Israel has been putting up with repeated threats and active support of Arab Hamas butchers of its people originating from Turkey for decades.
Among other far more serious and deadly manifestations of this, ridiculous flotillas allegedly carrying aid to Gaza, which were nothing more than publicity stunts, were launched from or sponsored by Turkey as well.
Peloni: This is the war which underlines setbacks on all of the other war fronts facing Israel today, and yet it still lacks a clear strategy. This will be the greatest challenge facing the next govt, as it was so for the last govt which failed to address it.

TEXT:
Peloni: The conditional and delayed aspects of this declaration holds a very pregnant pause on yet one more very large and yet to be realized threat against Iran, but the threat to friend and foes of the US is now the greater prize in this current line being drawn in the sand by the US. In fact, US allies such as Qatar among other would find themselves in the crosshairs of this Economic D-Day if it or when it were ever to materialize, in addition to such peer competitors as China. So is this latest threat, as large and encompassing as it stands as stated, be understood to be more compelling to Iran than Trump’s multiple, and numerous, threats to rain down hell on them which came to very little when ignored by Iran over the last several months? Notably, the Iranians appear to be taking this current threat from the US with more concern than previous warnings, but that is because the threat is not just focused on Iran alone.
The real question which remains to be seen is whether Trump truly enforce the policy of “With Us or Against US” which has at its core a much larger paradigm than just dealing Iran a devastating blow.

AFSI says the new partnership will promote free videos and curriculum resources designed to counter misinformation about Zionism and Israel ahead of the new school year.
Americans For a Safe Israel has announced a new partnership with ZionismU aimed at expanding access to educational material about Zionism and countering what the organization describes as growing misinformation and hostility toward the Zionist movement since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
Peloni: The AstroTurf campaign supporting Jihadists in the West is as misled as the Western obsession with creating a Jihadist second Palestinian state out of the heartlands of Israel. While the memes of chickens protesting on behalf of the fox in the henhouse seems innocent enough, the policies which might follow such untethered political campaigns as Gays for Gaza, if successful, could only secure misery, hardships and horror as their end goals. It is a sad indictment of the failure of the West to secure their education and agencies against the willing intrigues being bought by foreign and enemy forces, and if continued to be left unchecked, these forces will oversee the fall of the West as well as its subjugation to Communist/Islamist forces.

Philadelphia was the site last weekend of a “Naked Bike Ride,” in which “protesters” rode their bicycles through the city stark naked.
What were they protesting? According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the participants painted their bodies with slogans about “immigrants, calling for a freed Palestine, and demanding enhanced bicycle safety measures.”

Peloni: The question remains as to whether this 11th hour stay on the injunction interfering with the coming election will ultimately see Trump’s Executive Order overseeing mail in voting come into effect in the next 3 months.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday temporarily allowed the Trump administration to maintain an order placing restrictions on mail-in voting.
An unnamed senior US government official has pressured the families of victims of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror invasion to drop a lawsuit against a prominent Palestinian-American businessman who is accused of allowing the terror group to use his properties, according to a court filing last month.
The businessman, Bashar Masri, denies all allegations of wrongdoing.
Peloni: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called on Israel to withdraw a tender for 1,234 homes in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, saying the project threatens the prospects of a two-state solution by dividing the West Bank and isolating East Jerusalem. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway and other governments have also criticized the plans. Israeli officials rejected the pressure. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar defended Jewish residency throughout the Land of Israel, while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel would not accept foreign dictates and described E1 construction as a means of preventing a Palestinian state. The United States did not directly oppose the tender but reiterated its opposition to Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria. The tender is also facing an internal Israeli legal challenge from Peace Now, Ir Amim, Bimkom and Palestinian Bedouin residents, with the state ordered to respond by September 1. While the US is not blocking the E1 project moving forward, the hurdle of the High Court still looms in the distance. This remains the most concerning aspect of this pivotal project being realized.

Presumably, Ben Gurion demanded Begin surrender the ship due to his fears of the Irgun

Israel was right to reject the latest 15-point plan. Not negotiate it away. Not soften it. Reject it. Israel has every right to decide what terms it will accept when its security and survival are at stake.
It is also about America’s credibility, President Donald Trump’s legacy and whether the United States still has the power to make agreements that mean something. Trump has made extraordinary and courageous decisions and we know this historic visionary president will continue to do so.

Peloni: It is hard to contemplate that the IRGC will implode on its own due to economics alone. There needs to be simultaneous targeted strikes on the IRGC and Basij, their infrastructure and their personnel. Of course, perhaps the Iranians, themselves, will provoke such a response.

Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent. Screeenshot via Youtube.
In an op-ed in the Financial Times, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent describes Washington’s current Iran strategy as an “economic D-Day,” detailing a direct comparison to the 1943 Tehran Conference during WWII when Allied leaders planned the Normandy invasion so as to maximize pressure on Nazi Germany. While noting that military action thus far taken has significantly degraded Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, Bessent characterizes what he describes as this final phase of the war as a comprehensive financial offensive specifically designed to completely isolate the regime.
