Brotherhood’s Mirror: Two Sides, One Ideology  

By Jalal Tagreeb

Image created via AI

In a video that has circulated widely across Arabic-speaking platforms, Egyptian-born commentator and national security researcher Khaled Hassan delivered what can only be described as a devastating, and unwitting, vindication of Israel’s strategic position in the Middle East. Hassan’s analysis, sharp and unapologetic, was aimed squarely at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Brotherhood, and what he characterized as their shared ideological DNA. But in laying bare the contradictions, fear, and strategic paralysis of Saudi Arabia, Hassan inadvertently stripped away the last remaining pretexts for the Arab world’s hostility toward the Jewish state.

The sacred science of voting  

Peloni:  Electoral responsibility is one of the most solemn and vital aspects of modern democracies, and it is often the most overlooked.  I read a report in recent weeks about some who are anticipating not voting in the coming Israeli elections.  Such a move would be a catastrophic choice .

Not voting is, effectively, a vote in favor of the noxious democratic socialist program.

Leonard Grunstein | Aug 11, 2026

Voting is a sacred duty; however, making it truly count is a science. I remember well studying the subject in political science in college and applying the cogent lessons we were taught, in practice, as a member of my community.

October 7th – what went wrong?  

Operational blindness or a deliberate strategic plan that went wrong? Will we ever know?

Photo via Youtube

On July 26, 2026 Dr. Avi Perry published an article titled “Was Haniyeh the double-agent behind October 7?”. Dr. Perry presents a convincing argument suggesting that Ismail Haniyeh may have acted as a double agent, successfully misleading Israeli intelligence regarding Hamas’s true strategic intentions, causing the IDF to ignore warning signs and thus enabling October 7th. It is very possible that he is right.

Making Peace to Make War  

Peloni: Peace is something of a mirage which seems to vanish with every step taken in pursuit of it.  Indeed, if we are truly interested in finding peace, it would be best if we ignored it altogether in preference of seeking promoting the highest state of preparation with which to respond as the mirage of peace might disappear.  Indeed, the conditions under which peace might be achievable requires a sort of oxymoronic twist of our focus, ie peace could only be made possible when defense preparations are maintained and maximized and the topic of peace is entirely isolated from our dialogue and our diplomatic entreaties.  By doing so, when or if the underlying Hudna is finally revealed, the state of national preparation will not fail Israel as it failed  the Quraysh tribe in Mecca so long ago.  Indeed, if the Arabs want peace, let them act accordingly, and it is noteworthy, and revealing, that far too few of them actually do so.  Focusing on outmatching the capabilities of  neighboring nations, rather than on any sweet and enticing promises which they might speak as it might suit their weaknesses, is how falling afoul of the fate of the Quraysh tribe will be avoided.  Take note that with regards to the situation with Iran today, the best way to secure peace with a irascible nation is to see it defeated utterly, and failing this, well, we would simply have to maintain a posture and state of readiness such that, at a moment’s notice, such a defeat can be delivered in any event as needs require it.  In the years which follow, should no such need come to fruition, the visage of peace might develop should the hostile intentions of the nation in question finally recede into acceptance.  Indeed, this is very similar to the premise of the Iron Wall which Jabotinsky spoke about over a century ago, where the Arabs would grasp that our national resolve was so great that they would finally submit to the reality of our vigilance and capabilities.  Yet, for this to come to fruition, we must maintain the reality of our vigilance and capabilities, both to keep the peace, and if necessary, to win the war which might surprise us as it did the Quraysh tribe just before they found themselves vanquished.

In the good old days, Arabs would just rant with wild unabashed rhetoric about destroying Israel outright and driving Israelis into the sea. They would threaten Israel openly, blockade shipping, eject UN “peacekeeping troops,” launch a variety of terrorist attacks, initiate global boycotts of Israel and the companies that do business with Israel, etc. Today, while the chants of freeing “Palestine” “from the river to the sea” still mean driving Israel into the same sea and eliminating the Jewish state, their tactics have changed from outright hostility and threats to something even more nefarious but not new.

Muslim Brotherhood Celebrates El-Sayed’s Primary Victory

The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to spread Islam all over the globe and to ensure, as Muhammad said, that “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.” Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia have designated it as a terrorist group, and the United States has declared its intention to similarly designate two Brotherhood chapters. So what should we think of Abdul el-Sayed when the Muslim Brotherhood hails his slim victory over Haley Stevens, and El-Sayed does not reject the terror group’s support? More on Abdul el-Sayed’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood can be found here: “Muslim Brotherhood Publication Celebrates Abdul El-Sayed Primary Victory,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, August 10, 2026:

A Herd of “Wild Asses of Men”(Gen: 16:11)  

By Sha’i ben-Tekoa 

The other day in Athens, a source of Western civilization, a 26-year-old, uncivilized Muslim psychopath left a suitcase in an abandoned building containing the dead, presumably dismembered body of Elizabeth Ross, a 38-year-old British woman. The Muslim was reported to have murdered her, because, as he told his wife, she would not stop talking about her Christian faith.

