Josh Hasten live on ILTV from the Jerusalem Day flag parade. After 2,000 years we Jews are finally home in our eternal capital, and there is nothing wrong with marching in the streets throughout the city to show our happiness.
Josh Hasten spoke on i24NEWS about Jerusalem Day Flag March.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses yesterday’s annual Jerusalem Day flag march through the city in which tens of thousands celebrated the 1967 liberation of Israel’s capital. Many headlines this morning focused on the minor cases of violence between Jews and Arabs and not on the fact that overwhelmingly, the parade was held without major incidents, but rather with celebration and joy through song and dance.

Thousands of Arab protesters have been violently rioting on the Temple Mount (known by Muslims as Haram al-Sharif) throughout the “Jerusalem Day” holiday and over the course of the last several days, accusing Israel of attempting to “storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque” and “Judaize” the entire city. Hundreds of rioters have been injured, along with dozens of Israeli police and security personnel.
As Israelis are celebrating Jerusalem Day marking 54 years since the city was reunited along with the Jewish return to Judea, Samaria, the Golan and other areas, Muslim Jihadists have turned parts of Jerusalem into a warzone with violent riots. Unfortunately, this morning it was announced that Jews would not be allowed to visit the Temple Mount today. On today’s show, an analysis from Dan Diker, Project Director for the Program to Counter Political Warfare and BDS at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs on why the violence and terror is taking place.
