Israel Uncensored: PA Arabs Planning "Popular Uprising"

- hastened here Israel uncensored on a land of Israel network at the Land of Israel calm it is Monday the 10th of June 2019 seventh of seven five seven seven nine it is is true cloud shadow work today after Sheva what hope everyone out there had a wonderful holiday wonderful hug actually in the United States and around the world anywhere outside of Israel today is also Sheva would today's the second day of the hog so perhaps you will be listening to this podcast on Tuesday for those of you who are celebrating hope you're doing well I'm get in touch with me during the week Joshua at the Land of Israel calm on Facebook it's Joshua hastin check out my page Josh hastin Israel advocacy and journalism on Twitter at Josh hastin and on Instagram as well last week I did not do a show I was traveling so I apologize for not being on the air last week and since it's been a while we are going to get caught up on everything going on here in the news from Israel and the Middle East top story on today's front page of The Jerusalem Post Palestinian Authority slams Freedman that's David Friedman ambassador Friedman after remark that Israel has right to annex parts of what they call the West Bank Palestinian Authority as well as anti settlement groups such as peace now and J Street called for US ambassador to Israel David Friedman to be fired for saying that Israel has the right to annex parts of the West Bank Judea and Samaria Friedman's remarks came in an interview with the New York Times on Friday he said the following quote under certain circumstances I think Israel has the right to retain some but unlikely all of the West Bank so that's his statement the past authority J Street many others slamming Friedman for saying that he believes Israel has a right to retain some of Judea and Samaria so on one hand it's positive that Israel according to Friedman has the right to retain some of the land which we re acquired in the defense of war of survival fifty two years ago this month on the other hand he says it's unlikely all of the land will be retained by Israel so a little bit of a mixed message I have mixed feelings on his statement because it is my belief that all of Judea and Samaria should be under Israeli control I do not like these hints indicating perhaps that Israel will be pressured to give away parts of Judea and Samaria this could mean more Jews being thrown out of their homes so this is a little bit troubling of a statement from ambassador Friedman that being said the other side the Palestinian Authority and all those who side with them including J Street and peace now or whatnot they're upset by any mention of Israel's right to annex any part of Judea and Samaria they're not in favor of any Jews in Judea that's their policy that's that's what they believe they believe in a udin Ryan state a state without Jews they think somehow that is just they think that Jews do not belong in Judea so that's really that's been the top story over the last I guess 24 hours here in Israel Friedman also slammed the Obama administration which allowed the passage of a UN Security Council resolution in its waning days of office in 2016 that characterized the so-called settlements as a flagrant violation of international law Friedman saying this gave credence to Palestinian arguments that the entire West Bank and East Jerusalem belong to that so again he is saying that not all of those areas belong to them but then again let's remember he says it here certainly quote certainly Israel is entitled to retain some portion of it according to Freedman so some not all makes mixed feelings here mixed feelings on this statement but then again I'm hopeful that Israeli leaders our leadership will be the ones who determine what the fate will be of the communities in Judea and Samaria and the entire area of Judea and Samaria I understand the US is very much invested in this and we'll see if any plan comes forward in light of the fact that Israel once again is going back to elections but multiple II I wish that our leaders would be stronger in stating their case and explaining that this is our decision to make hopefully that decision will be annexing all of the Judea and Samaria but nevertheless of course very influential their team Trump and until now let's be clear they've done everything right until now let's see what happens as we go forward Friedman also had harsh words for the Palestinian Authority for what he said was their attempt to sabotage the upcoming economic workshop in Bahrain he said it's unfair the way Palestinians have described this as a bribe or as an attempt to buy off their national aspirations it's not at all it's an attempt to give life to their aspirations by creating a viable economy he said that were it not for massive pressure and intimidation from the PA Palestinian businesspeople would attend the conference so apparently this conference in Bahrain is still going forward from what I saw this morning Israel hasn't even Israel hasn't officially been invited apparently they're waiting for other Arab countries to confirm their participation but PA business people will be for the most part staying at home are some that are going but fro but overall the PA is basically insisting that they that nobody under their control take part in this Bahrain conference now at the same time the J post reports Palestinians planning popular uprising against Trump's plan palestinian said on sunday so-called palestinians that they are planning a popular uprising later this month to protest US president donald trump's upcoming plan for peace in the Middle East protests scheduled for June 25th and 26th will coincide with the launching of the workshop in Bahrain where the u.s. administration's plans Yodas US administration plans to unveil the economic portion of its long-awaited peace deal the PA leadership has called on Palestinians