Israel Uncensored: When Jews Honor Hamas Terrorists

Josh hastened here Israel uncensored and Land of Israel network at the Land of Israel calm it is Sunday night May 20th 2018 the sixth of seven five seven seven eight just concluded the holiday of Shavuot wonderful beautiful holiday here in Israel hope you're doing well in your part of the world by the time you hear this broadcast perhaps for those who are celebrating two days outside of the Land of Israel who are now listening to the show hope you also had a wonderful holiday other than the crazy Heat we had here in Israel over the weekend the holiday itself was it was a beautiful beautiful experience celebrating God's giving of the Torah to the Jewish people giving of the Torah to the world really and couldn't pick a better place to do it to celebrate this holiday than here in Judea Israel you can get in touch with me during the week Josh at the Land of Israel calm on Facebook it's Joshua hastin and on Twitter at Josh hastin now since the holiday just finished there are some stories in the news of course it's not a crazy news evening here in Israel it's always like that here Sunday's are always the slowest days and they should always be slow but usually Sunday's and right after holidays here not a crazy amount of activity thank God of course last week was a very busy week the last show that we had recorded on Monday was from the event hosted by the Yesha council the communities representing Judea and Samaria the leaders of those communities and we talked about the US Embassy moving and that of course happened last week a very festive event and we spent a lot of time last week talking about the Gaza situation where the Hamas terrorists on Monday gathered at the border about 40,000 people tried to infiltrate into Israel and the IDF did what it had to do and then killed a bunch of those who try to infiltrate later of course if you're just in on this story Hamas themselves admitted that I think 50 at least 50 of those who try to infiltrate Israel were actually Hamas operatives terrorists of course and so that was the the biggest those were the biggest stories last week and there's still some backlash if you will as a result of that Gaza situation and we'll get to that in a second but one thing I want to point out a lot of commentators in the various publications over the weekend the Jerusalem Post and whatnot they made a great point the world and many accused Israel of course of carrying out crimes against humanity in our self-defense because of the fact that 60 plus Hamas members and others terrorists try to infiltrate Israel but imagine what would happen how many of them how many of them would have been killed if let's say a thousand got into Israel and the IDF had to kill all 1,000 so in other words the numbers are actually very low and it just shows you that Israel does what it can to avoid casualties and only shoots to kill when it is necessary if a thousand or 500 or several hundred got close to an Israeli community the idea of would have no choice but to do what is necessary to protect the community as in kill all of those people so those who are complaining and accusing Israel of all these horrible horrible massacres and crimes against humanity imagine how many more dead would it have been would there have been if in fact they got through and one of the the worst faults of the mainstream media and I saw many many interviews like this whether it's the BBC or CNN and others interviewing somebody representing the State of Israel essentially complaining that this is a disproportionate response by Israel because no IDF soldiers were wounded or hurt or killed or anything like that of course the Warped moral compass of those who most likely hoping for Jewish deaths for Israeli deaths but claiming that it has to do with the proportionate response so the the analogy I guess used which is the most appropriate is if somebody was coming to rob your house and the police were there to fight off that person would you then hand that robber that criminal more weapons in a gunfight with police to make it a fair fight I think those types of analogies are probably the best to describe the reality of the situation even though oftentimes the mainstream media just wants to see dead Jews are dead Israelis because of their hate not everybody because of their hate for this country I think they'd be happier if some god forbid soldiers IDF soldiers were killed and that way they could be satisfied with the situation just a little bit as a result but anyway the UN Human Rights Council of course on Friday as a result of Israel's self-defense measures in Gaza in Gaza that's not how they spin it of course voted to establish an investigation into Israel's killing of Palestinians reading here from The Times of Israel the council voted 29 in favor 2 against 14 countries abstaining the two who voted against Australia and the United States want to thank the US and Australia for doing the right thing just because you're in the minority doesn't mean you didn't do the right thing so those two countries at the UN so-called Human Rights Council of course the UN Human Human Rights Council a big joke appointing all different types of rogue and totalitarian regimes and their leaders to seats on the council whether it's I don't know Syria and Iran and all these other countries with questionable to put it mildly human human rights rights records they're the ones calling the shots over there at the UN HRC so it's not surprising that they passed this resolution to hear a quote calling out Israel for the disproportionate and discriminate use of force by the Israeli what they call occupying forces against Palestinian civilians we're never going to get a fair shot over there and out in the near future but more countries and our Prime Minister's pointed this out time and time again abstaining or voting on our side in different UN bodies but yet with the majority being countries with extremely questionable rights records themselves voting against Israel it's not surprising in response Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Dino unreported by the J post condemned the UN Human Rights Council after to prove this decision he said quote the fact that the shameful decision was made even even after Hamas officials admitted that the vast majority of those killed were terrorists proves once again that nothing can separate this