Hamas’ Psychological Warfare

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the psychological warfare and terrorism being utilized by Hamas during this current ceasefire. From forcing Israeli captives – women and children to smile and wave as they are being freed, to having them write letters praising their time in Gaza, as if they were away at summer camp. Hamas is doing everything in its power to gain world sympathy, while trying to convince the Israeli people that ceasefires should be extended. Their goal of course is to rearm and refuel, for the next round of fighting.

Israel Continues Campaign to Wipe Out Hamas – with Iran in the Shadows

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten speaks with Bryan Leib, a foreign policy expert and former Congressional candidate, about Israel’s war to wipe out Hamas. The pair agree that all signs point to Iran when it comes to the massacre last week, in which more than 1,300 Jews were brutally murdered in southern Israel. As Israel buries her dead, the morale is high amongst IDF troops, prepared to do battle with the world’s greatest evil.

UN Legitimizes Hamas, “Horrified” When Terrorist Killed

Two parallel stories in the news this week coming out of the United Nations. First, UN special rapporteur for the “Palestinians” spoke at a Hamas conference in Gaza and welcomed their resistance (see: terrorism). Then, the UN Special Coordinator for the so-called Middle East Peace Process expressed that he was “horrified” that a terrorist who tried to murder Israelis in a village near Shechem was shot dead. On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that once again the UN is showing that it has no moral compass. This and all the latest news from Israel on this week’s podcast.

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. This story and all the news from Israel on this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

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.

Lapid’s Misguided Gaza Strategy

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid laid out his strategy for the future of Gaza at a conference on terrorism yesterday. His plan – to defeat Hamas through economic improvements and through diplomacy. On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that Lapid has it completely backwards. Instead of easing conditions in Gaza, which the residents there would then credit Hamas for accomplishing, Israel should create a reality in which Gazans want to see the terror group Hamas dethroned and out of their lives completely. This story plus all the latest news from Israel on this week’s show.
