Journalist, author and Mid East analyst Dr. Jonathan Spyer discusses with Eve Harow some of the acute and chronic ‘dysfunctional’ -or more correctly, highly functional but quite dangerous- regimes in countries bordering or near Israel. How is Lebanon’s collapse related to Iran? Is the insurgency in Iraq more worrisome than we think? Is the Biden administration dealing with the JCPOA talks correctly? Can Jordan be considered a reliable Western ally? How do Turkey and Russia play into this all too real game of RISK? These questions and more are answered by a veteran analyst and information gatherer, whose sources are not on twitter or instagram.

Over 1,600 Jews ascended The Temple Mount on Sunday, Tisha B'av to mourn the destruction of both Temples, and show their yearning for the construction of the Third Temple. Some groups were attacked by Arabs, while others were forced off the Mount after singing Hatikva, Israel's national anthem. A statement released by Prime Minister Bennett on Sunday indicated that Jewish prayer should be allowed at Judaism's holiest site, yet that statement was walked back this morning, indicating that the "status quo" remains in effect. In other words, Muslims can pray up there, but Jews can not. This story, plus all the latest news from Israel, on today's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

9 Days and almost 9th of Av, Yishai and Malkah go positive on Israel and mark the progress of the Jewish State even in the current bumpy period. Then, Rav Mike Feuer joins Rabbi Yishai to inaugurate the Book of Devarim and discuss the simplicity of entering the Land with God.

Eve spent a day last week digging at Tel es Safi - (and may have even helped uncover a wall from the time of Hazael). She interviewed Professor Aren Maeir, the charismatic archaeologist who has been in charge of the site for 25 years. What discoveries have they made and how does a major enemy in the Biblical narrative fare when dusted off in modern daylight?

On today's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Rabbi Ari Katz, Director of PR, Max and Ruth Schwartz Yeshivat Hesder Sderot. Katz described how the student-soldiers of the institution give back to the community during times of war and times of quiet. The Hesder, located a kilometer from the Gaza border, is also in the midst of a fundraising campaign to expand their campus and "rocketproof" their remaining unprotected buildings. Also on today's show, the latest news from Israel.

Yishai and Malkah get into the nitty-gritty and philosophy of an Israeli law to block Arab family reunification and the coalition's efforts to block state subsidies to Ultra-Orthodox families - both of which are core issues that affect where Israel is going. Then, Gabe Groisman, Mayor of Bal Harbour, on the pain and strength behind the Surfside disaster.

Tzipi Schlissel’s book, 'Hebron Breaks the Silence', is a collection of vignettes on what is really happening in Hebron that has now been translated into English. She speaks with Eve Harow about how the murder of her father, Rav Shlomo Ra’anan, the grandson of the great Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook, brought her to the city nearly 20 years ago. She has since devoted herself to setting the story straight about the Jewish presence in the town of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs. Her book illuminates the 3800 year history in a charming and personable way, mixed with facts and documentation.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the UN has agreed to distribute Qatari funds to the people of Gaza, in order that the money isn't diverted to Hamas' terror arsenal. Can Israel rely on the UN, the same body which turns a blind eye to the Hezbollah arms build up in Lebanon, whose UNHRC condemns Israel each and every time it meets, and whose UNRWA supplies Arab students with textbooks full of anti-Israel hate? On this week's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh predicts that at the end of the day, the money will no doubt end up in Hamas's coffers.

You know about labor Zionism, revisionist Zionism, practical Zionism and religious Zionism - but have you heard of survival Zionism? Here is the first episode in a six part LIVE series on the crucial years of 1938-45.
