The Nation of Israel was in mourning this week after burying 10 high-school students who were killed in a Judean Desert flash flood this past Thursday. In a country this tiny, the tragedy affected nearly everyone. But how does one explain this act of G-d, which tore apart 10 families? On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten in search for spiritual clarity and a way to cope, discusses this calamity with renowned educator Rabbi Natan Alexander. Rabbi Alexander says that he has never encountered another nation on earth, which comes together to offer such support to one another during times of immeasurable sorrow. In the second part of the program, after switching gears, Rav Natan talks about his online resource ravnatan.com, which is an educational tool helping to enhance family relationships in order to bring peace and passion to one’s life.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh shares his thoughts on Jewish/Israeli Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman’s decision to boycott Israel and not attend the prestigious 2018 Genesis Prize Award ceremony. While Portman initially thanked the prize committee for the honor, just several days ago she changed her mind, saying that she was unwilling to attend a ceremony where Prime Minister Netanyahu would be speaking since in her view it would look like she is endorsing him. In her ambiguous statement Portman also accuses Israel of carrying out “atrocities” which don’t align with her “Jewish values.” While perhaps unintended, radical anti-Israel and pro-BDS organizations are calling Portman’s cancellation a victory.

Over the weekend US President Trump fulfilled his promise of targeting Assad-regime chemical facilities in response to an attack on Syrian civilians. How will that move impact Israel? Joining Josh Hasten on this week’s edition of Israel Uncensored to discuss this question is Anna Ahronheim – Military and Defense Correspondent for The Jerusalem Post. Ahronheim also details the latest Hamas terror tunnel discovered by the IDF, which it destroyed. The tunnel, which led into Israeli territory, was reportedly the longest one yet.  Also, why has Anne Frank been in the news several times over the past few days?  Listen to this week’s show to find out.

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten interviews fellow Land of Israel host, and licensed Israeli tour guide Eve Harow. Eve details some of the amazing trips throughout Judea and Samaria she is leading this Passover via the One Israel Fund, an organization which strengthens Israeli communities throughout the country in many fields. Eve also weighs in on US President Trump’s appointment of John Bolton as the administration’s new National Security Advisor, saying that she believes that Bolton is the right man for the job.

On Sunday, as Israel was burying two of its soldiers murdered in a Friday car-ramming attack in the Shomron (Samaria), another Arab terrorist carried out a stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City, murdering an Israeli father of four. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses this latest evil and asks what the boiling point is of Israel’s leaders before taking more meaningful steps to weed out the terror carried out by those living under the PA.  Despite it all, Josh mentions that a new study shows that Israel once again, for two years running, is the 11th happiest country in the world. Nothing ironic, as life in the Jewish State he says remains beautiful.

On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an interview with Ruth Jaffe Lieberman founder of “The Yes! Israel Project,” an organization that brings top Congressional leaders to Israel. Lieberman says that despite push back over the years from the State Department, she brings top US officials to Israel and takes them on tours of areas anywhere in the country, including Judea and Samaria, so that they can see all the issues up close and personal and formulate opinions for themselves.

With a coalition crisis looming, and Prime Minister Netanyahu facing police questioning in numerous investigations, Caroline Glick, Senior Contributing Editor for the Jerusalem Post and renowned author, says that it would NOT be ironic for Likud to gain more seats if Israel goes to early elections. Glick explains that the Israeli public sees through the attacks being carried out against the Prime Minister and the “right” by the judiciary, media, etc. and thus as time goes on, continues to voice support for the PM and his party.  Glick also discusses the Prime Minister’s current visit to Washington where he is speaking at the AIPAC Policy Conference and meeting with US President Donald Trump. She says that “Iran,” and its belligerency in the Middle East will be the focus of the talks between the two world leaders.

While the graves of several Israelis murdered in recent Jihadist terror attacks are still fresh, it turns out that members of Israel’s ‘right wing’ government have been holding meetings with top-level Palestinian Authority officials. In the most recent gathering, last week Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon met with PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten asks, ‘why is it moral for these meetings to take place with an entity that incites against Israel and the Jewish People on a daily basis?’ He says that when ‘left wing’ MK’s meet with top PA officials, there is criticism directed their way by the ‘right,’ so Josh argues that it would be hypocritical not to take the current government to task for holding similar meetings.

Following the horrific shooting massacre at a Florida high school this week, many in the US are turning to Israel to see how this country has been nearly immune from school shootings. Is it because of Israel’s strict guns laws, or perhaps because Israel stations armed guards outside of its schools and other public areas? Maybe its a bit of both? On today’s Israel Uncensored Josh Hasten is joined by leading Israeli TV news personality Lital Shemesh and Daniel Seaman, the English editor of MIDA online magazine, to discuss this heated issue.
