Stories of Immigration and Absorption  

 
By Ari Bussel

Translated by Peloni

I come from a family of immigrants, half of them illegal immigrants for they broke the British Mandate over Palestine:  My mother arrived through the illegal “Aliyah Bet” immigration from Europe, from the DP (Displaced Persons) Camps after the Second World War. My father arrived to the State of Israel exactly two years after Israel’s rebirth.

My father’s father fought the Nazis in General Anders’ Polish Army, and at the end of the war found himself in Italy, from where he joined his brother in New York. The two brothers lived in Manhattan, one with his wife in Upper East Side and the other with his second wife (the first was murdered during the Holocaust) in Upper West Side, this until the end of their lives.

The underground financial system keeping Iran afloat amid war, sanctions

A man walks into a Dubai currency exchange, intending to send money to Iran. He hands over $50,000 in cash, and provides a name and a location. Hours later, the money reaches a beneficiary in Tehran. No bank processes the transfer, no wire crosses a border, and no regulator signs off, yet the system worked as intended.

In The Arab-Israeli Conflict, The One Crucial Thing ARABISM Will Always Lack Is Corroborating Evidence…  

by Gerald A. Honigman

While ARABISM is unquestionably permitted to stake claim to over six million square miles of real estate by virtue of its violent conquests of mostly non-Arab people’s ancestral homelands, the one damning thing it lacks in the Arab-Israeli conflict is legitimate corroborating evidence that its claimants were/are anything more than late coming invaders, settlers, and colonizers of another ancient historical people’s ancestral homeland, the Jews.

We love you Jerusalem  

Peloni:  Am Yisrael Chai!

The propaganda effort to disassociate Jews from Israel and Jerusalem is absurd. International Law, the Bible, Quran (5:21 and 17:104) and history recognize the rights of the Jewish People to Israel. So did President Trump.

Beginning Thursday night and all day Friday, May 15, 2026, we will be celebrating Yom Yerushalayim-Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem. This year is the 59th anniversary; but our connection to Jerusalem stretches back well over 3,000 years ago, including to the time when Biblical King David declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

VAHIDI’S CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE – HE BURNT CHINA  

Peloni:  What China needs from Iran is stability in the region so as to exercise its influence while also having free access to Iran’s cheap oil.  What China has been receiving for its vast investment in Iran has been something very far from this.

China has played Vahidi for the fool he is. Vahidi thought he was clever when he blocked the strait; he was outsmarted by Trump. The US has stopped all traffic in and out of the strait, in particular tankers with Iranian oil. As a consequence, the flow of Iran’s crude oil to China came to a halt. Vahidi lost his revenue stream; China was buying 90% of Iran’s oil at a discounted rate. Iran’s economy is in free fall; as a consequence, the currency is worthless toilet paper: 1 USD equals approximately 1.8 million Iranian Rials.

Britain’s forgotten war crimes against young Zionists  

Two stories that do much to shed light on the cruel nature of the British Mandate and the crimes committed against young Zionists are the cases of 16-year-old Alexander Rubowitz and Yaacov Eliav.

Video Loads Below

This month is the anniversary of the kidnapping of sixteen-year-old Alexander Rubowitz in Jerusalem in May 1947. While the story of Rubowitz should be a well-known one, it is one of the most notorious unsolved crimes of the British Mandate era in Israel, the truth is that far too few have ever come across the story.

‘Judea and Samaria’ for 3,000 Years, ‘West Bank’ for 19  

Peloni: The pejorative term ‘West Bank’ has been modeled around a false assertion that there is no association between these lands and either the Jewish State of Israel or the Jewish People when in fact the lands indicated by this malicious term are integral to the Jewish state, the Jewish people and their respective histories. A point which should be understood in all of this is the fact that prior to the Hashemite Kingdom having illegally seized the lands in Judea and Samaria during its illegal invasion in the 1948 War of Independence, what is now termed as “the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” was actually known as ” the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan”.  Notably, it was only due to the illicit Hashemite conquest of the lands of Judea and Samaria from Israel which forced the Hashemites to rename their kingdom from “Transjordan” to “Jordan”.  The motivation for this renaming the entire country was hinged upon the truth which was revealed each time the “Kingdom of Transjordan” was spoken.  Indeed, the word Transjordan was taken from a long recognized cartographic description exclusively referencing the region of land on the far side, trans Jordan, ie East side of the Jordan river.  Hence, the name of the country Transjordan was evidence of both the fact that the Hashemites had no claim to the lands of Judea and Samaria, as well as the fabricated nature of renaming these conquered lands as the “West Bank”.  So apparent was the false connection between Jordan and its ill-gotten gains during the 1948 War that nearly no one on the international field recognized Jordan’s use of the term ‘West Bank’.  That is, until Israel liberated the indigenous lands of its forefathers in 1967, and a manufactured campaign was launched to imply that these lands held no connection to the Jews or the state of Israel, when the opposite was actually true going back three millennia.  So, as Hugh Fitzgerald explains below, these lands were ‘Judea and Samaria’ for 3,000 Years, but ‘West Bank’ for 19.

Haredi party leaders call for dissolving Knesset & early elections over lack of IDF draft law  

Update 2:  Coalition submits bill to dissolve Knesset and trigger elections within 5 months

Update: Likud attempts to control the terms of the dissolution of the govt.

Peloni:  The consequences of these developments have been threatening the stability of the Netanyahu govt since its formation, and can in fact presage serious reshaping of the political spectrum.  One thing is certain, though, the Left will pay the price which the Haredi parties are demanding so as to retake power, even if the Right wing govt does not.  Herein lies the truth of all this.

PM Netanyahu said to favor regular elections set to take place at the end of October
