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:

“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.

Peloni:  Join Gadi Taub & Mike Doran as they discuss the recent hostage rescue, Gantz’ belated parting from the govt, the possible implications of a UNSC resolution calling for a ceasefire, and a significant uptick in activity in the north.

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.

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.

The Biden administration is furious with Finance Minister Smotrich’s decision to freeze tax revenues collected for the Palestinian Authority.

E. Rowell:  Trump’s remarks may have been more aspirational than realistic.  However, there isn’t much he could do in the situation but focus on the positive and speak in a generous and gracious way towards the Republican conference.  In reality there are only about 8 or so Republicans who are truly interested in representing their constituents and pursuing MAGA goals.  The Republican lineup seems mostly populated by people who are willing to give up power to the democrats for personal monetary gain, as Sundance has repeatedly pointed out.  I am sure Trump knows this. Time will tell how supportive of Trump’s policies the GOP intends to be.

A very interesting day is described by everyone in Washington DC, as President Trump strategically attends both House and Senate Republican conferences.   Magnanimous Trump arrived to heal wounds, appeal for unity and build a larger support network ahead of the Republican National Convention.

It would appear the Dr. Phil approach was attempted as promised.  According to media reports, in the upper chamber President Trump even spoke warmly with Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and the 16 Wall Street DeceptiCons who are insistent upon his permanent removal from politics.

• Netanyahu’s resolve in the face of so many challenges, from splits in his own war cabinet over the conduct of the war in Gaza to incessant pressure from Washington to agree to a ceasefire, has prompted comparisons with British wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill, with Andrew Roberts labelling the Israeli PM “The Winston Churchill of the Middle East.”

E. Rowell:  There are some who consider Trump just as much a globalist puppet as Biden.  Sundance and millions of Americans think there is no better alternative and that Trump’s history as President is one of many successes.  I might differ from Sundance in how Trump might solve the problem of Gaza, but Sundance probably hasn’t heard of the Jordan Option, which offers the most durable and comprehensive solution to the conflict between the Palestinian people and Israel ever proposed.

When President Obama famously told incoming President Trump the largest foreign policy concern was the potential for near-term military conflict with North Korea, Trump curiously asked Obama, “well, have you talked to Kim Jong-un?”

President Trump has never revealed how Obama responded to that question; however, given the nature of the circumstances, what we know about DC and the background involved, we can assume the Obama reply was akin to the lightbringer telling Trump, ‘Things just are not done that way.’

Peloni:  While I don’t agree with Sundance’s ambivalence about who Trump’s running mate might be, I do agree with his preference of Ben Carson for the role.  In any event, Rubio must be avoided as a choice for running mate, if for no other reason than the support which he gave to the Russia Hoax, but there are more reasons than even this.

Treeper Question:

ICTHEMATRIX – […] “Related to the topic of discerning alignment via a question, I would like to sincerely ask you your thoughts on a very real possibility:

What are we to make of President Trump’s possible choice of Marco Rubio as his VP?

In many columns and pages, you have chronicled the multiple failure points of Senator Rubio…his service within the corrupted Intelligence committee, and his non-MAGA compromises. I fear this could become another massive moment of fatally poor judgement.”

Peloni:  This was a fascinating conversation in which Peterson presses Spencer for detailed answers to specific questions.  It covers the topics of the ideology of Hamas, how that ideology can be defeated, the capture of American universities, the desire to see mass casualties as a path to ultimate victory, how to determine when victory might be achieved, the war against the Gazan civilians by the Western world, the role which the UN plays in Hamas, the sustainability of the Abraham Accords, and much more.  Highly recommended.

If you had to choose one word to characterize the normal operation of society, would it be cooperation or conflict? That choice turns out to be crucial for history and the future. Some ideologies imagine the whole of the social order is and always has been about seething and intractable conflict.

Others see such conflicts as constructed and unnecessary, a result of toxic systems and ideologies.

