Israel Uncensored: Surviving a Direct Rocket Hit

ah hastin here Israel uncensored on land of Israel network at the Land of Israel background it is Monday the 17th of June 2019 a 14th of Sivan five seven seven nine hope you're doing well in your part of the world don't forget you can always get in touch with me Josh at the Land of Israel comm is my email on Facebook it is Joshua hastin or my new age Josh hastened Israel advocacy and journalism on Twitter at Josh hastin and now on Instagram as well I am here in Jerusalem the capital of the State of Israel and the eternal capital of the Jewish people we're going to get to some news here and hopefully in a few minutes we'll be going down to steriod just the other day a terrorists fired rocket made a direct hit on the head area Shiva and stay wrote for those of you who know me know that I spent three years very frequently down in stir doing some PR work for that very institution the heads are there they've had close calls in the past miraculous close calls I would say Rockets landing Mir or on their campus and here's another incident a direct hit on a building on the shiva the hesita russia of a canvas thank God no injuries so if all the technology is working we'll be speaking to rabbi dolphin Dell the head of that institution in just a few minutes but first we'll start with the news reported by The Jerusalem Post rowdy Nasser the mayor of dear caddis a Palestinian so-called Palestinian town west of Ramallah is facing strong condemnation for inviting Jewish what they call settlers to the wedding of his son the Palestinian ruling Fatah faction decided to expel the mayor from its ranks has called on the PA security forces to launch an investigation against those who were seen celebrating with the Jews during the wedding so here you have a wedding in a PA town I'm not exactly sure how the Israelis or the Jews got into the town in the first place because of the big red signs which warn you that it is dangerous to go into those areas and again against Israeli law maybe they have a dual citizenship I don't know if the story is but the bottom line is and it happens often here you have industrial zones where Arabs and Jews work together in Judea and Samaria and when a Jew has a simple a happy occasion and invites his Arab colleague because that occasion perhaps takes place in Area C the Arabs can attend however if the Arab invites the Jew to attend as his simcha his family wedding or whatever it is normally the Jew cannot attend in this case somehow those Israelis those Jews were able to attend the wedding but Fatah is going crazy over the fact that Arabs and Jews were celebrating this wedding together that's why I tell people there is a relative coexistence here you're talking about of course the the best example is that Rami levy supermarket in Gush Etzion at the good junction where Arabs and Jews work and shop together yet the auto body shop next door where Arabs and Jews also work together the Jews cannot go to the events of the happy occasions of their colleagues yet in this case I mean this is this is the epitome of the situation here where Fatah is who knows what they're going to do to this Maher who knows what they're going to do to those Arabs who were at the wedding and were seen dancing with Jews that is their crime they danced at a wedding with Jews the pictures were spread somehow on social media you had images of a number of Jews being carried on the shoulders of some of the Palestinian the Arab men and this of course drawing strong condemnation from many especially there in the FATA or the Palestinian the J post says that Palestinian social media users expressed shock over the presence of the Israelis at the wedding accused the mayor and his son who is the groom of treason bottom line PA does not want any type of normalcy the PA must go the PA must go and we'll talk about that in just a minute here Minister Gillard er down at the Jerusalem Post conference saying essentially that for everybody's sake the Palestinian Authority must go the mayor of course here whose son got married denied he and the son and anything to do with it deny that they invited any Jews because the guy wants to keep his head literally who knows what the Palestinian Authority will do to this mayor his son their family and anybody else seen in these pictures that is the reality that is the Palestinian Authority for you they want nothing to do with the Jews that is the bottom line so here you have right now or yesterday rather Sunday the jerusalem post conference was held annual conference in new york city gilad aired on minister Gilad erdan minister of strategic affairs says it's time for mahmoud abbas to go remember mahmoud abbas i think is in is what 14th year of a four-year term the international community must take immediate steps to oust PA chairman mahmoud abbas so in order to advance the diplomatic process strategic affairs minister jeollado down said sunday in his speech at the jay post conference there Don noted that Abbas recently said that if the PA had one cent it would pay that one cent to the families of those who martyred themselves murdering Jews and those in prison for committing acts of terror against Israeli civilians and you're seeing that you're seeing that reality any money any spare change that they have well it's not just spare change it's their top priority their top priority is to pay terrorists support terrorists and their families you can go online and see a chart I don't know exactly where you can find it but there is a chart out there which I've seen before for which we essentially Courage's these terror attacks let's the terrorists know if you kill one Jew you get X amount of money for the rest of your life to Jews you