What’s Missing Is Moral Clarity  

Peloni:  Vance had an incredible opportunity to end this issue or at least to stop making it all the more difficult to end when he went to the RJC, and in fact, it is hard to argue that he didn’t take full advantage of that moment to clarify his position, even as his position might not be one which many hoped to hear.  I believe it was Mark Levin who noted that it isn’t hard to say I oppose Islamic Jihadism and Jew Hatred in all its forms and all those who sponsor or advocate such things.  Instead, Vance attempted to offer the world a nuanced look at how friendship might trump the evil that friends support, when in fact the acceptance of evil is not a nuanced position.

For a quick refresher on Vance’s past alarming remarks see HERE.  Also take note of the the following article.

Little Things Mean a Lot  

Peloni:  The article below by Rabbi Barbara Aiello is a telling reproach of the world as Jew Hatred is being celebrated, normalized and weaponized at a very personal level.  The shame of the revival of Jew Hatred among Western nations is most pronounced in Europe and Canada, but it is making its way throughout the Western world.  As political leadership cowers in subjugation to the growing masses of Muslim voters in not opposing this, they are complicit in the subjugation of their entire population, Jew and Gentile alike, to the Jihad focused  on the Western world.

Little Things Mean a Lot

Some of us might remember a popular song from the 1950’s, “Little Things Mean a Lot.” It was sung by Kitty Kallen aka Katie Kalinsky, daughter of Russian immigrants, and in 1954 it topped the charts as Kitty sang about how tiny little behaviors are more significant than one might think. Kitty sings, “ Blow me a kiss from across the room, Touch my hair as you pass my chair. Little things mean a lot.”

How Mark Ruffalo Swapped The Avengers For Antisemitism  

When actors like Ruffalo are allowed to make their own speech decisions, they do dumb and cruel things.

Bonnie Glick | September 2, 2026

Mark Ruffalo needs to spend more time as a nonverbal, big green Hulk with no time in actual speaking roles. When the Hollywood actor opens his mouth these days, his script is full of lines that were written for him by bitter, hate-fueled Hollywood miscreants. His bile-filled screeds against Jewish leaders in Hollywood and the tech industry have been expanded to link conspiracy theories as old as time to the reason he’s not getting hired these days.

As I was writing my Substack for the 25th commemoration of the September 11 attacks, I came across a document that was impossible to unsee and far too extensive to cover in a single article. So over the next two weeks, I will bring you everything I found in four parts. CAIR has officially finished testing its school-infiltration model in New Jersey. Now it is taking that model nationwide.

From Israel: A Moment to Breathe!!

The posting I sent last, which catalogued obscene and vile lessons taught in PA schools after October 7, as well as solid evidence of the dangerous military build-up of the PA, was indeed enough to make one’s blood run cold. This is information everyone certainly needs to have. Nor is what I have already written the end of the story. There is a good deal more I want to address.

Nothing Spontaneous About Anti-Israel Protests  

Terror Links, Foreign Funding and Highly Coordinated Activism

by Robert Williams  •  Gatestone Institute  •  September 2, 2026

  • “Today’s anti-Western influence networks are global, coordinated, top-down, well-funded and sanitised. Viewed graphically, they resemble a series of concentric circles. At their centre sit hostile state actors (Iran, China, Russia, Qatar), terrorist organisations (Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda), and extremist religious-political movements (Muslim Brotherhood).

“It is time to admit it: Gandhi was right.”  

Peloni:  Every plan can be improved upon, and Avi Abelow offers his insights on how Ben Gvir’s Disengagement 710 plan might be changed for the better.  Unfortunately, it must be noted that US influence over Egypt failed to even push Egypt to withdraw their military forces from the Sinai, and rather than US pressure being applied to Sisi to do so, US pressure was instead applied to Bibi to let the Israeli-Egypt gas deal go thru without any concession from Sisi at all.  And the problem of Trump’s 20 Point Plan being watered down to the Egypt-brokered, pro-Hamas version of the 15 point roadmap remains in place, for the moment.  While it is highly likely that this version will ultimately fail as well, when it does, will Trump be open to reconsidering an emigration plan for Gaza, be it that of Trump, Ben-Gvir or Abelow?

My Grandfather Fought America’s Nazis Before America Did  

Abraham Levy risked his livelihood and his life confronting the German American Bund while American authorities and much of the Jewish establishment remained reluctant to act.

By David Bedein | TheJ.ca | Aug 31, 2026

I recently watched a documentary about the campaign to oppose the German American Bund rally held at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 20, 1939.

The film brought back memories of my grandfather, Abraham Levy, and the price he paid for confronting America’s Nazi movement before the United States government was prepared to act.

US Sanctions Can’t Force Moderation in Iran  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | September 3, 2026

*The assumption that “D-Day” like economic sanctions can force the collapse – or a dramatic moderation – of the Ayatollah regime, overlooks the centrality of theological fanaticism in the shaping of the Ayatollah’s vision, strategy, policy and education system, as well as its 47-year-war on the US. The Ayatollah’s war against the USA has been conducted – unrelated to Israel’s existence – in the Middle East, Latin America and on US soil.

Blame?

Quite a few years ago, I co-wrote a book about the serial murderer on Long Island, Joel Rifkin, who savagely murdered 17 young women without an ounce of remorse––earning him the grim distinction of being the most prolific serial killer in New York’s history.

“Expel Two Million.” Eighteen Months. Zero Flights.  

Peloni: The failure to see the gates of Gaza opened, even as the US is taking on the new controlling authority there as Trump personally heads the Board of Peace, portrays a serious implication for the future.  Regardless of whether the number of people wanting to leave Gaza is 80% or merely 8%, it remains intolerable that the US would not facilitate the movement of these people outside of a city sized war zone.   As the world’s super power stand as the gatekeeper on not only holding the Gazans in place but also seeing that Hamas stands ever more entrenched over them, one might honestly ask exactly what excuse might support doing so which does not place the US in a very bad light.  As the sentiments out of Washington are routinely echoing false narratives on behalf of suffering Gazans, why might Washington prefer to hold the Gazans in this Gaza sized cage with a Hamas sized taskmaster, even as there are nations which would accept.

The Islamic Republic’s Illusion of Power – The Meridian  

Peloni:  Zineb Riboua makes an important case arguing that the IRGC is facing a choice of what sacrifices it must make to survive, and how far it might be capable of stretching its resources to maintain the fascade of strength as the effects of Economic D-Day increasingly mount by the day.  Keep in mind that the US midterms are just two months away, and the balance of power in the US Congress between allies of Trump and those of Iran will be decided in that coming contest.  To be certain Iran is keeping this in mind, and yet, all the same, two months would seem to be an eternity when the value of Iranian currency dropped about 10% in just one week.

Iran’s Strength Was Always Conditional

or months, I have made the same argument: the IRGC is weak and will lose. The numbers have taken longer to surface than the strategic reality, but they are now increasingly difficult to dismiss. More interesting is why recognition took so long. Part of the answer lies in the effectiveness of the Islamic Republic’s propaganda. Another part lies in assumptions about Iran and the Middle East that have remained remarkably resistant to evidence.
