In a surprising move, the Shas party announced its ministers would resign from the government, but the party would not leave the coalition, amid the ongoing row over a new IDF draft law and sanctions for Haredi draft dodgers.
Peloni: The disconnect between Trump and his base regarding the importance of transparency on this topic breaks with Trump’s heretofore uncanny ability to grasp the sensitivities expressed by his base. Doubling down amid public criticisms, along with Allen Dershowitz acknowledging that the files do exist, have only served to widen dissent in his base over this controversy. The political consequences for this will only grow greater as the mid terms approach, to the benefit of the Never Trumpers and their Democratic allies.
President Donald Trump compared the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” to Russiagate in a lengthy Truth Social post Wednesday, blasting his “past” supporters for buying it.
Peloni: FDD’s Jonathan Schanzer explains the objection of having a terrorist regime acting as a good faith objective partner in negotiations which include one of their sponsored terrorist groups. Noting the bipartisan aspect of US govts employing the Qataris as if they were trustworthy, he further notes the close ties between Qatar and many people in Trump’s govt, and calls for an end to Qatar’s Major Non-Nato Ally status.
The Myth and the Truth.
Back in 2008, a British vicar banned the Christmas carol “O Little Town of Bethlehem” from his services following his pilgrimage to the West Bank city.
The Rev. Stephen Coulter said the carol’s lyrics don’t reflect the reality in Bethlehem, attacked Israel’s actions in the West Bank, primarily the security wall and the roadblocks telling the British newspaper The Times that he was “shocked at how the Arab-Israeli conflict that has raged around the West Bank town has decimated its population, wrecked its economy and hit tourism.”

Let’s be clear about the term non-governmental organization. According to Wikipedia:
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a typically nonprofit organization that operates partially independent of government control, though an NGO may get a significant percentage, or even all of its funding from government sources. NGOs often focus on humanitarian or social issues but can also include clubs and associations offering services to members. Some NGOs, like the World Economic Forum, may also act as lobby groups for corporations. Unlike international organizations (IOs), which directly interact with sovereign states and governments, NGOs are independent from them.
Peloni: Pursuing a split vote in NCY against Mamdani is the pathway towards a Mamdani victory. While my sympathies lie with Sliwa, only a single candidate can afford to be on the ballot on election day. The question is whether the interests of Sliwa, Adams and cuomo can be managed in such a way as to meet this challenge, or if they will collectively act as co-spoilers to their rivals and thereby make a Marxist Islamist mayor over the Big Apple. The preference of significant distinctions between opposition groups is what has kept the Mullahs in power in Iran over the past many decades. Such an outcome can not be allowed to take place in NYC.

Peloni: Important context for the gathering storm in Syria. Meanwhile, PM Netanyahu is asking the Israeli Druze to stay out of Syria while he is employing the IDF, Air Force and other assets in dealing with the situation.
BREAKING: Israel passed a message to Al-Julani via Egyptian mediation: ‘Your regime will fall within hours unless you cease the massacre against the Druze and withdraw.”

Peloni: The 30 x 30 initiatives were part of a govt land grab of private property begun under the Biden administration, support for which was inexplicably included in Trump’s BBB which recently passed without being removed. Read more about this in “THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HAS WORMS IN IT” under the section labeled “Biden’s 30 X 30 Land Grab”.
The Trump administration rescinded Biden’s 30×30 (America the Beautiful) scheme on day one of his second term in office, but multiple states continue the destructive path to permanently set-aside 30 percent of their lands and waters by 2030.

California just released its 2025 Progress Report showing that the state has protected over one million acres of land and coastal waters in just one year. This includes 853,000 acres of land and 191,000 acres of coastal waters.

A reflection on the false narratives.
by
In the article “How the West got the Israel-Iran war so wrong,” by Adam Slonim, Times of Israel, July 1, 2025, Adam Slonim applies Aristotelian rhetoric to analyze the false narratives being spread about Israel’s campaign to defend itself against those — Hamas, Iran — who would destroy it
Peloni: The path to victory lies not thru negotiations, but thru the completion of the war. What Gaza needs it the declaration of Unconditional Surrender, no partial deals and no caveats, with the only choice left to the barbarians of October 7 to be for them to surrender today or die tomorrow. Erecting an iron wall policy to support such iron wall rhetoric as declared in this interview is the way to break the spirit of the enemy, leaving them no hope of prolonging their lives, and no value in capturing more hostages. Only the certitude of Hamas’ imminent destruction, and nothing less, will achieve the plan of Victory! Victory! Victory! The way to do this is to enact a sincere policy of Unconditional Surrender, and stop surrendering victories to these butchers.

Naturally, in the pursuit of honest reporting, the intrepid investigators, who take their queues from the Tucker Carlson’s suggestion that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent, find themselves asking the pertinent question, if Epstein was Mossad, what evidence can we squirrel together to demonstrate this fact.
Peloni: This was an important conversation between Yishai and Gen. Avivi over the relevance of the hostages being present in Gaza.

The Massacre No One’s Talking About—and the Dangerous Fantasy of “Peace” With Jolani’s Syria
In just the past 24 hours, the new Sunni jihadist regime in Syria has massacred hundreds of Druze in southern Syria, stormed the largest Druze city, and the world remains shamefully silent.
The Druze are a small, tightly knit community, most of whom live in Syria, with the vast majority concentrated in the city of Sweida, that Jolani’s troops have just invaded with thousands of other Sunni jihadi ISIS fighters.
Peloni: Important discussions about Syria and peace.
Peloni: Must watch video of one of Netanyahu’s closest advisors discussing the war, Iran, politics and more.
Peloni: Jolani is trying to assert his authority in the south, in the territory which Israel has marked as their area of influence in support of the Druze. Isis affilated Bedouin attacked the Druze, and Jolani moved govt forces to put down the violence, and of course, to disarm the Druze. Israel acted on its threats in defense of the Druze and attacked a govt column of tanks moving into the south. This is likely not going to be enough to keep Jolani out.