Antisemitism In Canada Reached A Dangerous New Level In July 2026  

New data, violent attacks and national security warnings point to a deepening crisis for Canada’s Jewish community.

By Ron East | TheJ.ca | August 11, 2026

July 2026 marked one of the most alarming months in Canada’s ongoing antisemitism crisis, with violent assaults, terrorism investigations, new government warnings and fresh statistical data collectively pointing to an environment in which Jewish Canadians continue to face unprecedented threats to their safety and security.

While antisemitism has been steadily increasing for several years, the developments throughout July demonstrated that the issue has evolved beyond hate speech and vandalism into a sustained public safety and national security challenge.

Kushner Pressures Israel to Accept the Re-designed Roadmap Plan  

Linda Goudsmit:  I cannot say this often enough, strong enough, or loud enough: Neither Jared Kushner nor Steve Witkoff should be negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of President Trump and the United States. Kushner and Witkoff are not America 1st MAGA representatives, they are both self-serving real estate developers more interested in personal profits than American national security.

Things are different in the ME. Islamic religious doctrine is paramount. The only benefit of lucrative business deals for Islamic countries is that the profits finance the 1400-year unchanged goal of Islamic religious doctrine which is to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate. The royal families in Islamic countries are worried about being overthrown by their sharia compliant Islamic populations. So, what they say in English to the West and what they say in Arabic to their Muslim populations are not the same. The only country in the ME that shares Western Judeo-Christian values, morality, and culture is the tiny, democratic, Jewish State of Israel––our natural, cultural, and strategic ally and partner for peace.

For Kushner and Witkoff to court Islamic countries at the expense of Israel is a short-sighted, catastrophic cultural, strategic, and tactical error. Regime change in Iran that ousts its terrorist Islamic theocracy is what brings peace and prosperity to the ME––but the globalist elite do not want peace and prosperity because neverending wars are a cash cow for them. The globalist elite are the enemies of freedom who support Iranian hegemony in the ME because it guarantees a neverending income stream. And the Kushner/Witkoff “peace deals” guarantee neverending wars because their “peace partners” are doctrinal enemies of the State of Israel and of the United States of America!

An important article by World Israel News describes Jared Kushner as having emerged as the key figure pressing Israel to accommodate the new US-backed Gaza roadmap, which should be notably recalled to have retooled and reordered Trump’s original 20-Point Plan so as to accomodate Hamas in coordination with Qatar, Turkey and Egypt.  The WIN article also details that President Donald Trump has specifically refrained from pressuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the growing dispute with his son-in-law, but has publicly given his support for the Roadmap.

Lebanese Christian Leader: Shiites Must Declare ‘Intifada’ Against Hezbollah  

Peloni:  Unfortunately, the Lebanese Shia community has acted Hezbollah’s greatest allies rather than victims over the years, and even today, as Trump acts to preempt the targeted assassinations in Shia strongholds in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon, he is in fact supporting the Shia communities perception that Hezbollah’s days are not yet likely numbered due to the protection being afforded to Hezbollah by the US.  So, whether the Shia recognize themselves to be victims or allies of Hezbollah, the effort to preserve this terror entity in Lebanon with only the laughable efforts of the Hezbollah infiltrated LAF to act as the heavy against these Iranian satraps will in no way lead to a surging revolt by the Lebanese Shia against Hezbollah, no matter if these Iranian brigands are recognized by the local Shia community as being their masters or collogues.  American sentiments in preventing the uprooting of terrorists wherever they reside is having an effect, and that effect is not diminishing the power and influence of the relative terrorists in their terror enclaves, but rather it is enhancing it.  Hence, so long as the threat of foreign intervention against Hezbollah fails to seriously materialize, don’t look for any intifada rising against Hezbollah from the Lebanese Shia community.

The Christians and the Sunni Muslims in Lebanon have for decades been the sworn enemies of the Shi’ite terror group Hezbollah, which is a tool of the Islamic Republic. Now Sami Gemayel, the leader of the Christian Kataeb Party, has called on the Lebanese Shi’a to rise up and wage an “Intifada” against Hezbollah.

Islamism 101  

Peloni:  This is an important article by FDD’s Clifford May .  The lack of seriousness with which the US handles itself with Islamists as partners, advisors and confidants is a chilling metaphor for what is all too likely to follow as Islamist enclaves are today spotted rising across the continental US, Islamist politicians are seeking and gaining high office, and as Islamists influence peddling is normalized rather than chastised.  Islamists are infiltrating US education, its political parties and its institutions, all while the name Al-Banna remains relatively unknown in a nation which was once known as the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.   The threat to America and Americanism is inside the wire, advising the highest offices of American political elites, and impacting what will be the future of the American Republic.  History is rhyming, and the insidious plan of the Muslim Brotherhood to do what the Soviets failed to achieve is advancing with an all too chilling degree to anyone interested and informed enough to recognize the looming Islamist capture of America for what it is.

America’s leaders refuse to do their homework
