This week, the world was fed another lie: that Israeli troops deliberately opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza.

Peloni:  How is it that this woman has not already been apprehended, tried, convicted and executed for the crimes she committed twenty years ago.  The Hashemites have only survived the past decades in power due to US presence and support.  Jordan receives the largest aid package in history from the US.  And yet we are to believe that the US lacks the leverage to bring this butcheress to justice in an American court??  This is simply not true.

Frimet and Arnold Roth, the parents of Malki Roth, a US citizen who was killed at age 15 in the 2001 Sbarro Pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem, met last month with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to deliver a petition urging the extradition of the attack’s orchestrator, Hamas terrorist Ahlam Tamimi, from Jordan.

Peloni:  Threatening Russia’s nuclear capabilities is something which should not be taken lightly.  To be certain it won’t be so by the Russians.  Trump should follow Flynn’s advice, and take what actions are necessary to  reestablish American actions in accord with American interests.  This certainly would not include using the terms of nuclear treaties to support such an attack on the Russian nuclear capabilities.  Take further note that as the drones were smuggled into Russia during a state of war with closed borders and nil trade with the West, the US border has been left wide open for years with the movement of men and material unfettered at its border…

It is at moments like this when I wish General Michael Flynn had not comprehensively compromised his ability to provide advice and counsel to President Donald Trump. This is great advice shared via Twitter:

Did you know? French and Russian fascists created a panic that caused WWII and the Shoa (Holocaust)

Breaking from Azraq Al-Yamama (“Rabbi of Arabia”):
There is a very high geological probability of an offshore earthquake that could strike the region.
Israel has warned several Arab countries of the incoming threat.
The likelihood exceeds 70%, and we are praying for a miracle from God to prevent it.

Peloni:  Geoffrey provides a great deal of clarity in reviewing the efforts, expense and import placed upon the Eurovision competition.  Highly recommended article.  

By Geoffrey Clarfield | June 2, 2025

Israeli popular singer Yuval Raphael recently  came in second in this year’s Eurovision song festival. She deserves our heartfelt congratulations during this dark time for Israel and the Jewish people.

Peloni:  Schwartz’ Ghosts of a Holy War is a highly recommended book for its reminder that ignoring history will only lead to its retelling in great and terrible ways in future ages.

With the anniversary of the Six Day War and reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 this week, I was reminded about the liberation of, and Jewish return to Hebron for the first time that year since 1929 when 67 Jews were massacred.

Latest Developments

• Three Israeli Soldiers Killed: A roadside bomb killed three Israeli soldiers and wounded two others on June 2 during IDF operations in northern Gaza. The casualties were named as combat medics Staff Sgt. Lior Steinberg, 20, Staff Sgt. Ofek Barhana, 20, and squad commander Staff Sgt. Omer Van Gelder, 22 — all members of the Givati Brigade. The soldiers’ Humvee took a direct hit from one of more than 20 explosive devices planted along the road near Jabalia while escorting an army fire truck out of Gaza.
• Claims of Casualties at Aid Site: The Red Cross and the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry claimed on June 3 that at least 27 Palestinians were killed near a Safe Distribution Site run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) near Khan Younis. The IDF did not confirm any casualties but stated that IDF troops fired “near individual suspects” who continued to approach the site outside of the designated safe corridor despite troops initially firing warning shots. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said, “Hamas wants to control the food, and through it, to control the people,” by sending “young people to riot” and “shoot at Gazans making their way to the sites.”

Peloni: The only purpose for Iran in these negotiations is to ignore any binding effort to block their nuclear ambitions, and to try to get Washington to accept an interim agreement, permanently, such that they will keep their nuclear capabilities and only pause their nuclear enrichment while maintaining US restraint on Israel indefinitely.  The only question is whether Trump will move towards such a posture of mimicking the policy failures which he ridiculed before coming to office.  The answer to this question will determine the fate of the Iranians, the Israelis and the Americans, all at the same time.

The White House presented the new deal as a ‘‘detailed and acceptable proposal,” but it does not suffice for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Of course this should not be a surprise to anyone. The Islamic Republic will not agree to any deal that has any possibility whatsoever of restraining the Islamic regime.

Not Like Pearl Harbor

Peloni:  Martin provides a clarion call for the mounting levels of insanity which are taking form as insurrection against the legitimately elected Israeli govt, and the need to recognize the terrible consequences which might result if these outrages continue to be left to fester as if they do not represent a clear and present threat to the nation’s survival.

By MARTIN SHERMAN

 The only way to prevent a civil war in Israel is to acknowledge its impending outbreak, so that steps can be taken to forestall it.

Israel is on the brink of civil war. An irreconcilable rift is beginning to open up between rival segments of Israeli society, which no amount of unilateral goodwill can amicably bridge. The tectonic fault lines, threatening to split the nation’s societal fabric asunder, center on Benjamin Netanyahu’s tenacious hold on power, despite multiple attempts to pry it loose.

Weaponizing the legal system

Having seemingly despaired of the possibility of defeating him at the polls, his adversaries have turned—more clumsily than not—to weaponising the legal system as a means of realizing their political goals.
