How a flawed narrative about Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria became a global campaign—and a weapon against Israel

by Gadi Taub | Tablet | July 3, 2025

Click photo below to revisit Naomi Kahn’s important discussion on the ruse of Settler Violence.

In the popular imagination, Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria are armed gangs rampaging through Palestinian villages and towns and terrorizing the Arab population with impunity. The coverage of the recent clashes in and around the town of Kafr Malik provides a good case in point. “Police free all settlers detained in Wednesday’s deadly rampage of Palestinian village,” read a headline in The Times of Israel last week. “Settler attacks on Palestinians throughout the West Bank have been taking place on a near-daily basis with almost complete impunity, in what has sparked mounting sanctions from Western governments,” the report added, with palpable outrage. How could these perpetrators of a “deadly rampage,” which resulted in the death of three Palestinians, be set free?

Peloni:  There was a time when democracy represented rule by consent of the people, but now it is increasingly accepted as being the fiat of some fop in black robes.

In the West, it is not the executive that threatens the separation of powers. It is faceless judges lacking democratic legitimacy who legislate on the pretext of judging. The torrents of universal rules and requirements deriving from articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (e.g. privacy, dignity), and the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (pictured) are probably the worst modern example of tyrannical judicial imperialism.  (Photo by Adrian Grycuk – Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 pl, Wikipedia)

We Israelis are dealing with an exceedingly difficult and complex time. We speak of the matzav, “the situation”, as we struggle to understand how we came to this place that feels never-ending. We are driven by a need to know what is currently transpiring and then, what we can likely expect ahead.

Take, by way of example, the assessment of how much damage the US attack did to the Iranian nuclear sites. Estimates vary so greatly that the head spins; you might end up accepting the estimate from the source you find most reliable, or perhaps you accept what you find most comforting. (Israeli intelligence says the damage was considerable.)

$60 Billion Down the Nile: Funding Egypt’s Pivot to China & Institutional Jew-Hatred

Khaled Hassan | The Grand Strategy | Jul 10, 2025

Screengrab via Youtube

For decades, American policymakers have treated Egypt as a linchpin of Middle Eastern stability, funnelling over $60 billion in military aid since the 1979 Camp David Accords. This largesse—averaging $1.3 billion annually—was predicated on Cairo’s role as a moderating force and guardian of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty. Yet beneath the diplomatic facade lies a strategic catastrophe: the United States is bankrolling a regime whose military and national security apparatus are institutionally antisemitic, actively undermine Israeli security, US interests in the region and fuel regional instability—and, most recently, while pivoting to America’s adversaries.

Peloni:  Both terrorists have been reported to be members of the Palestinian Police, an American equity.  Indeed, these well trained enforcers of Pal society intended to walk into a supermarket where they would have had an unfettered access to untold numbers of victims.  In fact, it was only due to the by chance presence of armed civilian and off duty soldier, and a locked door, thank G_d, that such an event did not take place.  While the terrorists being Pal Police comes as no surprise, and only adds to the list of literally dozens of Pal Police who have preceded these two in committing terror attacks, it reinforces the reality that this reservoir of terror, which is financed, trained, and armed by Israel’s American ally, must be disbanded, its arms must be stacked, and an alternate option must be pursued in place of further supporting this den of miscreant savages.

Netanyahu says, ‘Terror will not raise its head in Judea and Samaria’

A 22-year-old man was killed in a terror attack at the Gush Eitzion junction in Judea, south of Jerusalem, on Thursday which involved two Palestinian terrorists who attempted to enter a supermarket and attack customers.

Peloni:  In this episode, Gadi Taub and Mike Doran explore the completely changed nature of the relationship between Israel and the US, as Trump and Netanyahu have forged a far more integral coordination between these two allies in just a few months.  Begin watching at about 30min, just after Caroline Glick makes a surprise appearance with news that a deal is very likely to be formed in the coming days.  Among other things they discuss the risk benefit nature of such a deal.  They also look more critically at the Hebron emirates proposal, in which Mike notes that this is a power play between clans by borrowing Israeli power, while Gadi notes the very real risks involved in such a gambit.  Notably they agree that it is more of a statement of the need for a changed paradigm from the old Oslo dependency, as Mudar Zahran suggested in recent days.  They y also talk about Gadi’s recent article on the faux claims of ‘Settler Violence’.   Also don’t miss the dumbest take of the day where he addresses the very real appeal within Trump’s base to shed military adventurism in preference of the America First perspective, something which Candace Owens and her Jew Hating allies are harnessing for their own ends, but only by perverting the truth that the coordination between Israel and the US provides America with the ability to seemlessly achieve the America First reality which Trump and his base want to pursue.

Peloni:  Highly recommended article!  Jonathan Tobin presents perhaps the most comprehensive response to the Western pro Hamas psychopaths which question the right and reason for Israel to choose security over terror, and safety over existential threats.  The insanity of the Western liberals who have chosen to champion the barbarians over civilized norms provides little reason to seek their approval, and every reason for Israel to secure herself into the future.

Netanyahu is correct in saying that any future Palestinian state would be a platform to destroy Israel. “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea is the eternal chant of the Palestinians, who are mostly descended from Ottoman South Syrians, many left wandering after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Israel’s Arab neighbors and Arab nationalists in the Palestinian region resisted the formation of a tiny Jewish state in 1948 in even a tiny portion of the enormous region that had long ago been conquered by the sword via jihad. They formed the Palestinian National Charter, with treacherous wording to justify the annihilation of the Jewish state as an Islamic religious mission:

Iran’s suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not a turning point. It is business as usual. Tehran’s decades-long strategy — deny, delay, deceive — continues, and the West still refuses to call it for what it is: a slow-motion march toward nuclear capability.

Peloni:  To be honest, I wrongly expected the bromance between Trump and Musk to fall apart much sooner than it did, but I was correct in expecting the zero sum nature consequences of the world’s greatest break-up.  As Musk continues to run off the rails, his threat of raising a spoiler event, in the form of a third party so similar to MAGA that it is indistinguishable, provides a real potential of revitalizing the far more destructive and far more radical part of Washington’s Uniparty which was just unseated in the last election.

Who’s right?

When President Donald Trump was asked on Monday about what he thought of Elon Musk’s new plan to launch a third party, he was characteristically forthright: “I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said. “We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

In general, Westerners are taught to be kind, self-assured, self-responsible and tolerant of others, while Muslims are taught to be aggressive, insecure and intolerant.

Ron Jager | Jul 10, 2025

When observing the daily demonstrations by Muslims and their radicalized supporters on the campuses and streets of America, I never cease to be amazed by the primal rage, overt hatred, and endless blaming of Jews they displayed. One cannot escape the question: why are Muslims so easily offended? When I see and hear these voices of hostility, I am reminded of the classic novel “Moby Dick” authored by Herman Melville

What the war on the Gaza Humanitarian Fund is really about.

By Daniel Greenfield

Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Code Pink signed a petition demanding that the Gaza Humanitarian Fund stop handing out food to Gaza’s Arab Muslim settlers. The Center for Constitutional Rights, a Communist-founded group which on Oct 7, declared that it “stands in solidarity” in response to “Palestinian armed resistance”, demanded that GHF “cease” handing out millions of free meals to Muslims or face charges of “genocide” and “war crimes”.

While most eyes are fixed on the war in Gaza, few realize that the real battle for Israel’s future is being fought by Netanyahu and Trump in the shadows, and this may be the most explosive story you haven’t heard.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s latest trip to Washington, his third this year and second meeting with President Donald Trump on this trip itself, sparked intense speculation: Was it about Gaza? Iran? A future regional deal?
