Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has ignited international headlines with a fierce condemnation of Qatar, accusing the Gulf state of orchestrating a global surge in antisemitism not seen since the Holocaust.

In late July, Turkish defense contractors used the 2025 International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) to showcase the latest additions to the country’s arsenal. Headlining the event were two striking developments: the “Tayfun Block-4” hypersonic ballistic missile and the “Gazap” bunker-busting, non-nuclear thermobaric bomb. Both weapons, now within the Turkish military’s reach, are capable of striking targets well inside the territories of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus—neighbors that already view Ankara’s ambitions with deep suspicion.
Peloni: Highly recommended video! This video includes discussions relating to proposed strategies put forward for Israel’s future security. It includes Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel’s Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, Adam Milstein – Israeli- American philanthropist and thought leader, and Prof. Alan Dershowitz – Renowned American jurist, Harvard Law professor emeritus, and is hosted by Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, Head of JISS.
Particular attention should be paid to Dershowitz’ statement beginning at 39min and the discussion which follows. Dershowitz explains that the world’s return to widespread Jew Hatred is not the exception, but is the norm which has been experienced throughout world history. He also notes that we should expect that US support for Israel will will be significantly diminished over the next decade, noting that it has already lost the support of the Democrats, and if VP Vance advances to lead the Republicans, being a member of the isolationist wing of the Republicans, support for Israel will likely be significantly scaled back. Due to this fact, Israel must develop a self sufficient arm industry to support itself going forward. Much more to gained in this very important conversation.
Peloni: Trump’s proposed plan to dramatically increase US involvement in aid distribution in Gaza is ill advised. There is no situation which warrants the US putting boots on the ground in Israel, and that includes inside Gaza. Additionally, the suggestion that the Sunni states should be given any role in Gaza is also misguided. Gaza must be controlled and managed under Israel’s authority, not that of foreign powers.
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” |August 6, 2025
Does the US extend to Israel an annual foreign aid of $3.8bn, or does the US make an annual $3.8bn investment in Israel, which yields to the US a Return-on-Investment that exceeds – exponentially – the annual investment?
*The US’ power projection – in the Middle East and in the face of Russia and China – has been substantially upgraded by Israel’s battle-proven military and technological capabilities and its surging posture of deterrence. Unlike NATO, South Korea and Japan, Israel has bolstered the US’ regional and global strategic posture without US bases/troops. Israel has done it due to its stability, effectiveness and reliability (irrespective of Left or Right government); and, its pro-active military action against anti-US Islamic terrorism. Israel has contributed to the US defense and economy by acting as a cost-effective battle-tested laboratory for US defense and aerospace industries, which has contributed mega billions of dollars to the saving in research and development costs – and increased exports – of advanced US military systems (combat aircraft, etc.), and sharing innovative battle tactics with the US Armed Forces.

May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and Figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. He also declared that the United States government “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance”. George Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790.
I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing nations. If I were an atheist of the other sect, who believe, or pretend to believe, that all is ordered by chance, I should believe that chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate to all mankind the doctrine of a supreme, intelligent, wise, Almighty Sovereign of the universe, which I believe to be the great essential principle of all morality, and consequently of all civilization. President John Adams, Letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, Feb. 18, 1809
Peloni: Fake news which didn’t even pass the test of being believable in the first place. And yet, so many have leant credence to this fable.
Claims raise questions regarding journalistic independence in Gaza

Amidst the international outrage that followed the publication of malnourished children in Gaza, which were later revealed to be suffering from congenital diseases, and the widespread use of photos showing Gaza civilians scrambling for aid, in apparent distress while waiting to receive food, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung alleges that some of those photos were staged by a Hamas-affiliated photographer.
Peloni: It was very encouraging to see this change. Despite the propaganda launched against Israel, the only institutional, systematic discrimination against the freedom of worship in Israel has been implemented against the Jew. It is, accordingly, very welcome to see that this long held practice of discrimination is at least being partially withdrawn. Very well done, Min. Ben Gvir!

Though Israel has been demonized by so much of the world, within that general demonization special hate has been reserved for two people, now members of the cabinet, who are inevitably described as “far right” and “lunatics” — Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. The former has just done something that the Arabs, and the world media taking its cue from them, describe as an appalling violation of previous agreements and a deliberate attempt to stir up even more trouble with the Palestinian Arabs. They are referring to Ben-Gvir’s visit, along with his supporters, to the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount, on one of the holiest of Jewish holidays, Tisha b’Av, where the Jews proceeded to sing and dance and, horribile dictu, to openly pray.
Peloni: IDSF Head of Research Or Yissachar and Amb. Yoram Ettinger discuss the reoccupation of Gaza, reitterinating that there is no choice but to move forward with this operation. In doing so, Amb. Ettinger raises the key point that Israel can not off-shore its responsibility of securing Gaza to Europe, the Sunni Arabs or the US. Gaza must be maintained and overseen by Israeli forces alone.

