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.

Agreement Reached on Qatari Funding for Gaza

Israeli media outlets reported this week that Qatar and the Palestinian Authority have reached an agreement which would allow for Qatari funds to reach Gaza. The money is supposed to go towards the needy in the Hamas-run enclave in addition to Hamas’ “administration officials.” On today’s edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that no doubt some of that funding will be used by Hamas to further their terror agenda against the Jewish State.

Can We Trust the UN to Oversee Gaza Funding?

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the UN has agreed to distribute Qatari funds to the people of Gaza, in order that the money isn’t diverted to Hamas’ terror arsenal. Can Israel rely on the UN, the same body which turns a blind eye to the Hezbollah arms build up in Lebanon, whose UNHRC condemns Israel each and every time it meets, and whose UNRWA supplies Arab students with textbooks full of anti-Israel hate? On this week’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh predicts that at the end of the day, the money will no doubt end up in Hamas’s coffers.

Even though the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on May 21, the fact that Hamas isn’t launching rockets and the Israeli military isn’t striking back at terror targets in the Gaza Strip doesn’t mean that peace has broken out between Israelis and Arabs.

Who Won the Latest Israel/Hamas Confrontation?

Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire this past Friday morning after 12 days of fighting in which Hamas fired over 4,000 rockets at the Jewish State, killing 13 Israelis, while Israel struck back targeting hundreds of terror targets and killing over 200 terrorists. Who gained the upper hand as a result of this latest round of conflict? While Israel certainly delivered a strong blow to Hamas, the terror group wasn’t destroyed and has the capabilities to start launching rockets again at any time. Plus Hamas is still holding on to two Israeli civilians and two IDF soldiers killed in the 2014 war. So who won this round? Josh Hasten gives his opinions on this week’s edition of “Israel Uncensored.”

Thousands of Arab protesters have been violently rioting on the Temple Mount (known by Muslims as Haram al-Sharif) throughout the “Jerusalem Day” holiday and over the course of the last several days, accusing Israel of attempting to “storm the Al-Aqsa Mosque” and “Judaize” the entire city. Hundreds of rioters have been injured, along with dozens of Israeli police and security personnel.

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.

BDS in Cahoots with Terrorists

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a Jerusalem Post report reveals that at least 60 anti-Israel BDS groups recently took part in two online events led by leaders from Iran, Hamas, and other terror organizations. The fact that BDS groups are in direct cahoots with these terrorist entities proves that their true mission isn’t to encourage the boycotting of Israel, or to improve Arab lives, but rather their goal is to destroy the Jewish State.
