Peloni:  This has been discussed for some time now.  Still the revealing and frank confession here is a jarring indictment, and as Gadi explains, it is quite in keeping with the mindset which led to the stand down preceding and causing the October 7 slaughter.

Investigative journalist @AyalaHasson exposed this conversation between the head of the Jewish Department of Shin Bet, and the chief of Judea and Samaria police (here with English subtitles).

Peloni:  The educational centers which are not complying with Federal regulations should be prosecuted to the full limit of the law.  What Northwestern has demonstrated is that it only takes a will to comply with the law to actually not violate it.   Consequently, non-compliance with these legal norms should not be  a point of discussion, they need no examples of how to comply with the law, and those institutions which have failed America and their students so badly over the past years by harboring, advocating, and supporting terror and antisemitism should be shown the scorn of both federal subsidies and student attendance.  The only credibility of these pro-terror institutions is to be found in their history of successfully having guided the leaders of tomorrow.  Their gross failure in these past years to credibly recognize the abject evil which they promoted demonstrates that this credibility has been irreparably undone.  Shutter them all and prosecute those who are responsible and those who complied with such promotions of terror.

Not all universities have been as lackadaisical or uncaring as Columbia and Harvard in fighting antisemitism on their campuses. Northwestern University President Michael Schill appeared before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce for a hearing on antisemitism almost a year ago. This was the same committee that heard the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. Now, the university released a report in late March describing a decrease in antisemitic incidents.

The Lebanese Al Jadeed reported that Ortagus issued an ultimatum to Lebanon to implement all clauses of the ceasefire agreement, including the disarmament of Hezbollah. This is reportedly Lebanon's last opportunity to implement its commitments before "significant escalation". https://t.co/zz9GUsTNgm

• Terrorist Eliminated: Israel announced on April 4 that it had eliminated Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Awad, a senior terrorist in the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement terror organization that is sometimes referred to as the “Mujahideen Brigades.” Awad “commanded the kidnappings of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas,” during the October 7, 2023, atrocities and was “likely personally involved” in their murders. Awad also was responsible for the kidnappings of American citizens Gad Haggai and Judi Weinstein, along with numerous Thai citizens.

An undercurrent of extremist Islam exists within Australia’s Middle Eastern community. Anti-Semitic acts have become common in Australia, with more than 2,000 incidents in 2024 alone. They included 65 physical assaults and 600 cases of verbal abuse.

• The apparent normalization of jihadist-Islamist radicals, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, became frighteningly real when a video revealed that two Muslim immigrant nurses working in a Sydney hospital boasted that one of them had “killed Israeli patients” and the other had sworn to “let them die.”

Liberal groups can’t be counted on to defend Jews.

After Oct 7, the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt course corrected away from his previous appeasement of the anti-Israel Left. And while there were still plenty of things wrong with the liberal group, Greenblatt told the DEI people brought into the ADL that if they were anti-Israel, they could leave.

Peloni:  The international use of terrorist propaganda to leverage against the attacked nation of Israel was never performed in good faith, not by any person, organization or state which employed such obviously manipulated rhetoric to advantage the butchers of October 7 and to discredit the more than balanced response to that slaughter.

Drawing of the symbol for the Gaza Health Ministry by AI 

According to the independent analysis group Honest Reporting, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry recently updated its casualty list, quietly removing thousands of names without explanation. Notably, the revised list also dropped over a thousand children listed, sharply altering the previously reported demographic ratios that had been quickly seized upon by critics of Israeli military operations.

King Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The sun rises, and the sun goes down… all streams run to the sea… what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Peloni:  As is true with most of what Trump has done since winning the election last November, China seems to be the underlying focus of much of Trumps policy efforts.  While this video predates Trump’s Independence Day tariffs leveraged against most of the world, it speaks to Trumps motivation to reshuffle the world along a US vs China geopolitical reality, creating a members only arrangement with allies who are willing to comply with Trump’s demands.  I am, however, not convinced that Canada will be among these as explained in the video below.  Better informed opinions on the Canadian perspective would be most welcome.

Negotiations are a means but not always to the same end.

The White House is seriously considering indirect talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Axios reported on April 2. This follows President Trump’s March 5 letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in which the president warned of military action against Iran’s atomic infrastructure if the Islamic Republic failed to reach a nuclear deal within two months. Tehran initially said it rejected direct talks so long as it remains under maximum pressure sanctions but has since counteroffered with indirect talks via Oman.