In the war in the Gaza Strip, Israel faces a choice between three strategic alternatives: continuing to pursue a ceasefire agreement to secure the release of some of the hostages while adhering to the goal of dismantling and disarming Hamas; agreeing to end the war under Hamas’s terms in exchange for the release of all the hostages; or occupying the Strip and imposing a temporary military administration, with the hope that this will also result in the release of the hostages. Each of these options involves significant costs alongside relative advantages, and none fully realizes the war’s objectives. This article examines the implications of occupying the Gaza Strip and how this option addresses the war’s objectives compared to the other two alternatives.

Gen Z, loosely defined as Americans born between 1997 and 2012, is the first generation to grow up with full access to the Internet from pre-school onward. They are America’s digital natives and use the Internet constantly and consistently to interact socially. The seeming anonymity of the Internet has created a medium of over-sharing private information on social media, where young people’s emotional vulnerabilities are exploited by avaricious online sexual predators. The connections between social media, pornography, pedophilia, and societal collapse are positively chilling.
Peloni: The little discussed history of Albania during WWII is an important oversight. At the beginning of the war, there were somewhere between 200-600 Jews living in Albania, but at the war’s end there were some 2,000. Even after the Germans occupied Albania and demanded the list of Jews in the country, locals refused to comply and fake documents were provided to the Jews.

Background
As a recipient of the EHRI-Conny Kristel fellowship, I spent a short research period at the Fondazione Centro Di Documentazione Ebraica Contemporanea (CDEC) in Milan, Italy. CDEC is an independent research institute for the study of the history and culture of Jews in Italy, with particular reference to contemporary Italy and the Nazi-fascist period. The CDEC Foundation is broadly recognized as the main institute in Italy for the history and documentation of the Shoah.2 The time I spent at CDEC was fundamental for my research, which is focused on the fate of native and foreign Jews in Albania during the Holocaust. CDEC contains a significant number of documents, books, and other materials, directly and indirectly connected to the experiences of Jews in Albania before and throughout World War II (WWII).
Peloni: Daniel hits the nail on the head here. The Left are trying to turn MAGA on its head.
There’s no ‘civil war’ within MAGA over Israel. There’s only leftist infiltration.

The media has taken to claiming that there’s a “civil war” within MAGA over Israel. In reality, 78% of Republicans supported Israel’s strikes on Iran and 71% support its war on Hamas. The “civil war” was manufactured by media hacks, hoping conservatives will adopt their support for Islamic terrorists, and social media influencers who are in the pay of Islamic interests.
Peloni: Maj. Gen Hacohen provides the context of the constraints under which Israel faces in conquering Gaza, and yet he reaffirms that victory will be gained.
It is vital to recognize that these constraints exist so that an appropriate strategy can be developed to achieve victory. In any event, however, Israel must take control of Gaza, there is just no other choice. This is what is understood when describing Gaza as an existential threat

For Syria, Qatar’s money is power.
On July 31, the Qatar Fund for Development announced plans to fund a surge of natural gas deliveries to Syria. Deliveries began on August 2. The gas, which is flowing from Azerbaijan to a power station in Aleppo via Turkey, is expected to boost Syria’s power-generating capacity by 400 megawatts. That means hours more electricity every day for more than 5 million people.
Why Hillel Fuld Is right, and why it’s time we stop hiding behind feel-good illusions. Hillel Fuld is not spreading fear. He is sounding the alarm that far too many Jews refuse to hear.
Let me be very clear: I love Chabad. I have deep respect the Rebbe zts”l and deeply appreciate the generations of shlichim who continue to inspire, educate, and awaken Jewish souls around the world.
But I must push back, firmly, on Rabbi Anchelle Perl’s recent critique of Hillel Fuld’s viral post warning about the rising tsunami of Jew-hating antisemitism and the existential threats facing the Jewish people in the West today.

I’ve followed your campaign for mayor in one of the greatest cities in the entire world, New York, along with volumes of antisemitic comments with much interest.
Please don’t think ALL of us are fools (although many are…you’ve got many ignorant and/or self hating Jews supporting your views and campaigns)
when you and your Jew stooge campaign assistant claim that there’s a rat’s derrière’s difference between your obviously hatred of the sole, resurrected, minuscule nation of Israel Reborn and your feelings towards Jews. There isn’t in 99.999 % of the cases.
Peloni: Should it not have been easy enough for the administration to have defended their decision to include the relevant language in the funding guidelines as being relevant to the exponential rise of antisemitic attacks and open support of antisemitism on both the Right and the Left in the US? In fact, it was a missed opportunity for the administration to call out the historic Jew Hatred in both the country as well as within Trump’s own base as being both un-American and unacceptable. Relevantly, the longer the Trump administration ignores the growing embrace of antisemitism by those who claim to control his base, the more difficult it will be to prove them wrong.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding guidelines indicated that cities and states boycotting Israeli companies would be ineligible for federal disaster preparedness aid, but the Trump administration subsequently removed that specific language from the rules on Monday.
Peloni: Judicial reform is what people voted for in the last election, and as I have noted previously, if it is not passed by this govt, it will be what people vote for in the next govt. The longer this long overdue reform is ignored, the more terrible will be its effect on the Israeli people, and the more obvious will become the fact that this reform is neither arbitrary nor radical, but both responsible and necessary to the nation’s survival.
