The Farhoud Pogrom remembered – June 1-2, 1941  

Peloni:  I am struck by the glaring hypocrisy surrounding the claim that the Pals of Gaza can not be forced from their homes based upon the principles surrounding the foundation of the United Nations after WWII, all the while ignoring the massive suffering and economic theft which took placed all across Arabia during the time of the founding of that same United Nations.  The simple reality is that the Pals are trapped in their current environment specifically because of the threat which they pose to the Jewish State.  Indeed, this was why the UN created UNRWA, simply so that they could weaponize the Pals as a tool of manipulation and destruction against Israel.

Ron Jager | June 4, 2024

A vast Jewish Diaspora underwent a process of communal annihilation prior to Israel’s establishment and continued during Israel’s formative years, yet we Israelis rarely talk about or commemorate these historic events. On the eve of the establishment of the State of Israel, at least 800,000 Jews lived in Arab countries. Today, those ancient Jewish Diaspora numbers only a few thousand at best. These numbers alone should give us pause: Emigration of more than 99 percent of the Jewish population in such a short time is unparalleled in modern Jewish history. Even the Jewish communities of Europe, which experienced the most extreme suffering of anti-Semitic violence, did not vanish entirely, or so abruptly. The story of the Jews from Arab lands is a saga that extends over hundreds of years and over a vast geographic region.

Peter Navarro reports on government waste and abuse from within a federal prison  

By Andrea Widburg

Image by freepik.

The Daily Caller was able to interview Peter Navarro, one of the first people in the Trump circle that the Democrats were able to imprison. Navarro is in prison because, like Steve Bannon (also going to prison), Hunter Biden (not going to prison), and Merrick Garland (not going to prison), he refused to abide by a congressional subpoena. However, the feds may rue the day they thought it was a good idea to lock him up because Navarro has now seen and is working to expose the government’s cruel and expensive prison mismanagement.

I urge you to read the whole interview (it’s not too long) because Navarro describes

Finally, a Curbing of Jacobson  

Peloni:  Jeffrey Tucker and Leslie Manookian discuss the basis for and consequences related to the recent ruling which held that mandated enforcement as interpreted by the 1906 Jacobson ruling can not be applied to the so-called Covid shots precisely because they  are not sterilizing and therefore not protective.  They also discuss, among many other topics, the fact that this is the first time that a strict basis of interpretation was applied to the Jacobson ruling rather than the far less stringent rational basis.

The Health Freedom Defense Fund has once again come to the aid of rights and won a hugely important case in Los Angeles and for the entire country. A court decision has declared that prior Supreme Court rulings for vaccine mandates are inapplicable to the Covid shot for simple reasons: it is not truly sterilizing and therefore not protective of public health. It is first court decision to narrow Jacobson on record, and the implications for health freedom are profound. Leslie Manookian explains the case, the decision, and the implications. She is interviewed by Jeffrey Tucker.

The Potential Upside of Gantz’s Exit from the War Cabinet  

Peloni:  The move by the US to have Gantz, their man in Jerusalem, resign from the govt is specifically intended to drive a renewed effort foment constant protests in the streets against the Bibi govt.  To be certain, the support for such a public revolt is clearly lacking, but the reality is that Washington in intent on removing the greatest obstacle at this moment to their plans for Iranian domination in the region…and that obstacle remains to be Bibi Netanyahu.

Hamas Demands US Guarantee In Writing a Permanent Ceasefire and a Total Israeli Withdrawal from Gaza  

Hugh Fitzgerald | June 15, 2024

Hamas is on the ropes. At least 15,000 of its operatives have been killed by the IDF. After being pummeled in the north and in the center of Gaza, it is now under assault by the IDF in Rafah, in the southernmost part of the Strip. The IDF fighters have fought their way into the center of Rafah, determined to dismantle the last four intact battalions of the terror group. The IDF will not stop until that has been accomplished, and until the rest of the hostages, the ones whom Hamas has not yet murdered, are brought home.

