By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | NOVEMBER 15, 2026

Son of Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip, High Advisory Board Bilal Erdogan

Bilal Erdogan, the son of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, received an enthusiastic welcome in northern Lebanon during a three-day visit that included meetings with senior Lebanese political leaders.

His visit illustrates Turkey’s efforts to expand its influence in Lebanon at a time when the regional balance of power is changing, particularly following the fall of the Assad regime in neighboring Syria.

Jewish writers shut out by publishers are writing their own comeback  

PELONI:

The response of these Jewish authors to the growing hostility and exclusion rising within the publishing industry represents something far greater than an effort to preserve individual careers or to find alternate avenues by which their words might greet and inspire a receptive audience.

KNOW YOUR MILITARY COLONISTS – Daniel Greenfield  

Daniel Greenfield’s impeccable prognostication from 2014 has held up over time.

America has been colonized by subversive foreign populations for decades.  The invaders, who were welcomed with open arms and copious benefits, don’t need to fire a shot.  Their mere presence and exponential growth will overwhelm us (and the West) over time.

High birth rates, tribal ethos, hostility, and violence will guarantee a level of expansion that will not so gradually lead to our abject defeat.

This is the takeover of America in plain sight, born of complacency and toleration.

By Eeyore on November 14, 2026: I am posting this important article here because Daniel’s own site no longer seems to be available, and the other site I had bookmarked which had this essay won’t load either and its too important an essay/article to let it get memory holed. It was written by Daniel Greenfield in July of 2014:

“Military Colonist” is a term that has gone out of fashion in this brave new world of “No Human Being is Illegal” and “Every Refugee Deserves to be Resettled.”

When Exposing Terrorism Becomes an Offence  

I Will Not Apologise for Exposing Terrorism

Khaled Hassan | The Grand Strategy | Nov 15, 2026

On 10 November 2026, I received an email from Free Press Unlimited, an organisation that describes itself as an international press freedom organisation based in the Netherlands, informing me that it was preparing a report examining what it described as the “delegitimisation” of two Palestinian journalists, Hossam Shabat and Anas al-Sharif, before and after they were killed by Israel.

Israel’s Good News Newsletter to 15th Nov 26  

PELONI:  It is interesting that we live in an age in which the greatest of miracles take shape alongside event of irreconcilable horrors.  From October 7 to the Grim Beeper Affair; from the execution of Nasrallah in his execution proof basement to the tragedy of Israel’s North being emptied of its Jewish inhabitants; from the amazing strikes which saw the end of the nearly entire Iranian regime to the American orders to ending the war to secure terms with their inimical Iranian antagonists.  Indeed, amid the catastrophes which I have to admit to being the greater portion of my reports, I also offer the awe inspiring report by the indomitable Michael Ordman who is one of my greatest inspirations.  So, when I find myself being too concerned about the treachery in Gaza, the insanity in America, the depravity in Europe, or the terror raging from Iran, I look to Michael’s Very Good News in Israel news report to sharpen my focus and to regain the very real truth that we really do live in an age of miracles, that we are in a better stead today than we have ever been, and that our greatest threat lies in our potential lack of unity as we face the challenges of a world which is being enamored with out most dire of enemies.  Bravo Michael, and thanks for all that you do for all of us.

Israel faces pressure to ease entry of winter supplies into Gaza  

PELONI:  It is the highest ironies and hypocrisies that the Americans and Europeans are once again returning to the blame-Israel trough for not dealing well enough with the needs of the Gazan people as these same international powers also require that Israel do so by using Hamas as the responsible authority in Gaza by which to affect the dispersant of the humanitarian aid being delivered to the terrorist enclave, even as the US and Europe maintain vigilance on preventing the people of Gaza from finding any safe haven from warzone controlled by Hamas.  Such recriminations by these erstwhile interests in humanitarianism is not just Chutzpah, it is Chutzpah Squared.  Instead of forcing the people of Gaza to live under the ravaging control of Hamas, these international powers should be ordering that the people of Gaza should go free, they should be helping them find safety and security beyond the ravages of being tied to a war , and they should be protecting them the control of the very terrorists which these same international powers claim to recognize as being terrorists.  Notably, the arrogance, insanity, and inconsistencies which is being openly displayed by both Washington and Europe is costing immeasurable hardships on the people of Gaza which could be easily alleviated if the Gazans were instead offered the means to live beyond the control of Hamas and the hardships of being human shields of war.  It is to the utter shame and calumny of Washington and Europe that such a standard is singularly applied to the civilians in Gaza as compared to any other war zone in modern world history. 

