The Arab revolt against Hamas: Israel’s golden opportunity?

“Our Middle East: An Insider’s View,” Ep. 30

Israeli Arabs have been brought closer to Jews because of the atrocities of Oct. 7, wanting to disassociate themselves from the cruelty and what they see as the un-Islamic behavior of Hamas. Does this present an opportunity to bring Israeli Arabs and Gaza Palestinians closer to Israel?

Cohosts Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh discuss the destruction of Gaza, and as it unfolds, how more and more Arabs are vocally coming out against Hamas on social media and television. They also talk about how the Israeli government should embrace and invest in Israeli-Arab infrastructure and full societal, economic and security integration.

And also, for the sake of peace, the international community should support Israel in its quest to destroy the Hamas terrorist organization.

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award-winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is a senior distinguished fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
The New Haven Police Department told JNS that Paul Smith is accused of targeting three Jews, shoving a fourth person who tried to intervene, throwing a rolled-up newspaper at them and of having “pointed at the yarmulke one of the victims was wearing and slapped it off his head, causing it to fall on the ground.”
“Equal protection under the law demands consistency, not selective application,” Jayne Zirkle of EndJewHatred told JNS.
“Those who seek to advance the objectives of foreign terrorist organizations should expect a swift and coordinated response from federal law enforcement,” stated the U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
