*The annual US $3.8bn “foreign aid” to Israel – which is earmarked to purchase only US-made military systems – has been framed under a misleading banner: “foreign aid.” To most Americans, “foreign aid” evokes images of charity, one-way transfers, funded by hard-working Americans, serving needs in foreign lands, rather than satisfying dire US domestic needs. That framing is not just imprecise; it is a most consequential misnomer in the US budget.

Lenny Goldberg, who lives in Samaria and has his own Bible Study podcast series, analyzes the facts on the ground in Samaria which led to the recent tragedy in which two Israelis, a security officer and IDF major, were killed during last Friday’s terror attack near Havat Gilad.  Benayahu Melet, of blessed memory, and Maj. Yuval Ezra, 27, from Herzliya, were needlessly murdered in the recent terror attack in the Samarian hillside when a group of Arab terrorists actually seized a rifle from Israeli security officer Benaymen Melet.

During an interview on Kol Berama radio in Jerusalem, Misgav Institute’s Prof. Zaki Shalom relates that Trump canceled a Friday night attack on Iran, and is instead using the threat of agreeing to have Israel return to complete the job in Iran.  This is why there was no further attacks by the US on the 14th day of resuming targets strikes against Iran.

Peloni:  We are an ancient and powerful people, with the means of achieving great successes even while we face great adversity in every age.  Yet, we will be consumed by the success of the plague of  self destruction, bitter rivalries, and internal enmity if we can not temper the  recurring trait of baseless hatred from dominating our agendas.  Unity is the basis on which our survival can be charted, while our destruction will come from the contrary.  We saw this in our ancient past, and as I have recently noted, and which Victor Satya captures so well below, we have also seen this in the very hours of the reconstitution of our state had begun to be realized.  We can face any foe, and all of them at once as we have recently seen, but only by doing so as one people with a common purpose rather than as various factions who are too busy vying for the destruction of one another while mistaking where the real enemies lie.  While noting this, it is interesting that while Netanyahu is calling for a unity govt, joining all factions in the country as one, the opposition maintains there strongest focus as being a govt which does not include the largest party while admitting that it is simply due to their great disgust of the man leading it.  This campaign of division is characterized by their willingness to join with non-Zionist and shamefully compare the leadership of Raam to an actual Israeli hero.  Make no doubt about it, baseless hatred is on the ballot in Octobers elections, and the choice could not be more clear.  The only questions we need to consider is that, as we are facing onslaughts from every angle, and as the world is reshaping the entire Middle East, will the pursuit of sinking another Altalena be the consequence of the next election, and, if so, how terrible might the tragedy be that follows the latest example of our own divisions once more flying the flag of Baseless Hatred as our most resilient and defining trait.

A promise forged in the smoke of the Altalena now faces its greatest test—not on the battlefield, but between brothers.

We have people who consider themselves superior to everyone else — gatekeepers, and various elites — for whom what applies to others is not supposed to apply to them.

In recent years they have been fueling hatred against the Haredim, because, according to them, all Haredim evade military service, choosing instead to sit idly and unproductively and study the Torah all day long.  In their eyes, these leeches receive enormous budgets and entitlements, while the mainstream, secular population has to serve (both mandatory service and reserve duty) and contribute the majority of its earnings to fund them.

Not only has Karim Khan, the International Criminal Court’s senior prosecutor, just now been fired from his job, after a vote by the organization’s member states — the result of credible charges brought against him of sexual assault and rape of a subordinate, but he is unlikely to be hired by any law firm should he try to return to the practice of law. No one wants to have on staff someone with his unseemly, even criminal, background.

Yesterday, a Jewish man was stabbed on Manhattan’s Upper West Side—the neighborhood where I grew up. According to the victim and witnesses, the attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out the assault. Yet almost immediately, discussion turned to the possibility of mental illness.

Perhaps the attacker was mentally ill. But if someone shouting “Christ is King” while stabbing people would prompt immediate questions about ideology, why is there such reluctance to ask whether someone invoking one of Islam’s most well-known religious phrases may have been motivated by jihadist ideology? Authorities are still investigating the motive, but the reflex to dismiss the ideological possibility before the investigation is complete is itself revealing.

