Peloni:  Important observations in the video with LTC (res) Sarit Zehavi, Maj. Gen. (res) Gershon Ha-cohen, and Brig. Gen. (ret) Relik Shafir.

Peloni:  Please read and share this article.   Avi is so right, and the silence supporting him is so deafening!  It is per normal and well expected failure of Western society to have the media lay down a false narrative based on their own sick fantasies of our destruction, but it is a new revelation to see the likes of a man such as Amb. Huckabee being drawn into such a betrayal of sanity and justice as has recently been perpetrated against the Israeli people, while he seems to be grasping the well played tune of “settler violence”, even as this has recently been shown to be a false dicotomy, a blood libel, perpetrated against Israel, but weaponized to diminish and defeat the West.  If a man of faith and conscience, such as Amb. Mike Huckabee, might be strung along to the perversions of these fantasies, the world is in a very dire position, beginning with Israel, but notably it will not end there.

Now the haters on the Christian right are piling on with Jew-hatred, fueled by recent headlines out of Israel. This is very bad news, and deeply worrying.

Let me set the record straight, because the truth matters.

Last week, a fire broke out near the Christian village of Taybeh in Samaria. Yes, the village cemetery suffered some damage. But here’s what the media won’t say: the fire started as Arab arsonists set Jewish agricultural fields on fire. Israeli Jews, the so-called “settlers” and “hilltop youth” tried to put the fire out. But it spread, and sadly, it reached the cemetery.

Latest Developments

• Evacuation Notices: The IDF issued warnings calling on Palestinians to evacuate the central-Gaza city of Deir al-Balah on July 20, indicating the start of what would be the first Israeli ground operation in the area since the beginning of the war in Gaza. Israeli Air Force planes dropped evacuation leaflets over the city on Sunday, and the IDF’s chief Arabic spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, urged civilians to move south toward the al-Mawasi humanitarian area. “The IDF continues to operate with great force to destroy the enemy’s capabilities and terror infrastructure in the area, as it expands its activities into an area where it has not operated before,” Adraee said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the foreign ministers of France, Germany and the U.K. agreed in a phone call on Monday to set the end of August as the de facto deadline for reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, according to three sources with knowledge of the call. If no deal is reached by that deadline, the three European powers plan to trigger the “snapback” mechanism that automatically reimposes all UN Security Council sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 Iran deal….  Since the end of the war between Israel and Iran, the Trump administration has been trying to resume negotiations on a new nuclear deal (Axios).

Peloni:  Here lies a fair analysis of the promise which was made when a Jihadist donned a suit and was claimed to be a reformer, when the terrorist Al Jolani was repackaged as the moderate Al Shaara, when repression was suppose to be replaced with reform and was instead only redirected against Syria’s minorities.  Indeed, radicalism is the reality of what came of the promises of Jolani’s reportedly miraculous transformation into Shaara,, and proof of this lies in his own words as he described the butchers of the Druze as being “heroes”.  Taha challenges that Jolani now has a choice to be the statesman rather than a terrorist, but that choice was already offered when the terrorist put on the suit, and the choice was poorly made, and trust was badly abused.   So are we going to offer Jolani the opportunity to choose again only to hope for a better outcome??

On June 20, 2025, President Donald Trump authorized the most consequential military action of his second presidency: U.S. B-2 stealth bombers dropped massive bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s nuclear facilities, including the heavily fortified Fordo site buried 300 feet beneath a mountain. This action, while controversial, was both necessary and overdue.

So I was sitting on the couch, my legs on the coffee table, flipping through the Koran, glass of dry white wine in one hand and a platter of pita with hummus on the table, and, WOW. Almost spilled the wine. Jews in the Koran? In the second sura(chapter)? Seems Mohamed talked about the Jews in the Koran! Where were these Jews? In Germany? Poland? No?

Peloni:  As in all things, the law must be followed and accountability must be had for transgressions, but it seems that Huckabee has come to a conclusion as to the outcome of the still ongoing investigation while also calling for it. And while it is important for justice to be pursued, there is a caveat to be noted when accepting the testimony of Eastern Christians as the only source

Eastern Christians stand as pawns to their local masters, much as the Jews of Iran stand today condemning Israel and America for their actions in Iran. And notably, the anti-Israeli and anti-American sentiments of these captured Christians remains a continuous and useful tool of the foes of both Israel and America when Western Christians/politicians pretend that the Eastern Christians could possibly be honest about anything which does not support their local master’s interests. In the current scenario of what took place in Taybeh, those masters are the PA, led by the terror cabal known as Fatah and its illegitimate leadership headed by Abu Mazen.

So the animosity of Eastern Christians in the PA controlled territories for both Jews and Americans should be understood to be both real and significant to the degree it advantages the anti-Israeli, anti-American interests of the PA terrorists.

Hence, the apparent rush to judgement which Huckabee seems to characterize his many statements over the past week would seem to be both drawing a conclusion from, and calling for, the still ongoing investigations based on his interviews with the PA controlled Taybeh.

The fact that Huckabee is giving support to claims of captured anti-Western Christians is both disturbing and unique among Huckabee’s previous commentaries, suggesting it should be sourced above Huckabee’s pay-grade.

While the greatest pushback against the false reports of “Settler Violence” to date has recently been put forward as explained by Regavim’ Naomi Kahn, it is worrisome to see Huckabee taking an uncharacteristicly and openly hostile position to Israel in a rush to judgement over an issue which is still under investigation.

Use it or lose it is the colloquial definition of neuroplasticity, defined in more technical terms by BetterHelp online in its, February 19, 2025, article “What ‘Use It Or Lose It’ Means in Neuropsychology“:

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the central nervous system to form and reorganize neural connections in response to injury or a learning event. This trait allows the human brain to adapt and change depending on events or experiences. Human brains can adapt through learning when an individual practices a task repeatedly. However, if they do not follow through with this repetition, this adaptive ability is lost, and they lose these possible new neural pathways until they return to the practice. This phenomenon is often referred to as the central nervous system’s “use it or lose it” insurance policy.

The American government is said to have been opposed Israel’s latest intervention in Syria, where the Israeli Air Force bombed Syrian army troops and weapons in the Druze stronghold of Suweyda, and also struck the Syrian army’s headquarters in Damascus, and a site next to he presidential palace, as a way to warn Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa of what Israel could do to him if it had a mind to, and that much would depend on his reaction to the bombing. He got the message, pulled his troops out of Suweyda, and agreed to a ceasefire with the Druze in that city. He even said, after several days when his troops had murdered Druze soldiers and civilians in Suweyda, setting some on fire, that his government would “protect the Druze.” Many of the Druze, especially those in Israel who, unlike those in Syria, are not afraid to talk, deeply mistrust al-Sharaa, whom they continue to regard as a Sunni jihadist.
