Peloni: As Trump secures the beginning of peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, these efforts promote the interests of both an intrinsic Israeli ally, Azerbaijan, and a worrisome adversary, Turkey, in the same moment.

Recently, Hamas released horrific videos depicting two Israeli hostages, Evytar David and Rom Braslavski,who have now been held in captivity in inhuman conditions for 670 days. One particularly harrowing video shows David, visibly emaciated, being forced to dig what appears to be his own grave in a Hamas tunnel beneath Gaza. These images evoke painful historical parallels of the Holocaust and the brutal conditions of Nazi concentration camps. Jews were rounded up throughout Europe and forced to dig their own graves before they were executed along with their family, neighbors, and entire communities. Jewish concentration camp survivors were so emaciated that they were little more than skin and bones, and some left for dead who were actually still alive. On my first trip to Israel, I had the privilege to meet a woman who was the daughter of one of those who was left for dead.

PM Netanyahu: ‘We don’t want to keep the strip or govern there’

The Israeli Security Cabinet ordered the Israel Defense Forces to take control of the entire Gaza Strip, approving a plan supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite significant concerns from the military top leadership.
And the same is true for America.

Why can’t the United States of America or Israel ever seem to win their ‘endless wars’? Because they have yet to fight the real enemy. Israel’s air strikes on Iran at least targeted the actual IRGC backers of Oct 7, while the U.S. has yet to deal with the Saudi, Qatari and Pakistani governments behind 9/11. But there is a hidden enemy that can’t just be droned.
What did Osama bin Laden and Hamas have in common? Both were part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Even more than Iran or any government, it’s the Muslim Brotherhood that binds together worldwide terrorist threats with political domestic pressure campaigns. The spectrum of Brotherhood influence combines together not only armed Jihadis, but Qatar’s Al Jazeera and other media influence operations, CAIR and other internal Democrat pressure groups and a majority of the mosques operating inside the United States. And that’s only the beginning.
Peloni: Despite the fanfare in Lebanon, the security threat from Hezbollah remains no more likely to be resolved than does the security threat in Syria at the moment. Recalling that 45% of the Lebanese Armed Forces remains to be Shiite is just one of the factors demonstrating this fact.

Executive Summary
Despite a flurry of international diplomatic activity intended to stabilize the situation on the Israel – Lebanon border and the Israel – Syria border, the basic requirements on Israel’s part for a safe and sustainable withdrawal of the IDF from forward positions in southern Lebanon and southern Syria do not exist for the time being, and it is doubtful whether they will exist in the near future.

Canada has opened its door wide to infiltration from the Muslim Brotherhood, establishing a beachhead for deeper inroads into the US. Even now, Muslims are probing how much they can annow and terrorize Canadian Jews, without actually getting physical, which will come later.

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB), mainly through Qatar, has spread extremism, instability and terrorism from the Middle East to the rest of the world. Qatar’s state television, Al-Jazeera, now a massive media empire, is the leading MB propaganda outlet. Pictured: The late Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the MB, speaks while seated beside Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, at a conference held in Qaradawi’s honor that was broadcast on Al-Jazeera on July 16, 2007.

Peloni: Frank Gaffney provides a fact check on the Tucker Carlson/John Mearsheimer interview with Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center. A fantastic review of the fundamental mistakes which underline Mearsheimer’s career which has been based around ignoring foreign influence in the US which can not be (incorrectly) attributed to Israel. Well worth watching.

In late July, Turkish defense contractors used the 2025 International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) to showcase the latest additions to the country’s arsenal. Headlining the event were two striking developments: the “Tayfun Block-4” hypersonic ballistic missile and the “Gazap” bunker-busting, non-nuclear thermobaric bomb. Both weapons, now within the Turkish military’s reach, are capable of striking targets well inside the territories of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus—neighbors that already view Ankara’s ambitions with deep suspicion.
Peloni: Highly recommended video! This video includes discussions relating to proposed strategies put forward for Israel’s future security. It includes Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel’s Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, Adam Milstein – Israeli- American philanthropist and thought leader, and Prof. Alan Dershowitz – Renowned American jurist, Harvard Law professor emeritus, and is hosted by Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, Head of JISS.
Particular attention should be paid to Dershowitz’ statement beginning at 39min and the discussion which follows. Dershowitz explains that the world’s return to widespread Jew Hatred is not the exception, but is the norm which has been experienced throughout world history. He also notes that we should expect that US support for Israel will will be significantly diminished over the next decade, noting that it has already lost the support of the Democrats, and if VP Vance advances to lead the Republicans, being a member of the isolationist wing of the Republicans, support for Israel will likely be significantly scaled back. Due to this fact, Israel must develop a self sufficient arm industry to support itself going forward. Much more to gained in this very important conversation.
Peloni: Trump’s proposed plan to dramatically increase US involvement in aid distribution in Gaza is ill advised. There is no situation which warrants the US putting boots on the ground in Israel, and that includes inside Gaza. Additionally, the suggestion that the Sunni states should be given any role in Gaza is also misguided. Gaza must be controlled and managed under Israel’s authority, not that of foreign powers.
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” |August 6, 2025
Does the US extend to Israel an annual foreign aid of $3.8bn, or does the US make an annual $3.8bn investment in Israel, which yields to the US a Return-on-Investment that exceeds – exponentially – the annual investment?
*The US’ power projection – in the Middle East and in the face of Russia and China – has been substantially upgraded by Israel’s battle-proven military and technological capabilities and its surging posture of deterrence. Unlike NATO, South Korea and Japan, Israel has bolstered the US’ regional and global strategic posture without US bases/troops. Israel has done it due to its stability, effectiveness and reliability (irrespective of Left or Right government); and, its pro-active military action against anti-US Islamic terrorism. Israel has contributed to the US defense and economy by acting as a cost-effective battle-tested laboratory for US defense and aerospace industries, which has contributed mega billions of dollars to the saving in research and development costs – and increased exports – of advanced US military systems (combat aircraft, etc.), and sharing innovative battle tactics with the US Armed Forces.

May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and Figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. He also declared that the United States government “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance”. George Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790.
I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing nations. If I were an atheist of the other sect, who believe, or pretend to believe, that all is ordered by chance, I should believe that chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate to all mankind the doctrine of a supreme, intelligent, wise, Almighty Sovereign of the universe, which I believe to be the great essential principle of all morality, and consequently of all civilization. President John Adams, Letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, Feb. 18, 1809
Peloni: Fake news which didn’t even pass the test of being believable in the first place. And yet, so many have leant credence to this fable.
Claims raise questions regarding journalistic independence in Gaza
(Photo: Screenshot)
Amidst the international outrage that followed the publication of malnourished children in Gaza, which were later revealed to be suffering from congenital diseases, and the widespread use of photos showing Gaza civilians scrambling for aid, in apparent distress while waiting to receive food, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung alleges that some of those photos were staged by a Hamas-affiliated photographer.
