Peloni:  While I am hesitant to advocate Saudis demonstrating a keen ability on the battlefield, they are gaining the support of American advanced hardware systems, American military protection, and more than just access to influencing the President of the US.  So why would the US President not insist on the Saudis doing what they have yet to successfully do, act in such a way that actually demonstrates their military partnership with the US.

What America saw in the Senate hearings of Anthony Fauci on Wednesday is the end state of the toxic paternalism of an incompetent bureaucracy.  The numerous discrepancies between Fauci’s diary entries and his public pronouncements over the Covid-19 pandemic were not just self-protection cover-up of his earlier disastrous decisions, they reflect the standard model of public health administration: we know better than you how to manage a pandemic, and in fact we know it so well that we refuse to discuss any of it and instead use censorship and smear of contrary expertise, and coercion rather than persuasion to effect our policies.

Odds are it will not despite the Prime Minister’s Support

A senior Israeli official, likely Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recently briefed the ?Israeli press? delegation who traveled to Washington? in support of Netanyahu’s White House visit, regarding plans ?for Israel to build a domestic stealth fighter plane and an accompanying UCAV. The primary motivation?, the Prime Minister has said in the recent past, is to ensure Israel can support its own aircraft without depending on the goodwill of outside suppliers. This concern has been heightened by recent military export suspensions from the UK, disruptions from France, and past supply delays from the United States under various administrations.

Peloni:  There can be no honest defense in using the term “West Bank” in lieu of the honest titles of the lands of Judea and Samaria.  Meanwhile acquiescing to those advocating such rewrites on the history, geography and civilizational record of these lands.

Using the term “West Bank” shows how thoroughly some Israelis have internalized the language of their adversaries.

Dr. Alex Grobman | Aug 3, 2026

A revealing dispute has erupted inside Israel’s left-wing Democrats Party over whether its leader, Yair Golan, should use the term “Judea and Samaria” or not. Gaby Lasky, a former radical left Meretz member who placed sixth in the party’s recent primary, reportedly demanded that Golan use the supposedly more acceptable term “West Bank.” Golan rejected the premise, correctly responding that “Judea and Samaria” is not inherently a right-wing expression.

The controversy is not trivial, and it is not merely semantic. It demonstrates how thoroughly some Israelis have internalized the language of their adversaries. Before debating whether Jews may live in Judea and Samaria, they are being asked to concede that Jews may not even call these regions by their historical names.

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been named a terrorist organization in Texas and Florida, and this is not just a symbolic gesture; it could, in fact, have far-reaching implications. But the unsavory gang of traitors, saboteurs and jihad enablers that calls itself a “leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding” is working energetically to protect its assets, albeit in ways that are, not surprisingly, questionable at best.

Peloni:  Jews have always thrived in societies which promote equality before the law, and to the degree that a given society fails this test, the standards of Jew Hatred are remain ever ready to victimize the Jews as has occurred in every age, and we can see this image of societal betrayal unfolding in America perhaps nowhere so clearly today as in Mamdani’s New York City, the second largest Jewish city in the world.

Peloni:  The only successful outcome in this war will come from the fall of the Iranian regime.  This could come from an economic collapse or by military conquest, or a combination of the two.  So far, in recent rounds of attacks by the US, the focus has been upon military targets and infrastructure.  To this mix of targets, the regime authority centers such as the IRGC and Basij commands must be added, as well as the Iranian leadership as well.  Even in doing so, an ground force must be employed to support these aeirial targets.

Since Trump is acquiesing to Turkey on not using the Kurds, the only alternative would be to employ any defecting faction within the non-IRGC Iranian army in support of a popular uprising.  For more than a single reason, I don’t have much hope in the army defecting, but it is possible.  I believe it would be a better choice to use the Kurds, and I think that Iran believes this is true as well, which is why they have been attacking the Kurds non-stop since February 28, even as the “ceasefire” and “negotiations” were being negotiated.

We can defeat enemies who are not afraid to die. But we have to be willing to kill them.

by Daniel Greenfield | Aug 4, 2026

Treating Iran like a state has been a policy failure. Both diplomatic and military efforts to either engage or pressure Iran have all rested on the assumption that its terrorist regime is a state with national interests and that it could be tempted with membership in the international community or pressured to comply through economic sanctions or selective strikes on key targets.

The mainstream media and social media giants are imposing a totalitarian censorship to prevent public health advocates, like myself, from voicing concerns and from engaging in civil informed debate in the public square. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.

Peloni:  MBS had an important opportunity to form a coalition against the Houthis with UAE several months ago, and instead they chose to literally bomb the UAE out of Yemen.  It was a significant self owned error for which Riyahd is now facing a war with the Houthis with limited choices.  As Christine Douglass-Williams notes below, the Saudis have a history of being at war with the Houthis, and it is a humiliating tale of defeat followed by defeat.  It will be interesting to see if Riyadh is capable of changing that trend in the coming conflict.

The removal of US Patriot systems could leave Iraqi Kurdistan more vulnerable after nearly 1,000 missiles and drones targeted the region since February.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | AUGUST 2, 2026

The autonomous Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq has been attacked by around 1,000 missiles and drones since February, when the US and Israeli war on Iran began on February 28.

This has impacted the Kurdistan region greatly, leading to deaths and injuries of dozens of people and causing energy companies to suspend operations. Now the region faces a potential new challenge as US forces may be reducing their presence.

Peloni:  The focus on ending the fighting while announcing peace in our time solves nothing but a return to mowing the grass policies which led to October 7.  A real achievement would come from enacting Trump’s emigration policy and from Israel settlement and permanent control of Gaza.  This current plan is so far from achieving peace that it seems not to bother the Peace Processors in the slightest that the latest proposal which they are now considering to the already adopted UNSC Resolution 2803 is a complete abandonment and reversal of the substantive aspects of the plan enshrined in 2803.  While noting that Resolution 2803 had no chance of achieving the peace it was claimed to bring about, it is clear that the latest crop of Peace Processors are as anxious as the previous Peace Processors in simply wanting something on which to stake a claim of victory, while the actual terms of the agreement are significantly less relevant.
