Peloni:  All nations should move to protect themselves from foreign interlocutors disguised in the form of NGOs.  They can have a meaningful and detrimental effect, and as Janet Levy describes below, China has had a long and successful history of pursuing such malicious outreach into the West.

China has seeded the West with thousands of agents pushing propaganda, engaging in espionage, fomenting protests, and silencing domestic dissent.

In 2023, the FBI arrested two Chinese-Americans, Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping, for operating a Chinese police station in Manhattan. Chen pleaded guilty and faces up to five years in prison for acting as a Chinese agent, while Lu, who has connections to Chinese authorities, pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. He faces 20 years for obstruction of justice.

Peloni:  America has ALWAYS had the ability to bring the likes of Nafez Sabih and Bassam Issa to justice, just as they have always had the ability to bring Ahlam Tamimi to justice for her role in the Sbarro Pizza bombing in which two other Americans were killed, Malka Chana Roth, a 15-year-old, and Judith Shoshana Greenbaum, a pregnant 31-year-old teacher.  Of course, the facetious claim put forward by Dennis Ross is not sincere, which is why there will never be justice for the likes of these American victims whose murderers remain in a state of constant protection by governments and authorities which are directly funded by the US taxpayers.

by Rafael Medoff

Thirty years ago this week, Palestinian Arab terrorists bombed a bus on Jaffa Road, in downtown Jerusalem. Twenty-six passengers were murdered.

Among the victims were U.S. citizens Sara Duker, of New Jersey, and Matthew Eisenfeld, of Connecticut, students at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America who were engaged to be married.

Peloni:  Time is not on Israel’s side, and it never was.  As the clock ticks by Hamas has become stronger, better equipped, further entrenched and better secured within its position of dominance over the people of Gaza.

On paper, billions of dollars have been pledged for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, and a multinational force is in the process of being formed. But it remains doubtful that any of it will come to fruition, since the key to everything has always been, and remains, the disarmament of Hamas.

Peloni:  An important question related to Ankara’s ever increasing regional ego is why the US has acted to significantly promote Turkey’s position in the region, even as its already stated and partially realized goal is to reconquer the region, including US regional allies.

Ankara feels that from the Horn of Africa to the Eastern Mediterranean and Syria and Iraq it has increased its influence greatly in the last years.

In 2019 Turkey took delivery of an S-400 air defense system from Russia. This was the culmination of a deal dating from 2017. It also marked Ankara’s shift in strategy from being a NATO member to hedging its bets by working with Russia. A pipeline across the Black Sea to Russia, called TurkStream was completed in 2020.

Islamification Process Of Da’wa and Its Constitutional and Social Implications

By Wm Gawthrop, Ph.D.

Islam is a challenger civilization. The Islamic worldview divides the world into the House of War and the House of Islam (dar al-harb and dar al-Islam) and a state of war, not peace, perpetually exists between Islam and unbelievers^{i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi,vii,viii,ix,x,xi,xii,xiii}. The purpose of waging war is “one of two things: it is either for (the non-Muslims) conversion to Islam or the payment of the jizya.”^{xiv,xv,xvi,xvii,xviii,xix} Dawa and jihad become the tools for advancing the ideology toward its defined goals.^xx Jihad can be violent. Dawa is seduction. Dawa will use Jihad if the seduction is resisted.

Dawa is the conversion tool; a form of missionary work, and an Islamic strategy for reshaping the modern world.

Peloni:  The support of quiet Jihad in Britain persists and is growing ever deeper, in England, in France, in Germany and in the US.  As the tolerance for such things as blasphemy laws and Sharia law, and Islamic courts become law of the land, sovereignty over the people is being co-opted, transferred and permanently transformed into that of captured people.  And of course, this is the very purpose and goal of Jihad, ie CONQEST…

Paul Schnee: Can the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) explain why hundreds of people on British streets shouting, “Globalize the Intifada” and “From the River to the Sea!” should not be arrested and prosecuted for contributing to possible “public disorder”?

An ongoing controversy in Britain could do nothing less than change the course of that country’s history, and that of the entire world. It may be too late as it is; the U.K. has already taken a decisive step away from the principles of free speech that it played a dominant role in formulating and giving to the world. There is serious cause for doubt now about whether the Sceptered Isle will even survive as a free society.

Peloni:  Are the American people simply looking for transparency and no accountability?  I doubt it.  Not a single conviction, not a single prosecution and not a single conviction.  And Trump’s response is to release the UFO files?  Many delays, many disappointments, and many question abound over the hesitancy to expose the criminal behavior behind the many topics, only some of which are cited by Benz below.

