For The First Time Ever, President Sisi Legitimises The “Resistance”  

Cairo’s Isolation Reaches a Tectonic Shift as President Sisi Legitimises Armed Struggle

Khaled Hassan | The Grand Strategy | Jul 01, 2025

In a televised, pre-recorded address marking the 12th anniversary of Egypt’s 30 June revolution against the Muslim Brotherhood rule of Egypt, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi crossed a red line he had steadfastly avoided for 11 years, since he assumed office in 2014: he formally legitimised armed “resistance” against Israel. But to grasp the seismic nature of this shift, we must first contextualise his desperation.

“The continuation of war and occupation won’t produce peace, but feeds a cycle of hatred, and violence, and opens the doors of vengeance and resistance which will not be shut. So, enough violence, and killing, and hatred, and enough occupation and forced relocation, and homelessness.”

Here’s What The Senate Changed In The ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill  

Peloni:  Senate changes to the BBB succeeded in removing the moratorium on State level oversight of AI, but there is no mention of the land grabs, terrorist exemptions for terrorist organizations or tax on tips, so many of the worms remain which were described in  THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HAS WORMS IN IT.  As the bill moves back to the House, it presents the opportunity for further revisions as well as additional additions…

The Senate passed President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” on Tuesday morning, but only after senators spent hours negotiating changes to the near-1,000 page sweeping budget legislation.

Will US back Israeli preemptive actions?  

Will the US support Israel’s new post-October 7 doctrine of preemption and deterrence, or will Washington revert to urging Israeli restraint once ceasefires are established?

By Eric Mandel | July 1, 2025

John Spencer, head of West Point’s Urban Warfare Institute, wrote that the US and Israel “achieved overwhelming success at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels… shatter[ing] the myth of Iran’s invulnerability.” Yet, as The Wall Street Journal observed, despite the blow to the “pillars of Iran’s theocracy, the regime remains intact – wounded but capable of regrouping in more dangerous and unpredictable ways.”

The Great President Trump’s Worst, Terrible, Bad Idea Ever

  • Qatar’s job, if it is part of a consortium controlling the Gaza Strip, will be to make sure that the jihad against Israel continues.
  • If Egypt is in any way involved in securing the Gaza Strip, it is certain there will be renewed smuggling of weapons and terrorists into Israel through and under the Rafah Crossing. The weapons-and-terrorists industry has always been far too profitable and far too successful at attacking Israel just to give up.

This is what Netanyahu should be saying….  

Peloni:  Avi’s recommendations to Netanyahu are a must read!  This is the path towards peace, and away from the next slaughter.  The destiny of the region will be determined by what takes place in Washington in the next few days, presuming the terms are still yet to be determined, and ignoring any aspect of the reasonable and necessary elements of stability which are detailed below will result in a crushing blow to the future.  Remember that peace thru strength means that the strong choose the terms.

Avi Abelow

SYNOPSIS – GAZA
As Prime Minister Netanyahu will be meeting President Trump next week, this is what Netanyahu should be saying….

With victory over Hamas within reach, Netanyahu must resist pressure from the defense establishment urging him to stop short and strike a deal that would keep Hamas alive.

PM Netanyahu set to visit White House next week amid critical discussions over future of Gaza War  

US ups pressure on Israel and Hamas, but no breakthrough in sight

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the White House in Washington, D.C. on July 7, for his third meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump this year, Israeli and U.S. officials told media outlets.

The trip will come exactly two weeks after Israel and Iran agreed to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire to stop a 12-day Israeli air campaign, which was topped off by U.S. strikes that destroyed the Iranian nuclear program.

Let’s Talk about ‘Proportionality’  

Peloni:  Great response to Leftist idiocy founded on antisemitism!

By Joan Swirsky | Am Thinker | July 1, 2025

Not long ago, I ran into a long-lost acquaintance who always assumed — always incorrectly — that I was simpatico with her leftist leanings.  Maybe it was my long hair or dangling earrings or that I liked to listen to Joe Cocker.

Gaza: The Palestinian Authority Is Not the Answer    

Peloni:  The Palestinian Authority is an American equity, masquerading as a security enterprise which expenses its vast resources towards awarding vast sums to the families of those who slaughter innocent Jews, specifically and exclusively because their butchered victims are Jews.  Pay for Slay is a fundamental policy of the PA, and any attempt to increase their authority is a betrayal of the brutal slaughter of both American and Israeli citizens who have been murdered as a consequence of this terror organization hiding in plain view.  Expanding their authority in any respect is as poorly considered as was allowing Hamas to take over Gaza twenty some years ago.

By Moshe Phillips

“Arab states have repeatedly asserted that they will not take part in the postwar rehabilitation of Gaza absent Israeli acquiescence to the Palestinian Authority gaining a foothold in the Strip as part of a pathway to a future two-state solution,” The Times of Israel reported on June 27.

It took years of planning, mainly by the Mossad, for the IDF to pull off its remarkable attack on Iran, greatly damaging or destroying nuclear facilities at Isfahan and Natanz, destroying military bases at Tabriz and Hamadan, assassinating at least a dozen of the most senior generals in both the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Iranian army, blowing up on the ground Iran’s remaining fleet of F-4 “Tomcats,” killing the nine most important nuclear scientists at the very same moment in time, even though they were spread out across Tehran. More on this planning can be found here: “Israel’s spy agency used AI and smuggled-in drones to prepare attack on Iran,” by Julia Frankel and Sam Mednick, AP, June 17, 2025:

Israel Paves a Path  

Peloni:  This is an important article!  Developing a symbiotic cooperation between Israel and the Diaspora Jewish communities can replace the sense of defenselessness and vulnerability with the independence and control over their own lives, which can be supported by alliances with and in cooperation with other organizations and institutions, thus emulating the model of the US-Israeli cooperation in the recent war in which Israel maintained control over her own defenses.

The diaspora should follow

On June 21, 2025, the United States and Israel deepened their historic partnership, as American warplanes struck Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a decisive blow against barbarism.