get more and on and on and on if you injured you you get one amount if you get caught in the process and you go to jail without and Regan a Jew you got a you get a less amount but you get a stipend for basically for the rest of your life so the PA has to go once and for all I agree with Gilad erred on on that note I do not agree if we're talking about any type of diplomatic process which would lead towards Israeli land concessions we've gone down that path before Gaza is the perfect example no matter what happens in future talks negotiations how about we say we'll let you live here in peace and quiet as we always wanted to do if you just stop your Terror and leave us alone and raise your families and go to work like many Arabs do but you have those who would rather dedicate their entire existence and all of their waking hours to destroying the Jewish state of Israel but that doesn't mean we have to give away any land or evacuate any Jews from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria also recommended by Gilad aired on and his speech was in fact to apply Israeli law to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria which he called legal moral and logical I agree with him there as well we should annex apply sovereignty whatever you want to call it to all the communities of Judea and Samaria Samaria there's no reason that the Jews who live in these areas like myself have to feel like a second-class citizen and when you want to build a pergola on your house you essentially have to get an IDF approval for that pergola whereas in the rest of the country you just go down to the the local Building Authority with your plans from your architect and they approve it right then and there it doesn't involve international negotiations or politics or what have you in order to build a pergola that is the reality of life in Judea and Samaria no more of that as their Don says there's no reason that hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens need to live under Ottoman or British laws which are still in effect in Judea and Samaria just because Abu Mazen Mahmoud Abbas has chosen terror and a boycott of Israel instead of peace so that's from the J post conference there in New York yesterday however that's key later on at the same time you have the Shin Bet Israel Security Agency director nob argaman who met with the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to try to convince him to accept partial customs payments to end an economic crisis reported by channel 12 this past weekend Israel and the PA have been in a standoff over the 600 million shekel and customs payments per month which the Jewish state generally collects on the PAS behalf and transfers to the Palestinian Authority you can question from the beginning why we're doing that but in April the PA refused to accept any transfers any money unless is the Israeli government agreed to transfer 100 percent of the payments which is supposed to collect on the PAF Israel of course said that it would no longer transfer the same amount the PA pays to the terrorists and their families so now the PA is saying well if you're not going to pay us the full amount if you're going to make any deductions then just keep it so you have the head of the Shin Bet trying to sweet-talk as it says here the J post the PA president into taking the vast majority of the money so I am asking here my question is is is this for real or do ours our Shin Bet actually going and meeting with my own Abbas and begging him to take some of the money I mean here you have a guy who operates a pay for sleigh program Israel decided enough is enough we're gonna detect the funds and they say they're not gonna take any money and our security forces are begging them to take the money so that the PA does not collapse okay most Israel Israeli defense officials regard the collapse of the PA it says here is a worst-case scenario which could lead to a Hamas takeover in the what they call West Bank we turning would endanger Israeli security far more than Hamas is takeover of Gaza in 2007 let me ask you this though if you're not aware who has killed more Jews Israelis over the years Hamas or Fatah the Palestinian Authority fought the ruling party there the answer is Fattah okay I looked into it I did my homework and Fattah has killed more Jews one of the first Israelis murdered during the Oslo war what some call the Second Intifada was when a Fattah or Palestinian Authority policeman turned his gun on his Israeli counterpart father cannot be trusted and I I don't by this logic that well if you don't bolster the PA then you'll get Hamas as if Hamas is worse than the PA because now what we're saying in Gaza as we allow Qatari payments into Gaza to bolster Hamas were saying there well if you overthrow Hamas you could get something worse you could get some Islamic Jihad organization or Isis or who knows what I don't subscribe to the logic that a you know that you have to bolster one tear organization because you think or the perception is that another one is worse I don't buy it and that's my proof my proof of this is the fact that the Palestinian Authority fought PLO whatever you want to call them all their branches have murdered more Israelis than even Hamas so I don't buy it I I would side here with Gilad erdan and calling for the Palestinian Authority had my own Abbas to be removed and in my opinion the PA to be shut down entirely and without worrying about a Hamas was going to be worse there are plenty of anti-israel anti-semitic terror organizations out there and some of them were suits some of their leaders were suits and some of them wear plain clothes some of them wear uniforms it doesn't matter all those terror groups who want to seek