Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to dismiss the director of the domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, and the fierce opposition to it, threatens to plunge Israel back into the days of daily mass protests and ominous warnings of civil war. So, what happened?

After months of rising tensions behind the scenes, Netanyahu announced on Sunday evening his intention to fire Bar.

The intelligence chief responded by repudiating the prime minister’s rationale for the move, the personal lack of trust, and said he intended to continue in his position.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | March 6, 2025

*500,000 Arabs, who have been away for over a year, are included in the census, contrary to international regulations. 325,000 were included in the 1997 census, and 400,000 in 2005, according to the Palestinian Election Commission. 100,000 overseas births were added to the census between 1995 and 2014, according to the Palestinian Undersecretary of Interior.

*380,000 East Jerusalem Arabs are doubly-counted – by Israel and by the Palestinian Authority. The number grows steadily due to births.

*Over 200,000 Arabs, who married Israeli Arabs are similarly doubly counted. The number expands steadily due to births.

Think whatever you want about Netanyahu.

We should all be scared by how utterly disdainful Israel’s unelected deep state elites have become of democracy & the elected government.

How insistent they have become that any challenge to their power – power which would be considered absurd and outrageous in the U.S. – is a threat to the essence of Israeli democracy.

Peloni: The apoplectic effect of the war between the effective Juristocracy and the failing democratic institutions in Israel should serve as the example of what lies ahead for America should the unbridled tyranny of judges not be reversed.  Indeed, the whimsical nature of judicial overreach in the US is coming to parallel in direction, while not yet the degree, of that being exercised as the basis of a Juristocracy in Israel.  The tyranny of unelected rogues ruling based on fantastical and damaging ideologies rather than legal precedents and standards, if not codified laws, is a rising and eminent threat to democracy in the US.  The damaging aspects of this threat can be judged simply by witnessing the daily outrages exacted in Israel by the application of arbitrary power from the judicial tyranny which is overruling the application of democracy with reckless abandon.  Indeed, America should carefully consider these outrages, and in solidarity with the Constitution, demand that justice be practiced based upon legal frameworks rather than partisan objectives.  Failing this, America will come to suffer the fate of having to wrench its democratic rights back from these rogues draped in black, and as the example of Israel should indicate, such a process is neither easily achieved nor assured of quick success.  Instead, what is assured is the loss of respect, both domestically and abroad, for the national institutions which have come to be the envy of aspiring democracies in every age since the Founding Fathers first began the American experiment.

Goudsmit Linda: In Britain as in the U.S., population jihad is is the Cloward-Piven strategy for economic collapse on steroids. The globalist elite have welcomed millions of Muslims with hostile norms into western countries to INTENTIONALLY collapse the host country’s economy, and to create cultural chaos. Population jihad is a powerful globalist weapon of war being used to destroy western nation-states from within, in order to impose globalism’s planetary objective: the totalitarian Unistate managed by the lethally corrupt United Nations and its associated organizations. Understanding this inconvenient truth is essential. We are a world at war: Globalism vs. Nation-State. In the United States, President Donald Trump and his DOGE team led by Elon Musk, have exposed USAID as the financial motherlode of globalist corruption that funds its War on America in America with American taxpayer money! These same organizations are operational worldwide and are collapsing the economies of western nations, and attacking the Judeo-Christian tradition that is the infrastructure of western culture. The key is understanding that every destructive policy is INTENTIONAL! We are a world at war whether people realize it or not, and denial is not a survival strategy.

Peloni:  The relevance of this 2023 proposed study stands today as being arguably more relevant than ever.  Note that UNRWA now operates on a $1.6 billion budget and not as stated in this proposal which was written two years ago.

David Bedein | Center For Near East Policy Research Ltd | Original Proposal Dated 2023

Israeli corporations have a de facto monopoly on the provision of supplies to Gaza  and other PA areas. The ability of these corporations to sustain their exclusive  control of this multi-billion dollar market is wholly dependent on COGAT  (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) decision making. Over the past several weeks, COGAT has raised an alarm that humanitarian aid from  UNRWA is not reaching the Palestinian population. Noting that this alarm is  inconsistent with 1000 trucks a day carrying Israeli products into Gaza, the Center for  Near East Policy Research (CFNEPR) contacted 44 donor nations. With the exception  of a nominal reduction in U.S. aid, every donor nation responded emphatically that  UNRWA and hence Gaza, is receiving 100% of its customary donations, an amount  that CFNEPR calculates to be $1.2 billion dollars per year.

Peloni:  This technology has the potential of completely changing the existing operational battlefield strategies which are significantly designed around the use of drone technology.  Sort of a technological Titan used to sley or at least diminish another technological Titan.  As discussed in the report below, it has long been anticipated that this technology was within sight, so hopefully this latest report is more accurate than previous reports in making the claim of it being available within a years time.

Peloni:  In every war, the liberties of democratic nations are necessarily restrained.  Men are asked to commit as routine such acts which would otherwise be seen to be formidable crimes as they do so in defense and preservation of the nation and its heritage and institutions.  The recent onslaught on America’s borders represents an assault upon the American people,  the likes of which they have never faced before, not in the scope of villains and enemies which have invaded the localities of the American homeland, nor in the numbers which have been motivated by the Left and their foreign allies to overrun and swamp the American people.  This is the context under which Trump has applied the use of this strategy, and it indicates both the degree to which such a measure as the Aliens Sedition Act has become necessary, as well as the determination by which Trump intends to succeed while facing this challenge.

President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) on Saturday, making gang members liable to immediate arrest and removal as “Alien Enemies” of the U.S.

Perspectives Paper No. 2,336, March 13, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Hamas seeks to end the war while maintaining its military control over Gaza, mirroring Hezbollah’s pre-war dominance in Lebanon. Israel must not allow this to happen, even if Egypt pushes for it.

Peloni:  It is important to understand the similarity between the views held by Davis and those expressed by Gabbard prior to her joining the Trump bandwagon.  Indeed, Davis’ pro-Pal, pro-Iran, anti-Trump positions, complete with the full support of the TSS all hallmarked Gabbard’s prior advocacy, which should inform us as to her reasons for picking Davis for this vital role on her staff.  It would be best if the Trump administration took note of this fact as being more relevant than accidental, as Gabbard could hardly be unaware of Davis’ perspective which mimicked that of Gabbard’s own perspective for a very long time.  It is also curious, if not revealing, that one day before this story broke, Gabbard went on a multi-nation Indo-Pacific trip abroad.  Prior to Gabbard’s confirmation, I questioned, Why is Gabbard’s Judgement So Bad, and Why is it So Relevant.  It seems that her highly significant and highly sensitive position leading the DNI has not improved her judgement, and notably, it remains quite relative to her ability to fulfil the obligations of this significant position, something which I also noted previously.

Peloni:  Notice Trump is not just holding the Houthis accountable for their attack on international shipping, but he is also directly threatening Iran as well for their support of the Houthis.  Something which has been long overlooked, and continues to be overlooked with threats and condemnations of Hamas and Hezbollah.   Victory over any and all of these terror proxies requires addressing the source of these proxies, which of course is Iran.
