Peloni:  The spectrum of Jew Hatred is broad in its origin, specific in its target, and devastating in its effect.  It is the Oldest Hatred, and rises in every generation to divide our people, to subject us to inconceivable horrors, and to diminish our numbers…and yet we persist and will continue to meet this challenge in every age.  As Joan’s well described cypher of Jew Hatred explains, our opposition is broad and unrelenting, and frustrated from their historic failures to drive us from this world.

Since the day that Israeli Jews were attacked, tortured, murdered, raped and burned to death on October 7, 2023, the entire world, save for a tiny minority, has vilified, excoriated, and blamed — ta-da! — the Jews!  The victims!

The Israeli defense industry, led by the big three — Rafael, Elbit, and Israel Aircraft Industries — keeps on coming up with new weapons, such as the laser-based anti-missile weapon, the Iron Beam, that will cost only a few dollars as compared to the tens of thousands for the Iron Dome that does the same thing, and in improving those it already possesses. Now Rafael’s David’s Sling, an air and missile defense system, that has lately been improved, has been tested and managed to surpass all expectations in shooting down short, medium, and long-range missiles, including ballistic missiles. It does so at a fraction of the cost of either the Arrow 2, used to shoot down ballistic missiles, or the Iron Dome, used to shoot down short-range rockets.

For many of us who have supported this war effort from day one, it’s been agonizing to watch the slow, cautious steps taken by Israel’s leadership in Gaza. We’ve seen the terror tunnels, the barbarity of October 7th, and the endless cycle of ceasefire deals exploited by Hamas to regroup, rearm and boobytrap areas/homes we previously cleared. And we’ve asked ourselves again and again: why haven’t we just gone in and finished the job?

Peloni:  This was a significant blow.  Importantly, much of what has been shipped to Israel since October 7 from Germany has been products purchased under previously signed contracts, and needed replacement parts for existing systems.  Also, the fate of the yet to be completed Dolphin submarines from Germany are as now not being affected by this arms suspension.

Latest Developments

• Merz Confirms Military Exports Halt: The German government has announced a suspension of certain military exports to Israel following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to take over Gaza City as the next step in the Jewish state’s bid to eliminate Hamas from the coastal enclave. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz asserted that the “even harsher military action by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, approved by the Israeli cabinet last night, makes it increasingly difficult for the German government to see how these goals will be achieved.” He added, “under these circumstances, the German government will not authorize any exports of military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip until further notice.” Following the announcement, Netanyahu held a phone call with Merz in which he expressed “disappointment” with the decision, with his office subsequently issuing a statement charging Germany with “rewarding Hamas terrorism.”

Peloni:  Hudson Institute Research Fellow Zineb Riboua moderates a conversation between Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Michael Doran and Damjan Krnjevi? Miškovi?, professor of practice at Azerbaijan’s ADA University and editor of the policy journal Baku Dialogues, regarding the many aspects of the Armenia Azerbaijan Agreement.  In this discussion they explain that this agreement, despite being between Armenia and Azerbaijan, raises the political capital of Turkey and Azerbaijan, at the expense of the Iranians and to perhaps a lesser extent Russia.  First half of the interview covers the most important portion of the discussion. 

Peloni:  As Trump secures the beginning of peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, these efforts promote the interests of both an intrinsic Israeli ally, Azerbaijan, and a worrisome adversary, Turkey, in the same moment.

Recently, Hamas released horrific videos depicting two Israeli hostages, Evytar David and Rom Braslavski,who have now been held in captivity in inhuman conditions for 670 days. One particularly harrowing video shows David, visibly emaciated, being forced to dig what appears to be his own grave in a Hamas tunnel beneath Gaza. These images evoke painful historical parallels of the Holocaust and the brutal conditions of Nazi concentration camps. Jews were rounded up throughout Europe and forced to dig their own graves before they were executed along with their family, neighbors, and entire communities. Jewish concentration camp survivors were so emaciated that they were little more than skin and bones, and some left for dead who were actually still alive. On my first trip to Israel, I had the privilege to meet a woman who was the daughter of one of those who was left for dead.

And the same is true for America.

by Daniel Greenfield | August 8, 2025

Why can’t the United States of America or Israel ever seem to win their ‘endless wars’? Because they have yet to fight the real enemy. Israel’s air strikes on Iran at least targeted the actual IRGC backers of Oct 7, while the U.S. has yet to deal with the Saudi, Qatari and Pakistani governments behind 9/11. But there is a hidden enemy that can’t just be droned.

What did Osama bin Laden and Hamas have in common? Both were part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Even more than Iran or any government, it’s the Muslim Brotherhood that binds together worldwide terrorist threats with political domestic pressure campaigns. The spectrum of Brotherhood influence combines together not only armed Jihadis, but Qatar’s Al Jazeera and other media influence operations, CAIR and other internal Democrat pressure groups and a majority of the mosques operating inside the United States. And that’s only the beginning.

Peloni:  Despite the fanfare in Lebanon, the security threat from Hezbollah remains no more likely to be resolved than does the security threat in Syria at the moment.  Recalling that 45% of the Lebanese Armed Forces remains to be Shiite is just one of the factors demonstrating this fact.

Executive Summary

Despite a flurry of international diplomatic activity intended to stabilize the situation on the Israel – Lebanon border and the Israel – Syria border, the basic requirements on Israel’s part for a safe and sustainable withdrawal of the IDF from forward positions in southern Lebanon and southern Syria do not exist for the time being, and it is doubtful whether they will exist in the near future.

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB), mainly through Qatar, has spread extremism, instability and terrorism from the Middle East to the rest of the world. Qatar’s state television, Al-Jazeera, now a massive media empire, is the leading MB propaganda outlet. Pictured: The late Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the MB, speaks while seated beside Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, at a conference held in Qaradawi’s honor that was broadcast on Al-Jazeera on July 16, 2007.
