Twenty years ago exactly, Israel began its disengagement from the Gaza Strip. Every last civilian and soldier would leave the enclave, though evidence of the Jewish communities would remain in the form of greenhouses, roads, and other infrastructure that was gifted to the Palestinians as they began their first serious experiment in independent self-rule.

A majority of Western leaders clearly refuse to exercise integrity when it concerns the Palestinian issue. Only leaders completely sold out to extremist ideologies would persist in pushing a proposal so far detached from reality and so harmful to many people — starting with the atrociously governed Palestinians — that it is almost beyond comprehension. “Are these people wicked or just very, very stupid?”, asks columnist Melanie Phillips. A valid question indeed. Pictured: 16/06/2025. Kananaskis, Canada.

This morning, the most destructive protest movement in Israeli society reemerged on the streets.
What’s really going on?
Once again, a tiny group of people are causing harm to the whole country and the hostages. (See picture below)
These demonstrations, held under the banner of supporting the hostages, are in reality a left-wing political campaign aimed at toppling the government.

In my January 30, 2022 article, “A Short History of Medicine and Megalomania,” I explain how holistic medicine is actually the original western medicine established on the principle of strengthening the immune system to fight off pathogens in the environment. It is traditional western medicine that is the alternative medicine because its fundamental premise is that medications are required to be healthy:
My point is that the chemical/pharmaceutical companies are pouring toxic chemicals into the environment that destroy public health -> then the chemical/pharmaceutical companies offer more chemicals and pharmaceuticals to “cure” what they caused in the first place. It is a never-ending cycle of destruction of public health. The United States is at the bottom of the totem pole in world health because the American medical community is driven by unscrupulous globalists and the corrupt politicians who serve them.

Aharon Haliva, who served as IDF Intelligence Chief during Oct. 7, 2023, spoke in-depth for the first time about the lead-up to the catastrophe, intelligence failures and the army’s response, and his responsibility for it all, in a series of leaked recordings published on Channel 12 News on Friday.
Peloni: There was never any advantage to be had in pursuing a ceasefire for Russia. Yet, Zelensky will find it difficult (read as impossible) to accept any final settlement, as I noted previously. Time will tell.
Importantly, it is now being reported that Trump backs Putin’s proposal for Russia to take full control of Donbas region in Ukraine while with possible freeze along front lines in other areas. Meanwhile, Europe seems to be pushing for more of the past three years, so no surprise there.
Washington Abandons Support for a Ceasefire

If you read the headlines in American and European newspapers you would conclude that the Alaska Summit failed.
It did not. Washington changed direction and abandoned its support for a ceasefire.
Peloni: This is an important video. It explains why everything went wrong after the reconstitution of the state of Israel, and why the current war is falling for the same false narrative as it is focused on defeating Hamas rather than defeating the Palestinianism ideology.

I recently rewatched “Exodus:Gods and Kings” starring Christian Bale, Sigourney Weaver, & Joel Edgerton in some of the starring roles.
Peloni: Ok, the ball is now in Zelensky’s corner. At this point it will be difficult for him to move towards or away from continuing the war, so look for something out of left field to prevent him having to make the choice…but time will tell.

President Donald Trump said Friday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet.

Newly declassified Top Secret emails sent on December 22, 2016 complying with President Obama’s order to create the manufactured January 2017 ICA about Russia expose how DNI James Clapper demanded the IC fall in line behind the Russia Hoax. Clapper admits that it was a “team sport” that required “compromise on our ‘normal modalities’”.

As many Iranians blame the regime’s policies for deepening the country’s water crisis, which “[threatens] millions of residents,” Israel is seizing the moment to voice support for the Iranian public and encourage regime change.
In an August 12 televised speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to offer water desalination technology to Iranians while calling on the people to “take to the streets [against the regime],” adding that “Israel stands with you.” Israeli Minister of Science and Technology Gila Gamliel echoed the remarks that day and hinted at a regime collapse, writing, “Next year in a free Tehran!”
Peloni: Highly recommended article. In the following essay, Leonard Grunstein reminds the world of the legal framework upon which the state of Israel was reconstituted with the consent and support of the world enshrined in international law, and which remain binding to this day. Providing a highly granular description of the documents documents and covenants, Grunstein highlights the proper arguments which should be raised in recognition of Israel’s sovereignty and her integral international rights before the world. In a single voice, this is what should be spoken of by PM Netanyahu, FM Sa’ar, Finance Minister Smotrich and others when both defending those rights, as well as implementing policies which secure those rights. These are also the arguments which should be raised to challenge and defeat the illicitly illegal attempts to create a new Arab state the basis on which is entirely undone by the legal arguments, documents and treaties discussed in this essay below. As the title states, Israel’s Sovereignty Cannot be Denied. Please share widely.

Delegates to the San Remo conference in Italy, 25 April 1920. By Unknown author – eipa.eu.com, Public Domain, Wikipedia
France, the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and Australia (collectively, the Perfidious Quartet) would violate international agreements to which they are bound, if they unilaterally recognize a so-called Palestinian state within the area of Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. These are boundaries delineated in the 1920 San Remo Resolution, unanimously confirmed by the League of Nations in 1922. In addition, the UK would be violating the 1924 Anglo-American Convention with the US.

Latest Developments
Peloni: Using Russia’s BRICS partners/customers against Russia provides the US with an important demonstration of leverage over Russia, with an implied threat against China as well. As these sanctions are weaponizing Russia’s trading partners against Russia, so too, the same measures might be applied against China, with arguably greater strength.

China is pushing back strongly against U.S. attempts to restrict their importing of oil from Russia and Iran, exposing a key weakness for Beijing in trade negotiations.
Peloni: This conversation between Liel Liebovitz and Jonathan Tobin is a must see video. Liel provides an optimistic perspective for both Israel and the Diaspora, in the long term, which few have voiced. Such optimistic outlooks are important to keep in mind as the war in Gaza and the war against the Jewish people more globally persists. Very interesting conversation.
Madeline Brooks: Jonathan Tobin’s guest, Liel Liebovitz, describes the Israeli left’s “drunken” rage against Bibi drowning out reason; Israeli soldiers understand that Gaza must be destroyed while the generals want to play nice with the international community.
What excites me the most about this video is his logical explanation of how Gaza must be humiliated and its land taken to get them beaten, and make Israel (and international Jewry) safe. I just would like him to go fruther than saying they must be relocated. No. They must be done to as has been done to every other enemy army.

Nine months after Bashar al-Assad’s fall and Ahmad al-Sharaa’s rise to power, the UN Security Council met to address Syria’s ongoing crisis. The Council urged Damascus to establish a government “of the Syrians, by the Syrians, for the Syrians.” Despite the change in leadership, the Security Council views Syria as a failing state. Damascus must implement UNSCR 2254 and dismantle the Islamist monopoly on power.
History shows that without a major power enforcing its resolutions, the Security Council’s decisions are toothless. In the Middle East, and Syria in particular, only the United States has the influence to effect change. Yet US Envoy Tom Barrack appears enamored with Sharaa’s Islamist regime in Damascus.
Peloni: Col. Richard Kemp, who led British forces in Afganistan, reports on what he saw in Gaza.
