A delegation from the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) met with the new Syrian government in Damascus on June 1. The talks are aimed at fully integrating the autonomous eastern Syria region’s military and civilian institutions into the state’s new institutions. The meeting followed a March meeting between Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) leader Mazlum Abdi and Syrian President Ahmad al Sharaa, which became a turning point in talks between eastern Syria and Damascus.

• Iran Orders Missile Fuel Ingredient: Iran has ordered thousands of tons of a key ingredient in ballistic missile fuel from China as it seeks to rebuild its missile arsenal and those of its various terrorist proxies throughout the Middle East. According to a June 5 report in The Wall Street Journal, the Iranian Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin Co. recently ordered a large shipment of ammonium perchlorate from Hong Kong-based Lion Commodities Holdings Ltd., sufficient to provide fuel for an estimated 800 ballistic missiles. The Chinese Foreign Ministry denied being aware of the contract, saying that it strictly controls the export of “dual-use items.”

Given that a man shouted out, “Free Palestine” as he began to set Jews on fire, who had assembled with their pro-Israel group, “Run for Their Lives,” calling for the release of Israeli hostages, it seems odd that American law enforcement would claim to be investigating the possibility of this attack being antisemitically motivated.

The vibrant community of Boulder, CO, where the incident occurred, is home to an estimated 35,000 Jews, up from the 19,000 of a decade ago. It is now the site of an antisemitic terror attack perpetrated by an Egyptian national, illegal alien who had been admitted into the country under the Biden administration, per DHS (Department of Homeland Security) officials, according to a report from Breitbart News.

The normalization of anti-Jewish rhetoric undermines universal principles of equality and human dignity.

Sarah N. Stern | June 5, 2025

A Rubicon has been crossed. As so often has happened to the Jewish people throughout history, the hateful words that have been delivered in academia, on the media and in town halls by certain politicians have resulted in violent atrocities on Jews in Washington, D.C., and in Boulder, Colo.

Somehow, the words “From the river to the sea, Palestine should be free” have become an acceptable part of the American lexicon.

Peloni:  How is it that there is so little uproar over this 17-line amendment to the Federal system in the US around the vital topic of regulating AI?  It is impossible to consider how this passage was added to the bill, unless we consider the reality that those who themselves would face state level regulations are actually writing the regualtions.  We call this sort of carve out by self interest regulatory capture, and it was expected that this sort of self dealing was to be eliminated by Trump’s return to Washington, not reinforcing it.  This passage must be removed from any legislation being considered before the Congress.

Peloni:  The supremacy of Judicial tyrants will only grow greater in the face of capitulating to their outrageous efforts of overreach, something which first took form in Israel, but is now being practiced around the world to provide Leftist-Marxist-Jihadists with an unmatched power over the public in nations which were once considered to be democracies but are being not too subtly morphed into juristocracies.

It was sad to see President Trump bow to the will of liberal judges and bring back a terrorist gang member from El Salvador so he can “enjoy” the benefits of the American justice system and become a cause célèbre for the communist left.

Peloni:  The reckless moves towards open sedition continue to emerge from the opposition.  Israel is caught in a war against an existential enemy across 9 fronts simultaneously.  Regardless of the objections which might be raised against this or other policies, the ruling govt must be able to rely upon the character of the opposition and its members to be that of a loyal opposition and not that of a conspiratorial cabal intent upon using any and every pretext by which to replace unity around victory with isurrection and open betrayal.  It is a fine line to walk in disclosing sensitive confidential material, a line which must become all the more tenuos when that material might affect operational success during a war of survival such as Israel is facing today.

Exactly three hours after the start of Operation Moked, at 10:45, the war had been won. Approximately 300 Egyptian planes had been destroyed and all her airfields completely disabled.Then came the return of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, a spiritual and political seismic shift of epic proportions.

For most Americans, the date June 6th, is mostly remembered for the American and Allied invasion of France marking the beginning of the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000 men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships. For us in Israel and many Jewish communities throughout the world, June 6th is remembered as a day of miracles for the Jewish nation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
