The Link Between Arab Violence in Jerusalem and the South

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses the current wave of Arab violence with lynch mobs in Jerusalem, and rockets being fired at southern communities. Expert analysts say that both Hamas and the PA, who are encouraging the terror, are each trying to show that they are tops when it comes to attacking Israeli Jews, so they will garner more votes in the upcoming legislative elections. Both groups are also trying to distract attention away from internal problems by inciting the attacks.

On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses all the wrong moves made by the US Biden Administration in regard to Israel and the Middle East, while world Jewry was busy celebrating Passover. From launching indirect talks with Iran, to once again labeling Israel as an “occupier” in Judea and Samaria, from refunding the Palestinian Authority, to lifting sanctions on the ICC prosecutor, Josh says that on all of these issues, the administration is doing what it can to undo the accomplishments of the Trump administration and ultimately harm Israel’s interests.
