The Midnight Zone  

by Linda Goudsmit | August 2, 2025

Approximately 90% of the ocean is aphotic––without light––the midnight zone of the ocean where sunlight cannot penetrate and no photosynthesis can occur. So it is with child sex trafficking, a midnight zone where children are hidden in darkness and the traumatic abuse they suffer prevents their growth and development. The midnight zone is also aphonic––without sound––a place where these sex trafficked children are exploited and have no voice. So, what lives in the midnight zone? Apex predators like giant squid. Some have grown to 57-feet long with eight arms and eyes the size of basketballs.

The apex predators who sell and traffick children for sex are the giant squid of the midnight zone, their tentacles reach deep into American society to ensnare the children and collapse society from within. In a stunning July 24, 2025 interview Epoch Times reporter Jan Jekielek discusses, “How Traffickers Prey on America’s Youth: Jaco Booyens.” Jaco Booyens is founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries (JBM), an anti-human trafficking organization committed to protecting American children from predatory exploitation.

David Wurmser: Recognizing Palestinian Statehood Won’t Help the People in Gaza  

Peloni:  The move by the international community to whimsically call into existence the state of Palestine, devoid of logistics, legality and logic, is only evidence of their further callous devotion to the policy of the Two State Solution, which was never intended to bring peace, but only to cripple, if not destroy, Israel.  While the Arab Palestinian state exists in Jordan, it is interesting how little attention, truthfully none, is paid to the state of subjugation and penury which exists among the Palestinians living in their own state of Jordan, while the international community lies quiescent and complicit to the plight of misery under which the vestigial colonialist Hashemites keep their Palestinian subjects so badly subjugated.  The only interest which the international community have ever had for the Palestinians is to weaponize them against Israel, which is again the only purpose in declaring a Palestinian state before forcing even the first reform upon the leadership ruling over the Palestinians, not in the PA, not in Gaza, and not even in Jordan.  Never forget that Jordan is Palestine, even as the Jordanian Hashemite overlords have ripped citizenship from millions of Jordanians, and prevents them from entering the state which was created for the Arabs who lived under the Palestinian Mandate.

Diplomatic Terrorism?: France’s Recognition of an Imaginary Palestinian State  

Peloni: The sick fascination of the West with their long failed project of the Two State Solution remains their every solution for any problem, while ignoring the complete illegalities which exist in forcing such an solution upon the Israeli people.  In doing so, those who have taken to supporting this latest iteration of weaponizing the Palestinians against the Israelis do so with the most glaring lack of decency.  Their intent has consistently been to keep the ultimate victims in this shell game of terror, the Palestinians themselves, in a constant state of abuse, not by Israel, but by the very institutions and governing bodies which  the International community has subsidized for decades to the purpose of weaponizing the Palestinians against the Israeli people.  In this moment, under the guise of humanitarian interests once more, they are using the same fraudulent process of a Two State Solution to indefinitely perpetuate the state of horror which culminated in the October 7 slaughter.  This pernicious attempt to solidify this project of destruction against Israel will only serve to solidify the Israeli people against this calumny.

by Drieu Godefridi  •  Gatestone Institute  •  July 31, 2025

On 24 July 2025, France announced its decision to recognize the existence of a “Palestinian state” in September. President Emmanuel Macron portrayed this move as an act of “justice” and “peace.” In reality, however, this recognition constitutes a geopolitical fiction. Once again, France finds itself on the wrong side of history. Not on the side of human rights. Not on the side of peace. But on the side of lies, dishonor and collaboration with the enemies of humanity. (Screengrab via Youtube [Cropped])

  • International law — particularly Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention — defines the criteria for statehood: a permanent population, a defined territory, an effective government, and the capacity to engage in relations with other states. Yet neither of the two Palestinian political entities meets these criteria.

From Israel: Despicable Lies and Israel’s Choices!!  

Arlene Kushner | July 30, 2025

AFP

Before writing this post, I conducted a brief on-line search for the countries that have the most famine. Those that show up at the top of the list are places like Yemen, South Sudan, Haiti, the Congo, Chad and Somalia. Search for yourselves. Feel the shock I felt at seeing some of the truly horrendous pictures of children wasting away. (I have opted not to put up any of those deeply upsetting pictures here.)

Something REALLY BIG Just Happened At The UN, And It Appears That “The New York Declaration” Could Potentially Change Everything  

Peloni: Trump must make the same threat made against Carney more broadly against England and France to end this.

