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.

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.

US sanctions senior PA and PLO officials  

Peloni:  US should recognize PA as a terrorists organization.  Sanctions are an important tool but the PA has always been a terrorist organization, even as it has been an American equity.  The purpose of the sanctions is to try to make this American equity less inclined to pursue its terrorist activities, but the reality is that the US should disown the PA entirely.

*Is Israel a recipient of US foreign aid?  Or, is Israel a unique force and dollar-multiplier for the US taxpayer, the only largely self-funded, self-manned, low/no-risk, high-return, democratic, stable and unconditional ally of the US, in the face of mutual adversity (Shiite and Sunni Islamic terrorism, China and Russia), and in the pursuit of mutual challenges (e.g., advancing the commercial and defense technological edge)?

Khaled Hassan and Tom Wegner – Abraham Accords or Alliance of Minorities? On the Future of Israel in the Middle East  

Peloni: Khaled Hassan explains that by attacking Syria Israel has set itself back in the region, alienating MBS and others while upsetting a project in Syria which had the backing of the Saudis and the Americans.  While I have argued, and still do, that Israel’s support of the Syrian Druze was both moral and necessary, Hassan’s arguments are important to consider.  What do others think?

Focus on the first 40 min.

Latest Developments

  • U.S. Message to Lebanon: The United States is reportedly increasing pressure on the Lebanese government to issue a cabinet decision demanding the disarmament of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization. Without this commitment, Washington will no longer dispatch U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Thomas Barrack to oversee negotiations with Beirut’s government or put pressure on Israel to halt military operations and withdraw from southern Lebanon. “The U.S. is saying there’s no more Barrack, no more papers back and forth — the council of ministers should [make] a decision and then we can keep discussing.

Israel weighs new Gaza ‘siege plans’ as attempts to resurrect ceasefire talks continue  

Peloni:  The way to gain leverage over Hamas is to pursue victory, not negotiations.  Such blatant efforts placed on the gaining the release of th hostages has made them too great a prize for Israel to afford.

Fake Famine Propagated by Fake News: Demonizing Israel Through Manipulated Imagery  

Peloni:  Rather than endorsing this obvious Hamas propaganda, Western leaders should be speaking out in sync with Netanyahu, condemning this charade for what it is.  The failure of Western leadership is at a crisis moment, leading them to endorse the very rhetoric which is being leveraged to support their own destruction. As reports of online influencers quietly delete images such as that below without commenting on their false reporting, will the leadership of the West continue in the same mood, ignoring the dishonesty, the cowardice and the consequences of their propagating anti-Western Fake News as substantive reports.

Jonathan Feldstein

In an era where information travels faster than ever, the deliberate misuse of images and narratives to shape public opinion has become a potent weapon. A recent and glaring example involves a picture of a sick child in Gaza, falsely portrayed as a victim of starvation caused by Israel. It’s egregious that photos of the 5-year-old boy have been misused to depict Israel as responsible for his condition, buffering claims that Israel is starving children.