council from its hatred of Israel according to a statement by Israel's ambassador to the UN and unknown US ambassador to the UN nikki Haley of course the rock star the probably the most popular politician u.s. politician here in Israel I mean anytime meant you mentioned nikki Haley people just start clapping wherever you are she also issued a strongly worded rebuke of the UN HRC saying quote at a time when Venezuela lurches towards dictatorship Iran in prisons thousands of political opponents and ethnic cleansing has taken place in Burma the UN's so-called this is great so-called human rights councils decided to launch an investigation into a democratic countries legitimate defense of its own border against terror attacks it's another shameful day for human rights so thank you Nikki nikki Haley thank you us thank you Australia and those who stand with the Jewish state of Israel knowing full well that Israel is just out to protect themselves if the Hamas members would go home then the idea of soldiers would go home but if the IDF soldiers went home first Hamas would infiltrate Israel and as their stated goal would try to kill any Jews who they encounter here in Israel and of course communities being just a kilometre or even less away from the border with Gaza and as a result of the story you had a video circulating wasn't the first of its kind on social media over the last few days of so-called and this is a fringe group here let's not paint a picture this is in the majority or a mainstream or anything like that Jewish groups in England and I saw a similar video I think a couple weeks ago in New York a Jewish group gathering to say Kaddish the mourners prayer in memory over the Hamas terrorists and it doesn't get any sicker than that and then in the video you have a couple reasonable individuals I would call them strongly condemning those who are saying Kaddish the mourner prayer for Hamas again not the first time that had happened at the same time you had the bit Sol L Institute of Arts here in Israel one of the students there created some type of art project in memory of those killed in Gaza Hamas members also appalling and I suggest the government should defund but Sawa as a result of allowing this type of display in their school they claimed it wasn't us it was a student freedom of speech bla bla bla but freedom of speech has its limits and when you praise Hamas terrorists let's remember how many Hamas suicide bombers carried out attacks against Jews just a decade or so ago and how many Jews were murdered at the hands of Hamas so don't give me this freedom of speech the government should defund it solo and those organizations and schools and institutions that turn the other cheek so to speak when it comes to praising those who carry out murderous attacks against the Jews of Israel another video I saw this was amazing was in Tel Aviv where a group of Jews in Tel Aviv decided to scribble the names of those who were killed in Gaza in chalk I believe somewhere on the on the cement that some very popular I don't know if it was Key Caribbean in Tel Aviv are some popular thoroughfare there and of all people along comes an Arab Israeli in Israeli Arab who served in the IDF and there's a video that went viral I saw on Facebook and this Arab condemns the Jews for supporting a terror organization and he says time and time again you are showing your support for Hamas and they're yelling at him and he's like I served my country I was in the Army I'm a proud Israeli citizen and you're Jewish and this is how you act again let's be clear here this is a fringe group that is doing this it's a fringe group in England and in New York that are saying Kaddish the morning prayer from us but it was ironic that it was an Arab who was calling them out for being so despicable and at the same time The Times of Israel reports that over the weekend several Jewish parents expressed outrage after children at a New York City School were instructed to observe a moment of silence for dozens of Palestinians killed during clashes along the Gaza border reported by The Times of Israel this was at the Beacon High School in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan apparently a student got on the PA system and instructed out instructed fellow students to observe a moment of silence for those Hamas members and the others who were killed and their friends who were killed there in Gaza and some of the parents extremely upset by this no comment according to the New York Post I think who originally reported this story no comment by the principal on what happened but several Jewish organizations condemning this school for allowing such a thing to take place there in New York City of course the administration there in Turkey they are not shy about their hatred of Israel and accusing Israel of crimes against humanity comparing Turkish president erred to one on Friday comparing the action of the actions of Israelis near Gaza idea of troops to Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews in world war two of course making that comparison arid or erawan he said the following at a gathering there in Turkey at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation he said quote the children of those being subject to all sorts of torture and concentration camps during World War two are now attacking Palestinians with meth methods that would put Nazis to shame this is our friend right era Diwan remember when Israel tried to repair relations with air Dewan and hang Turkey for those terrorists on the flotilla back in what was it 2011 I believe when they attacked IDF soldiers on that Turkish flotilla and in Israel apologized and paid millions of dollars to Turkey and reparations in order to repair the relationship I still to those Tilda's they don't understand why Israel would pay Turkey knowing that these were terrorists that came over on that flotilla and that's on how you run the show here in the Middle East showing weakness by saying you're sorry especially when these were terrorists who came over to murder Israelis but here you have I guess the fruit of that that payment and in other words and what I'm saying is that we didn't reap any benefit with here still till this day air Dewan the Hamas supporter the head of Turkey the president of Turkey comparing IDF soldiers to Nazi troops but in fact this is actually reported by Wynette this is what he said on Friday he