Agreeing (Somewhat) with the Iranian Foreign Minister?

As Israel gears up for the visit of US President Joe Biden, Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that “the entry of foreigners in the region…will not create security and stability but itself is the main cause of tension and regional rift.” While Iran was most likely referring to a potential peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, on today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that when it comes to Israel and the PA, any outside intervention over the years has just made things worse. Whether it was the Oslo Accords, or other agreements in which Israel offered concessions to the PA (with pressure from outside parties), Israel ended up paying the price in blood. Josh says that Israel must stand firm and learn from past mistakes, and refuse concessions to the PA, which continues to offer “pay for slay,” and carries out daily incitement against the Jewish State.

A New Sheriff in Town (For Now)

Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid officially took over his post from PM Naftali Bennett over the weekend. In his first cabinet meeting Lapid said his goal was “to manage the government as if there are no elections,” referring to Israel’s upcoming November 1, Knesset elections. Will it be possible for the new PM to achieve this goal and effectively run the country, or will he be too busy making sure that his Yesh Atid faction does well when Israel goes to the polls after the high holidays? Josh Hasten discusses this story along with all the other headlines from Israel on this week’s “Israel Uncensored,” podcast.

Time to Bring our Boys Home

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a very important interview with Dr. Leah Goldin, whose son Hadar Goldin HY”D was killed by Hamas terrorists in 2014, and whose body remains in Hamas’ hands along with the body of IDF soldier Oron Shaul HY”D. Goldin says the Israeli government must demand a price from Hamas in order to bring back our boys along with the other two Israelis believed to be held by Hamas. She adds that Hamas is on the receiving end of millions of “humanitarian aid” dollars, but governments past and present have not done what is necessary to carry out the basic IDF tenant of – no soldier is left behind. More information can be found at www.hadargoldinfoundation.org, while at the same time the Goldin’s are calling on Jews around the world to not only to have the Goldin family in their “hearts” but in their “heads” in doing what they can to help bring Hadar home.

Exploiting the Death of a Journalist to Bash Israel

The Israel haters are out in full force, blaming the Jewish State for the death of Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh, despite the fact that she was most likely killed by PA gunmen in Jenin. Even if Israel accidentally killed the journalist, her death is being exploited as a propaganda tool like no other similar case before it. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses how Hollywood celebrities, and radical politicians from both the EU and US, are on board the Israel-bashing train. At the same time the IDF and other security forces are working around the clock to thwart Hamas and PA incited terrorism.

Terror Non-Stop

Another two terrorist attacks happened on Sunday night – in Jerusalem and Tekoa. In the former, an Israeli border police officer was moderately injured in a Jihadist stabbing – the terrorist was shot, while in the latter, an alert community first-response security volunteer liquidated the armed terrorist. These attacks come following the horrible Yom Ha’Azmaut massacre in which three Israelis were murdered in Elad. What steps will the government take to squash the Jihad? All of this plus the latest news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Another Murderous Jihadist Attack in Israel

On Friday night, Israel lost another hero, as 23-year-old Vyacheslav Golev HY”D was gunned down by Jihadist terrorists as he served as a guard at the entrance to the town of Ariel. Golev shielded his fiancee, whom he protected with his own body during the attack, saving her life. 15 Israelis have been murdered in terror attacks in Israel over the past five weeks. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that weakness leads to terror, and only through strength will those who seek to murder Israelis and destroy the Jewish State, cower.

Jews Banned from Temple Mount

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the rockets raining down on both northern and southern Israel, fired by the various Jihadist terror gangs. Those responsible blame recent tensions on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in which Israeli police were forced to deal with premeditated violence carried out by Muslim “worshipers” arriving at the site during Ramadan. However, instead of continuing to demonstrate a policy of strength, the Israeli government folded and banned Jewish worshipers from visiting Judaism’s holiest site until further notice. Josh argues that weakness only breeds more chaos, violence, and terror.

Deadly Terror Continues

On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that similar to the IDF’s 2002 operation in PA controlled towns, Israel must utilize full military force to wipe out the hornet’s nests of terror, starting with Jenin.

Ukraine’s President Goes After Israel

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh slams the Zoom Knesset address given yesterday by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky claimed Israel wasn’t doing enough to help his country, drew Holocaust comparisons between the current situation and Hitler’s plan to exterminate the Jewish People, and also ignored Ukrainian complicity during the Shoah. Josh said that’s it’s one thing to sympathize with the Ukrainians who are suffering under Russia’s bombardments and another to downplay Israel’s vast humanitarian efforts, compare what’s going on to the Holocaust, while ignoring Ukrainian atrocities during that period.
