The Judea and Samaria podcast

Israeli travelers are reportedly having their luggage searched for products from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, but thousands of Christians are responding in exactly the opposite way.

Another terror attack has left the son of Israel’s ambassador to Washington fighting for his life, but an alarming discovery underground may point to an even bigger threat emerging in Judea and Samaria. In this episode of Judeacation, Josh Hasten covers the car-ramming attack that critically wounded Neria Leiter just days after father of six Netanel Shukron was murdered, as Israeli leaders debate how to restore deterrence amid a new wave of attacks. He also investigates the discovery of deep underground shafts alongside weapons in Qalqilya, and the dispute between Israeli police and the IDF over whether they constitute a tunnel network. Plus, Josh takes on Emmanuel Macron’s controversial claim about Hamas in Judea and Samaria, examines Europe’s expanding restrictions on Israeli goods and reveals the new communities and tourism projects transforming Israel’s biblical heartland.

An Israeli father of six was murdered in a terrorist shooting on the eve of Yom Kippur near Neve Tzuf in Judea and Samaria.

Europe is escalating its economic campaign against Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, but Palestinians themselves could end up paying the price.

A former Palestinian terrorist just admitted what the PA has spent years denying: paying terrorists can help inspire the next generation to follow in their footsteps. This episode of Judeacation exposes what Palestinian Media Watch says the PA’s “pay-for-slay” system is really accomplishing, as senior Palestinian officials simultaneously defend attacks against Israelis and glorify a family with multiple ties to terrorism. But that’s only the beginning. You’ll also learn why Britain’s threat to punish Israel over E1 could trigger a showdown involving the Trump administration, how Iran and Hamas are allegedly trying to ignite Judea and Samaria and why new communities, thousands of homes and even six new kindergartens could signal a major shift in Israel’s future on the ground.

The headline blamed Israeli settlers. The investigation told a very different story.

Israel is not leaving Judea and Samaria. In this episode of Judeacation, Josh Hasten breaks down Danny Danon’s forceful message at the U.N., serious questions surrounding U.N. “settler violence” statistics and the thwarting of an alleged terrorist attack in northern Samaria.

The stories fueling this conflict don't begin on the battlefield, they begin with the history people are taught.

If you still believe there's a meaningful difference between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, this episode will force you to think again. This week on Judeacation, Josh Hasten examines newly surfaced footage of senior Palestinian Authority and Fatah officials praising terrorists and supporting the destruction of Israel, raising difficult questions about the distinction often made between the PA and Hamas. He also breaks down Israel's latest counterterrorism measures following deadly attacks in Judea and Samaria, UNESCO's controversial decision regarding the biblical city of Samaria, claims surrounding so-called "settler violence," another foiled terror attack and the continued expansion of Jewish communities throughout Israel's biblical heartland. If you want to better understand the ideological battle unfolding alongside the security one, and why the narrative war matters just as much as events on the ground, this episode is essential viewing.
