For nearly half a century, Israel and Iran have defined themselves partly through mutual hostility. That may be changing – not through official diplomacy between the two governments, which don’t exist, but through a growing, increasingly public relationship between Jerusalem and Iran’s exiled opposition, centered on Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Peloni:  Brigadier General Res. Erez Winner provides an important war update following his recent meeting with Defense Minister Katz.  Among the most important topics raised is Winner’s discussion of facilitating voluntary movement of Gazans out of Gaza and Israeli settlement in Gaza beginning at about 12 min. mark.  Facilitating Gazans emigration is the most important task in Gaza.

Before I begin my thoughts for today’s posting, I mark with sadness the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, who apparently he died of cardiac arrest. He was a true friend of Israel.

Los Angeles, CA – A leading comic book publisher has canceled the publication of a book about the Holocaust following the author’s refusal to publicly denounce Israel.

Dark Horse Comics had scheduled publication of Dr. Rafael Medoff’s book, Cartoonists Against the Holocaust, for this summer—but a Dark Horse imprint editor told Medoff that he would block publication unless the book’s introduction stated that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Shortly after, the editor followed up in writing, demanding that the book include text accusing Israel of “war crimes and crimes against humanity” and claiming there are “concentration camp-style prisons” in the United States.

Peloni:  Again and again and again, Western Leftists come to Israel while seeking a basis on which  to target citizens of the Jewish state so as to both distract their constituency but also to gain greater support among the activist radicalized Islamists within their constituency.   As Islamist grow in power and strength in the West, they are gaining greater influence over their domestic leadership, which has an important consequence not only for the Israelis living in their own homeland, but also for the non Islamist members of the relative domestic populations in the West.

It is summer once again, and anti-Zionist politicians in the UK have started another unfair attack against Jewish families and communities in Judea and Samaria. Recently, a debate in the UK Parliament focused on a dangerous proposal to make it a crime to buy land in Judea and Samaria. Supporters of this idea argued that the settlements are illegal under international law. Thankfully, several opponents in the legislature rightly challenged the proposal, pointing out that it is completely discriminatory and inconsistent.

The massively wealthy leftist is trying to position himself as a potential Democrat presidential nominee and needs a distraction from his money.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Crazifornia), who has dreams of becoming the Democrats’ 2028 presidential nominee,  traveled to an imaginary country called “Palestine,” and then publicly claimed that a real nation—Israel—wrongfully detained him. Israel quickly set the record straight, but Khanna’s viciously slanted narrative is getting traction.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights overlooks the  Arab invasion of 1948 and the expulsion of  Jews from Arab lands to present a one-sided narrative.

The Canadian Museum of Human Rights has recently unveiled an exhibit titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present, with the stated goal of educating the Canadian public on the 1948 displacement of Palestinians.

Peloni:  This case sends a clear message both about the Jordanian govt’s continued support of the Muslim Brotherhood, but also about Washington’s current interest in altering the power and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood even in Jordan at current.  If Trump’s ban is going to have any effect at all, it must address the ability of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates to avoid accountability by simply changing the names of the affiliations. Otherwise, Trump’s ban will be as ineffectual as the captured Muslim states which are now controlled/controlling the political leaderships which are intended to enforce already existing bans on the Muslim Brotherhood in the region.  Relevantly, if the Trump ban does not act to eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood even in the named localities where the ban is applied, it will only serve to insulate the Muslim Brotherhood everywhere, and most importantly, that includes their influence being wielded in America as well.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to secure support for a future governing coalition suffered another setback this week after the spiritual leader of a key ultra-Orthodox party declared he no longer believes Netanyahu will meet the party’s demands on military conscription.

Peloni:  The age of Jews partitioning their birthright in hopes of gaining peace, only to pay an ever rising butcher’s bill is at an end.  If the Arabs want peace, they will find that the land bazaar, gifting them with the means of establishing a forward base aimed at the destruction of the Jewish State, is permanently closed.  Bilateral relations, trade negotiations, and strategic defense interactions are possible, but further concessions of land is at a close.

Victor Satya 

History tells a story the slogans never do, because facts are rarely as persuasive as familiar narratives.

For decades, Israel has been accused of three great crimes. It supposedly occupies because it cannot let go. It expands because it cannot stop. And it wages war because peace is somehow contrary to its nature.

In the first half of the video, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki contends that the real divide between Israeli political factions lies in their support for or against Netanyahu, but that the anti Zionist faction in Israel has been dwarfed, leaving only a debate over which policy decisions are wise or foolish among the Zionist parties.

Chapter 1 – June 30

My uncle was entrusted with many military secrets—some from his combat service over the decades, and some from his work in a unit that developed weapons. I remember one particularly closely guarded secret about which he waited 50 years so that he could tell it, identify it, acknowledge it (of course I do not know the details of the secret). When that period passed, my uncle was still here—and we are now celebrating his 91st birthday—but his memory is gone, and those things remain buried in the past, as though they had never been.

• Israel is the party most directly affected by any development involving Iran — whether diplomatic negotiations, sanctions relief, or military action. Its security is daily on the line. Israel therefore must be included in every discussion, every operation, and every strategic decision concerning Iran.

Peloni:  Important video by Dr. Mordechai Kedar.  In the war between good and evil, Trump is being poorly informed of the nature of his adversary, as well as the context of the region, and in turn this is resulting in disappointing and dangerous outcomes for Americans and Israelis due to  these misconceptions.  Shame is rather meaningless commodity in the West, but in the Middle  East whole kingdoms rise and fall based on the servitude to the reverence and handling of shame.  So when Trump tolerates Iran’s attacks on his Arab allies to appease Iran, he seems oblivious to the fact that these actions threaten the stability of those allied regimes whose honor and familial reputations are being ignored.  The same dishonor which Trump has forced on his allies is now being applied to Iran, and this is something which has driven them to distraction.  List of major topics discussed by Kedar is below.  You won’t want to miss this.

Why the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is failing its own mission by presenting an incomplete history of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Michel Benchimol | Jul 07, 2026

History Without Context Is Not History

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights was created to serve as a national institution grounded in truth, moral clarity, and historical integrity.

Its mandate is not merely to evoke empathy, but to educate—carefully, rigorously, and honestly—about the complexities of human suffering and the forces that shape it.

Update:  US military strikes now taking place in Iran.

Peloni:  As of 30 minutes before posting this article, the war continues on with Trump posting a photo of a B-1 Lancer and a B-2 Spirit, an obvious threat, the meaning of which is not yet clear.  It appears that the Iranians recieved the message as they are continuing to launch missiles on the Strait of Hormuz at this moment.

Renewed Iranian attacks on its neighbors stretch around 3,000km, expanding the battlefield, pursuing its goal of spreading the conflict as wide as possible.

Peloni:  Avi Abelow perfectly describes where things stand and how they will likely proceed from here with the new outlook on Trumps efforts to continue his attempts at negotiations between rounds of war.  He also captures an accurate assessment of the political leadership in Israel going into new elections.  It is important to acknowledge that those men who are being considered to replace Bibi as PM each demonstrated aspects of strategic failure in the days, months and years which have past since October 7.  To be certain, Bibi failed to act to safeguard Gaza as Jewish lands, and that was an important setback not to be lightly dismissed.  Yet, as I have noted often, if it were not for Bibi having stood down the calls from those who pushed for Israel surrendering to Biden’s policy of “Don’t” among other issues, the position of the IDF today would not be in controlling 60-70% of Gaza, rather the IDF would be positioned outside of Gaza, or with at most a tiny fraction of it, with Hamas still being fed weapons from Egypt thru Rafah without any Israeli interference.