Whether he does or does not, it should be made clear that there will be no return of the TSS, not now, not ever.  Importantly, the recent move by the Knesset to pass a symbolic statement on extending sovereignty to Judea and Samaria makes this point clear.  Steps must now be put into motion to end the farce of appeasing foreign nations.  Israel must finally choose its own fate or face her fate being chosen by foreign interlocutors instead.

The time to act is now, the only question is whether the actions will be chosen by Israel or by her enemies.

The mainstream media mostly ignored what occurred at the UN this week, but it is a monster story. We are literally witnessing the biggest international push for recognition of a Palestinian state that we have ever witnessed. The “International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution” ended on Wednesday, and it produced a blueprint for peace in the Middle East called “the New York Declaration”. The following information about “the New York Declaration” comes from the official UN website

This Tisha B’Av: Much of the world would love to add to the catastrophes marked by the day  

Thankfully, our rootedness back in the Land of Israel gives us the strength to confront growing adversity. 

It is increasingly difficult to look at a news site, paper or podcast and not be accosted with either anti-Semitic physical attacks or anti-Israel accusations about Gaza and the broader Middle East.

To hazard a guess, I suspect that much of the world would love to add a current catastrophe to the list of calamities that the Jewish people remember on Tisha B’Av. The specifics of that addition are not as important as the intent: as they say, it’s the thought that counts.

In the Palestinian Authority, ‘Police By Day, Terrorists By Night’  

Peloni:  Recall that the PA is an American equity, that they armed it, funded it, and trained it.  It is time for them to completely repudiate it, outlaw it, and designate it as a terrorist entity, which it has been since its inception.

The one point on which the PA and Hamas agree.

by

It turns out that many of the police serving in the Palestinian Authority Security Force (PASF) have been moonlighting as terrorists. They were originally trained by American police, paid with American aid dollars, and are now being relied on to help Israel fight terrorists in Judea and Samaria. But instead of fighting terrorists, they are themselves terrorists. More on the double lives of “Palestinian” policemen can be found here: “‘Terrorists in Uniform:’ The PA police moonlight as terrorists,” Elder of Ziyon, July 18, 2025:

Antisemitism: Humanity’s totalitarian swamp  

Jew-hatred spikes when societies are under stress and totalitarian thinking spreads, Left and Right.

Decades ago, when we commemorated Tisha B’Av at Young Judaea’s Camp Tel Yehudah, we related to the long list of Jewish traumas as historical events that afflicted our unfortunate ancestors, forever ago, in ghettoized galaxies far, far away. Born into the post-Auschwitz covenant, we considered Jew-hatred passé, doomed, like racism. Alas, today, it’s surging.

The Battle for Truth  

By Ari Bussel

A few weeks ago, I was shocked when one of the daughters of a business colleague expressed deep concern for Greta [Thunberg], whom the State of Israel had allegedly “kidnapped” from the deck of a ship trying to break the blockade on Gaza and deliver much-needed supplies to the starving population. See the power that fairy tales have over American youth from good homes. That young girl and her sister even attend a school where the majority are Jewish.

Trump Threatens Trade Deal With Canada After Liberal Gov’t Moves To Recognize A Palestinian State  

Peloni:  This threat by Trump must be made more broadly against England and France as well, if it is to have the weight needed to end this threat by the same internationalists who made October 7 a reality.

President Donald Trump has threatened to stall trade talks with Canada late Wednesday night after Canada’s move to recognize a Palestinian state.

Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at a press conference on Wednesday that America’s northern neighbor was planning to recognize a Palestinian state in September’s United Nations (UN) General Assembly. The president took to Truth Social on Wednesday night to respond to the Canadian leader’s announcement.

Inside the harrowing attack on Syria’s Druze — and why the US’ first in the right direction is vita  

Hussain Abdul-Hussain | July 28, 2025

I woke to voice notes from Mazen, his Suwayda Druze dialect thick with tears.

“Jolani’s ISIS are massacring us,” he said, referring to the forces of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Jolani from his Al-Qaeda days. “Please talk to anyone you know in Washington to help us,” he pleaded.

Over the next five days, I exchanged information with Mazen, Muhannad, Makram, Gadeer, Shadi and other Druze in Syria, Lebanon and Israel, piecing together the unfolding horror. I was the only non-Druze in the group.