Israel's destruction we should not be talking to them negotiating with them trying to pick one side over the other I mean that was the premise of we were gonna fund and arm the PA to fight Hamas when did they ever do that when did they take on Hamas so I I don't believe even even if there is some type of limited security coordination I don't think that's foolproof I think that that could backfire on us I am not in favor of begging begging Mahmoud Abbas to take money part even partial customs payments from Israel I'm against that in other news on Sunday a big ceremony was held in the Golan Heights as a as a sign was put up for the dedication of a new community in the Golan honoring President Donald Trump for everything he's done particularly recognizing Israel's rights to the Golan the new community is going to be called Ramat Trump Trump Heights that is the new community slated I don't know when it will be built I heard all different types of rumors that it was there was already a plan for a community there and now they're just renaming it Ramat Trump Trump Heights and they'll start building there others are saying no it's just a sign at this point and there isn't really a community in the works there and the approvals aren't there they don't have a plan so I don't know what the reality is but there definitely was a a ceremony with in Hebrew it's called Hakata Tov I don't know the literal translation hakarat hatov may be out there you couldn't you could help me with that basically saying thank you to the Trump administration for everything they've done until this point and I hope it continues I hope there are no surprises whenever this deal of the century is released and who knows when that's going to be now that Israel's going back to the elections but you had the Prime Minister yesterday holding the cabinet meeting in the Golan with ambassador Friedman and many other esteemed dignitaries there big sign Ramat to trump trump heights you can go up to the Golan as an Israeli an American flag there on the sign thanking the president for everything he's done and when I understand president Trump went on Twitter yesterday evening and thanked Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu for that honor just one other story here before we go to break and then if everything checks out rabbi fen Dell from stay wrote a 16 this is report by the Jewish press 16 GOP members of Congress last week sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey demanding that he remove quote all content promoting terrorist activity and ban senior Hamas officials and associates from Twitter who radicalized individuals to incite violence against Israelis so apparently Hezbollah has been banned from Twitter Isis's would banned from Twitter the Hamas is still there why is Hamas still there well I mean perhaps it's because perhaps it's because of Israel perhaps the fact that Israel continues whether directly or indirectly to negotiate with Hamas to essentially recognize their rule in Gaza allowing money Qatari money into Gaza perhaps that's the reason they have a degree of legitimacy so what what can Israel do I say stop any type of these negotiations which lead to these fake and phony cease fires stop talking to Hamas and deal with Hamas as need be a terror organization maybe that will work in causing the world in the world of Twitter to stop legitimizing Hamas and take down their social media and their hate speech and everything else I think it has to start with Israel that is my ultimate point anyway we're gonna take a break right now you're listening to Israel uncensored on the land of Israel I work at the Land of Israel calm for Monday the 17th of June 2019 it is the 14th of Sivan five seven seven nine hope you're doing well in your part of the world short break and we will come right back with more [Music] this week on inside Israel today on the Land of Israel network on the Land of Israel comm Gil Hoffman will speak about whether Netanyahu's entered a political minefield in the repeat election and he will interview a nod will former member of Knesset from the Labour Party about whether the Labour Party is doomed to die and whether there will be three-peat election listen to inside Israel today on the Land of Israel network on the Land of Israel calm and we are back Josh hasted here Israel uncensored anna-lena visceral network at the Land of Israel calm it is Monday the 17th of June 2019 the 14th of sieve on five seven seven nine if you've been following the news over the last couple days you know that terror organizations in Gaza have once again launched rockets at Israeli communities there was a rocket launched this past Wednesday night and then on Thursday night a rocket scored a direct hit on one of the buildings belonging to the Shiva the heads are you Shiva in the town of stearic so we're gonna go to the phone right now and to speak to the head of the history of Shiva thus they wrote a good friend of the show rabbi Dov and Dara F and L thanks so much for joining us today good party thank you if you can let us know what exactly happened there on Thursday I know that you've had some close calls in the past with Rockets raining down near your campus on your campus and thank God you've had miracles in the past and it looks like another miracle since thank God nobody was injured in this latest rocket attack if you can describe exactly what happened this past Thursday evening this is the closest you know there's a direct hit on these XI but this building thank God most of the guys were away for Shabbos because they were here for Chagas of oil delivery of the service before 21 days so most and went home it's not god forbid it were too is right where the Qassam rocket hit and thank god the