and Arabs to boycott the Bahrain conference now what is troubling by this statement is the words are the words puppet popular uprising because what does that usually mean that usually means terrorism that usually means violence so the u.s. let me get this straight the u.s. is having an economic workshop in Bahrain and the Palestinian Authority is talking about popular uprising which means violence so where is that violence going to be directed against who is that violence going to be directed against who's going to be the recipient of that violence or terror if in fact people listen to this Israel and that's what scares me it's not like they're going to be protesting in Washington DC when things like this happen when other countries make declarations the PA takes to the streets against Israel and I'm not saying they should go protest in Washington either the same PA which rejected any offer of statehood or any offer that Israel's put together over the years always rejecting anything put forward but nevertheless they are turning against Israel in this so-called popular uprising because of a US policy so that's our mind as well nevertheless we need to be prepared here in Israel because popular uprising indicates indicates the use of terror and violence against Israeli men women and children god forbid but we need to be prepared for anything that will be unleashed by the PA and certainly Hamas as a result of a u.s. suggested us plan that is the irony of it a speaking of terror attacks Israel national news reports this morning that May 2019 was the deadliest month in nearly two years terror attacks on Israelis tripled in May even while attacks in Judea and Samaria decreased 449 incidents in May compared to 126 in April a lot of that as a result of the launching hundreds of rockets from Gaza into Israel just last month man time flies but I mean it was only it was only just last month for people for Israelis killed and others wounded in a wave of rocket attacks in May two others stabbed in Jerusalem's who Israeli stabbed in Jerusalem terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria meanwhile decreased by 43 percent from 88 to 50 but how many people actually know that this is our reality the month of May there were 50 terror attacks in Judea and Samaria 55 0 whether that's fire bomb attacks Iraq attacks or attempted who knows what 50 attacks just in this region alone this past May and that's an improvement from April which is also mind-boggling at the same time Hebrew University is at it again I always say stay classy Hebrew University in Jerusalem some 20 scientists as reported here by The Jerusalem Post and an Israeli professor wrote an open letter to the organizers of the 2019 international physics Olympiad against holding its July competition in Israel so you here you have a Hebrew University apparently he's retired but his information I guess is still on the Hebrew University website professor emeritus Emanuel drawer far June of the Einstein Institute of math at Hebrew University in Jerusalem signing a letter calling on the organizers of this physics competition not to come to Israel to boycott Israel an israeli professor wanting these physics people to boycott israel the i ph o is the premier international physics competition for high school students includes competitors from 80 countries and here you have a hebrew university professor who's aligning himself with the BDS israel haters and kur trying to encourage these students to boycott the state of israel Matan Peleg CEO of the zionist organization in fear to express concern about professor freshman's signature on such a letter saying while tremendous amounts of resources are invested in israel throughout the world to combat international BDS there are professors at hebrew you undermining these efforts by promoting BDS from within Alec told The Jerusalem Post he said is it is disgraceful that Hebrew U which is supposed to be a beacon of academic light has become a political incubator of anti Zionist professors who devote their lives to attacking the State of Israel pretty sad pretty terrible this is coming out of Hebrew you know we talked about the situation on campus in the US for Jewish students scientists supporters but we have this here in Israel as well the post the J post points out that earlier this month Hebrew University professor emiram Goldblum called pro-israel student activists quote Nazi dogs and threatened to prevent them from gain accepted to advanced degrees this is a hebrew university professor referring to pro-israel activist students as nazis nazi dogs unbelievable stuff they're out of Hebrew University and this is not the first time that we've seen this type of these type of controversies initiated by professors at that institution pretty sad indeed turning to politics now we are once again Believe It or Not in an election cycle here in Israel September 13th I believe will be Israel's next election for the what is it the 22nd Knesset after the 21st Knesset folded with Prime Minister Netanyahu unable to form a coalition government Australia I um this morning reports that senior blue and white official members you're talking about Bennigan's and your Lapita and the rest they have they have analyzed results of the last election was just a few months ago expressing disappointment with the party's failure to make significant inroads with with right-leaning voters so blue and white is reportedly planning on shifting its campaign to the right emphasizing candidates with security credentials likely to appeal to center-right voters because as they say in an election here in Israel the top priority is security so here you have blue and white party candidate yo Oz Hendel he's a journalist security expert raised in Elkanah which is in Samaria the Sham run they are planning on I guess putting him at the forefront of the campaign trying to try to encourage those who consider