Peloni:  Notably, PM Netanyahu recently stated that only 150km out of about 500km tunnels in Gaza had been destroyed, and as Christine Douglass-Williams explains the overall number of tunnels is increasing.  This mission is very very far from complete.

It’s obvious that powerful players are supporting Hamas; otherwise, it would not be able to rebuild its jihad terror tunnels so quickly in the face of sophisticated IDF efforts to dismantle them. So here’s the breakdown by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies:

When U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Tucker Carlson last Friday that it would be “fine” if Israel “took it all” — referring to the vast biblical territory stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates — the Arab world erupted. Saudi Arabia called it “extremist rhetoric.” Egypt termed it a “blatant violation of international law.” The League of Arab States accused him of inflaming religious and national sentiments.

Update:  Iran’s IRGC reportedly assumes command of Hezbollah as threat of US strike grows

Peloni:  Under the reign of the Mullahs, Iran has acted like a plague spreading terror and mayhem across the entire Middle East, but perhaps nowhere were its effects so damaging and so permanent as in Lebanon where a majority Christian nation with an accepted Shia minority community was ethnically cleansed into a Shia majority nation with an oppressed Christian minority community.  While people speak of the the threat of ethnic cleansing of Christians in Africa which is taking place today, and of ethnic cleansing of Christians by Israel which stands as an outright blood libel, they all easily ignore the transformation which came to persist in Lebanon as the Iranian controlled Hezbollah dominated, terrorized and transformed that nation.  So long as the Mullahs remain in Iran, their despotic and menacing influence will remain in Lebanon, threatening and reducing the Christian community there, as is the practice of their Jihadi ethos.

Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki highlights Jared Kushner’s presentation at the Board of Peace which can only be described as being completely unrelated to any factual representation of Gaza today.  Wolicki discusses the six polls which have been conducted in Gaza since October 7, 2023 and the unabashed support demonstrated by the Gazans in these polls for both Hamas and its terrorist allies in the region.  The first step to deradicalizing the people in Gaza is to conquer them, to defeat their leaders, to subjugate them under an occupying force which will eliminate and outlaw the very ideology which is still governing over them as Kushner continues to present articulate utopian descriptions of the financial windfalls which do not impress the radicals in Gaza.  At a minimum, the Hamas leadership must be tried for war crimes with sentences appropriate for the horrors which they coordinated and conducted so as to demonstrate the intolerance for the barbaric behavior which was carried out not only by Hamas but by thousands of the citizenry of Gaza.  Instead, the Board of Peace has plans for no defeat of Hamas, no trials for even the leadership, and instead is trying to decide how many arms should be left in the hands of these terrorists and in what position of power and authority the terrorists should be allowed to play in Kushner’s vision for Gaza.  The lack of responsibility forming around this multi-billion dollar makeover for Gaza speaks ill of both the internationalists financing it and the ‘Peace Envoys’ who have crossed every Red Line established in what was the already dangerous proposal of their now ignored 20 Point Plan.

Peloni:  It is important to note in Conrad Black’s article below, the division of the land between the two competing factions which he describes was in fact carried out by the British, even as they lacked the specific authority to do so, at the Cairo Conference of 1921 when they created the Emirate of Transjordan for exactly this purpose with the Jordan River as the border between the two territories.  Additionally, the reason the Emirate of Transjordan, later to become the state of Transjordan as recognized in 1946, was named ‘Transjordan’ was specifically in reference to the boundary of that nation being the Jordan River, ie trans Jordan referenced the region on the far side of the Jordan river, as opposed to cis Jordan region (the near side of the Jordan River) which was appropriated for the Jewish homeland.  This division was adopted by the League of Nations as the Two State Solution which has since been attempted over and over again under the same sense of duplicity and historical revisionism which led the state of Transjordan reinventing its name as Jordan in 1950 to try to erase the fact that its border had been set at the Jordan River.

The argument that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state is unspeakable nonsense

There were two events in Canada last week which may, viewed optimistically, constitute a turning point in the shameful and distressing flirtation that this country is having with antisemitism. There is widespread anecdotal evidence of discrimination against Jewish applicants for many categories of work and entry to exclusive professional occupations, including doctors and teachers. Antisemitic incidents are far more numerous than the police can make any pretense to respond to and include unprecedented levels of violence, car theft, and petty harassment such as ripping Mezuzahs off door-frames. The two incidents included the turnout of over 350,000 people, mainly Muslims, in Toronto to demand regime change in Iran.
