IU SPECIAL: HOW ISRAEL CAN WIN IN GAZA  

Peloni:  This is an important video.   Gadi Taub interviews Brigadier general (res.) Erez Winner, former Chief of Operational Planning, Southern Theater (Gaza) as they discuss both the Guideon Chariots operation which Winner planned, as well as the regretable changes to that plan as it has been implemented.  They also discuss the failure of thus far addressing the situtation in the North of Gaza, explaining that the consequences of this cut along two lines: maintaining human shields for Hamas while also requiring the subsidizing of Hamas with so called ‘humanitarian aid’.  Later in the interview, they detail the complications related to a lack of judicial reform as it affects military operations.

No New Day Would Rise had Greta Thunberg set foot in Gaza.  

Barry Shaw

Greta Iceberg attempted a fake publicity stunt in Hamastan on her boat The Satanic together with her Hollywood film crew in an attempt to make the greatest Pallywood production ever made.

I am sure the opening scene would have been of this heroine greeted and adored by the same Gazan savages that over 600 days ago gave Israeli hostages, dead, alive, and injured, a completely different reception.

From Israel: As the World Spins, So Our Heads!!  

Arlene Kushner | June 5, 2025

Clipart.com

All of the news is not bad (although, unfortunately, a good deal is).

What it is perhaps paramount to note is that our situation here in Israel – as suggested by my title – is one of turmoil and tension. With regard to one state of affairs after another, there is lack of resolution. Not only lack of resolution, but conflicting reports, accompanied by charges and countercharges.

Who does Emmanuel Macron think he is?  

Sub-Saharan Africa, and Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco are very familiar with France’s criminal history. And don’t forget that France capitulated and then supported the Nazis.

Bibi Vindicated on ‘Jewish State’ Demand  

Peloni:  It was always ridiculous to consider peace being remotely possible with those who would not even give lip service to recognizing the Jewish nature of the Jewish state.  Rather than lowering standards to find someone with whom to form peace deals, Israel must raise the bar.  Not even the lip service which Bibi demanded should be enough, as this is how the cold peace came to be formed between Israel and its Egyptian and Jordanian neighbors.  Fundamental changes, not promises of recognition, should mark the potential of any peace, and the most fundamental change and most necessary, IMO, is the reform within the educational system of any potential peace partner, such that children are taught that Jews are indigenous to the Jewish lands, that they have a right to their presence on these lands, and are deserving of regional cooperation and general respect.  Barring this, it is not peace which will be formed, but rather, a simple deception, just one more hudna for our age.  And peace accords should not result in territorial concessions with Israel, but simply peaceful relations with Israel.

From the beginning of Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to the premiership in 2009, he repeatedly insisted that the Palestinian Authority recognize Israel as a Jewish state. “Israel expects the Palestinians to first recognize Israel as a Jewish state before talking about two states for two peoples,” Netanyahu reportedly told Obama’s Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, at their first meeting.

Jewish anti-Zionists and the murder of the Israeli embassy staffers  

The close relationship between the Reconstructionist movement and Jewish Voice for Peace extremists.

Moshe Phillips 

The murder in Washington, D.C., of Israeli embassy staff members Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, last month by an anti-Israel extremist has drawn statements from American rabbis across the spectrum of political and religious thought. Yet one response stands out for its disturbing nature.

Gershom Scholem and the Non Rational in Jewish History  

Peloni:  Geoffrey provides an important lesson regarding the current debate ongoing before the Knesset between the religious blocks and the other parties.  Told thru the lens of another era, it displays the costs which might come from the influence upon political elites by non rational aspects of Jewish thought.

By Geoffrey Clarfield

As Israel is being threatened by both its “friends” like Canada and the UK, as well as Jihadis from Gaza, Syria and Iran we note with anxiety that United Torah Judaism and other members of the religious blocks in the Knesset are threatening to dissolve the government so that the thousands of Jewish men who study in Yeshivas throughout the land do not have to do military service.

PM Netanyahu seeks compromise on draft exemption bill as ultra-Orthodox parties threaten to dissolve Knesset  

Peloni:  The likelihood of the heredim parties getting a better deal with the opposition parties is negligible, as their base was anti-heredi, even before October 7.  Unless the heredim are looking to burn their bridges with the Right, a deal will be struck.  Still, the attacks on Edelstein continue and are not helpful towards this goal.