The charge of Israeli cynicism is false  

Israel was sick and tired of having thousands of missiles launched at it by Hamas, by its suicide bombers attacking them in restaurants and schools, from being picked off in twos and threes by these terrorist group members as they shot at Jews hither and thither.

By Walter E. Block   April  18/24

The charge of extreme Israeli cynicism is forcefully made by world-class economist and historian Tom DiLorenzo, president of the Mises Institute, a think tank devoted to Austrian economics and libertarianism:

“Today we are supposed to believe that Israel’s vaunted Mossad, assisted by the CIA and the massive American ‘intelligence community,’ the Pentagon, and the entire might of the US military-industrial complex, was totally surprised by Palestinians on motor bikes and on foot who easily and conveniently broke through the ‘impregnable’ barriers into Israel. According to news reports, it was as easy as with the January 6, 2021 protesters who, after being invited in by the police, entered the US Capitol building. The motor bike riding Palestinians did some barbaric and reprehensible things, randomly shooting and killing hundreds of innocent Israeli citizens (although there is now evidence that many of the Israeli victims were victims of “friendly fire” by their own military). As the entire world now knows, the government of Israel, like Lincoln, used this event as a reason to wage total war on all Palestinians in Gaza, women and children included.”

Irrationally anti-Israel  

How is a rational person to deal with someone under the influence of Israel Derangement Syndrome? One possibility: Don’t waste your time with such a person.

By  Alan G. Futerman and Walter E. Block

There is a new virus that has been spreading all over the world. It is called Israel Derangement Syndrome. It is especially virulent at prestigious university campuses, newsrooms and left-wing political parties the world over. It consists of simply being unable to see any merit in the Israeli side in its present battle with Hamas, and also, to see any fault with the latter group of terrorists. As early as October 8, 2023, one day after one of the worst, most vicious attacks on civilians in all of history, those afflicted with IDS were blaming the victims.

How The Hostages Were Mistreated: The Latest Testimonies  

Hugh Fitzgerald | June 14, 2024

We know that the number of Israeli hostages who are still alive in Hamas’ captivity keeps declining, for they are steadily being murdered, one by one, by their Hamas captives. Israel now believes that of the 136 Israelis who remained as captives after the hostage-for-prisoner swap in November, and the rescue of three hostages before this latest raid, no more than 80 are still alive. Hamas, of course, continues to claim that any captives who are now dead were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes, as a way to avoid blame and to make the Israeli pilots become ever more cautious in their attacks on Hamas targets.

Is Israeli-Saudi normalization end or means?  

Peloni:  Abdul-Hussain is quite correct that SA should have made a direct, unconditional alliance with Israel, that is presuming that they are earnestly interested in assuming a public face of their already known posture regarding Israel. There should be no prize-price awarded to SA for acceding to peace with Israel, and there should be no consideration of gifting the American administration the award of a Pal state, which would be more than an existential threat.  Indeed, the Americans have no interest in peace, but rather they are trying to remold the old Oslo two-step, where Arabs are awarded prizes and the Israelis are required to make concessions.   Such devious duplicity has no path to success in the current political environment.  So while Riyadh has its sights set on a nuclear reactor, and the US has its sights set on a Pal state, the Saudis should act bilaterally with Israel and the Americans should be left out in the cold.

Biden is delaying Saudi normalization with Israel until the region is fixed, mistakenly making peace the end game

Hussain Abdul-Hussain | FDD | June 14, 2024

The path to a peace treaty between Israel and Saudi Arabia is fraught with prerequisites unrelated to Israel or peace.

USA imposes sanctions on anti-aid protest organization  

Peloni:  It is with the greatest disgust that America has taken on the role of subsidizing terrorist while sanctioning those who oppose them doing so.  This being stated, this should surprise no one as the current regime continues its realignment with Iran.

The US State Department imposed sanctions today on the Tzav 9 protest organization, whose activists have been blocking aid trucks from Jordan to the Gaza Strip.

