Peloni:  Another very bad decision for America, Americans, and Americanism…  Is there no greater authority than the insanity guiding America’s Supreme Court?  There is no basis in law, history or reason to birth foreign nationals with the rights, privileges and responsibilities of the American Republic.  The internationalization process as Pamela Geller describes so well as Birthright Tourism is now law of the land in America, diluting the national sovereignty of the American nation, and the further undoing of American enfranchisement.

Jacob Siegela’s brand new book focuses on how rulers and elites use digital tools to calibrate information and control the masses.

Janet Levy | Am Thinker |June 30, 2026

In his many articles for Tablet and other outlets, Jacob Siegel, a journalist and war veteran, has focused on how rulers and elites use digital tools to calibrate information and control people. His new book, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control, traces the evolution—from 9/11 to the advent of AI—of a mammoth alliance between government and Big Tech that subverts our constitutional republic and enslaves Americans.

Peloni: It is interesting to see how “Peace in Our Time” keeps changing from a very bad deal to an even worse very bad deal.  The refusal to allow an end to the war in Gaza has now led to the capitulation on the very point on which the war in Gaza was begun: the elimination of Hamas as an armed and ruling entity.  While funding of Iran has resumed at an exponential pace, Washington’s new policy betrayal in Gaza would leave the same butchers of October 7 in control there, and would allow the entire fiasco leading upto October 7 to play out all over again.  Tolerating enemies capable of making war on the Israeli people is what led to October 7.  This insanity must not be allowed to continue.  The Old Conceptzia must finally be ended, and Washington must be reminded of the commitments which it agreed to as prerequisites in its own stated plans for Gaza which included the elimination of Hamas if it did not disarm within 36hrs.  Well, its been 8 months since that deadline expired and Washington’s Peace Processors have come to the conclusion that the quintessential element of the 20 Point plan should be ignored so as to not spoil the ruse of having once again achieved Peace in the Middle East.  Netanyahu must stand firm in opposing this outrageous proposal which once again places the whims of the Peace Processors far above the security demands of the Israeli people.

Israeli journalists Elior Levy and RoiKais released a report detailing a requested change in the framework of Trump’s 20 Point Plan which is now enshrined in UN Security Resolution 2803.  The requested changes include the following proposals for Israel, Hamas and the Technocratic govt in Gaza:

Peloni:  In politics and geopolitics, realities change, and so too do alliances.  Is that what we are witnessing with Trump and Iran today?  Has Trump come full circle to embrace the Iranians as Obama did before him?  What would the business Tycoon of a decade ago advise himself today about the folly of supporting a terror regime, of stabilizing its survival at the cost of isolating allies in coordination with those who are still calling for the subjugation and conquest of America?

President Donald Trump is justifying his capitulation to Iran by pointing to the stock market surge and the drop in oil prices, proving once again that economic interests dictate American policy. Washington has often preferred energy from the Gulf over its allies. We must internalize the bitter truth that there are limits to America’s commitment to us, and prepare accordingly

Since US President Donald Trump signed the agreement with Iran that will bring the war to an end without achieving any of the goals he had set for himself, and worse, an agreement that strengthens the Iranian regime and grants Tehran the status of a regional power it never had before, Trump has repeatedly justified his surrender to the Iranians by saying that he did not want a “global economic catastrophe,” and that because of the agreement, the stock market in New York “soared like a rocket” and oil prices fell dramatically.

Peloni: We are told that the era of the old pre October 7 Conceptzia is dead, that lessons learned from the cauldrons of tragedy on October 7 and the long road since that terrible day will prevent the return to October 6, and thereby prevent a similar slaughter in the future.  Yet, is this what we are witnessing taking place today?  Is today’s policy of feeding Iran with access to billions in cash different from feeding Hamas with billions in cash which led to October 7?  I think the consequences of keeping our enemies alive represents a serious threat to the survival of the Israeli people, but also to the survival of Western civilization.

Of course, support from and for Washington’s hand on the lever deciding regional policy was always a motivating factor in what led to the formation of the October 6 Conceptzia, and such a dependency for and offshoring of Israel’s national interests seems to still be well vested in the current dilemma in which new revenue streams are being provided to an even more menacing terror entity in Iran than existed in Gaza.  Hence, such realizations beg the question, how is what is taking place today in Iran different from what led to October 6?

Is the new Conceptzia being acted upon today really different from the old Conceptzia which we were led to believe was dead?  We live in an age of miracles, where a tiny nation stand strong against the 8-front war being waged against us.  Yet, will the most pivotal miracle of all be encapsulated in the reality that keeping our enemies alive to serve foreign interests is the guiding principle which ties the Old Conceptzia to what replaced it?

Janet Levy:  This month, the Trump State Department issued a report declaring the Republic of Somaliland a region of the lawless, Islamic terrorist state of Somalia, handing a strategic victory to Erdogan.