building is protected it's a matter of centimeters miracles don't always happen we can't rely on miracles and there's something wrong happening here and even in the media everybody you know spoke about it Thursday night and Friday morning and then everything was forgotten as if we live with this it is unbelievable and really it's something that can't continue I think we have to go back to the northern part at least of the Gaza Strip that's where at least unite me sunny we evacuated we were in a way and we thought that we run away they they run further instead they run closer and they just follow us and we have to go back to those areas it's the Hamas land right now there's no reason that we shouldn't hurt the does I mean in the hardest place and that's by taking back land for people who don't know I mean this has now been going on for 19 years since 2001 that's when the first rocket started raining then of course Israel pulled out of Gaza left Gush Katif and the northern communities in Gaza the Jewish communities in 2005 and then the Rockets really started coming down there was an increased by 500% right after that and then Hamas took over and here you have a situation today I mean how can you describe this how is it how's it fathom fathomable that you have an entire generation of kids who have grown up now under rocket fire now we're already in the second generation of kids well the Palestinians really were convinced that they would turn starett into a ghost town without letting them returning into a capital of Zionism and Torah they tried to destroy they can't keep up with the pace of all the beautiful building that's going on they tried to break our spirit they didn't realize it's unbreakable and it invincible and thousands of years old they're building tunnels were building parks they're flying kites and we're building skyscrapers there they're not going to succeed and that's the major message it's coming at a spirit is building growing young families moving in and nurseries that are being opened up it's unbelievable numbers and the real estate booming and the city is thriving that's one picture and that's there it's a beautiful picture it's true it really is another picture and we can't forget the hundreds of families here that suffer miscarriages that is trauma that the children are going through psychological problems that their whole life has been is it still too unfortunately fear that causes other fears and these type of phenomena are the victims of terror and it's something that in a proud Israeli country shouldn't be happening there's a lot of warmth and a lot of love that we feel from the entire country an entire Jewish world and now it's really time to thank all those great people that helped us protect the building and here that it saved life but at the same time it was something is wrong and I was I think that we have to consider so we have to return our missing soldiers that's something that it can't be that they're taken hostage and in the Gaza Strip right over here and we continue to give them literacy it can't be recommended to give them water it can't be that we allow the leaders to roam freely when they they're trying to kill us and tell me we can't forget just 72 hours ago they tried to kill they tried to kill and it could have been a mess tragedy and we just continue as if nothing happened because they missed doesn't work like that yeah I definitely agree with you if you can rabbi tell us where were you exactly when the rocket hit the Achieva building we have two big issue the buildings and I was in the other one learning Duffy on me and I got a phone call and I ran right to that right as that and I ran to our other victim address and we saw the kids that were in the building the soldiers and boys learning and they were shaken up but there was a lot of thanking God and it's something that at one point where on one side very thankful to Sparkle and we're proud to be spirit citizen and we have the ambivalent feelings at the same time that we have to stop this can't continue how extensive was the damage I just want to explain again you mentioned it but the build the two buildings the two big buildings at which you have the beit midrash and steroid and and the the other branch these are actually rocket proof buildings if people haven't been down there you should definitely visit it's an unbelievable thing i mean where else in the world you have buildings which are rocket proof that's how they were built with tons and tons of concrete but nevertheless i saw the images from the pictures there was in fact some damage I mean how extensive was the damage presents very important to build beautiful this isn't beautiful you she vote and as beautiful Jerusalem stones and then glass so that of course a lot of it was Surf Coast a their record is the stone and the shattered the windows that's all very easily repairable and we're going back a lot of beautiful learning and giving and contributing to this city and continuing to society will there be any type of celebratory thanking God any type of ceremony since nobody was injured and it was another miracle I remember the time when the rocket landed I think it was back in 2006 just outside your office and you had a miracle in the rocket did not explode and that's even before you had the protected buildings is there gonna be some type of ceremony after this latest incident so far we didn't fix it yet and we're planning and it's important that people see it and people people invited to come down yourself and we're trying to invite leaders of the countries that they could see that there are hundreds of guy boys here and the pretty needs protection and it's not a wig not a proper way of managing the city managing a country
