Israel Declares Six PA “Human Rights” NGO’s Terror Organizations

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz this week declared six so-called PA Arab “human rights” NGO’s to be linked to PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terror organizations. One would think that such a declaration would cause the world community to condemn these NGO’s, yet Israel is being raked over the coals for making such claims by everyone from the State Department, to other so-called human rights groups, and even some current Israeli government ministers. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that it’s insane how these branches of terror are being praised, while Israel is being condemned for making the declarations.

BDS Supporters Find a Home at Netflix

The pro-Israel watchdog organization Im Tirtzu says that the vast majority of films featured in Netflix’s new “Palestinian Stories” collection were directed by BDS supporters. Not only did anti-Israel haters direct these movies, but according to a statement from the organization the films portray a biased depiction of the conflict between Israel and her neighbors while glorifying terrorism. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that there is a difference between freedom of artistic expression and showcasing content which incites to violence and praises terror. This story plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.

Limiting Jewish Prayer on the Temple Mount

A Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court this past week ruled that Jews can pray, albeit quietly, on the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. However, police backed by Minister of Internal Security Omer Bar-Lev (Labor) are against Jewish prayer there claiming it will ignite tensions. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that not allowing Jews to pray on the Temple Mount is discriminatory and shows weakness, which is seized upon by our enemies here in the Middle East.

Iron Dome Isn’t an Excuse to Let Hamas Off the Hook

Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system has been in the news over the past several weeks as radical members of Congress tried to de-fund the project. While Congress ultimately approved a bill to finance the Iron Dome, on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that with or without Iron Dome, Israel must respond harshly to every rocket fired, regardless if the system successfully shoots the projectiles out of the air. He argues that Iron Dome’s efficiency should not be a factor for Israel in doing everything possible to prevent Israeli children from having to run to the shelters. The bottom line is that one rocket is one too many, and the terrorists must pay a heavy price, which will deter them from firing.

Lapid’s Misguided Gaza Strategy

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid laid out his strategy for the future of Gaza at a conference on terrorism yesterday. His plan – to defeat Hamas through economic improvements and through diplomacy. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that Lapid has it completely backwards. Instead of easing conditions in Gaza, which the residents there would then credit Hamas for accomplishing, Israel should create a reality in which Gazans want to see the terror group Hamas dethroned and out of their lives completely. This story plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.

The Jihad Feeds Off Weakness

From Kabul to Gaza, and all places in-between, whenever the West displays weakness, the Jihad swoops in. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, and how that new reality mirrors the Hamas takeover of Gaza when Israel pulled out in 2005. With Hamas threatening more violence if their cash demands are not met, Josh says the only way to deal with Jihdist terror groups is through strength.

FM Claims Israel’s Bad PR Causes Anti-Semitism

On Sunday, Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid claimed that Israel’s failed PR policies are partially to blame for the biggest rise in anti-Semitism since World War II. Josh Hasten, on this week’s edition of “Israel Uncensored,” said that Lapid’s comments were ridiculous, and Israel’s Foreign Minister shouldn’t be making excuses (especially using self-blame) for Jew-hatred, a 4,000 year old phenomena. While Israel’s PR efforts might need an overhaul, Hasten argued that there was no correlation between the anti-Semites’ hatred, and the way Israel presents itself.

Can Jews Pray on the Temple Mount?

Over 1,600 Jews ascended The Temple Mount on Sunday, Tisha B’av to mourn the destruction of both Temples, and show their yearning for the construction of the Third Temple. Some groups were attacked by Arabs, while others were forced off the Mount after singing Hatikva, Israel’s national anthem. A statement released by Prime Minister Bennett on Sunday indicated that Jewish prayer should be allowed at Judaism’s holiest site, yet that statement was walked back this morning, indicating that the “status quo” remains in effect. In other words, Muslims can pray up there, but Jews can not. This story, plus all the latest news from Israel, on today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Can We Trust the UN to Oversee Gaza Funding?

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the UN has agreed to distribute Qatari funds to the people of Gaza, in order that the money isn’t diverted to Hamas’ terror arsenal. Can Israel rely on the UN, the same body which turns a blind eye to the Hezbollah arms build up in Lebanon, whose UNHRC condemns Israel each and every time it meets, and whose UNRWA supplies Arab students with textbooks full of anti-Israel hate? On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh predicts that at the end of the day, the money will no doubt end up in Hamas’s coffers.