Somaliland, a former British colony, gained independence in June 1960. A few days later, it joined Somalia, which had been an Italian colony. After the brutal dictatorship of Muhammad Siad Barre and the collapse of the state, Somaliland declared its independence as the Republic of Somaliland. Over the past 35 years, it has been a democracy with free elections and the rule of law. It has its own bicameral parliament, a military, and a currency.

In December, Israel was the first country to recognize Somaliland. Trump mocked Israel’s action by affirming that the U.S. would not recognize the country and asking, “Does anyone know what Somaliland is, really?”

Peloni:  The deal to negotiate a deal has no chance of brokering any deal.  What it does make absolutely certain, however, is that the Mullahs and the IRGC will be significantly more wealthy when the deal falls apart, and more capable of responding militarily to the US when this eventually does occur.  The only advantage gained in lieu of this geopolitical debacle is time, political convenience, and hopefully only a delay before the final battle ends the charade of America returning to resurrect its policy of weakness at the feet of the Ayatollahs.

July 1976 was supposed to be a year of celebration as America marked 200 years of independence beneath exploding fireworks and waving flags. But while the world watched the bicentennial festivities, Israeli commandos were preparing for a midnight raid on Entebbe Airport in Uganda. They were on a hostage rescue mission led by Yonatan (“Yoni”) Netanyahu, who would not survive the rescue that he made legendary.

Peloni:  We Jews have many rights to the land of Israel.  Indigenous rights, ancestral rights, historical rights and Biblical rights among others, but the only basis which we can expect others to acknowledge entirely without debate is our legal rights to the land, which secures our rights in common recognition to the basis on which other nation states have been founded.  And of course, as Dr. Alex Grobman explains so well, this is why our enemies work so hard to ignore the importance of what was achieved at San Remo.  The obvious question arises as to why we ourselves do not make this point more often, at the diplomatic and international level?  Indeed, when was the last time we heard this pivotal element of history and international law referenced on the world stage by PM Netanyahu or is ministers?  To be certain, we have heard it referenced By Min. Ben Gvir, and yet, his portfolio is restrained to a diminished control over the internal policing of the state.   Hence, such ignorance of reality, truth, history and law is not just the fault of our enemies, but of ourselves for not standing on this firm foundation on which the recognition of the reconstitution, and thereby our other rights, to the land of Israel was secured more than a century ago.  It has been long enough.  This is the battle which we need to fight, and routinely referencing the victory won at San Remo is how we can actually win it.

At San Remo in 1920, the Arabs were not dispossessed of a state in Palestine. There was none. They were granted multiple states across the region. The Jews, by contrast, were allocated one small territory-their historic homeland. Historical review.

The claim that the United States created Israel overlooks the foundational legal and diplomatic history of the modern Middle East, which was actually shaped by the global community through European powers. In April 1920, in the aftermath of World War I, the victorious Allied powers-Britain, France, Italy, and Japan-met in San Remo, Italy, to redraw the map of the collapsed Ottoman Empire.

Peloni:  Regional stability will benefit whenever Iranian colonialism is diminished without replacing it by some other colonialist enterprise such as that of Turkey.  By eliminating Iran’s control over Southern Lebanon, it isolates Iran’s control there while still preventing Turkish control from moving in, something which was sadly not possible with regards to what took place in Syria which still lacks stability due to Turkey’s Islamist puppet Jolani ruling there.  While what is taking shape in Southern Lebanon is NOT peace, it is an improved model of coordination between Israel and Lebanon, so long as Israel is not once again forced to withdraw.

Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE, said he sees the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel as a step to restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Peloni:  Meanwhile, Turkey uses its close association with Israel’s Azerbaijani ally to request reconsideration of the recognition of Armenian Genocide.  The full Knesset vote is still pending, so we will see what comes from this request, but the govt has the means to pass this measure without any support from the opposition, which will be hard pressed to vote against it in any event.  The farce of ignoring the ethnic cleansing, which is a better description than genocide, of Armenians and Greeks by the Turks is too comical to ignore.  There was once a geopolitical basis for doing so in the past, but recent events have changed the context for maintaining the charade of ignorance about the events which took place over the course of a decade against these minority populations, more than a century ago.

When historians assess the turbulent period between 2023 and 2026, they will inevitably grapple with Mr Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial yet consequential premiership during one of the Middle East’s most volatile chapters. As someone who grew up in Jordan, who witnessed my own grandfather’s generation struggle against colonial powers only to watch subsequent Arab leadership squander opportunities for genuine progress, and their complete defeat, I approach Mr Netanyahu’s strategic doctrine with the skepticism of experience and the honesty that comes from having abandoned ideological certainties. My journey from defending political Islam in debates I ultimately lost to embracing non Islamic rationalism has taught me that geopolitical realities matter more than rhetorical postures.
