With demands that Israel leave Gaza’s Philadelphi Corridor and limit its operations in the West Bank, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on the Jewish State “to comply with its relevant obligations,” adding that “only an end to the occupation… will bring an end to the violence.”

U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was executed by Hamas in late August after being taken hostage from an Israeli music festival and held in Gaza for more than 300 days. In response, a bipartisan roster of U.S. officials immediately pledged to hold Hamas accountable. On August 31, 2024, President Joe Biden issued a statement saying, “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes,” while Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement saying, “The threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel—and American citizens in Israel—must be eliminated and Hamas cannot control Gaza.” On September 1, 2024, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin vowed that “Hamas will be held accountable.”

Washington policymakers should make good on these promises in the following ways:

Until now, we have believed that on October 7, 3,000 members of Hamas, accompanied by a few hundred ordinary Gazans eager to join in the murderous fun, smashed into Israel and proceeded to rape, torture, mutilate, and murder 1,200 Israelis and to kidnap 251 more, who were dragged back to Gaza on the back of lorries, in cars, and on motorbikes. Now the IDF has revised that figure upward, suggesting that the total number of Gazans who took part was 6,000, double what was previously believed. Of those, not 3,000, but 3,800 were Hamas members, and not a “few hundred,” but rather, 2,200 Gazans who were not members of Hamas enthusiastically joined in the rapes, tortures, and murders of Israelis that were committed that day. 1,000 others were involved in firing rockets from Gaza into Israel. More on this revision upward can be found here: “Report: New IDF assessment shows some 6,000 Gazans invaded Israel on Oct. 7,” Times of Israel, August 31, 2024:

People are realizing that the pre Oct. 6th protest movement was not really about judicial reform and the protest movement today is not really about saving the hostages.

We are navigating through a profound moment of pain and change, but despite the immense sadness and the attempts by some to sow division among us, the reality today is markedly different and more promising than in the days just before and after October 7th.

The tragic events of October 7th did indeed shatter us, but they also awakened many to a crucial understanding that too many Jews and Israelis have ignored for decades, that we are up against a genocidal enemy called the “palestinian national identity”.

Peloni:  Great article.  What should be noted is that as the Left are acting out their fits of lunacy, they are easily observed to be doing so with an obvious and disturbing objective.  While the hostage families are speaking to their grief and anxiously focused on the fate of their abducted loved ones, the Leftist goon squads sewing seeds of chaos in the streets are speaking to their political bias while focusing upon trying to simply regime change Israel using the hostages as their segue towards doing so.  The damage being done by the Left thru the use of these tactics are highly damaging to Israel, while Bibi’s command and exercise of statesmanship has been a great asset to the nation.  No doubt the consequence of each of these perceptions will be felt when the next election comes around, which of course will likely be at the end of the current govt’s term.

The political parties heading the opposition, the progressive mainstream media, and the judicial system, have all lined up behind forces of insanity and blindly supported attempts to tear the country apart.

Any psychiatric examination must answer basic questions concerning a patient’s mental capacity. Can the patient differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary, differentiate between right and wrong, differentiate between acceptable behavior and forbidden behavior, legal versus illegal, differentiate between good and bad?

Peloni:  Please watch the first half hour of this insightful discussion regarding the manipulation of the Left and the Americans to foment regime change in Israel, a topic which Mike explains is far too seldomly grasped by Israelis at large.

The stone seal that was just discovered doesn’t refer to any indigenous Palestinian holidays, nor does it bear any ancient Palestinian symbols—because none of those things exist.

Israeli archaeologists in Jerusalem found a 2,700-year-old stone seal last week near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It’s just a few inches in diameter, but it’s a big deal for Zionism—and another blow to the Palestinian Arab cause.

The discovery highlights the importance of the continuing work by archaeologists who have spent years sifting through tons of debris that have been dumped outside Jerusalem’s walls by the Islamic authorities who control the mosques on the Temple Mount.

In a groundbreaking move, the US Department of Justice has unsealed terrorism charges against top Hamas officials. How will this impact Hamas’ operations and international standing?

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | SEPTEMBER 4, 2024

The US charges against key senior figures in Hamas are a crucial step in bringing Hamas leaders to justice and revealing the terrorist group’s crimes. The US Department of Justice announced that it was “unsealing of terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion charges against six senior leaders of Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization,” on September 3.

This is essential because it marks a turning point in the public effort to bring Hamas to justice. While the US and other Western countries may have been working behind the scenes for almost eleven months since the October 7 attack, this unsealing of public charges will make it harder for Hamas to escape justice. Hamas has been playing since October 7. It had hoped that Qatar and Egypt might help it broker a deal. It had been using hostages to get this deal. However, it recently murdered six hostages, including an American citizen.

Peloni:  This is a very important article.  On reading of Gantz’ and Eisencot’ assurances that the Philadelphi Corridor is not an existential threat to Israel, it reminded me of Yossi Baum’s excellent telling of how the interests of the Left routinely align with that of Israel’s enemies, both after October 7, and long before that terrible event.  To be certain, the despicable assurances being spouted by the likes of Gantz and Eisencot should be added to this list.

Israel took to heart the wisdom of a passage in the Talmud.

by Hugh Fitzgerald | Sept 4, 2024

Hezbollah claims that its attack on Israel on the morning of August 25 was a “success.” Hezbollah released a statement insisting  that “by God’s grace, the first stage has been fully completed with complete success. This stage involved targeting Israeli barracks and sites to facilitate the passage of attack drones towards their intended destination deep within the entity [Israel]. The drones passed, praise be to God, as planned. The number of Katyusha rockets fired so far has exceeded 320 rockets directed at the enemy’s positions.”

T. Belman.  Sherman gives a post mortem on “the documented lack of judgment of many among the senior Israeli leadership” in the lead up to the Gaza Disengagement of 2005.

The same lack of judgement that gave us Oslo and Arafat, I might add.

It would appear that that same lack of judgement is leading us to yet another debacle, namely, the withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor, that they, with some notable exceptions, are advocating.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

HISTORY IS ABOUT TO REPEAT ITSELF.

The nation’s leaders have proved bereft of foresight – or hindsight for that matter. Can a dangerous ‘trust deficit’ be avoided?

The nightmare stories of the Likud are well known. After all, they promised Katyusha rockets from Gaza as well. For a year, Gaza has been largely under the rule of the Palestinian Authority. There has not been a single Katyusha rocket. Nor will there be any Katyushas. – Yitzhak Rabin, radio interview, July 24, 1995

I am firmly convinced and truly believe that this disengagement… will be appreciated by those near and far, reduce animosity, break through boycotts and sieges and advance us along the path of peace with the Palestinians and our other neighbors.

This could be Netanyahu’s great and historic hour. His entire life up to now, his entire career, all the mistakes he had to learn from, are now culminating in a peak.

If he withstands the pressure and does what is required of him, which he knows well, he will go down in history alongside Churchill, because not only Israel’s fate against Islam is now on the line but also the fate of the Western world that is struggling against the same enemy.

I have a long list of accusations against Netanyahu. He is not to blame for the surprise attack of October 7, but he is to blame for the situation we have reached that day, with only half of the army remaining, which was reduced during his term, and without ammunition for the remaining half. In short, scrolling back through my feed provides a long list of his failures and mistakes. Read more…
