    How Shifts in Land Restrictions Mark a Turning Point on Sovereignty

    Israel just made a move that could reshape the future of Judea and Samaria forever and this episode breaks down exactly why it matters. Host Josh Hasten dives into Israel’s dramatic decision to lift decades-old land restrictions, what it signals about sovereignty and deterrence and how it connects to major security developments like terrorist deportations, a Lebanon-directed Hamas-Hezbollah cell being stopped in its tracks and the growing push to restore the historic name “Judea and Samaria” in U.S. policy.

    Inside Palestinian Power: Leadership, Money and Strategy in Judea and Samaria

    In this episode, Josh Hasten analyzes how Palestinian political leadership, financial structures, and international advocacy efforts influence developments in Judea and Samaria. He looks at land activity in Area C, long-standing incentive systems that continue under updated frameworks, and how global narratives often form before full context is widely understood. The conversation helps viewers approach Palestinian-Israeli coverage with a more critical eye by focusing on incentives, coordination, and how information travels across borders in today’s media environment.

    Bedouin Criminals Rob Jewelry Store Disguised as IDF Soldiers

    Today's episode begins with a masterclass in how anti-Israel narratives get manufactured in real time: armed robbers near Hebron disguise themselves as IDF soldiers, betting the internet will do the propaganda for them before the facts catch up. From there, host Josh Hasten moves fast through the week’s biggest Judea and Samaria developments, including the launch of a new community in Samaria, a high-stakes legal push toward the death penalty for a terrorist and the IDF’s home-demolition policy with the blunt question Israel rarely asks out loud: what actually deters terror? You’ll come away understanding how “apartheid” accusations collide with reality on the ground, why Oslo’s Area A map still creates lethal flashpoints and how American pro-Israel leadership is increasingly putting Judea and Samaria back at the center of the biblical-and-political argument.

    Israel’s E1 Expansion Explained: Geography, Security and Sovereignty

    This episode of Judeacation cuts through the slogans and forces viewers to understand what E1 actually is and why it matters now. Instead of recycled talking points, Josh Hasten walks audiences through the geography, security logic, legal realities and psychological warfare surrounding Israel’s long-delayed E1 housing plan. Viewers will learn how E1 connects Jerusalem to Ma’ale Adumim, why every Israeli government understood its strategic value, how “apartheid” accusations collapse under basic legal scrutiny and why language itself has become a battlefield in Israel’s sovereignty debate. This is a masterclass in how borders, words and policy shape Israel’s future after October 7. If you want to understand what Israel is really fighting over, this episode explains it clearly, unapologetically and with facts the critics never address.

    Why October 7 Could Lead to Israeli Sovereignty (w/MK Dan Ilouz)

    Israel's next battle may be diplomatic but it could redefine the country’s borders. In this episode of "Judeacation", Likud MK Danny Danon joins Josh Hasten to break down PM Netanyahu’s pivotal Florida meetings, President Trump’s shifting posture, and the growing pressure from evangelical allies for Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. From historic Knesset votes to the global response after October 7, this conversation explores why strength, not restraint, may be Israel’s most powerful diplomatic weapon and why the world’s reaction to terrorism could determine Israel’s next irreversible move.

    World Powers Don't Want You To See THOUSANDS of Jewish Historical Sites - Why?

    A dark, silent war is being waged: Arabs are bulldozing ancient Jewish heritage sites in Judea and Samaria, and the world doesn’t just stay silent, it blames Israel. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of the battle to erase Jewish history entirely. From archaeological terrorism to Western governments condemning Jewish homes, this episode of Judeacation exposes the hypocrisy, the danger and the ticking time bomb that could spark a third intifada. Plus: disturbing new attempts to turn Christians against Israel and the shocking truth about Christmas propaganda in Haifa. You won’t hear this anywhere else.

    Something QUIET is Shifting in Judea and Samaria With Historic Moves Underway!

    Something seismic just shifted in Judea and Samaria and the world barely blinked. In this episode of Judeacation, Josh Hasten unpacks a quiet bureaucratic move that may mark the beginning of Israeli sovereignty in the heart of the Jewish homeland. But as civilian authority is handed over from the army to civilian hands, chaos brews: a Jewish woman nearly kidnapped in Jericho, international outrage over the legalization of Jewish communities, and foreign media spinning terrorist arrests as “ethnic cleansing.” Is this the dawn of normalization or the spark before the next storm?

    Moshe Feiglin: Why Progressives and Islamists Want to Destroy Civilization

    Former member of Israel's Knesset Moshe Feiglin makes a bold claim: the real war isn’t just with Hamas, it’s a global identity war between civilization and two destructive ideologies: radical Islam and progressivism. From the shocking silence of feminist groups on October 7 to the collapse of Israeli deterrence and Western values, Feiglin tears into the ideological rot hollowing out the West and Israel’s own military and political elite. He explains why modern Zionism has lost its soul, why anti-Semitism can’t be fought with Hasbara and why reclaiming Judea, Samaria, Gaza and our faith is the only path forward.
