The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been named a terrorist organization in Texas and Florida, and this is not just a symbolic gesture; it could, in fact, have far-reaching implications. But the unsavory gang of traitors, saboteurs and jihad enablers that calls itself a “leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding” is working energetically to protect its assets, albeit in ways that are, not surprisingly, questionable at best.

Peloni:  Jews have always thrived in societies which promote equality before the law, and to the degree that a given society fails this test, the standards of Jew Hatred are remain ever ready to victimize the Jews as has occurred in every age, and we can see this image of societal betrayal unfolding in America perhaps nowhere so clearly today as in Mamdani’s New York City, the second largest Jewish city in the world.

Peloni:  The only successful outcome in this war will come from the fall of the Iranian regime.  This could come from an economic collapse or by military conquest, or a combination of the two.  So far, in recent rounds of attacks by the US, the focus has been upon military targets and infrastructure.  To this mix of targets, the regime authority centers such as the IRGC and Basij commands must be added, as well as the Iranian leadership as well.  Even in doing so, an ground force must be employed to support these aeirial targets.

Since Trump is acquiesing to Turkey on not using the Kurds, the only alternative would be to employ any defecting faction within the non-IRGC Iranian army in support of a popular uprising.  For more than a single reason, I don’t have much hope in the army defecting, but it is possible.  I believe it would be a better choice to use the Kurds, and I think that Iran believes this is true as well, which is why they have been attacking the Kurds non-stop since February 28, even as the “ceasefire” and “negotiations” were being negotiated.

We can defeat enemies who are not afraid to die. But we have to be willing to kill them.

Treating Iran like a state has been a policy failure. Both diplomatic and military efforts to either engage or pressure Iran have all rested on the assumption that its terrorist regime is a state with national interests and that it could be tempted with membership in the international community or pressured to comply through economic sanctions or selective strikes on key targets.

Peloni:  MBS had an important opportunity to form a coalition against the Houthis with UAE several months ago, and instead they chose to literally bomb the UAE out of Yemen.  It was a significant self owned error for which Riyahd is now facing a war with the Houthis with limited choices.  As Christine Douglass-Williams notes below, the Saudis have a history of being at war with the Houthis, and it is a humiliating tale of defeat followed by defeat.  It will be interesting to see if Riyadh is capable of changing that trend in the coming conflict.

Israel has conveyed “serious security concerns” to the White House over the proposed US-backed Hamas disarmament agreement, saying it will not withdraw troops from Gaza until the militant group fully surrenders its weapons.

The removal of US Patriot systems could leave Iraqi Kurdistan more vulnerable after nearly 1,000 missiles and drones targeted the region since February.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | AUGUST 2, 2026

The autonomous Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq has been attacked by around 1,000 missiles and drones since February, when the US and Israeli war on Iran began on February 28.

This has impacted the Kurdistan region greatly, leading to deaths and injuries of dozens of people and causing energy companies to suspend operations. Now the region faces a potential new challenge as US forces may be reducing their presence.

Peloni:  The focus on ending the fighting while announcing peace in our time solves nothing but a return to mowing the grass policies which led to October 7.  A real achievement would come from enacting Trump’s emigration policy and from Israel settlement and permanent control of Gaza.  This current plan is so far from achieving peace that it seems not to bother the Peace Processors in the slightest that the latest proposal which they are now considering to the already adopted UNSC Resolution 2803 is a complete abandonment and reversal of the substantive aspects of the plan enshrined in 2803.  While noting that Resolution 2803 had no chance of achieving the peace it was claimed to bring about, it is clear that the latest crop of Peace Processors are as anxious as the previous Peace Processors in simply wanting something on which to stake a claim of victory, while the actual terms of the agreement are significantly less relevant.

Peloni:  This continues to be a shocking betrayal of justice, in which an unrepentant terrorist inspires future slaughters of innocents while celebrating her past success in the Sbarro Pizza Massacre while literally only lamenting that the slaughter had not been more than the list of 15 dead and 130 wounded.  This craven butcheress needs to be brought to justice.  The Jordanian govt which historically receives the largest economic assistance from the US, is today only outdistanced by Ukraine in this respect.  America also provides a significant source of security and economic benefit of multiple bases in Jordan.

It should be recalled that in May 2020, Rubio was particularly vocal while joining a group of Republican members of Congress while sending a formal request to the Jordanian Ambassador to the United States demanding the extradition of Tamimi, warning that Jordan’s refusal to comply with the 1995 extradition treaty could trigger US sanctions. Rubio also backed linking US economic aid to Jordan’s cooperation on extradition, and was particularly vocal in threatening concrete consequences like sanctions.  As the Secretary of State, Rubio now has the authority to enforce the very consequences which he has previously advanced, and it is well past time that such actions as these be taken to bring Tamimi to justice.

This week is the 25^th anniversary of one of the most horrific terror attacks in Israel during what is referred to as the Second Intifada. During the period from late 2000 through the first half of 2005, more than 1000 Israelis were killed and several thousand wounded as a result of countless Palestinian Arab suicide bombings, shootings, stabbings, and more. While hardly a week went by without some such terror attack, the August 9, 2001 bombing of the Sbarro pizza restaurant in central Jerusalem remains one of the most vivid and vulgar, still today.

For three and a half years, Israel went through five rounds of elections, each time with the same result as the others. Yet most ironically, the final outcome was one of the most stable governments the State of Israel has had in recent decades—a government that completed its full term.

Peloni:  Min. Chikli speaks to a matter that I have been warning about for some time.  The parties on the Right are risking the potential loss of many seats, something that contrasts significantly with how the Right approached the election lists in the last election.  If precautions are not put in place to conserve national camp votes, there will be no landslide victory for the right, even if the public vote for one.

Israel Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli | X |Aug 2, 2026

The event surrounding the small parties on the right is becoming very, very dangerous for the national camp.

To the whole group warming up on the sidelines, I strongly recommend learning the lessons of the Zehut party and the New Right party, not to mention the lessons of the 1992 elections with the Tehiya party, whose failure to pass the electoral threshold paved the way for the Oslo catastrophe.