By DedaSasha – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a meeting yesterday with Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein to discuss advancing the draft exemption bill. According to the Times of Israel, the meeting confirmed that a path exists to bridge the gaps on the issue of conscription.

J’Accuse Associated Press for its lies about the Gaza aid shootings  

Howard Rotberg

J’accuse…!, Émile Zola’s open letter to the President of the Republic, in L’Aurore.  J’accuse Gallica page 1 and 2Public Domain

J’accuse, was a celebrated open letter by Émile Zola to the president of the French Republic in defense of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer who had been accused of treason by the French army. It was published in the newspaper L’Aurore on Jan. 13, 1898. The letter, which began with the denunciatory phrase “J’accuse,” blamed the army for covering up its mistaken conviction of Dreyfus. Dreyfus was eventually cleared years later.

In a recent essay in National Post, Iddo Moed, Israeli ambassador to Canada noted that the Dreyfuss Affair teaches the lesson that false narratives, when left unchallenged, have violent consequences.  Moed writes:

Witkoff Does It Again—Awards Arab Butchers, Encouraging Continuation of Atrocities  

by Gerald A. Honigman

President Trump’s point man in the Middle East, fellow real estate mogul buddy Steve Witkoff, has proposed an IDF withdrawal from Gaza and release of over a thousand Arab butchers and accomplices along with some other slightly lesser Jew-killer wannabes in exchange for 18 dead  Israeli civilian hostages and 10 living ones.

Geez, what  a bargain!

I mean, after all, America itself would certainly accept such a deal with an organization whose charter unabashedly emphasizes that it’s main goal is the eradication of the United States and murder of its own people everywhere…correct?

Parents of Sbarro bombing victim urge US to demand Hamas terrorist’s extradition  

Peloni:  How is it that this woman has not already been apprehended, tried, convicted and executed for the crimes she committed twenty years ago.  The Hashemites have only survived the past decades in power due to US presence and support.  Jordan receives the largest aid package in history from the US.  And yet we are to believe that the US lacks the leverage to bring this butcheress to justice in an American court??  This is simply not true.

Ahlam Tamimi, who played central role in 2001 Jerusalem attack that killed 16 and injured 130, has lived freely in Jordan since her 2011 release

Frimet and Arnold Roth, the parents of Malki Roth, a US citizen who was killed at age 15 in the 2001 Sbarro Pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem, met last month with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to deliver a petition urging the extradition of the attack’s orchestrator, Hamas terrorist Ahlam Tamimi, from Jordan.

Lt General Michael Flynn Has Strong Advice for President Donald Trump Regarding Russia-Ukraine Conflict  

Peloni:  Threatening Russia’s nuclear capabilities is something which should not be taken lightly.  To be certain it won’t be so by the Russians.  Trump should follow Flynn’s advice, and take what actions are necessary to  reestablish American actions in accord with American interests.  This certainly would not include using the terms of nuclear treaties to support such an attack on the Russian nuclear capabilities.  Take further note that as the drones were smuggled into Russia during a state of war with closed borders and nil trade with the West, the US border has been left wide open for years with the movement of men and material unfettered at its border…

Sundance | June 4, 2025

It is at moments like this when I wish General Michael Flynn had not comprehensively compromised his ability to provide advice and counsel to President Donald Trump. This is great advice shared via Twitter:

THE PRAGUE CEMETERY. Why do so many people in the modern West hate the Jews?  

Did you know? French and Russian fascists created a panic that caused WWII and the Shoa (Holocaust)

Francisco Gil-White | MOR | Jun 02, 2025

Why do so many people in the modern West hate the Jews? In The Prague Cemetery, the late Umberto Eco gave his answer.

This remarkable Italian polymath—“medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator”—was smart, erudite, and a good observer. And a good writer. You may know him from The Name of the Rose—a whodunit set in the Middle Ages. But my special affections go to The Prague Cemetery, Umberto Eco’s historical novel about the birth of modern ‘political’ antisemitism in the nineteenth century.
