Gazan Arabs Once Again Blame Hamas for Their Woes

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.

The World vs. The “Settlers”

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.

Most Gazans blame the PA & Hamas – Not Israel, for Their Woes

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.

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.