Wall Street Journal reveals correspondence between Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas terrorists, showing that Sinwar does not mind civilian casualties, believe they ‘work to his advantage.’

Yahya SinwarAttia Muhammed/Flash90

The Wall Street Journal on Monday night revealed damning correspondence between Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and his closest associates in the terror organization.

Sinwar has for months refused to agree to a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal that does not include a complete end to the war and a withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza – two conditions which would leave Hamas in power and able to regroup, and which would allow the terror group to fulfill its promise of carrying out repeat “October 7th” massacres in the future.

This is Dr. Wolf’s statement to the Royal Courts of Justice, London, United Kingdom, on June 11, 2024.

DR NAOMI WOLF, DAILY CLOUTJUN 12, 2024

Dear Mrs Justice Farbey

I am here today because OfCom, the media watchdog agency, concluded that my presentation of information from scientific reports about the Pfizer injection, on Mark Steyn’s TV show in October 2022, caused “harm.” Ofcom also referred to me in public documents as a “conspiracy theorist,” using that discrediting characterization of my work, as part of its decision to penalize Steyn for airing the show in which I brought forth the evidence I did.

I wish to describe to the court please the nature of the evidence I presented on GBNews. I then wish to describe my credentials, and lastly, I wish to make some points about the history of censorship.

 There are over twenty Arab states throughout the Middle East and North Africa, but the world demands, in a chorus of barely disguised animosity towards Israel, that yet another Arab state be created within the mere forty miles separating the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan.

Israel, a territory no larger than the tiny principality of Wales or the state of New Jersey, would be forced to share this sliver of land with a new and hostile Arab entity to be called Palestine, while seeing its present narrow waist reduced to a mere and suicidal nine miles in width — what an earlier Israeli statesman, Abba Eban, described as the Auschwitz borders.

Remember, there has never existed in all of recorded history an independent sovereign nation called Palestine — and certainly not an Arab one.  The term “Palestine” has always been the name of a geographical territory, such as Siberia or Patagonia.  It has never been a state. Read more…

E. Rowell;  This increase in and normalization of Jew hatred has all been planned well in advance.  It is the globalist plan for first ridding the world of Jews and their belief in freedom, and then their planned totalitarian enslavement of the rest of mankind.  Meanwhile, the eugenics pharmacological plan is also proceeding effectively.

• What is striking about the survey is that, for every question, anti-Semitic prejudice is much higher in Brussels than at national level. It happens that the population of the capital of Belgium and the EU is between 30% and 40% Muslim.
• In the country as a whole, 43% of Muslims think that Belgian Jews are not really Belgians like the other inhabitants of Belgium.

E. Rowell:  The PA has a police force, essentially an army, of 60,000?   And the US has been arming them?  Is there any effort to kill innocent Israelis the Americans in command haven’t tried?

Nobody in the State Department or the United Nations or at J Street headquarters, is talking about the recent terrorist shooting attack on the Israeli town of Beit Hefer, less than 12 miles from the coastal town of Netanya. This is because it shattered the premise at the heart of all their proposals concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Hamas terrorists standing within the municipal boundaries of Tulkarm, a Palestinian Authority-governed city, unleashed a barrage of gunfire aimed at the nearby Israeli town of Bat Hefer. Then they posted a video of the shooting on social media.

It was the third such shooting attack on Bat Hefer in two weeks. The Times of Israel pointed out that there have been similar attacks targeting Kibbutz Meirav, which is next to the PA city of Jenin. Once again, terrorists within the boundaries of the city were able to shoot into an Israeli community without ever having to go beyond the borders of their PA-ruled city.

Eight illegal aliens previously released into the U.S. homeland by border officials, were arrested by ICE after the FBI intercepted their communication related to bomb plots and asked DHS to detain them.

Think about this….  DHS released ISIS terrorists into the USA, the terrorists planned terrorism, the FBI intercepted the plans, then asked DHS to pick them up.
