Peloni:  Unfortunately, the Lebanese Shia community has acted Hezbollah’s greatest allies rather than victims over the years, and even today, as Trump acts to preempt the targeted assassinations in Shia strongholds in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon, he is in fact supporting the Shia communities perception that Hezbollah’s days are not yet likely numbered due to the protection being afforded to Hezbollah by the US.  So, whether the Shia recognize themselves to be victims or allies of Hezbollah, the effort to preserve this terror entity in Lebanon with only the laughable efforts of the Hezbollah infiltrated LAF to act as the heavy against these Iranian satraps will in no way lead to a surging revolt by the Lebanese Shia against Hezbollah, no matter if these Iranian brigands are recognized by the local Shia community as being their masters or collogues.  American sentiments in preventing the uprooting of terrorists wherever they reside is having an effect, and that effect is not diminishing the power and influence of the relative terrorists in their terror enclaves, but rather it is enhancing it.  Hence, so long as the threat of foreign intervention against Hezbollah fails to seriously materialize, don’t look for any intifada rising against Hezbollah from the Lebanese Shia community.

The Christians and the Sunni Muslims in Lebanon have for decades been the sworn enemies of the Shi’ite terror group Hezbollah, which is a tool of the Islamic Republic. Now Sami Gemayel, the leader of the Christian Kataeb Party, has called on the Lebanese Shi’a to rise up and wage an “Intifada” against Hezbollah.

Peloni:  As time creeps by, the US midterms draw closer and Trump becomes more dedicated towards leaving Iran to crash on the rocks of the ever tightening US economic war waged against the regime.  The regime’s decided efforts to continue to become ever more desperate to raise the stakes in what some are describing as a game of political chicken.  The economic consequences of the US blockade has left Iran with no customers bold enough to run afoul of US sanctions, and has led to Iran’s main export hub in Kharg Island shutting down its oil processing.  Iran has little fear of any rising from its people as it has demonstrated its willingness to send any number of dissidents to a speedy end, but it must mainain the support of the regime forces and for this it needs some way to pay these forces.  A recent report indicated that it might be saved by its role in BRICs, but the reality is that BRICs association is not capable of actually saving Iran without drawing the wrath of US sanctions war on the relevant nations involved, which again is why Iran currently has no oil sales and is in turn why its oil exports are going nowhere, making the below report of the US strike enforcing its blockade all the more relevant.

Peloni:  The scourge of Hamas must be eliminated, Jewish pioneers must be allowed to return to Gaza, and the border barrier which today still restrains the psychopaths in Gaza from leaving must be opened.  Failing these results, there is no acceptable or reasonable alternative to having ended the war in Gaza.  Otherwise, a new October 7 is simply waiting to be unleashed once more from the same entity which enacted the original attack, from the same geographic position from which the original attack was mounted, and employing support from the same institutionalized psychopaths trained on a steady diet of Jew Hatred specifically designed to support such an event as the original attack.  Reality rather than fiction is what needs to be acted upon, and the reality is that victory in Gaza was never a choice, it was a survival tactic, and the Trump 20 point plan, made worse by the current proposal of the Roadmap revisions, was intended to precisely deny Israel its victory while substituting a fiction that the Peace Processors have any interest in the safety and security of Israel.

Peloni:  Any violence taking place by Israeli pioneers is taken well in hand by Israeli judicial and legal proceedings.  What remains to be critiqued is the nonsensical claims being manufactured in accordance with UN and foreign NGOs whose manipulative standards of evidence stand in opposition to any reasonable expectations.  Make sure to read the Regavim report on “Settler Violence” : “False Flags and Real Agendas: Settler Violence – A Modern Blood Libel”, which is premanently posted in the top Right column of this site.  This is a vital subject which bears an incredible amount of attention for the purpose of being used to revitalize the defunct Two State Solution.

Jerusalem, 9 August, 2026 (TPS-IL) — On the night of January 27, 2026, violence broke out in the herding hills of Masafer Yatta — that much everyone agrees on. What happened next depends on who’s telling it: a UN dashboard logged it as a 100-strong settler rampage; Israeli military communications describe a Palestinian attack on a shepherd that preceded it. The gap between those two accounts is at the center of a dispute over how the international community measures “settler violence” in Judea and Samaria.

Peloni:  The previously agreed upon arrangement was specifically designed such that there would be zero tolerance for Hamas, period.  It was agreed that Hamas would not exist in govt and it would not exist as a managing terror force outside of the govt and that there would be no arms in Gaza which was to be fully demilitarized.  These were the only points in the entire 20 point plan which gained any support for the plan by Israel, and yet, the newly designed Roadmap is specifically designed to rewrite the previous plan so that Hamas does exist, that it does hold power, and so that Gaza is actually not disarmed.  No means no, and no demilitarization and no deradicalization means no agreement from Israel.

Peloni:  Claims of peace should always be understood to be ephemeral.  This is true everywhere, and in the Middle East it should be understood to have even greater relevance, yet, in Israel it should be understood to hold the very highest relevance.  The Abraham Accords (AA) was an interesting to have joined the interests of the Sunni nations with that of Israel by focusing on the strategic effort to deal with the threat from Iran, which faced all of them, by eliminating the primacy of the Pal situation before doing so.  There were issues of trade and economy which added to the merriment of the AA, but the truth is that the root focus of the Accord was in facing Iran.  Like all things, time pulls at the tapestry of such agreement, rendering even the most decisive of political alignments tenuous, as can be seen to be true with the alliance between America and its European allies who baulked at even lending America its mine sweepers at a critical juncture in the recent war.  Keeping this in mind, the AA was never likely to make the Middle East a permanent nirvana, and as we have seen with the actions of AA signatories and those yet to sign, duplicitous backstabbing was easily not eliminated by the AA as Israel was vociferously opposed by those inside and outside the Accords even before October 7, and even after it as well.  So this latest revelation should not be too terribly surprising.  Hence, the phrase suggesting that one must keep their friends close and their enemies closer might be better understood to note that in the Middle East, the concepts of friendship and peace are based upon a nation’s strength and capabilities.  Indeed, there is a reason that Israel is the only nation that Iran has notably not struck since Trump’s porous ceasefire was announced four months ago.  Israel must keep a close vigilence to the strength and capabilities of the relative actors in the region, and note that only so long as the Jewish State can maintain a significant advantage in these over its potential friends and adversaries will any peace be kept or friendship be held in place.
