Undeterred by the threats coming from Hezbollah and the Iranians, that they intend to exact a terrible revenge on Israel for the killings of Hezbollah’s second-in-command, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut, and of Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, at a guesthouse in Tehran, Israel is continuing its campaign to kill Hamas leaders – cutting off the head(s) of the snake — and the IDF has just demonstrated, yet again, its remarkable ability to locate and take out key terrorists even as far away as the French Riviera, northern Lebanon, eastern Syria, Yemen, Iran, and Dubai. How they manage to identity so precisely in what room their targets will be sleeping, or being driven on what road in what car, only the Mossad knows.

As we are learning in this information-saturated age, the most powerful weapon isn’t the bullet, it’s the word. Now that word is out that Israel is no longer the victim of a provable genocide but, instead, the perpetrator of an imaginary genocide, antisemitic actors around the world, including in the Harris-Biden administration, feel justified in withholding weapons from Israel, threatening its conduct of this war, and demanding that she surrender even though it is winning. Seven former US Department of Justice Prosecutors who earned their stripes prosecuting Nazi War criminals—including our own Clarice Feldman—have struck back with a powerful op-ed.

Peloni: Fascinating analysis by Bryen.  The Nazi and the Ukrainian motivation behind launching these two battles are quite distinct even as they were both associated with significant risks.

Stephen Bryen | Weapons & Strategy | August 11, 2024

American engineers emerge from the woods and move out of defensive positions after fighting in the vicinity of Bastogne, Belgium

Some Weapons and Strategy readers say that there is a strong resemblance between the current Kursk battle and the Battle of Bulge that raged in December, 1944 to January, 1945.  It is a topic worth exploring.

The Battle of the Bulge was an attempt by the Nazi forces to break the Allied advance into Germany.  Hitler was facing two main allied forces, namely the British and Canadians in the north and the Americans in the south.  The Nazi war plan was to split the Allied armies and drive westward, hoping to capture Antwerp.  Antwerp port was the main supply line for the Allied armies.  Had the gamble been successful, the Allies would have been in a serious predicament and probably would have been open to making a deal with Hitler.

t the Democratic Party has stooped to calling J.D. Vance and other Republicans “weird” is a milestone in the descent of Jefferson’s party toward rock bottom. It is nothing but name-calling worthy of children, and they do this because they have nothing of substance and intelligence to challenge the Republicans’ policies, led by Donald Trump.

However, for sheer weirdness, nothing beats the Israelis, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had a sense of this. Following the satanic horrors of October 7, he said, “Any other people would have flattened the Strip.”

Four recent reports call for major new investments in US defense spending, completion of the current nuclear deterrent modernization effort, and also recommend, given the projected rise of military power by America’s enemies, that the US add serious new nuclear capabilities to its deterrence.

Peloni:  Election Fraud is the ultimate loss of liberty, as it eliminates the power of the people, and changes the government of the governed into the government of whomever is Selected to rule the governed.  This is how tyranny is established in a free society.  Once you come to appreciate that this is the new reality in which we live, much of the aberrant and inexplicable frightening happenings  which have taken place over the past decade begins to be far less inexplicable, even as they remain entirely aberrant and evermore frightening to contemplate.

Peloni:  The war on religious freedom which has been ongoing in Minnesota under the unkind leadership of Walz is important to understand.  The rampant disregard for such basic liberties was perhaps perceived to be an asset in the eyes of the radical Left which now controls the Dems.

MG Paul E Vallely | August 8, 2024

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of infringing on religious liberty during his six years as Minnesota governor.

Walz encountered legal challenges for COVID-19 lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. After signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program offering high school students free college credits, he also encountered pushback.

Peloni:  The contrast between the truth and the fiction being past as truth is important to reflect upon, but so too is it essential to understand that Israel’s enemies are less deterred from the deliberate slaughter of Jews when threatened with such morality as is being celebrated in Israel’s pulled punches.  Unlike the tens of thousands of Israelis who have fled the possible repeat of the October 7 Massacre, Israel’s enemies await to be informed where they should go to avoid dealing with Israel’s wrath.

By Hugh Fitzgerald | August 10, 2024

We have already heard this conclusion — that the IDF is “the most moral army in history” — from both Colonel Richard Kemp, who commanded British forces in Afghanistan, and from West Point Professor of Urban Warfare John Spencer. Now the High Level Military Group, which is made up of retired chiefs of staff, senior generals, and cabinet ministers from NATO countries, have issued their own report on how the IDF has been conducting its war in Gaza, and they too, have concluded that the IDF is “the most moral army in history.” The description of their study, and their conclusions, can be found here: “Israel’s army is not only moral. It is the most moral army in history.” Elder of Ziyon, August 9, 2024:

T. Belman. Watch this very important program. Mark starts out by giving a dissertaion on tolitarianism’s use of propaganda which he said is denying the truth and promoting lies. He points out how the main stream media employs it to gaslight the masses. He goes on to show all the ways the Biden administration is supporting Israel’s enemies with billions of dollars and undermining Israel by handcuffing her and falsely accusing her.

He then interviews General Keane, who is totalling on Israel’s side. Keane explains how the administration is encouraging Israel’s enemies by her constant criticism of her actions. Tom Cotton is also interviewed and he too is a loyal friend of Israel. He tears into the real Pamela Harris. Not to be missed.

Dr. Norman Berdichevsky

On December 22, 1942, just a year from the attack on Pearl Harbour, an ad was placed in The New York Times expressing the devotion and patriotism of loyal German-Americans to the United States, and their determined opposition to Nazi tyranny and the cold blooded extermination of the Jews of Europe and the barbarities committed against other peoples that was corrupting the soul of the German people expressed by the words “We utterly repudiate” every thought and deed of the Nazis. The authors not only proclaimed where they stood, they asked to know where the readers of the declaration stood. The declaration was signed by 48 prominent German-Americans including Babe Ruth. The ad also bore a portrait of Jesus with a crown of thorns.

Could any declaration have been clearer? Nothing was left in doubt. Yet, since September 11, 2001 no such statement or hint of total repudiation of the extremist Jihadist philosophy of radical Islam has been forthcoming by any recognized Islamic body, community or acknowledged leader in the United States. Many Muslim “leaders” continue to sidestep the issue, pretending it does not exist, claiming Jihad refers to an internal struggle of conscience.
