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’

All Israel News Staff | Published: July 10, 2025

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:  Video in Hebrew with Translation below.  Netanyahu remains defiant that though there are preconditions following the two months ceasefire, by diplomacy if possible, and by war if necessary, four demands will be met: “Hamas must disarm, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Hamas can no longer have any governing or military capabilities.”

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.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence participate in an expanded bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday, Jan. 27, 2020, in the Oval Office of the White House. (By The White House from Washington, DC – President Trump Meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Public Domain, Wikipedia)

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?

Peloni:  Egyptian born, British national security expert Khaled Hassan provides an important context of the realigning shifts among the Arab states in the wake of Iran’s power decimation, American regional withdrawal, and growing Jihadi radicalism.   He also provides a description of the rampant antisemitism in Egypt as well as how it relates to the generations long held fiction which tells of the Egyptians victory over Israel in the Yom Kippur war, and how this is impacting Egyptian society and geopolitics to this day.

After Israel’s twelve-day war with Iran, the Iranians — humiliated by the amount of information the Israelis had acquired about their country that allowed them to assassinate leading military men and nuclear scientists, and to attack nuclear sites that had been kept top secret, such as the facility at Parchin, the Iranians began to flail about. In a fury, they rounded up hundreds of those they called Israeli spies, but there is reason to believe that their hysteria misled them, and the real spies are still methodically plying their trade inside Iran, while those picked up, the Iranians to their chagrin will discover, turn out to be innocent after all.
