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.

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.
