas/Islamic Jihad terrorists fired over 30 rockets into Israeli communities. Josh says that Israel should be not enabling the terrorists in Gaza and halt the supply of aid, especially fuel which ends up being used to launch rockets and missiles against the Jewish State.

Lawless Bedouin Village Will Remain Intact

After nearly a decade, the saga of the illegal Bedouin village of Khan Al-Amar continues. Over the weekend Prime Minister Netanyahu delayed the evacuation of the illegal squatters’ colony adjacent to Highway One between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. He promised that one day it will be taken down, but now as a result of his capitulation to foreign remonstrators, when that will happen nobody knows. Joining Josh Hasten on this week’s Israel Uncensored, is Naomi Kahn the director of the international division of the Regavim Organization, a group committed to safeguarding Israel’s State Lands, to discuss this latest development on Khan Al-Amar.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh talks about his friend Ari Fuld HY”D who was murdered in a terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction yesterday.

The second part of the show is an interview Josh conducted with Ari just a few months ago, not knowing it would be the last time they would ever speak together on-air.

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Jason Greenblatt – Assistant to President Trump

On a very special edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an exclusive interview with Jason Greenblatt, Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations. Greenblatt discusses the approach his team is taking towards trying to forge a comprehensive peace deal between Israel and the Arabs living under the Palestinian Authority. He stresses that under any deal, the US would never jeopardize the security of the State of Israel and her residents. Don’t miss this important interview in which Greenblatt is adamant that the only true way to know what the Trump Administration is trying to accomplish in the Middle East, is to hear it from those individuals who are part of the team, and not from unreliable sources.

Shut Down UNRWA

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an exclusive interview with Dr. Einat Wilf, former member of Knesset, renowned author and leading intellectual. Dr. Wilf has been busy lately explaining why UNRWA should be shut down. The US State Department, in fact, announced over the weekend that they would stop funding UNRWA, which for 70 years has perpetuated the conflict between Israel and the Arab world. Wilf insists that we need a global campaign against the Arab propaganda which insists on the so-called “right of return,” which she explains doesn’t exist. Wilf doesn’t believe any Arab counties will step in and fund UNRWA as they are not interested in doing so, as they insist the “refugee” issue is a UN problem. In fact, those “refugees” Wilf explains don’t even exist as UNRWA has inflated their numbers tremendously by including children and grandchildren of “refugees” under the same umbrella.

Guns in the US vs. Guns in Israel

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses this past Sunday night’s deadly shooting attack at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. He says that despite today’s reality, the US still falls short when it comes to placing trained armed guards outside of crowded public gatherings. While Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan announced that more civilians in Israel, specifically thousands of ex-IDF infantry veterans, would qualify to receive weapons licenses, many in the US are advocating to get the guns off the streets. What can the US learn from Israel in this arena?
