William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason.

Propriety dictates that I should congratulate Mr. Mamdani, now Mayor elect Mamdani, for his recent strong electoral victory. Sorry, I cannot bring myself to do any such thing. The man is a Communist despite his protestations to the contrary. And they, as far as I am concerned, are worse than Nazis. According to most historians, Hitler killed only 11 million people; 6 million Jews and 5 million Romany, homosexuals and other non-Aryans. In contrast, Stalin gets “credit” for 20 million, and Mao for an astounding 60 million.
The website of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), which is an arm of the Qatari regime that disseminates an extremist Islamist and anti-Western ideology,[1] recently posted an article titled “Is The End in Sight??”, by IUMS member Bouguerra Soltani, formerly the head of Mujtama’ Al-Silm, the Algerian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Written against the backdrop of the Gaza war, the article states that the Jews are “the enemies of liberty and world peace” and have failed to learn a lesson from the Holocaust.
Peloni: Having good security is important, but so too is exercising the right of self defense til security or authorities arrive, at least in those jurisdictions in which such a thing as armed self defense is allowed. Notably, among thousands of attendees with police present, no meaningful resistance was provided for a prolonged period of time, safe the unarmed Maronite Christian who was himself shot while disarming one of the terrorists. Importantly, the death toll just rose to 16, and it is likely going to go higher. Had any one of the thousands of pedestrians been armed at this Hannukah festival, how many of these dead might have been saved. Unfortunately, it was in Australia, where apparently only the terrorists carry weapons. Well trained, disciplined, and armed citizens is the best early protection system available. It has the distinct benefit of potentially saving many many lives, and simultaneously acts as a distinct deterrent, even to terrorists who want to kill many people before they are themselves neutralized.
Communities need to help assure the security of holy places
The horrible events on Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia on December 14th, where 12 were killed and 29 wounded, by at least two gunmen, illustrates the level of threat to the Jewish community in Australia and globally.
A friend of ours, Arsem Ostrovsky, a hero in the fight against antisemitism, was seriously wounded on the beach where the local Chabad community was hosting the event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah (the Festival of Lights).

US President Donald Trump may believe that selling F-35 stealth warplanes to Turkey will help the country forge closer ties with the US at the expense of Russia. The reality, though, is that by providing such sophisticated fighter jets to a country that supports Hamas terrorists — and whose president recently said that “Israel will have no choice but to kneel in front of Turkey” — Trump is merely stoking the flames of a future war aimed at destroying Israel.
Peloni: This is an important video. Mansur Ashkar, an Israeli Druze journalist, exposes the subterfuge being presented in pretending that the attack on the US did not come from within the power echelon of the Syrian govt. Reports of subsequent attacks on the Syrian govt can not explain away the connection between the assailant who shot 6 Americans while found repeatedly photographed in the company and surrounding entourage of the US adopted Syria president.
During a Hanukkah celebration attended by approximately 2,000 members of Sydney’s Jewish community at Bondi Beach, Australia, two armed terrorists opened fire on the crowd, resulting in multiple casualties. Eyewitnesses reported hearing shouts of “Allah Akbar” during the assault, though this has yet to be confirmed. Disturbing footage and reports indicate that police were initially unable to confront the gunmen, as officers on the scene were unarmed, something which has sparked public criticism.
One courageous unarmed onlooker was seen tackling one of the shooters and successfully disarmed while being captured on video. The other attacker was reportedly killed.
The latest reports indicate that 10 victims in total have been killed, and that 11 others were injured, including two police officers.
Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar has made a statement condemning the Australian govt for the incitement and growing antisemitism which we have all witnessed building over the past two years. For my own thoughts, FM Sa’ar is being far too restrictive in his condemnation of those who gave rise to the growth, toleration, and support of the managed campaign of Jew Hatred which spread across the globe beginning with the occasion of the Simchat Torah Massacre and Jew Ransoming which took place on October 7. Will this new Jewish Bloodletting on the First Night of Hannukah at Bondi Beach bring with it a renewed sense of zeal and passion for the demonization, and delegitimization and double standards for the world’s Jewry? We have many enemies, whose immense wealth has come to attract the most powerful men in the world, among whom, too many have willfully played a role in the aftermath of October 7, culminating in the slaughter on Bondi Beach.
Praying for all those at Bondi Beach which was hosting a Jewish event for the first night of Hanukkah. Enough. ? ?? ?? pic.twitter.com/9942NDLi8s
Removing Gaza debris estimated to take up to 7 years, billions of dollars

