A recent survey shows that most Arabs living in Gaza blame the Palestinian Authority and Hamas for their current situation, and not Israel! 70% of the residents there hold their leadership and the PA responsible for the hardships they endure. On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Israel needs to adopt policies in regard to Gaza based on this reality. Instead of bolstering Hamas along with the PA, which divert international funds to line their pockets, and use raw materials from Israel to strengthen their terror arsenal, Israel needs to crack down harder instead of emboldening these groups. Josh says that the people of Gaza should be encouraged to turn against their abusive leaders who are being used as pawns against the Jewish State.

“Settler Violence” on i24NEWS English – 16 December 2021
Josh Hasten appeared on i24NEWS English to discuss “settler violence.” Tragic and ironic that such a discussion happened as an Israeli was murdered by a Muslim terrorist. While Jewish sporadic violence carried out by 0.1% of the community is condemned by #Israel, on the other hand the PA incentivizes the murder of Jews with multiple attacks taking place daily – each and every day.

Radicals Oppose Israel President’s Hebron Candle Lighting
Extremist Israeli organizations, and believe it or not, radical Members of Knesset were up in arms that Israel’s President Chaim Herzog lit Hanukkah candles at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron last night. On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that while it’s no surprise that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority accused Herzog of “storming” Hebron on Hanukkah (which is essentially a blood libel), what’s more disturbing is MK’s and Israeli groups who are not in the consensus trying to deny a modern-day connection between Judaism and its second holiest city.
