Peloni:  Judicial review is an important concept, but it needs to be tied to established institutional doctrine which the the Founding Fathers of the US, unlike those of Israel, had the good wisdom to enshrine in a single document, ie the US Constitution.   The further the US strays from this arrangement, the greater they will be transformed into a nation ruled by a black robed junta.  To see how bad things can get, look to Israel today.

Should America’s constitutional republic ever fall, the most likely cause of death will be its corrupt institutions. When citizens lose faith in the “system” and have exhausted all available remedies to “fix” that “system,” they will feel wholly disconnected from the government that rules over them. A cascade of institutional crises will exacerbate public distrust in the “system” until the “system’s” legitimacy collapses.

Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki makes the case that the plan being suggested in a recent report by Axios where the Gazans will be housed in the Israeli controlled part of Gaza is actually provided for in Trump’s original plan under Point #17.  The only distinction is that Point 17 explicitly states that the Gazans will be held in territories which the IDF transfer to the ISF, the proposed Arab armed force for which the composition is still highly obscure.   So, as Israel has fulfilled its part of the Trump plan, withdrawing even further than indicated, the Arabs states and Hamas have each failed to honor their part of the deal, something which should surprise few.  Yet, the consequence of this is that the IDF controlled territory is now to harbor what the Trump’s 20 point plan describes as New Gaza.  In other words, Israel evacuated from its forward positions, only to be burdened with controlling the territory on which the Gazans, some thousands of which participated in October 7, will now be housed.  This is not only significantly different from what Trump’s 20 point plan called for, it defies the very reason which Netanyahu ostensibly gave for not wanting the IDF to control Gaza throughout the war, ie, that the IDF would have to patrol the Gazan people.

Peloni: Is there no limit to the sacrifices which Israel must make to permit this failing peace plan move forward?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yielded to American pressure. He has agreed to let the 200 Hamas fighters still in tunnels under Rafah, on the east side of the Yellow Line that demarcates where the IDF and Hamas forces in Gaza are in control, to go free. It’s a terrible concession on the part of the Israelis, who had earlier been determined to wipe out all the Hamas fighters who had been in tunnels to the east of the Yellow Line, terrorists who now will be allowed not just to escape being killed by the IDF, that had them trapped in those tunnels, but Israel has apparently agreed as well that it will not even hold them as prisoners.

A recent poll of Palestinians in Judea and the Shomron, reported by Gatestone Institute journalist Khaled Abu Toameh, should provide a cold-water shower for those who were extrapolating even greater things coming from the undeniably amazing achievement of a cease-fire deal that saw the release of all of Israel’s living hostages.

Peloni:  Excellent essay as always from Victor Sharpe.

By Victor Sharpe

Ask one hundred people in the United States what a dhimmi is and perhaps twenty might know. In Western Europe the number would be slightly higher because of latent memories of battles fought against invading Moslem armies over hundreds of years.

In 732, Charles Martel led his Frankish forces at Tours to victory against an Islamic invasion of France, which nearly destroyed Christian Europe. Similarly, Islam was ousted from Spain in 1492 after an occupation of the Iberian Peninsula by the Moslems for hundreds of years.