Israel has agreed to a request from the United States to take over responsibility for clearing the vast amount of rubble covering the Gaza Strip after two years of fighting, Ynet News reported, citing a senior Israeli official.
Peloni: It seems that it has been judged by the US that the assailant who killed three Americans and wounding another three was actually acting against the Syrian govt. Interestingly, the Syrian govt apparently knew the terrorist harbored Islamist ideologies, yet it was somehow inexplicably deemed that neutralizing such an impending threat could simply wait until after the weekend. The assumption by the US that this is merely a case of gross incompetence on the part of America’s newly minted ally in Syria, however, fails to explain or even consider the importance of Jolani’s recent comments describing America as the true terrorist in the region. Coming from a presumably ‘reformed’ terrorist, these words by themselves should be understood to be, not just alarming, but also revealing as to Jolani’s current frame of mind, if nothing else. The fact that these words came just hours before a member of Jolani’s armed forces gunned down a half dozen Americans would seem highly relevant, yet not so relevant as to have Trump change his continued reverence for Jolani, which has previously withstood the test of Jolani’s armed forces having carried out repeated acts of slaughter against Syrian minorities over the past six months.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that “two U.S. service members and one U.S. civilian were killed, and three service members were injured, as a result of an ambush by a lone ISIS [Islamic State] gunman in Syria” on December 13 in the area of Palmyra in Syria’s Homs Governorate. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the attacker was a member of the Syrian security forces. A Syrian official confirmed this status and stated that the attacker had been “under investigation” for “extremist ideas” while denying that he held a leadership position in the security forces.
Peloni: Who are the ‘Hilltop Youth’? What is their purpose? How are they preventing another October 7? Please listen to Shmuel Sacket, founder and director of the Am Yisrael Chai Foundation, as he answers these and other questions about a movement which is badly misrepresented and uniquely defending the survival of Israel. The battle for Eretz Israel is an ongoing struggle, and those who form the frontline of this battle should be understood, embraced and supported.
Peloni: Don’t miss Laura Loomer’s highly relevant comments at the bottom reflecting upon the tragedy of US support for Julani, the Jihadi in a suit, who just days before this attack described Americans as the true terrorists while speaking in Doha, the capital of Qatar which finances terrorism around the world.
? JUST IN – SYRIA: "We've just received word from the Pentagon that 2 American soldiers have been killed, one civilian American interpreter killed, and 3 others wounded."
They were supporting counter-ISIS operations in the region.
Peloni: What goes unspoken in this article is the impossibility which faces the colonialist Hashemite regime. Not only is it their policy to radicalize their people against Israel, but that policy is entirely tied to the Hashemite’s regime’s own survival. As the most recent member of a line of usurping overlords, Abdullah has greater interest in seeing to it that the Jordanian people remain fixated on their hatred of their Israeli neighbors. By doing so he prevents attention being focused on the domestic subjugation of the Jordanians by an illegitimate monarch, who has little affection for his people and has over the years gained himself no respect in return. In this light, it becomes clear why Abdullah’s wife began the latest of her outrageous blood libels against Israel just 3 days before October 7, curiously enough, and has since attempted to deny the well documented mass sexual assaults which took place that day, later describing these acts of savagery and barbarism as resistance instead of the horrors which they certainly were. What is more, the continued support for radicalism in Jordan likewise persists towards this purpose of spreading and maintaining radicalism among the Jordanian people so as to keep their coordination with the monarchy in place. Radicalism and Jew Hatred are a key policy solution to Abdullah’s domestic difficulties, making it near impossible for him to resist the attempt to rile the Jordanian masses on any point possible against Israel, including the Border Fence which is intended to keep the Jew Hating Muslim Brotherhood proponents out of Israel.
