Peloni: In the following linked article, Tablet’s Liel Leibovitz details how the widespread narrative of “Jewish settler terrorism” is exaggerated and often misleading, driven by media, political, and institutional incentives rather than supportive data.
Leibovitz explains that reports frequently conflate different types of incidents,especially combining Palestinian casualties from clashes with the Israeli military with alleged settler violence, thereby creating the appearance of a major trend. He further explains that cited cases omit key context, such as Palestinian attacks that preceded Israeli responses, and that statistical methods (e.g., by UN bodies) use overly broad definitions of “violence.”

Why 56% of Israeli Voters 18-22 Consider Themselves ‘Right Wing’
Peloni: Reality on the ground has had a palpable shift to the right, so much so that on a non-binding vote, the Knesset entirely (sans the Arab MKs) supported recognizing sovereignty in J&S. This was not imaginable three years ago. So, while the relevance and accuracy of polling can be debated, the changes are evident everywhere.
To best understand Israel, think of it as a reverse Europe.

This survey is getting a lot of attention.
According to a recent Maariv poll published this past week conducted by Lazar Research, led by Dr. Menahem Lazar in collaboration with Panel4All, a majority of first-time voters in Israel’s upcoming Knesset elections-young people between the ages of 18 and 22-identify as right-wing.

Same Regime, Different Face: The West’s Recurring Mistake in Iran
Peloni: Trump must prevent the Iranian regime from outlasting his administration. This is the unenviable outcome which will come from pursuing the Venezuela model in Iran. All the risks and all the costs which have been incurred upto this point will have come to naught if the IRGC is allowed to wait out Trump’s term, following which they will clearly move back towards their prior trajectory under a far less interested presidency, be it under someone like Vance or G_d forbid under a Democrat. They are responsible for the butchering of American citizens, the weaponizing of the drug trade, electoral tampering, and attempted assassinations of American leadership including President Trump himself. This regime must be ripped from its perch of power, root, stem and leaf, leaving no vestige behind to rekindle the flame of radicalism which will otherwise return to the state of blaze which will once again threaten the American people. This war must make an end of the Ayatollahs and the IRGC both. It is the only way to secure the safety of the region, the world and the American people.

For decades, the Iranian regime has played a calculated game. When pressure intensifies — whether economic, political or military — it introduces a figure portrayed as “moderate” or “pragmatic.” Today a similar narrative is emerging around Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. A closer examination of his record, however, exposes that he is not an outsider, reformer or transformative figure. He is a quintessential insider — a product of the system from its earliest days.

- For decades, the Iranian regime has played a calculated game. Every few years, when pressure intensifies — whether economic, political or military — it introduces a figure portrayed as “moderate” or “pragmatic.” This narrative was once built around figures like Presidents Mohammad Khatami and Hassan Rouhani, both marketed to the West as agents of change.

No Jews, No News: Iran and the Geometry of Selective Outrage Part 1

Abstract
The international Left prides itself on opposing tyranny, defending human rights, and standing with the oppressed. Yet when Iranians risk imprisonment and execution to challenge a theocratic dictatorship, global mobilization is faint. When Israel or Jews are implicated in conflict, outrage becomes immediate and absolute. This paper argues that this disparity is not episodic but systematic. The pattern can be summarized: No Jews, No News. The evidence is not hidden. United Nations resolutions and mainstream human rights reports make clear how condemnation gathers where Israel is involved and dissipates elsewhere. The roots of this asymmetry are historically and ideologically, embedded in currents of antisemitism. The issue is not whether Israel may be criticized. The issue is whether similar injustices elsewhere stir the same urgency and outrage. They do not.

Israel Considers Coordination with Syria Against Hezbollah
Peloni: This adds to the report made several days ago by Mudar Zahran regarding Syria’s involvement in dismantling Hezbollah. Such coordination provides both important opportunities and worrisome concerns with regards tackling Hezbollah, a Shiite terror organization which stands as a common enemy to both Syria/Turkey and Israel. Ultimately, this will further add to Turkey’s regional influence, if not an outright expansion of its already too well expanded empire, while also earning it a greater threat and forward access towards Israel, something which should call to mind Erdogan’s so often repeated goal of conquering Israel.
Israel is weighing partial security coordination with Syria amid Lebanon’s failure to rein in Hezbollah, potentially overseeing southern Lebanon while Syria handles the north; the Syrian Hermon may be returned, with talks, direct or U.S.-mediated, seen as a last-resort option.

Hezbollah sees potential win as Israel backs down from disarmament goal
Hezbollah views Israel’s shift away from disarming the group as a strategic win, believing that the Israeli climbdown will benefit its survival and influence in Lebanon.

Hezbollah appears to be keenly listening to recent Israeli reports that indicate the IDF will not be able to disarm the Iranian-backed terrorist group.
These reports began circulating in the media on Friday and have continued to percolate.

Egypt’s Foreign Policy Chaos: What It Reveals About Israel’s Strategic Clarity

A candid and increasingly frustrated Arabic-language commentary by Khaled Hassan, a National Security & Foreign Policy Expert and Council Member of Israeli President’s Voice of the People Initiative, has been circulating in Egyptian political circles, and its message is as striking as it is revealing. Hassan — proud of his heritage, proud of his nation’s storied civilization — poses a deceptively simple question to the Egyptian government, its elites, and its people: What do Egyptians actually want?

AI and Antisemitism
Peloni: Natasha Hausdorff and Prof. Richard Susskind, the world’s most cited author on the future of legal services and a leading expert on the impact of AI on society, discusses both the challenges and opportunities which are available in the war on antisemitism with the the advancing developments and employment of artificial intelligence. He cautions that this is not a simple topic, and that this discussion should be understood to be more of an introduction rather than an encompassing review of the topic.

US rescues second downed crewman from Iranian territory in complex operation involving multiple aircraft
Peloni: Two C130s were lost during Sunday’s rescue of the second airman. See footage below the All Israel News article which shows the remains of these downed planes after US forces targeted them to prevent them falling into the hands of the Iranians.
Note additionally, the second plane that went down on Friday, an A-10 Warthog attack plane, was lost while coordinating with ongoing rescue attempts to secure the safe return of the two airmen from the downed F-15E.
Confirmed!!! We got him! Second Airman rescued!
This sounds like one hell of a battle. Evidently they knew where he was since he was first shot down but we had to fight our way to him.

Break the Stalemate—or Iran Wins
The Demonstration of U.S. and Israeli Military Superiority Has Not Yet Produced a Positive, Victorious Outcome from the Israeli and American Point of View

The current round of fighting between Israel, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran appears to have reached a stalemate. On the one hand, Iran is being pummelled by US and Israeli air power, against which it can mount no effective defense. At the same time, the demonstration of US and Israeli military superiority has not, until now at least, produced a positive, victorious outcome from the Israeli and American point of view.
