How a Palestinian multi-millionaire allegedly aided Hamas in Gaza and is avoiding justice.
An unnamed senior US government official has pressured the families of victims of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror invasion to drop a lawsuit against a prominent Palestinian-American businessman who is accused of allowing the terror group to use his properties, according to a court filing last month.
The businessman, Bashar Masri, denies all allegations of wrongdoing.

EU demands Israel cancel planned construction near Jerusalem
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.

Tel Aviv Altlana Description: The ship Altlana catches fire off the coast of Tel Aviv. Wikipedia
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

Morton Klein’s USA Today Op-Ed — Israel Was Right to Reject the Dangerous 15-Point Plan
Morton Klein | ZOA in the news | August 24, 2026
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 New Nazis: The Jews Learned to Shoot Back, So the Haters Learned to Outsource
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
Victor Satya | Aug 21, 2026
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.

Trump’s economic D-Day: Can he bankrupt Iran into regime collapse?
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.

Bessent’s Formal Declaration of Economic War on Iranian Regime and All Who Might Enable Its Survival

Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent. Screeenshot via Youtube.
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.

Muslim Terrorists Slaughter and Kidnap Dozens for ‘Not Practicing the True Teachings of Islam’ During Friday Prayer
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.
By Pamela Geller |
The silence by the international community is devastating just endless condemnation of the Jewish nation defending itself against this very thing – jihad terror.

Mark opens his Saturday, August 23 show with a look at the state of America and presents a positive outlook going into the midterms. He ends his show with an interview with John Woo, the former clerk for SCOTUS Justice Thomas, about the open assault on the constitution of the United States. Yet, Mark’s interview with his first guest, Dr. Sheila Nazarian was perhaps the more compelling segment of the show.

An India-Israel Corridor Is the Biggest Middle East Story Nobody Is Talking About
Janet Levy: There are antisemitic overtones here – “if Israel plays it smart” as if it failed to do so up to this point post October 7th AND “if the Israelis elect a moderate government,” as if Bibi needs to be replaced, perhaps for someone who doesn’t hold Israel’s security needs as such a high priority.
Peloni: Focusing on security and military dominance, not trade, is what will perpetuate Israel into the future. In fact, electing a ‘moderate govt’ willing to support concessions in pursuit of the IMEC will lead to regional instabilities which will see the IMEC fail in any event. Note that the reason that the war precipitated the establishment of the IMEC in the past three years is precisely due to successive govts willing to make and live with security concessions. Israel doesn’t need a moderate govt. It needs a capable one, and if this is achieved, whatever comes next, Israel’s presence and regional dominance will leave it with a position of strength and capabilities which will see Israel isolated, but as an integral component of the region.

The Reckless Illusion of a Trans-Pacific Pivot
Peloni: Canada needs to seek leadership which is capable, focused, reasonable and Canada-centric. Unfortunately for everyone except China, Trump’s rhetoric during the last Canadian election helped steer Carney to victory, and with him, China has had a permanent role in Canada’s governance as a result.

Israel Is Finally Treating Gaza’s “Small” Jihadi Acts Like the Acts of War That They Are
Peloni: There can be no toleration for threats being waged against Israel. Such restraint in the face of acts of terror and war were the hallmarks of the October 6 Conceptzia. There can be no return to October 6, if for no other reason than that there will be little chance of surviving the next October 7.

US Ambassador to Turkey says Israel tried to ‘bait’ the country into conflict ahead of elections
Peloni: As Amb. Tom Barrack represents to the world the position of Turkey regarding the Golan Heights, rather than the govt of the United States for which he is actually serving, it exposes a real conflict of interest for the Ambassador whose alignment with Turkey appears to be paramount. Senator Rick Scott suggests that Barrack forgot to do his homework, but the great concern might be that he is simply about which govt he is actually representing.
