Peloni: Interesting conversations regarding the report of Sheikh Jabaari and others wanting to do away with Oslo and the PA. Focus on the segment between 10min and 40min, but the half hour with Dr. Einat Wilf is very interesting as well.

In an important article by Elliot Kaufman in the Wall Street Journal, A New Palestinian Offer for Peace With Israel, a new peace proposal has been put forward by the most influential of Hebron’s clans, Sheik Wadee’ al-Jaabari, as follows:
Peloni: Highly recommended video. This is an encompassing and highly detailed discussion of the reality surrounding the pejorative term of ‘Settler Violence’

Senator Chuck Schumer, who slavishly supports and defends the blighted Democrat Party, the Party riddled with anti-Semites, called today for the removal of Israel’s embattled Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and replace him with a leftist leader who will bow to the abhorrent will of those who have no true love for the Land of Israel or especially for its ancestral and God given heartland of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

Find Israel on a world globe without a magnifying glass, I dare you.
Like some other authors, I’ve also written about what comes next, even though it seems like trying to reinvent the wheel over and over again. Regardless, since the same old double standards keep being applied to Israel, the same old answers (and a few others) have to be repeated over and again as well.

In an important recap of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revelations, journalist Margaret Flavin reports on an audit of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as discussed in a recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Flavin’s article, “Vice President Vance Underscores Reports of Massive Waste and Corruption in Foreign Aid (Video),” posted on Gateway Pundit, June 29, 2025. The results of the audit reveal that only 12% of the money allocated to USAID for aid arrives at its destination! How is this possible?
If you are watching it go down slackjawed, observing the passing scene, knowing that the world has gone bonkers, batsh-t crazy if you will, you are correct.
If you’ve been reading these pages, you already know that what’s up is down, and what’s in is out. You’ll understand that it is not a dystopian world as the left would portray it in their moment of losing it all. It is rather, a painful labor, the rebirth of a golden age and a golden nation descending upon us. The left’s acknowledgement of these facts, having been marinated in their media and propaganda, is immaterial.
Peloni: This is a very worrisome report. Netanyahu has recently stated that Hamas will surrender or be destroyed, but this and other reports suggest a far less resolved commitment towards achieving complete all the war aims, even suggesting that Netanyahu would move towards his Leftist opposition while jettisoning Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

With reports of negotiations advancing toward a ceasefire and a final end to the Gaza War, the Israeli government is once again in turmoil as its right flank has declared its opposition to the reported terms of the potential agreement.

Taped to a pole at Harvard University, “Resist F-Elon Trump at Harvard University”. (By Chad Davis from Minneapolis, United States – Resist F-Elon Trump at Harvard University, CC BY 2.0, Wikipedia)
There are a lot of people now upset with President Donald Trump. They are rioting in the streets in Los Angeles over ICE enforcement actions. Some 12,000 graduates of Harvard have now signed on to an amicus brief defending their school against what they perceive as the devastations of that monster, Trump. Russia and Ukraine remain locked in conflict despite his promise to end that conflagration in a day or so. Ditto for the Middle East; still no peace there either.
Peloni: Securing radicals in suits such as Shaara in positions of dominance to secure peace deals begs the question as to whether the threat from having a unconfirmed, supposedly reformed, Jihadist on Israel’s northern flank is worth the potential of his turn from the dark side being sincere. Notably as he used Turkey to gain control of Syria, is he just using the Americans to consolidate power in Syria? Changing ideologies and political backers seems to be as nuanced to him as his change of name from Jolani to Shaara. Hence, the question remains, whether Jolani-turned-Shaara will find his true North to be Jihadism or moderation when he finds he no longer needs to play the chameleon to suit his political needs. Tomorrow’s misfortune is being planted in today’s political soil. Moderates, not an Oslo-like wannabe, is the character of men which should be chosen to lead the region to a more passive future. Planting radicals inside the wire of the Abraham Accords will only serve to undermine the safety and security of the coming generation, as took place under the Oslo framework. Terrorists such as Jolani do not deserve our trust, and his actions since coming to power have certainly not lent themselves to suggesting otherwise. The innocent will fill the butcher’s bill of making an Oslo like mistake out of an interest of political convenience today.

