Peloni:  Since when is fighting terrorism out of season?  America has a poor appetite for eliminating those who kill their citizens.  This is why so many members of Hezbollah who were eliminated by Israel over the past two years had outstanding warrants for their involvement in the 1982 Beirut Bombing which killed 241 Americans back in 1983.  Barbarians such as these should not be allowed to grow old, and if they do grow old, they should not be allowed to die from old age.  I recall Trump’s first term was marked for calls of an end to tolerating state sponsored terrorism.  It appears his second term is to be marked for a reversal of this standard.  What changed?

The other day, the IDF killed Ra’ad Sa’ad, one of the chief architects of the atrocities that Hamas carried out on October 7, 2023, and the last of the senior planners still alive. He was deeply involved with rearming Hamas in violation of the Trump Peace Plan. Ever since the ceasefire went into effect, Hamas has been intermittently attacking Israeli targets. Most recently, an IED laid by Hamas operatives wounded two IDF soldiers. This was the proximate cause for the IDF to take out Sa’ad, which it did with a pinpoint strike that hit only the car he was riding in, killing him and two of his guards, but did no other damage.

Peloni:  The butchers of October 7, like all terrorists, should be understood to be a threat to society, and this is actually the very basis of their calling.  Providing them with the means to pursue their goals thru manipulation of legal nuances which always have an international influence is far too great a gift to offer them.  I recall the term “Victor’s Justice” which has gained an unpopular and illicit connotation, but the reality is that this is what the butchers of October 7 earned, it was what the Nazi’s at Nuremberg earned, and it is what Adolf Eichmann earned.  As we grant terrorists and war criminals the garbs of criminal redress, we offer them a platform to which they are unwarranted and which only empowers those who should instead be shown to have no power at all.  The use of civilian niceties in dealing with war criminals disguises the fact that the war criminals have no right to claim civilian defenses, no right to juris prudence, and no basis upon which to appeal to the sensitivities of those they would massacre.  Pretenses of the civilized world needing to extend legal protections to mass murderers whose aim is the overthrow of society only permits these aims to be further advanced.

Peloni:  Why is it that the only justice which seems to be found of late comes from reportedly self inflicted wounds?

It is curious why it took so long for the suspect to be identified since his fingerprints were found on the shell casings at the scene of the Brown University campus, where the only surveillance video captured was terribly obscured, despite reports of there being some 800 cameras present on the campus.  Meanwhile, as the FBI Director and POTUS both misidentify the culprit, he remains free for nearly a week after the event, only to be found silenced forever by his own hand…It only gets more and more curious doesn’t it.

Jude and Samaria, moreover, is legally Jewish land. A series of binding international agreements -the San Remo Resolution, League of Nations Covenant, British Mandate, Lodge Fish, UN Chartered Article 80 – recognize the Jewish people’s connection to the land and guarantee the land of Israel under international law, including Judea and Samaria, to the Jewish people. UN resolutions that contradict the UN charter are absolutely legally void.

Peloni:  PM-hopeful and former PM Naftali Bennet initially denied that his phone had been hacked only to later admit it while still equivocating over the degree of the hack as being just of his Telegram account.  The import of this is that Bennett is hoping to become the odds on favorite to unseat Netanyahu in the next election, and while I disagree with a claim in the video below that this will end Bennett’s candidacy, questions about both the hack and Bennett’s lack of frankness about what happened will no doubt follow him from now til election day.  The latter of these issues is likely to be a greater vulnerability for Bennett due to his lack of fidelity with commitments made prior to the election which saw him sit with both the Arab party, Raam, (the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel) and all of the Leftist parties.

Peloni:  Khaled Hasssan, a National Security & Foreign Policy Expert, provides a comprehensive analysis on the Israeli-Egyptian gas deal.  This deal wasted an important strategical advantage which Israel had and which Egypt needed to appease Trumps demand to advance the deal, but what was perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this deal was the fact that Sisi was able to manipulate Trump into stripping Israel of its leverage over Israel while gaining absolutely nothing in return.  By doing so, not only did Trump empower the belligerent and increasingly hawkish Sisi, he did so while weakening America’s key ally in the region and thus simultaneously weakened America as well.

Peloni:  Israel has been elevated from its restricted “yellow list” status during the Biden administration to join an elite group of nations described as the Pax Silica coalition, a strategic alliance of ten trusted nations focused on securing the global AI supply chain under the Trump administration.  As part of this coalition, Israel is granted access to an unrestricted flow of AI components, research, data centers, and infrastructure, indicating a marked shift from previous limitations which restricted Israel’s access and involvement in the critical technologies research of AI. Israel now stands at the center of the AI infrastructure R&D, boosting its already elevated high-tech economy to new heights thus attracting further investment. This elevation of Israel’s involvement in AI signifies deepening U.S.-Israel tech ties over the past year.

Trump’s Pax Silica pact reshapes Israel’s technological and economic future.

Peloni:  Below is the outline of a plan discussed two months ago which claims to describe what has been agreed upon by the relevant parties, and upon which the Trump 20 point plan is based.  Yossi Baum is an Israeli researcher and online journalist who has broken many important stories over the years, including many reports connected to Netanyahu’s trials, the disastrous Lapid-Bennett gas swindle back in 2022, among many other important breaking stories.  More relevantly, Yossi offered notice of Trump’s support for his Gaza migration plan months in advance of it being made known to the public.  Since writing the story below, Yossi has stated that this plan is not only already agreed upon by the relevant parties, but it has also been signed.

On a related topic, Yossi has indicated that there will be no Turks or Qatari’s in the ISF force, and instead they will gain a cut of the proceeds which come from the rollout of the plan.  Additionally, as described below, he explains that Hamas will not be permitted to remain in power and that it was always understood that Israel alone could remove them.

Notably, Netanyahu has indicated that there are many more important benefits to come following the inking of the gas deal.   So, are the benefits he was indicating those described in the report below?

When the history books are written will Canada be seen to stand with freedom-respecting nations or with totalitarian Islamist terrorists?  Anyone who promotes a Palestinian state is in fact standing with Jihad and murder.   It is clear that Canadian young people, like the Australians are being mis-educated and the media is confused about the history of Israeli offers of land for a Palestinian statehood – which were met with increased terrorism as the jihadists were encouraged that they were getting closer to their genocidal goals.Prime Minister Carney some months ago joined with France and Great Britain to recognize a Palestinian state, even though such a state would be, as in Gaza, a terror state pledged to destroy Israel,and murder the Jews in their one small liberal democracy surrounded by Islamists.

The truth is that the gas deal could have been an important victory for Israel, for Egypt and for the US, but the reality which came to be paints a far less rosy picture than what could have been achieved.

Peloni:  Trump’s new strategy for the midterms:  Trump will lead the election effort.  An important context of the election rhetoric in this speech is Trump’s resolved conclusion that Iran’s nuclear program is completely destroyed and that he has brought peace to the Middle East.  While both of these facts are clearly inaccurate, the fantasy will have to hold thru the 2026 election cycle to prevent the president having to explain how peace in the Middle East includes the continuation of war which is needed to secure that peace.  Notably, both Gaza and Lebanon are heating up as we speak, raising an important conflict for the Trump administration as their long held desires of negotiating terrorists to become good civilians finally proves to be little more than delusional facades of providing the terrorists the ability to regroup, rearm and resupply for the next fight.
