The Iranian regime claimed this month that it foiled two Israeli spy rings’ attempts to enter the Islamic Republic. What were those spy rings looking for? Nuclear arms secrets?  Maybe not.

Israel has recently targeted non-nuclear personnel who direct weapons transfers and plan terrorist acts. Rather than just attack Iran’s proxies in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, Israel has decided to attack the head of the octopus within Iran. And they are being uncharacteristically open about it. Israel’s National Security Adviser, Eyal Hulata, went as far as to say that Israel has “acted quite a lot in Iran over the past year.”

The IDF has acquitted itself well in the first few days of its campaign in Gaza against Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Here are some of its accomplishments so far.

First, it has decapitated the terror group’s leadership. A report on its killing of both Tayseer al-Jabari and Khaled Mansour, the leaders of PIJ in the northern and southern commands, respectively, is here: “Israel strikes and kills another top Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza,” by Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, August 7, 2022:

The US State Department has approved the potential sale of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system missiles, THAAD fire control and communication stations, and related equipment to the United Arab Emirates, Reuters reported this week. In addition, the “State Department has approved the potential sale of Patriot missiles and related equipment to Saudi Arabia in a deal valued at up to $3.05 billion,” the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

You’ve all heard by now that Biden’s FBI, with the blessing of Garland & Biden, raided President Trump’s home in Florida today. Rather than write a newsletter about this – as the situation is unfolding – I’ll post important statements I think you should hear – as I find them.

Remember that Lawrence Tribe, the DNC mega-lawyer, told us months ago that Team Biden planned to arrest & indict President Trump to stop him from running for President. Here is what he said:

It Is Damaging The Palestinian People In Service Of Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions

MEMRI  August 8, 2022

Following the August 5-7, 2022 military conflict between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Israel, criticism was voiced in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, appearing in both the press and social media. Critics claimed, inter alia, that PIJ is an Iranian proxy organization operating in Iranian interests and thus inflicting suffering on the Gaza Strip residents, and that the conflict erupted because of Iran’s desire to accelerate the nuclear negotiations in Vienna. One writer criticized the launch of Iranian missiles from within the Gaza Strip’s civilian population.

Another round of fighting in Gaza has ended with a brokered cease-fire after a limited yet deadly exchange of fire between a terror organization and the Israel Defense Forces. The fighting lasted three days, more than 1,000 rockets were fired at Israel—including toward Tel Aviv and Jerusalem—and millions of Israelis found cover and relative safety thanks to the phenomenal Iron Dome, which intercepted more than 96% of the lethal rockets aimed at Israeli civilians.

The Israeli Air Force struck a Palestinian Islamic Jihad “attack tunnel” in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Sunday morning, the military said, as Operation Breaking Dawn entered the third day.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the tunnel, built several meters underground from the southern Gaza city of Rafah, was to be used to “enter and attack Israel by surprise.”

Former Prime Minister speaks with Fox News amid continuing rocket attacks by Islamic Jihad.

Israel National News   Aug 7, 2022, 8:50 PM (GMT+3)

Israeli Opposition Leader and former Premier MK Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s ongoing military operation against Islamic Jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip in an interview with Fox News Sunday.

Netanyahu condemned Islamic Jihad, while emphasizing that the terrorist group is merely a proxy of Tehran.

“Islamic Jihad… is guided by Iran, they are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tehran.”

Uri Weiss. I watched this video of the amazing Canadian, Polly St. George and it shook me to the core. All 5 doctors (three from one hospital in Mississauga) were young, athletic one was an Olympian and the lady doctor 27, was a triathlon athlete. These are the most fit people so unlikely to die on mass, within a couple of weeks interval. It all corresponds with introduction of the mandatory Luciferian booster introduced at all health facilities in Ontario. The conspiracy to commit crime is in the open. There is complete radio silence from the Turd-ough bribed media and the information about the deceased doctors came from the internal memoranda in the respective hospitals. In a normal society this would make headlines, but we are living in dark ? medieval times of general mass formation psychosis in which a sinister cabal of sick psychopaths declared an open war on humanity.

The sixth doctor also in his thirties, a newcomer to Canada from India, died also in a hospital in Saskatchewan.

What is also shocking is the lack of rage and indignation from family members and from the general public. Similar carnage, even on a larger scale takes place in Israel and what is missing is the rage of ordinary citizens in the face of this sinister genocide, perpetrated by the worst psychopaths to walk on the face of this earth…

These murderers must be all hanged one day in the public square.

AMAZING POLLY

• The breakdown in Israel-Soviet relations was later compounded by Israel’s defensive victories against the Arabs in 1967 and again in 1973. Over this period all hope of Israel becoming a Soviet client had steadily evaporated. Arab armies sponsored, trained and equipped by the USSR had been humiliated, and so had Moscow. Thus the Soviets progressively developed a policy of undermining Israel. Their primary objective was to use the country as a weapon in their Cold War struggle against the US and the West.

Israel has recently killed a military leader of the Iran-backed Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza.  Tayseer al-Jabari, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike on 5 August, was the key military commander for the said group and has been considered the group’s leader since 2019.  The killing was the first step in what Israel named Operation Breaking Down to target Islamic Jihad operations and installations in Gaza.

The timing of the killing and the launch of the operation remains a mystery to some because the Islamic Jihad was not engaged in launching rockets against Israel at the time and the front with Gaza has been quiet since the last major confrontation in May of 2021.

Former President Trump believes he has a winning formula for his Republican Party during the upcoming midterm elections and beyond.

During a rousing, well-received speech to conservatives Saturday evening at a CPAC event in Dallas, Texas, the 45th president, who has teased running again for the White House in 2024 for more than a year, called for directly assailing President Joe Biden’s agenda as well as the Democrats who control Congress.

Last week, the al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri was assassinated by American forces in his safe house in Kabul. Reaction ranged from congratulatory and admiring to a muted sucking of teeth by those on the wrong side in the war against the west.

On Friday, Israeli forces assassinated a senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which it believed to be preparing a deadly attack against Israeli civilians. In retaliation, the terror group started firing hundreds of missiles at Israeli civilians.

The West is restoring the global strategic vision that gave it victory in the world wars and the Cold War.

By Michel Gurfinkiel, MEFORUM

A new Western global strategy is taking shape. Its development was evident during President Biden’s tour in the Middle East—specifically at the July 14 online summit with the quadrilateral I2U2 Group: Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi (the I’s) and the United Arab Emirates’ president Mohamed bin Zayed and Mr. Biden (the U’s).