made that comparison and it's no surprise there I mean erawan is is you know he's in cahoots with many of the enemies of the Jewish state of Israel he himself is one of them let's call spade a spade and hopefully hopefully one day the good people of Turkey will overthrow this horrible horrible leader and just one will last Gaza related story here there were protests Pro Gaza protests taking place over the last several days in the town of Haifa and now police according to The Times of Israel being probed for alleged violence in dispersing the crowds there in Haifa 21 people were arrested in a demonstration there the other day the police maintained that they acted lawfully and of course you have the members of Knesset from the Arab parties who are slamming the police for the way things were handled there the police are sticking to their guns saying they didn't and didn't do anything wrong and you now have different M K's from all over the spectrum who are commenting on these riots essentially in Haifa there but I wouldn't be surprised ultimately it is determined that these riots were organized by Israeli Arab MKS I wouldn't be surprised if they're behind these these rallies riots and once again proving that their loyalty does not lie with the State of Israel even though supposedly they represent 15-20 percent of the population truly a shame that some of the Arabs in this country don't have real leaders who are willing to accept Israel for what it is and are willing to admit that the Arabs who live in Israel have it better than the Arabs and the Muslims who live anywhere else in the Middle East if only the MKS would admit that fact and embrace the State of Israel embrace the fact that they have education and health care and benefits and everything else and had a much higher standard of living here in this country but that is not the case switching to the situation in Syria at least 28 pro-government fighters were killed in a string of blasts at a regime airbase in central Syria this weekend reported by the AFP nobody has taken responsibility here for the deaths of these pro-assad regime forces and there are some who are claiming that perhaps Iranians or members of because volaterrae gang were killed in this and so far a jihadist group claimed responsibility I don't see any indication at this point that Israel has handed it but who knows I'm surprised that they aren't blaming Israel regardless perhaps this was some of the Sunni groups they're responsible for an attack on these on these Iranians but we'll see we'll see what happened here we'll see if Israel was involved but of course Israel will do what it has to do in order to protect its northern border and we'll see what the near future brings in terms of the conflict there in the north visa vie Israel and Iranian troops on the ground in Syria Hezbollah forces Assyrians their pro-regime we'll see what this week brings hopefully it'll be quiet let's say that hopefully it'll be quiet for the residents of the galata in northern Israel this week turning to Australia and our almost weekly anti-semitism report The Times of Israel says that Jewish siblings in Australia in Melbourne on Shabbat afternoon were assaulted in a it's actually a suburb of Melbourne were assaulted in a suspected anti-semitic attack twenty five year old woman her 22 year old brother were standing outside a home when they were attacked by an unknown assailant and the man had a minor head injury while the woman was taken to a hospital after sustaining cuts nothing is life-threatening but apparently they were dressed as religious Jews and were attacked because of the fact that they were Jewish according to the reports and we you know we have this I don't know if it's daily or weekly or whatnot and we I don't think we've talked about it in a while on the show but this is just a regular occurrence in countries all over the world whether it's Europe whether it's Australia here or the United States or whatnot even in places like New York where Jews who are openly Jewish are being attacked in these anti-semitic incidents time and time again unfortunately that is the reality today here 2018 who would have thought but then you know it has been going on for thousands of years nothing new here but unfortunate nonetheless and finally we are going to conclude with an unfortunately some sad news the passing of middle-east historian Bernard Lewis at the age of 101 today on Sunday the Prime Minister of Israel eulogized Bernard Lewis he actually I believe passed away yesterday one of the greatest scholars of the Middle East according to the Prime Minister Netanyahu and he's published tons of books on the situation here in the Middle East Prime Minister Netanyahu quote said Bernard Lewis was one of the great scholars of Islam in the Middle East and our time we will be forever grateful for his robust defense of Israel according to an official statement and for those who haven't actually I actually met his head was honored to meet Bernard Lewis on at least one occasion that I recall truly a an amazing mind an amazing scholar telling it like it is about the situation here and is around the Middle East is influential books reading here at the Times of Israel shaped generations of Middle East scholars so if you're not familiar with the work of Bernard Lewis may he rest in peace and I don't know how many books if it's dozens or or what not that he wrote on the situation here in the Middle East I don't even know where to start or what to recommend there's so many but get yourself on board and get yourself a copy of some of his books and see what the reality is here in Israel in the Middle East just some titles here are the Arabs in history 1950 the emergence of modern Turkey the crisis of Islam 2003 predicting the the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 in terms of what you know how that could go wrong he warned about what the situation might look like in Egypt and in fact when the Muslim Brotherhood took over I me essentially predicted that according to this report mr. brilliant mind so if you're not familiar again check out the work of the one and only professor Bernard Lewis Princeton University who passed away broke down Diana I met they say in Hebrew may he rest in peace at the age of 101 and that's going to do it for this week my name is Josh hastin this is Israel uncensored on the Land of Israel network at the Land of Israel
