Peloni: Min. Chikli’s rebuke of former PM Naftali Bennett is well earned. Egypt is daily positioning itself as an antagonist power to Israel, and it was entirely complicit in the preparations for October 7.  It is completely without any rationale that any compentent voice would advocate their inclusion in Gaza or any other sensitive position in the region.  I honestly don’t know what Bennett is contemplating by offshoring Israeli interests to such a proposal as this, but perhaps he will expand on it further so that we might gain a greater sense of insight as to what he has in mind for the future security parameters for the region.

Although Bennett says quite a lot of foolish things, and in any case it is difficult to attach significance to his words, one cannot remain silent about the reckless statement that the Egyptians should be brought into the Gaza Strip.

Egypt enabled a weapons highway to Hamas for years. In recent months, it has been drawing closer to Turkey and conducting joint military exercises with it, so the statement, “We’ll get rid of Turkey and Qatar and bring in Egypt,” reflects complete ignorance of the evolving regional reality. To suggest bringing this axis into Gaza is strategic folly and irresponsibility whose severity is difficult to overstate.

This clown must not be allowed to come near a leadership position again. We have had enough from bringing the Islamic Movement into the heart of Israel’s governing systems.

Ali Baba “the King” has been a mere figurehead for over two decades. Rania and her family hold the reins, while intelligence mouthpieces sow division among the people in the name of “Jordanian identity”—as they lick the shoes of a Kuwaiti family?!

* A secret report attributed to the U.S. Embassy in Amman, leaked by WikiLeaks, described Rania al-Saroor as “the last one to whisper in the king’s ear”—meaning she has the final say in the state..

Paul Schnee:  I’m so infuriated and sickened by this article about Steven Spielberg funding anti-Semitic politicians, self-hating Jews and Jew-hating organizations.

The last paragraph states: “Steven Spielberg took the proceeds from a film about the murder of six million Jews and directed them to organizations that defend the enemies of the Jewish state. What can one say?”

Well, here’s something one can say: at the very least Spielberg is a verminous kapo.

Forty-four percent of American Jews view Mamdani favorably. That did not happen organically. It is due to the work of a progressive Jewish infrastructure funded by Diaspora liberal Jews.

Forty-four percent of American Jews view Zohran Mamdani favorably, according to an AP-NORC poll released in July 2026 – 1,022 Jewish adults nationwide, margin of error ±5 points. The mayor of New York City – a democratic socialist born in East Africa who ran on Palestinian Arab solidarity, endorsed by progressive Jewish organizations – helped gain office due to Jewish money.

Peloni:  Remember when the world was assured that “The 2020 election was the most secure in U.S. history.”

I always wondered how many people were assured by that statement as compared to how many people became all the more unnerved by how obviously false this statement was when it was first announced by the very organization which was responsible for securing that election and as the SCOTUS sat on its hands.  Not to mention the psyop which was later launched during January 6 to prevent any further inquiries into the most secure election in history.

To be honest, I expected details such as this to have been released long before the 2026 election after Trump returned to the White House, and yet the full details are not remotely done being released.

The Commerce Department’s Census Bureau has released an analysis indicating that more than 24,000 noncitizens didn’t merely register to vote—they allegedly cast illegal ballots in the 2020 election.

And that may be only the beginning. More than 32 million additional voter records are expected to be analyzed in the coming weeks, potentially uncovering tens of thousands more illegal votes. Where those ballots were cast—in which swing states, congressional districts and razor-thin local races is critical. Even a fraction of that number could change the outcome of a close election.

President Trump’s vision of Middle eastern policy is going down paths previously pursued by Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes, and Obama in their administrations. The idea being to embrace an enemy, cater to them seeking their favor and ignore the concerns of allies.

In a February 2017 piece at Tower Magazine author Michael J. Totten opens with two observations.

At the end of WWII and four years of fighting à genocidal Nazi regime in Germany and similar, but not quite as monstrous Imperial Japan, after firebombing the former and nuking the latter, and invading with ground forces to hunt out, seek and destroy the enemy military as much as possible, we didn’t “invite” representatives of the Waffen SS Stormtroopers or Gestapo to provide any “input” regarding terms of their unconditional surrender and such.

Peloni:  The move to turn the duties of law enforcement over to law enforcement authorities from the IDF is entirely appropriate.  Civilians should not be faced with army units for allegations of civil indiscretions, no matter their nature so long as they do not threaten the nation itself.  Such a position should be easily supported by all democracies, be it in America, Europe or Israel.   The distinction is vital to grasp, and has far ranging implications for the people themselves as well as the IDF which is not trained for policing actions.  This will be one of the most pivotal moves taken by the current govt, and it should be noted that it is honestly just one of several which is changing the land of Israel for the better.  Bravo Min. Israel Katz!

Peloni:  If true, this is yet one more damning revision to Trump’s 20-Point Plan in which Hamas was to have NO political role going forward as stipulated in Point #13:

Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form.

The Butchers of October 7 are to literally be on the ballot deciding who will come to rule Gaza after their presumed removal from power.

For months, Hamas resisted one of the central demands of the US-backed plan for Gaza: that it disarm. President Trump’s broader Gaza plan called for Hamas to disarm and have no governing role in Gaza, while the newer 15-point roadmap likewise provides for phased disarmament. Hamas nevertheless insisted that surrendering its weapons was a red line.