By strengthening ties with Israel, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is essentially trying to reduce Turkish influence in Damascus, Tel Aviv University’s Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies’s Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak told Maariv on Wednesday.

When we hear claims of the IDF controlling “65%” of Gaza it seems like a lot? Until you realize it’s mostly open areas and suburbs that were already captured and cleared a year ago. Most urban areas are controlled by Hamas, including the central camps and Gaza city; and they have mostly been controlled by Hamas for 21 months of war, 636 days.

The need for this balancing act is a simple fact of life. But our current situation has thrown this reality into sharp relief.
On June 24th, after 12 days of fighting, our war with Iran ended. Or, perhaps more accurately, it “sort of” ended: In the opinion of many, the ending was premature. Trump declared a ceasefire while our planes were in the air headed for an attack on Iranian military targets – an attack that never took place.
Peloni: Lessons by which success and survival are pursued.
Like the 1967 Six-Day War, the conflict with Iran relied heavily on air power, surprise, denial and deception.

A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber returns to Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., after completing a forward deployment to Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory, May 9, 2025. The deployment, which lasted several weeks, was part of a routine Bomber Task Force mission designed to project U.S. global power and strengthen partnerships with regional allies. While stationed at Diego Garcia, the B-2 and its supporting aircrew conducted strategic deterrence missions, long-range training sorties and integration exercises with joint and coalition forces.

All warfare is based on deception. Offer the enemy a bait to lure him. … Be seen in the West and march out of the East; lure him in the North and strike him in the South. Drive him crazy and bewilder him so that he disperses his forces in confusion.
An indifference that allows Jew-hate to grow in the dark.

The civil rights scholar Kenneth Marcus has just appeared before a Congressional committee hearing on “America’s Battle Against Antisemitic Terror.” His testimony on the seemingly inexorable rise of violent antisemitism across the land is blood-curdling. More about Marcus, and his plea for congressional action, together with chilling examples of antisemitism, can be found here: “Jewish Civil Rights Scholar Urges US Congress to Respond to Antisemitism Crisis,” by Dion J. Pierre, Algemeiner, June 27, 2025:
Peloni: This is an important article. Ukraine has always faced an impossible future as it has no path towards victory due to its deficiencies in men, morale & munitions, yet it has a govt which will settle for nothing less than complete victory. This latter point has driven Ukraine to tempt fate, before February 2022 and ever since. Of course, Bryen’s proposals are good starting points from which Trump might gain some interest from Putin, but the threats which prevented Zelensky from pursuing a more moderate course throughout his presidency has not been abated, making any effort towards, or in compliance with, Bryen’s proposals quite hazardous to consider. As Ukraine is approaching its last act in the days, weeks, or months to come, it will take real courage from a real leader to save Ukraine from its current path of destruction, and if Zelensky had such courage and skill to make such choices, we would have to ask why we are where we are today.

The recent massive bombings on Ukrainian territory and advances by the Russian army are harbingers of the end game that will befall Ukraine unless that country can find a way out. One solution is to make Ukraine a flexible actor, meaning to insulate Zelensky. The best way to do that is a coalition government to carry the burden of negotiations with Russia.
Peloni: Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss many topics in this episode, including the attempt of the Israeli Left to re-imagine itself once again, the developing situation with an upset within the Judiciary, what is going on in Gaza and of course the latest trip by PM Netanyahu to Washington. You won’t want to miss this one.
Peloni: An important analysis which looks at US interests as the driving force for what should be US policy in preventing the creation of another Palestinian Arab state.
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | July 3, 2025
The US position on the proposed Palestinian state – just like on any other issue – should be driven by US interests, and not by pro-Israel or pro-Arab sentiments, nor by an honest broker state of mind.
Would a Palestinian state advance, or undermine, US interests?
