Recently, a long time friend sent me an October 20215 article about a potential game changer. the discovery of large oil reserves on the Golan Heights in Israel.

A few geographical problems in the world are so magnificently overworked as the one called the “West Bank.”
Every week, the international community assembles to discuss it. The United Nations discusses it. European governments discuss it. Human-rights organizations discuss it. Newspapers discuss it. Diplomats discuss it. The Vatican, which one might reasonably expect to remember the Bible, discusses it.
As a new school year begins, thousands of children will enter Canada’s national human rights museum and encounter a politically constructed narrative that presents Palestinian displacement as an ongoing Israeli crime while withholding essential history.

WINNIPEG, CANADA | The school buses will soon begin arriving.
Teachers will organize their classes. Students will walk through the doors of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. They will be told they are entering a trusted national institution dedicated to truth, understanding and respect.
From LA to Washington and Sydney, an ominous pattern of violent Jew-hate emerges.

Last December, masked anti-Israel activists mobbed Wilshire Boulevard Temple, the oldest Jewish synagogue in Los Angeles, hurling antisemitic slurs at guests and branding them “genocidal monsters.” Within two weeks, the FBI arrested four members of the group that promoted the assault. The self-styled “Turtle Island Liberation Front” now faces federal terrorism-related charges for allegedly plotting to set off pipe bombs at five sites across Southern California on New Year’s Eve. The alleged ringleader, Audrey Carroll, called herself “a Hamas fangirl.”
The decisive question is why one society’s political, religious and media institutions repeatedly provide a ready-made target, a heroic script and communal validation for those who commit terror.
On August 23, a 16-year-old Palestinian Arab approached Elchanan Hanania from behind near the village of al-Auja in the Jordan Valley and stabbed him repeatedly. Hanania, a 24-year-old career soldier, was traveling to Tiberias with his pregnant wife, two young daughters and father-in-law to celebrate his wedding anniversary. His family watched from the car as he fought off his attacker. The assailant fled and was captured by Israeli forces later that day.
Peloni: What I find particularly disturbing in all of these matters related to the perpetrators of October 7 being exposed while in the pay of US and other govts is that, as is shown here, the perpetrators are simply considered for “ suspension and/or debarment action.” The actions indicated are terrorist attacks, the wanton rape, murder, dismemberment or kidnapping of individuals, some of whom included American citizens. So, while ending the employment of terrorists is clearly indicated, why is there no action being taken to prosecute them, or to process them for extradition to Israel for prosecution? If the individuals are guilty of such grossly criminal actions deeming termination by the State Dept, why stop at simply ending their employment?

USAID OIG | Aug 26, 2026
INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY:
USAID OIG, a statutorily independent law enforcement and oversight entity, continues to investigate UNRWA staff linked to Hamas and other U.S. designated terrorist organizations. As part of this ongoing investigation, USAID OIG has referred over 100 current or former UNRWA staff for participation in the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel and/or affiliation with Hamas to the U.S. Department of State for independent review of the evidence and consideration of suspension and/or debarment action. Of those referred, three have recently been proposed for debarment by the Department.
Peloni: It is always important when being openly abused by our enemies and their useful idiots to stand our ground and never allow these actions meant to isolate and ostracize us to go unaddressed. Instead, as Yohay Sponder relates, we must demand the respect which useful the Jew Haters and their useful idiots fail to pay us. So as Sponder explains, we should let them pay in other ways, allowing them to learn what they failed to grasp otherwise, ie that there are consequences to subscribing to Jew Hatred or succumbing to hate mail. We are owed the dignity which they would otherwise deny us, and consequently, this is an important way to teach at least the useful idiots the costs of being so badly informed and so shamefully callow. So be it.

Peloni: There is justice for one of the greatest crimes having been committed against the soldiers of the IDF, but rather, there are millions of shekels as a reward for having done so. Some things are too disturbing to believe possible, and yet, here we are…

The IDF Chief of Staff just decided to give 1 million NIS to a senior IDF official who deserves to be in jail for the rest of her life.
I have been writing about this from the moment it broke.
Peloni: How ironic that with only 4 primaries left in the Democratic party, the Democratic leadership is crawling from its hole where it sat silent while the DSA was gaining ground across the country and throughout the party. While some might suggest that it is better late than never, it is important to counter with the reality that this should be understood to be merely part of the normal political process in which, with the primaries behind them, the Dems are now running towards the political center, hoping to salvage the support of the independent voters to help the already chosen candidates win in the general election. Indeed, change within the Democratic party, if it is truly coming, will not be seen in this political season, as the candidates for that radicalized institution have already been chosen.

For months, much of the Democratic Party seemed determined to look the other way when it came to Hasan Piker. Not anymore. He can’t avoid the spotlight now.
Peloni: Oy gevalt! There is truly no borderline within the Democratic party which will not be broken in preference of maintaining faith between the allegiance of the Red-Green Alliance. America must show these reprobates the political cold shoulder which they have so righteously earned, and should this fail to be the consequence for such brazen advocacy of Jew Hatred, misogyny and anti-Americanism, the world will come to be a far darker, more tragic and less vibrant place than has been the case over what has come to be known as the American century. The future is on the line in the coming election in America, and while this is always true of every election everywhere, the coming American election in particular carries with it decisions pregnant with the legitimization of targeting of whole swaths of American society.

There are sentences one expects to hear in a United States Senate campaign.
And then there are sentences that, until Monday night, had probably never been uttered during one.
Peloni: I would suggest that Sa’ar next do the same to England, but it seems that this is already under consideration due to their outrageous demand for the E1 building project to be set aside. Likewise, Israel should send all Europeans home who share in these outrageous diplomatic catcalls and sanctions threats in support of preserving the creation of a second Palestinian state.

Israel on Tuesday instructed Dutch officials to leave the U.S.-backed Gaza Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in the Israeli city of Kiryat Gat, citing what Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar described as “anti-Israel” measures by the Dutch government.

Peloni: As is true with the sanctions on Iran, the sanctions placed on the Palestine Action must be airtight, preventing countering sanctions strategies by the organization. Otherwise, as has been true with Iran over the years, the use of sanctions simply limits the financial capabilities rather than eliminating those capabilities. Economic D-Day should serve as a clarification of what sanctioning by the US Treasury should mean, but not just for the Iranian regime.

Israel announces it was going to build 1,400 homes for Jews in the tribal land of Benjamin, creating a new suburb of the Holy City of Jerusalem that the Israelis brought back to life, toward a total of 3,412 new homes for Jewish families, and the goyim get hysterical.

Lara Trump put the question plainly: “Regime change has never been the goal, though. It’s been denuclearization. Can you have one without the other?”