Of course, while it would be the morally correct move to make in allowing the Arabs of Gaza to find refuge outside of Gaza, the Peace Processors would lose the advantage of using the plight of the Gazans as a basis for which to press Jerusalem for greater and greater concessions to Hamas on whose part they are in fact acting while ignoring the obvious extortionist manner in which Hamas distributes the aid being delivered exclusively to their care, in a most callous and wretched act of moral duplicity on an historic scale.  Let the Gazans leave, and kill the terrorists – these should be easily understood to be the objectives of any effort which sincerely seeks to pursue peace… Playing such an iniquitous role by these international powers does not benefit America, it does not benefit Europe, and most certainly it does not benefit the Gazans, but it does add support to a public PR campaign adding pressure on Israel who is the true intended victim of all of these shamelessly savage demands.

Israel is facing renewed international pressure to ease restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza following heavy winter rains that flooded displacement camps and left residents struggling to drain water from their tents.

  • Iran’s regime is celebrating for several reasons. They see at last the validation of their prophecy that Islam will take over the West, foremost America. With candidates such as Abdul El Sayed gaining ground, they believe the process has begun — seats in the Senate today, the White House tomorrow, and eventually the ability to impose Sharia law just as they did in Iran.

Netanyahu urges Eisenkot to negotiate unity government ‘without preconditions’  

PELONI:  The govt which comes from a flawed election should not be granted the authority to make the changes which will be decided by any govt struck between Netanyahu and Eisenkot, which should make such public political posturing as this obsolete.  If any unity govt is to be formed, it should be based on the unfettered will of the people rather than on one which was clearly compromised, and yet was certified before even attempting to ascertain the consequence of the compromise.  I have said it before, what begins in Washington rarely remains in Washington, but the practice of accepting the outcome of compromised elections, especially when that compromise is related to hostile foreign actors, should not be adopted as routine, feasible or even acceptable.

Netanyahu said that a unity government composed of all the parties that support Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people “will answer the yearning” of many citizens.

Dismantle the United Nations  

Here’s a Crazy Idea: Shut Down the UN and Make Israel the World’s Role Model

Harry Liberman

An honest international body wouldn’t condemn the Middle East’s sole democracy—it would hand developing nations the Zionist blueprint for turning human agency into prosperity.

In science and engineering, the standard for progress is unforgiving: when an invention fails repeatedly to perform its intended function, you do not endlessly pour billions of dollars into the broken prototype. You audit the data, expose the design flaw, and dismantle the apparatus to build something that works.

INTO THE FRAY: The Arab parties as coalition partners -Past precedents and present perils  

Paul Schee:  This is exactly what Lincoln had in mind when in 1858 he said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

It defies all reason to have political parties in Israel that are hostile to Israel and friendly with countries and terrorist organizations. These parties and their leaders are not even embarrassed by their loud support for neutering Israel as a Jewish state. They wish to accomplish by politics what Israel’s enemies have failed to do on the battlefield since Israel was reconstituted in 1948.

What would have been the point of winning WWII if western European countries subsequently allowed the Nazi Party to participate in their governments?

Tiny Israel is fractured. One is reminded of a play where the actors make false exits and entrances, stumble over unfamiliar scenery, forget their lines and continually look to the prompter for guidance. The prompter, of course, cannot be found and Israel is left with a supreme court whose main concern is self-preservation in the form of unassailable autocratic rule as a government unto itself accountable to no one.

Since Israel’s last national election and its numerous irregularities those of us who admire, support and are grateful for all of her achievements in every field of human endeavor are left asking the same question as Viola in Twelfth Night, “What country, friends, is this?”

It ought to be one that does not include political parties or people who seek its extinction. This should be obvious even to the slowest of minds.

 The participation of the anti-Zionist Arab parties in Israel’s parliamentary elections is a multiple travesty of law, of reason, and of basic common sense.

 The recent elections have highlighted the precarious condition of Israel, its security and its ability to preserve its Jewish character.

What I Saw in Europe Shocked Me | Douglas Murray  

PELONI:  Borders are only relevant if the guidelines between those on the inside and outside of the border are clearly enforced.  The announcement of Trump in the post midterm election interview in which he described some of the actions of his own govt as being too far Right was a blatant error which exactly betrayed the principles on which Trump ran for president, ie to remove the millions of illegal aliens in the US and to restore order.  As Diana West so cogently explained, and as Douglas Murray explains further below, it would be a crucial misstep for the Republicans to acknowledge that enforcing US immigration laws if they were actual laws was a mistake.   Indeed, instead of surrendering to the results of a rigged election to re-envision US immigration policy to focus on only “violent” illegal immigrants being deported, Trump should maintain the principle that the law is the law, and to continue enforcing it as such.  The concept of the nation state requires a rigorous defense of the rights and privileges of citizens as being that of citizens alone.  Doing the heavy lifting of saving the American Republic is worth the effort, and in fact it is the only way in which the MAGA agenda will possibly be achieved.  As Douglas Murray explains below, failing to achieve this, would in fact not only harm America, but it would be a surrender for the entire West to its enemies and a further unravelling of Western society.