The US imposed sanctions on the Tzav 9 protest organization, whose activists blocked and attacked the humanitarian aid trucks on their way to the residents of the Gaza Strip.

Tzav 9 has been operating for many months at the Kerem Shalom crossing and other points across the country in order to prevent the trucks from reaching their destination.

Jeffery Sachs critiques US policy in Ukraine and in Israel  

Throughout their whole discussion neither referenced Oct 7th nor questioned whether a TSS would bring peace. The latter was a given.

By Ted Belman

The first 23 minutes of this interview was spent on Sach’s criticism of US policy regarding the Ukraine War and then the Judge segued to Israel and Gaza enabling Sach’s to continue his criticism of the Biden team and its policies.

I was familiar with his stand on Ukraine because it mirrored mine.  I had watched a number of his videos on the subject and was familiar with his criticism.

In this video he shows his disgust with US policy because “there  was no active diplomacy”.  In its place, the US was “acting recklessly and dangerously”.  “They lie on everything” he said.

There are no civilians in Gaza  

In a culture where terrorists in the field don’t wear uniforms, where large families have sizable stocks of weapons, and where children are taught to kill and die, the externals don’t matter.

Daniel Greenfield | June 14, 2024

Americans expected Osama bin Laden to be found in a cave in Afghanistan. In reality, he was living comfortably in a military town in Pakistan under the protection of local authorities. Similarly, Israeli hostages, including the four who were rescued last Saturday, have come home telling stories of being kept captive in “civilian” households.

Many in the West fundamentally misunderstand what Islamic terrorism is. It’s not a “fringe group of extremists,” as politicians and the media describe it, but an ethnic and religious movement. The religious values of Islamic terrorists are universally shared by the vast majority of Muslims, while the ethnic ones ground Islamic warfare in the interests of specific clans and families.

House Republicans Furious with Way Speaker Johnson Distributes Tenured Perks  

E. Rowell:  Sunlight is the best disinfectant.  It’s important for everyone to know the reality of the Republican Conference, that most of them have no incentive to care about Americans and are incentivized to care very much about pleasing their billionaire donors.  They are “team players” and feel very entitled to get all the goodies (more money more power) for being team players.  They are thus now shocked and angered about suddenly finding themselves on the losing end of the political game they’ve been successfully playing.  Perhaps also they are just beginning to realize Americans know they’ve been traitors.

By Sundance, CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE BLOG    14 June 2024

When I said in 2020 that House Republican representatives were generally focused on who gets the larger pieces of the cake during the office birthday party, many people just couldn’t fathom it.

With all the crisis, corruption, manipulation of government institutions, DOJ/FBI targeting and jaw-dropping weaponization that was stunningly evident, a large number of readers could not bring themselves to realize almost all House Republicans just didn’t care.  Fortunately, a lot more awakening has happened in the past four years, and I think people are now more willing to accept the reality of just how bad it is in Republican ranks.

Biden Regime Offers $400,000,000 More to Jihad Terrorists in Israel  

E. Rowell:  The masks have come off.  The Israel haters are openly paying terrorists to destroy innocent civilians in Israel.  There should be a special place in hell reserved for those who use all their power to destroy human beings.

The only thing protecting Hamas is the Biden administration.

By Daniel Greenfield, JIHAD WATCH    13 June 2024

In a poll from last year, the Muslim occupiers in West Bank and Gaza gave Hamas a 76% rating. Islamic Jihad was at 84%. The UN was at only 9%. And America was at 0%.

Maybe the latest $400 million check will turn things around.

Trump 45 WIN – 5D CHESS for the WIN  

E. Rowell:  I once thought medicine was based upon the best scientific evidence.  I thought the scientific method was the basis for every scientific study and experiment.  I thought scientific data could help us discern fact from fiction.  Then doctors were made to carry out death protocols on patients who would not have been dying had their doctors been allowed to treat them early using their best decision making.  That made doctors and hospitals co-conspirators in the greatest crime ever committed on earth.  Major science publishing companies are deleting thousands of studies that they have found were fake.  It feels like I used to see reality, but now the world is upside down.  I feel like those of us who are awakened remember when the world was right side up, but those accepting propaganda do not see any problems and think Joe Biden is the best option for president.  Those of us who are awake to the facts are potentially threatened with being seen as domestic terrorists just for disagreeing with government policy.  I used to treat psychotic patients and try to see the world the way they did.  Now I feel I am living in a world that is semi-psychotic and I’m trying to relate to people who don’t even realize how insane our government manufactured reality is.  That is why I posted this article.

