Israelis woke up on Monday to the horrible news that the lifeless body of 52-year-old Esther Horgen, a mother of six from the community of Tel Menashe in Samaria, was found at around 2 a.m. in a forest near her home after she went for a power walk on Sunday afternoon and never returned. Her husband, Benjamin, alerted security officials when she didn’t make it back.

Josh Hasten appeared on i24NEWS English last night about Israel applying sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria. It didn’t happen on July 1, but let’s see what happens here in the next few days/weeks.
As predicted by the Biblical commentator Rashi centuries ago, Israel this week was accused by a European Union leader of violating the Seventh Commandment of “Thou shalt not steal,” because of the current plan to apply sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria. But as the famous commentary suggests, the Bible begins by describing how G-d created the world in order to show that he gave out all of the lands on earth as he saw fit – giving the Land of Israel, including Judea and Samaria, to the Jewish people. Listen to today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, and hear for yourselves, how the ancient text comes to life in our times with outside forces accusing the Jews of being thieves and bandits in our own land.
