On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that while the headlines are focused on Russia’s aggression against the Ukraine, the deeper story here is the US Biden Administration’s weakness, which a terrible sign not only for the Ukraine, but for world order.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh cites expert analysis explaining Israel’s positions in regard to the crisis between Russia and the Ukraine.

Seventy-seven percent of the NGOs cited in Amnesty International’s damning report against Israel were Israeli organizations that received more than a hundred million dollars from foreign governments since 2012, the Zionist watchdog group Im Tirtzu said on Sunday. In other words, while Amnesty should be taken to task for their report of lies and for falsely accusing Israel of being an Apartheid state, perhaps more fingers should be pointed at local organizations here in Israel, which supplied the fodder for the anti-Israel phony report.

While they might not have become Zionists, a group of Gazan Arabs has once again launched an anti-Hamas campaign, calling out their leadership for their difficult economic conditions. The group says that Hamas, and not Israel, is to blame for poverty, unemployment, and other difficulties in their lives. The activists are also taking Hamas leaders to task for lining their own pockets while also appeasing Iran, instead of taking care of those suffering under their rule. This story and all the news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that the world community, mainstream media, and even the Israeli government turns a blind eye towards Arab initiated violence and provocations against the Jews of Judea and Samaria. When rare instances of violence are carried out by Jews, there are front page headlines, condemnations, and investigations, but the daily incidents of attempted murder – firebomb and rock attacks targeting Jewish motorists, are mostly ignored.
