Eve Harow speaks with archaeologist Adi Shragai about the ongoing destruction of heritage sites in Judea and Samaria by the Palestinian Authority and antiquity thieves. As Activity Coordinator for the organization Shomrim al HaNetzach, Adi explains how they’re striving to galvanize awareness of both politicians and the public to the dangers lurking to these irreplaceable places. UNESCO is about to declare Ancient Jericho a ‘Palestinian heritage site’ which is absurd on so many levels. Joshua’s Altar on Mount Eival is threatened with immediate demolition by the PA. The list is long and the awareness and interest not great but there are some positive developments that keep Adi optimistic. Eve, not so much.

On today's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a look at the riots which took place in south Tel Aviv over the weekend, in which groups of Eritreans with different political views violently attacked each other and the police. A statement from the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu's office announced they will "convene a special ministerial team to examine measures to be taken against illegal infiltrators who took part in the disturbances, including steps toward deportation." However Josh says that it is unlikely that deportations, justified as they are, will take place. He argues that Israel refuses to deport Arab terrorists or their families, and therefore sadly will most likely not take necessary action in this case as well.

Eve Harow speaks with David Curwin on his search for the story inherent in the Book of Ecclesiastes/Kohelet that led to his newly published book on the topic. How does the soul searching of King Solomon parallel in some ways to Adam’s life? We often misinterpret the meanings of words- what’s called etymological fallacy and also look at Biblical stories in a literal way and not at the literary context and message. A fresh look at a complicated ‘Megilla’ and even our relationship with God. Enjoy this unique thinker and the power of the Hebrew language.

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.

Ki Teitzei: This Fellowship session Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel started by seeking to understand what it means to truly "fear" God. Is it the conventional understanding here, or does the Torah teach us that Hashem seeks a different type of fear? Then they spoke about whether we should seek to understand the commandments or resign ourselves to the truth that we can never truly understand Hashems will.

Then: Rabbi Shimshon Nadel on army conscription for the ultra-Orthodox and Ben Bresky on the story of the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem.

When you’re confused, enraged and not a little sad whom do you call? A brilliant analyst, of course. David Wurmser(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wurmser) was the perfect choice to calm Eve’s stormy state of mind in the aftermath of the recent terror attack that killed a young mother in front of her daughter. It turns out that there are basic ideas that we have forgotten or are afraid to apply. There are always external threats to human beings’ existence. You cannot unilaterally exit a war and expect to survive. Elites in societies are not always of the same genre. There is dehumanization and danger when paganism replaces God. What defines a soul? Listen in to hear why Rome wasn’t built or annihilated in a day, but ultimately did self destruct. The Western world is in a precarious place. How does Israel fit in?

On this week's Israel Uncensored, Josh discusses the terrorist attack over the weekend, in which a Jewish father and son were murdered - gunned down in the Arab village of Huwara in Samaria. Security forces remain in pursuit of the terrorist. At the same time, the EU demonstrated the ultimate chutzpah, calling on Israel to offer compensation, after Civil Administration officials destroyed an illegal EU-funded PA school. Josh says that the EU officials, who arrive in Israel, build illegally in an attempt to take over Israeli State land, and then have the gall to ask for compensation, should be sent packing. These stories and all the latest news from Israel, on this week's podcast. Photo Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IDF_activity_during_the_2023_Huwara_shooting,_February_2023_I.jpeg

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu slammed reports of a potential US-Iran deal, in which Tehran would receive billions of dollars in frozen assets in exchange for the release of five US prisoners. On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that once again the Biden Administration is showing weakness, akin to someone paying off the mob for "promises" of quiet. As Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons and export terrorism all over the world, Josh says that Israel should be very concerned if this deal is signed.