Peloni:  Recall that it was Kruschev who warned that America would fall like an over ripe apple, and decades following the fall of his own over ripe regime, the seeds of Soviet narratives is finding some support among the misguided youths in the West who have the dubious benefit of not having learned the import and terror associated with what was once known as “duck and cover drills” (link for those who forgot or never knew this term).  Indeed, the cocoon of ignorance and bliss, coaxed along with the guiding hand of state run institutions of education which serve to indoctrinate the young, have come to see the emerging generations of the West fulfilling the prophesy of Kruschev, albeit some 7 decades later.  So it is rewarding to hear Rubio reference the truth about the basis on which this prophesy is being sold to the young.  The threads of identity which tie a nation together can only serve as the basis on which nationhoods are maintained if that identity is actually valued rather than villified.  The Soviets understood this, and America did as well.  Yet to promote the globalist goal of seeing nation states fall, this anti Western narrative has been renewed with an ever greater push from within Western nations against their own identities, stripping them of the truth about what made America American and Britain British.  Til such time as the West can recall what once made it great and powerful, Western decline will persist to the benefit of the globalist elites as they continue to promote their banter of Western vilification.  Western reforms, rather than Western transformation should be the goal of the West, and the distinction between these two dueling agendas is whether there was ever anything remarkable and empowering which made Western society the envy of the world.  The truth is that there was, but few under the age of 25 will likely argue that this is true, and herein lies the greatest vehicle on which Western decline continues declining.

It has been a painful time in a host of different ways, and healing is certainly not yet complete. But the pain has forged Israeli strength, and, let us hope, mistakes that have been made have schooled us in wiser ways.

Peloni:  There are many tools at the disposal of the US Treasury Dept which can and might be employed to isolate, defund and utterly diminish the Muslim Brotherhood’s expanding control across the globe.  I still find it interesting and informing that these steps are not being deployed more closely to the American homeland, but with the targeting of some of its elements in the UK, it gives us hope that these tools may someday be used to free America from the same source of infection of terror based vehicles and personalities as are being targeted in the UK.  Interestingly, I am still waiting to see what actions by the US will come following the revelations of the shift changing efforts of the Jordanian govt to shield its Muslim Brotherhood allies by urging them to simply change their name as a means of evading legal repercussions.  Dealing with the menace of the Muslim Brotherhood and their allies in the Middle East will help stabilize the region, but dealing with the menace of the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies in America will stabilize the world.   Ignoring the nidus of this infection in either arena will have devastating consequences. So, in so far as these actions go, this current report is both very welcome and very encouraging, but taken alone it only demonstrates both the need and ability to target the forces of terror which lie at the source of Muslim terrorism in the Middle East and its growing influence which is actually better sourced to its connections to the halls of power in the West, and particularly in America.  Financial and legal targeting of the Brotherhood at home and abroad is how America saves itself and promotes peace around the world.  Failing to do so, however, will see the seeds of corruption grow deeper roots in the West as Jihad continues to infest and control the world’s only superpower, causing it to collapse under the weight of this corruption.  Which fate will America choose?

Peloni: Gaza is Jewish land, by history, war and international law.  The 2005 Expulsion from Gaza was a crime against the Jewish people, not unrelated to the crime of empowering the Arabs over the most precious site in all of Judaism by Dayan in 1967.  These acts of self-betrayal have come to oversee the creation of theseeds of slaughter which have continued to grow into fruition in both the terror wars between wars, as well as actual wars themselves.  The resulting preference of creating frozen conflicts from thin air is neither a healthy nor a sustainable mission.  When the victors cede the fruits of victory to their defeated enemies they make a mockery of the mortal costs which were spent in achieving that victory.  These lands are our land. We need to recognize this fact, and credit the same international binding charters which also recognize nations as far away as Europe, but also that den of deception and duplicity known today as Jordan.  The recognition of the reconstitution of the State of Israel was the same mandate from which the recognition of the creation of the state of Jordan (originally Transjordan) was created.  The League of Nations for the Mandate of Palestine was adopted by the League of Nations in 1922, confirmed by the US govt in 1924, and affirmed by the United Nations in 1945.  These are facts which need to be referenced by Israel’s leadership, as Sha’i ben-Tekoa notes, in every speech, every press conference, and every interview they hold.  Til such time as we accept that our own rights are legitimate and make clear the international basis upon which these rights stand, the narrative wars will continue and the butcher’s bill for such an act of self-betrayal as was adopted by Sharon and Dayan will continue to grow as well.

UPDATE: A second Israeli fatality has been announced in this terror attack  near Havat Gilad.  The fatalities in this attack were Benayahu Melet, of blessed memory, and Maj. Yuval Ezra, 27, from Herzliya.

Peloni:  Speculation is being raised online that the cause of this attack was due to fears of being arrested by the armed security forces if they had opened fire to disperse the Arab mob.  This, in turn, led to the security team having to confront the terrorists directly which is when the Arab mob disarmed the security officer and was then able to carry out the terror attack.

Civilian and soldier were wounded in separate attacks earlier Thursday