themselves to be right of center or right leaning to vote for the blue and white party the strategy in the last election was which almost almost worked was anybody but Netanyahu and the blue and white got over a million votes yet unable to form a coalition not enough because the Israeli public is not it's not left-leaning these days even though here they claim that they are now there they're going to be claiming that they are not a left-wing party but Netanyahu of course Prime Minister Netanyahu is stressing time and time again that they are really a left-wing party nevertheless I think this is probably a smart strategy as opposed to their attempts to smear Netanyahu and have that be at the forefront during the last election campaign but time will tell if that in fact works with the voters if more so-called right-leaning voters will in fact give blue and white a chance and we're way way off with this next election I mean September is anything can happen I mean we saw this past election and the one before it go down to the very last day or two and Netanyahu the political genius whether you like him or don't like him and sometimes I do like him and sometimes I am not crazy about his policies nevertheless he is a political master no doubt about it pulling it off at the last minute as he did in this past election and the one before it four years ago so we shall see what happens moving on to other news J&S reports friends of the IDF donate 60 thousand dollars to rebuild a synagogue destroyed by Hamas F IDF supporters Fred and Jeanette Bogart Boca Raton Florida and New York donated 60,000 dollars to rebuild a synagogue on the IDF's Key Sufi base home to the 414 Nature field intelligence battalion and other infantry units the synagogue along with the Torah scroll used by soldiers was destroyed by Hamas rocket in early May in a barrage of fire into Israel that as we said before caused the deaths of four civilians so here you have a very generous couple in the US who will help rebuild a synagogue destroy by Hamas I did not see this synagogue destruction brought up at any relevant United Nations gathering or meeting the fact that Hamas uses mosques and schools to to fire their weapons and target Israeli men women and children and here hitting a religious site a synagogue I didn't see this brought up by anybody in the in the social media world or on uh or I didn't let's see the UN go crazy about this I mean God forbid they should do so imagine if this was reversed and Israel even if it was a self-defense measure targeted a mosque where terrorists were hiding and the mosque had damage it would be top story no doubt on all the international news channels but this is the first time I'm seeing this here in fact I wasn't even aware that this synagogue was destroyed so I guess that just shows you where the the media is the mainstream media is and all this you know thanks to Janus reporting this out and thank you of course to the family who's donating the money to rebuild the synagogue we're gonna finish up with two sports stories here out of Israel two great stories Israel's Dudi Sela won the inaugural Little Rock open in Arkansas on Sunday marking his first tournament win in two years he's making a comeback from a long-term back injury sella who's 34 years old defeated a South Korean player the Little Rock open a new tournament is an ATP Challenger Tour event and marks Seles 23rd competition win he was ranked 208 in the world he now is up to 160 so come back for one of Israel's best tennis players ever do the sella this is great news in 2017 he reached the fourth round of Wimbledon for the second time and he was ranked as high as 29th in the world hopefully he'll get back up there in the in the process of his comeback now that it seems that he is healed from his injury also one other sports story eight-year-old Israeli or shot eel wins second place in the European Chess Championship this is amazing stuff eight-year-old chess prodigy oral or shot eel won second place in the European School Chess Championships which took place in Romania that press release reported on Sunday he defeated a player from Azerbaijan who was undefeated at that point or should I feel this is this is a young girl by the way eight years old she was able to do so playing the black giving her rival a slight edge it's the player who uses white pieces gets to open the game and make the first move this is a great story second place in Europe an eight-year-old Israeli girl and we should continue to have more success whether it's in tennis or in chess or in judo or in any other sport around the world representing Israel proudly and of course unfortunately but as is the case in many of many of the sports are seeing it in judo and others Israeli players according to this report here by the J post must at times face discrimination when matches are held in countries which are hostile to the Jewish state or when players come from places like Iran and refused to play against Israelis we've seen this before and other international competitions and that is the case with chess as well but let's not that let's not let that get in the way of an eight-year-old Israeli young girl winning second place in the European Chess Championship so that is a summary a recap of the news here on Israel uncensored on Delana visit or network at the land of israel calm it has been a while since we have spoken my name is Josh hastin and it is Monday the 10th of June 2019 the seventh of seven five seven seven nine just a day after Sheva watt in

there is a whole world of the nations that are a part of this process and they are being refined just as well and they are going against the grain with the rise of anti-semitism it's going to get harder and harder to stem and there's no running away from it either I mean there's nothing greater than living as a Jew especially in our world today where we see the in gathering of the exiles from