Odd Dynamic – G7 Leadership Meet in Italy as Nations They Represent Rebuke Their Leadership  

E. Rowell:  All take orders from people more powerful.  I echo the sentiments of many commenters at the blog who say these are quite a collection of losers.  Many of them are WEF Young Global Leaders.  Remember how Klaus Schwab boasted about having many of his graduates in all the governments of the world?

By Sundance, CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE BLOG    14 June 2024

It is a very strange dynamic to watch the G7 leaders assemble in Italy this year, against a political backdrop there they have essentially been rebuked by the citizens of the nations they are supposed to represent.  It’s a very odd dynamic indeed.

‘We really are living in an era of moral inversion’  

By Hugh Fitzgerald, JIHAD WATCH    13 June 2024

Brendan O’Neill, who started his political life as a convinced Communist but has traveled very far since then, is one of the few British journalists who is clear-eyed about Hamas, which he detests, and about Israel, which he admires. He’s been horrified at the way, during this Gaza War, so many people are giving the terror group a pass. He’s not having any of it. More on his response can be found here: “The racism of never blaming Hamas for anything,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, June 10, 2024:

Making the War About the Hostages Was a Mistake  

“No one has an idea” of how many hostages in Gaza are alive, a Hamas official said.

Daniel Greenfield | Front Page | June 14, 2024

While Israel has an extensive list of hostages, Hamas has never made such a list or provided one. It occasionally released selected hostage videos or claimed that one or another hostage was deceased. Truthfully or not. The actual list of hostages, most people have concluded, is a lot smaller.

Every terrible ceasefire proposal on Israel’s side still requires Hamas to produce a list o hostages. And Hamas generally replies by offering to trade terrorists for hostages or their bodies.

How Did a Small Group Do This?  

Peloni:  Tucker explains the latest study considering the impact of coercive tactics in support of govt imposed policies and their effect on Covid.  Tucker succinctly sums up the results of this study as follows:

“There was only cost, no benefit. Everywhere in the world. “

Given the abandonment of scientific and medical first principles, not the least of which included the precautionary principle and informed consent, this outcome should be little surprise to any, even while it will likely be a great surprise to many.  Dr. McCullough has stated frequently that something got into the minds of doctors, but the truth is that govt got into the practice of medicine, and forced edicts prescribed as universal treatments could hardly be expected to result in good medicine, and in fact led to a great tragedy as truly safe and effective treatments were restricted from being prescribed.  Of course, the consequences of many of these tragedies are still ongoing, as many have been left seriously affected for life and are still being abandoned to their fate with nearly no hope of govt support of their govt imposed medical conditions.  Hopefully someday soon, the govt will act to seek out those who were harmed by the Covid associated fraud, and support the needs of these victims as they are truly in need of significant care.  In fact, the support and care of these people should be recognized to be the least of what is owed to those who are still suffering from the consequences of the illiberal and unscientific govt imposed medical conditions.

By Jeffrey A. Tucker | June 6, 2024

A very interesting study appeared last week by two researchers looking into the pandemic policy response around the world. They are Drs. Eran Bendavid and Chirag Patel of Stanford and Harvard, respectively. Their ambition was straightforward. They wanted to examine the effects of government policy on the virus.

In this ambition, after all, researchers have access to an unprecedented amount of information. We have global data on strategies and stringencies. We have global data on infections and mortality. We can look at it all according to the timeline. We have precise dating of stay-at-home orders, business closures, meeting bans, masking, and every other physical intervention you can imagine.
