For the second time in as many months, the U.S. State Department, in coordination with the U.S. Treasury, is again issuing financial sanctions against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday appeared to reverse the Trump administration’s “Pompeo doctrine,” which stated that civilian Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria were not necessarily illegal according to international law.

Leaders of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, along with Zionist Israeli NGOs, have expressed their ire about the hearings currently taking place at the United Nations’ International Court of Justice in the Hague (ICJ) regarding Israel’s legal right to maintain a presence in those often-politicized regions of the country.

Israeli banks this week made the controversial decision to freeze the accounts of two Israelis sanctioned by the United States under an executive order signed by President Joe Biden. It is believed that the accounts of two other sanctioned Israelis will be frozen shortly. The EO states that the four are guilty of “Undermining Peace, Security, and Stability in the West Bank.”

Contrary to a well-orchestrated campaign, what little violence is being committed by a fringe of settlers is either down or about the same. Terrorism, meanwhile, is on the rise everywhere.
On today’s Israel Uncensored, Eve Harow joins Josh Hasten to discuss the latest from the war-front and to ask questions: Why is Israel sending humanitarian aid to her enemies during times of war? Why haven’t any Arab or Muslim nations stepped up to take in their brethren from Gaza, as countries normally step up to assist those affected? Will enough clans in Gaza turn against Hamas, now that they see Hamas stealing food, water, fuel etc. for themselves? These questions and many more on today’s podcast.

It seems that, after nearly two months of the Gaza operation, many journalists have become very complacent when it comes to their coverage of the war, and therefore have moved on to other topics.

The Mayor of Paris has revoked a prestigious award given to PA head Mahmoud Abbas over comments he made last week in which he claimed that Jews were murdered in the Holocaust because of their role as money lenders. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten argues that Abbas, a well-known Holocaust denier and terrorist, should have never received the award in the first place. Josh adds that what is worse is that Israel allows this Jew-hater to remain in control of the PA in Judea and Samaria, as he denies the Nazi genocide against the Jews, while at the same time continues to pay terrorist’s salaries for murdering Israelis.
