Terrorist Outside My Window

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten shares how yesterday in Gush Etzion a knife-wielding terrorist, initially using his car as a weapon to try and ram into Israeli civilians and soldiers, was neutralized by Israeli security forces. Josh heard shots outside his window from just 50 meters away, and realized a security event was taking place. Thanks to alert security patrolmen, the terrorist, who was hoping to get out of his car and stab any Jew in sight after his failed ramming-attempt, didn’t get the chance.

Kick UNRWA Out

The UN Watch organization reports that a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) teachers in Gaza contained posts celebrating the October 7th massacre praising those responsible as “heroes.” The teachers patted themselves on the back for the “education” they gave their students who grew up to become mass murderers. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that Israel should once and for all throw UNRWA out of the country. Not only does UNRWA have a presence in Gaza, but they run Arab schools in Judea and Samaria, and in Jerusalem, just 10 minutes from the center of town. Bottom line – once and for all, UNRWA must go!

Hamas’ Psychological Warfare

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the psychological warfare and terrorism being utilized by Hamas during this current ceasefire. From forcing Israeli captives – women and children to smile and wave as they are being freed, to having them write letters praising their time in Gaza, as if they were away at summer camp. Hamas is doing everything in its power to gain world sympathy, while trying to convince the Israeli people that ceasefires should be extended. Their goal of course is to rearm and refuel, for the next round of fighting.

Former PM Barak Bashing Israel’s Government Abroad

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak took the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to task for not openly supporting the so-called anti-judicial (anti-government) protest movement. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Barak’s behavior, speaking (via Zoom) abroad against the government, is despicable and beyond the pale and could potentially turn young, impressionable American Jews against the State of Israel. This story and all the latest news from Israel are on this week’s podcast.

Terrorist Ambush Thwarted

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how Israel’s security forces thwarted a major Arab terrorist attack on Sunday, as special forces killed three members of a Jenin-area cell, on their way to murder Jews. Unfortunately, a day earlier, 42-year-old Chen Amir HY”D, a Tel Aviv security guard, was murdered by a terrorist in the line of duty. Amir died a hero, confronting the suspicious individual, sacrificing his own life, while saving countless others.
