Peloni:  The question remains as to whether this 11th hour stay on the injunction interfering with the coming election will ultimately see Trump’s Executive Order overseeing mail in voting come into effect in the next 3 months.

The businessman, Bashar Masri, denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

Peloni:  EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called on Israel to withdraw a tender for 1,234 homes in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, saying the project threatens the prospects of a two-state solution by dividing the West Bank and isolating East Jerusalem. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway and other governments have also criticized the plans.  Israeli officials rejected the pressure. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar defended Jewish residency throughout the Land of Israel, while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel would not accept foreign dictates and described E1 construction as a means of preventing a Palestinian state. The United States did not directly oppose the tender but reiterated its opposition to Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria.  The tender is also facing an internal Israeli legal challenge from Peace Now, Ir Amim, Bimkom and Palestinian Bedouin residents, with the state ordered to respond by September 1.  While the US is not blocking the E1 project moving forward, the hurdle of the High Court still looms in the distance.  This remains the most concerning aspect of this pivotal project being realized.

The Altalena was a 1948 French arms ship destined to support the fledgling IDF under the orders of PM Ben Gurion, specifically under the command of Yitzak Rabin, due to the shipment having been arranged with Ben Gurion’s arch enemy, the Irgun’s Menachem Begin.  Presumably, Ben Gurion demanded Begin surrender the ship due to his fears of the Irgun

Israel was right to reject the latest 15-point plan. Not negotiate it away. Not soften it. Reject it. Israel has every right to decide what terms it will accept when its security and survival are at stake.

It is also about America’s credibility, President Donald Trump’s legacy and whether the United States still has the power to make agreements that mean something. Trump has made extraordinary and courageous decisions and we know this historic visionary president will continue to do so.

The methods changed, the language evolved, and the uniforms disappeared—but the ancient hatred found new proxies to do what its predecessors once did openly

There is one crucial difference between the antisemitism of the past and the antisemitism of the present.

The old antisemites could do the killing themselves.
The new ones need subcontractors.

Peloni:  It is hard to contemplate that the IRGC will implode on its own due to economics alone.  There needs to be simultaneous targeted strikes on the IRGC and Basij, their infrastructure and their personnel.  Of course, perhaps the Iranians, themselves, will provoke such a response.

David Brody | All Israel News | Published: August 23, 2026

U.S. President Donald Trump has tried bombs, blockades and diplomacy against Iran. Now comes a potentially devastating new weapon: economic D-Day. There are already signs it may be working. More on that in a moment.

In an op-ed in the Financial Times, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent describes Washington’s current Iran strategy as an “economic D-Day,” detailing a direct comparison to the 1943 Tehran Conference during WWII when Allied leaders planned the Normandy invasion so as to maximize pressure on Nazi Germany. While noting that military action thus far taken has significantly degraded Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, Bessent characterizes what he describes as this final phase of the war as a comprehensive financial offensive specifically designed to completely isolate the regime.

Peloni:  The only slaughter of innocents which the international community sees it the slaughter which is not taking place in Gaza.  The only famine which is still daily cited on news reports around the world is in Gaza where there is and never was any famine.  The only war which occupies the world is the war to eliminate terrorists who document, celebrate and continue attempted replications of actual slaughters of innocents simply because they are Jews.  The world has no shame and they have no dignity.  They are complicit in the crimes of Hamas, the perpetuation of terror across the region and the globe, and in the silence surrounding a very real Christian genocide taking place across Africa and the very real famine taking place within Sudan.  The foul sickness of Jew Hatred fuels this warped obsession and distorted perspectives associated with all matters relating to Israel and Jews.  Of course, you don’t have to be a Jew to recognize this fact as factual, as all that is necessary is the tiniest bit of common decency and a good bit of honesty.

The silence by the international community is devastating just endless condemnation of the Jewish nation defending itself against this very thing – jihad terror.
