Peloni:  A fascinating story.

One of the places I visited during a trip to the Balkans in June was a large nuclear bunker complex on the outskirts of Tiranë, the capital of Albania. It’s a massive underground structure—five stories, 106 rooms, and a two-story-high assembly hall, all covering 32,000 square feet—and was built in the 1970s during the height of the Cold War to shelter Albania’s Stalinist leader Enver Hoxha and his inner circle. Dug by hand, the bunker claimed the lives of many laborers.

Peloni: This is an important article, arguing for the positions being adopted in Judea & Samaria by the US Republicans to be promoted by Israel among their Democratic counterparts, thus restoring the bipartisan nature of support for Israel while maintaining the gains currently being supported by the Republicans.  Israel’s long term future alliance with America requires a bipartisan base, and as the Democrats have taken to largely repositioning themselves towards anti-American, and thereby anti-Israel, policies, it will be important for Israeli activists to try to revive the bipartisan nature of the relationship between Israel and the US as much as possible, by interacting with candidates who have not entirely moved towards the Islamist wing of the party.

Today, America’s conservatives stand beside us, urging the same resolve. It is an invitation Israel should embrace with confidence.

US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s decision to stand in the Samaria city of Ariel on Monday and declare that “Judea and Samaria… must remain an integral part” of Israel was far more than a private photo op. It marked the clearest sign yet that today’s Republican leadership is steadily erasing the Green Line from United States policy toward the Jewish state. Read more…

Peloni:  Gadi Taub provides a very thorough and extensive look at the Netanyahu trials as he exposes the impossibility of ignoring the rule of law being perverted towards lawfare tactics, as well as the lack of any regard for justice in a regime which claims the judicial supremacy.  In their quest to manipulate and unseat Netanyahu, the entire charade of legal abuse and judicial malpractice has exposed itself as being no more than the squandering of power among those ideological quarters which have increasingly been rejected by the Israeli electorate.

The trial of Benjamin Netanyahu began in Jerusalem District Court over five years ago, on May 24, 2020. Since that date, Israel has become a different country, one scarred by terror attacks and international condemnation and also boasting stunning military victories. Meanwhile, judges and researchers have cast serious doubt on the evidentiary basis for all four charges against the prime minister, only one of which has of yet been dismissed and none proved in court.

Peloni:  The plight of the hostages was always made more dire by placing them as the primary focus of the war and thus increasing their value among the savage Hamas.  Now, Zamir needs to carry out the will of the govt or be replaced.

Netanyahu reportedly convinced Hamas will not agree to another hostage deal

The issue isn’t whether celebrities have the right to comment on international issues. But they should know what they are talking about.

In mid-July, pop singer Olivia Rodrigo shared an Instagram post condemning the conditions in Gaza, writing: “There are no words to describe the heartbreak I feel witnessing the devastation that is being inflicted upon innocent people in Palestine.” The 22-year-old, known for her multiple Grammy Awards, also encouraged her followers to donate to UNICEF to support what she called “victims of this horrifying situation.”

On his Saturday show, Mark opens his first segment by questioning why those nations now advocating for a Palestinian state would not play the footage from October 7, why they don’t show the stockpiles of arms which litter the Palestinian homes and communities, and why they aren’t revealing that Israel has tried to ship thousands of tons of food into Gaza.  He reminds us of the extreme efforts which the Allies took in WWII to defeat the Nazis, all while the Europeans failed to raise any objections, yet similar actions being taken today in Gaza are being described as war crimes.  Israel has done more to protect civilians than any other nation in history.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered his latest speech on July 30, commemorating the first anniversary of Israel assassinating the group’s then-chief of staff, Fuad Shukr. Amidst briefly eulogizing Shukr and other formalities, Qassem devoted most of his speech to, once again, reiterating Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm under any conditions.

Following 9/11 and the horror of it all, America, and her allies, went to war against Afghanistan, against Muslim terrorists, despite the fact that the majority of terrorists, the pilots who perpetrated the attack, had come from Saudi Arabia.

To what end?

When French President Emmanuel Macron announced that in September, at the UN General Assembly, he will call for the recognition of the “state of Palestine,” he started a juggernaut that has been joined, so far, by Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the U.K. and Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada. And Macron has apparently been working the phones, trying to persuade other world leaders to join him in this abandonment of the embattled Jewish state, and the embrace of a “state of Palestine” that still has no borders and no government — it’s an imaginary state, which is apparently meant to include all of Judea and Samaria and east Jerusalem, but how this is to be achieved, and what say the Israelis will have about the 700,000 Israeli Jews who now live in this area, neither Macron nor any other Western leader has explained. More on Macron and the antisemitism that helps explain his attitude can be found here: “Macron’s choice: Stand with democracy, or allow Frech [sic] Jews to become political sacrifices – opinion,” by David Ben-Basat, Jerusalem Post, August 1, 2025:

Peloni:  The loss of the public relations war in Israel is raising the level of Jew Hatred around the world, where local officials acting as allies of Hamas are helping to exacerbate this reality.  Despite the Sydney police having called to ban this demonstration due to the logistical impossibilities of being able to manage such an event as this, a Leftist judge overruled their objections, permitting this rally to proceed.

I’m gonna make a prediction right now.

Actually, I’m going to make another prediction.

On October 5th, 2023, I predicted that something big was about to happen and Israel would be at the center of it.
