The Israel Guys

Wake up world!!! The same security failures that lead to the Oct 7th massacre are repeating themselves in Judea and samaria. Yet no one seems to be taking it seriously! I sincerely hope that the Israeli high command stops following International opinion and does something before 1,000’s more are lost. Joshua breaks it all down for you on today’s show!

Yemen’s Houthi rebel group fired a barrage of 21 missiles and drones towards the Red Sea, putting dozens of international merchant vessels in danger. Thankfully, the US and Britain reacted quickly, shooting down all of the missiles. I don’t think the Houthis realize that they are messing with fire. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is wrapping up a Middle East tour to “reduce regional tensions” and Egyptian smugglers are taking advantage of the situation in Gaza to charge exorbitant prices to permit Palestinians to escape from Gaza. All this and more on today’s show!

The world continues calling for a ceasefire, when they should be calling for a surrender. Not only surrender by Hamas, but unconditional surrender, and the release of all 132 hostages who are still in captivity. More and more testimonies are coming out from those who survived October 7th, and those who were in captivity, but were released. One such testimony is both chilling and shocking. She was kidnapped by a 17 year old boy, taken to Gaza, and then sold to Hamas! All of those details, and much more, on today’s show.

A top Hamas leader was eliminated yesterday by Israel in Beirut, Lebanon. And in another good riddance, Harvard’s highly esteemed president, Claudine Gay resigned. Also some epic footage of the Israeli Air Force taking out terrorists with UAVs. All this and more on today’s show!

After spending more than 50 days in captivity in Gaza, all the while suffering from a largely untreated gunshot wound in her arm, Mia Shem gave an interview to Israeli television, telling the world what it was like to be a hostage of Hamas. Her bottom line? Everyone in Gaza is a terrorist. There are no innocents. In case you don’t want to believe her however, there are even more reports, from IDF soldiers, confirming her words. We’re going to dive into all of that on today’s show.

It’s 2024! For normal people around the world, New Years is a time to celebrate life and happiness for the year ahead. For Hamas, they celebrated by shooting a massive barrage of rockets at innocent Israeli civilians. But then again, I said that normal people celebrate New Years with a toast to life and happiness. Breaking news from the defense establishment, Israel is now securing their border with Jordan over fears that an attack from Hezbollah could come from that direction. In the Gaza Strip the IDF is deploying a large number of K9 fighters to help the soldiers locate and fight Hamas scumbags hiding in tunnels and under hospitals and schools. Also, we have some positive stories from here in Israel at the end of today’s show.

Can we equate the struggle of the Jewish people with the struggle of the Palestinians? Can we justify within ourselves that a bus full of fathers, mothers, and children being blown up in Jerusalem is the same as an apartment complex collapsing and killing fathers, mothers, and children in Gaza? Can we equate rape, infanticide, and torture with Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes? Are rocks thrown at passing motorists displaying Israeli plates in Judea and Samaria the same as targeted killings of Jihadi terrorist leaders? Former President Barack Obama seems to think so, as do many of his supporters. This entire idea of “moral equivalency”, or simply put - the idea that when Israel acts in self-defense, they must only respond “proportionally”, is a monstrous, ill-informed idea, and if not done away with, could very well be the downfall of the Western World, as we know it.

Another settlement showdown has hit the region North of Jerusalem. America’s response to that was pressure! Even while Israel is in the midst of a seven-front war. . .seems America wants to open an eighth front AGAINST the Jewish state. Joshua breaks down all this and more on today’s show!

With the Hamas massacre of October 7, and Israel’s subsequent ground operation to rid Gaza of the brutal terror group, the question arises, who is fit to govern Gaza when the dust settles? A bit of background: Hamas was elected to power in the Gaza Strip in 2006, overturning 40 years of rival-faction Fatah dominance. After the 2007 Battle of Gaza, Hamas took complete control of the Gaza strip, while the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority maintained their hold on the West Bank. Many now naturally consider the Palestinian Authority to be the best choice to take over governance of Gaza. Hamas would be gone from power, the PA would move in, Israel wouldn’t have to worry about terrorism, and innocent civilians in Gaza would have a government that truly cares about them, right? Unfortunately, this is the furthest thing from the truth. Not only does the Palestinian Authority not care for their own people, they are also thoroughly corrupt and just as anti-Israel as Hamas. Let me be clear, the Palestinian Authority is not the peaceful alternative to Hamas. All this and more on Episode #5 of Confronting Radicals (Hamas)!

Evidence continues to mount regarding Hamas’s use of hospitals as bases of operation and screens for their terrorist activities. In recent days, the IDF released a video of an interrogation of a Gaza hospital director in which he admits to being recruited as a Hamas commander to turn the Al Adwa hospital into military facilities. He explained how Hamas would prioritize their missions over the welfare of patients at the hospital, that they would rather murder Jews than save Palestinian lives. And as Israel says its war in Gaza will take months to complete, there are signs that another temporary truce to free hostages may be in the works. All this and more on today’s show!
