There have not been many IDF casualties lately in Gaza or in Lebanon. This week, tragedy struck:Is it ethical for the Mayor to use City Hall to boost his social media posts? That is – to artificially increase their reach by making his comments appear more supported than they really are?On all battlefields. and also in Lebanon, Israel walks a fine balance line for safety of it soldiers as well as for local civilians on the battlefield:
First: Why would the USA make such concessions to Iran over the Hormuz? It’s an international waterway.
Conclusion: This is a problematic open door: Iran likely will threaten to attack any ships not paying the “voluntary” fees:
A couple of weeks ago, hikers were supposed to contact the IDF for protection before hiking. They failed to do that. During the hike, Arabs in Samaria pelted them with rocks. They kept hiking. The 2nd incident against the hikers turned deadly. When the IDF arrived to provide protection, 2 soldiers and 4 Arabs wound up dead:
The investigation has completed after two weeks; some details are inconclusive:
The IDF in Lebanon strikes back at their violations of the ceasefire:
The IDF plans voting stations for the IDF soldiers deployed in Lebanon. Elections are this coming Fall:
New: the IDF now needs specific permission from the political establishment. Strikes in Gaza were controlled, focused on militants who were active in Oct 7; now the strikes are further reduced;
Board of Peace will attempt to oversee all the points including Hamas’ disarmament (a long shot).

October 2024, twelve months after Oct 7, the Knesset (120-seat parliament of Israel, the Legislative Branch) passed a law cancelling the UN from operating its UNRWA an more. It has long been known that this UN body supported terrorists who wish to destroy Israel and all Jews. Some UNRWA employees had a dual paycheck as teachers, doctors, nurses, while also paid as members of militant groups such as Islamic Jihad and Hamas.
After Oct 7, Israel’s patience ran out for these shenanigans. The law was passed no sweat.
Opponents to the law went to the High Court, but petitioners failed to show any evidence to the High Court that this legal ban caused any real harm to anyone.

1. Neither the USA nor Israel are signatories to the International Crimlnal Convocation Court (ICC); i.e. the International Convocation of Criminals:Photographed at Jerusalem Post, 30 July 2026 pgs 1&7.
This is one piece of the ICC prosecutor and his antisemitism.
2. The other part is that Karim Khan is distinctive for his lack of morals. He has recently been removed from his post due to sexual crimes. Where will he be prosecuted for those?
3. Third piece: Karim Khan lied. The population of Gaza has seen net growth every month since 2023 without missing a month. Thus, no genocide. Khan used his platform to promote a lie with zero consequence of being called out.
See: The party court prevented Bibi from skipping the primaries “due to war,” as he wanted. Remember in the USA in 2024, the Democrat party skipped the primaries for a lesser reason – thus denied their voters the right to choose their candidate. On this point, the Likud party of 2026 is more democratic than the Democrat party of 2024.

Yair Levi quit the IDF after 8 years of service, and returns to bringing worship music out from the synagogue and onto the world stage.
“…songs deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and sung in Hebrew can also connect with a Christian audience…” Ed Condran, Jerusalem Post.

Iran’s current regime–the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps)–funds and supplies the Houthis rebels in Yemen.
So when Houthis attack civilian ships in the Red Sea (a war crime), the USA will hit the head of the snake rather than the little Houthis supplied by the regime.

This is exactly the right approach.
What’s the point of hitting the Houthis when they will just relocate and continue taking orders from Iran? Hit Iran, destroy the IRGC and solve the head of the problem. Leave the Houthis with no resources, no weapons source, and no orders from their IRGC leaders.
I pray that someday the Persians will take their country back from the Islamics, the Yemenis will take their country back from the Islamics, and the Lebanese people will take their country back from the Islamics. Say Amen if you agree.
