The targeting of Jews in the wake of October 7 has been the key subject of COMMENTARY over the course of the past two years. The sight of Israel on the back foot and under attack, with thousands dead at the hands of genocidal maniacs, broke loose a shadowy evil that had been peeking out intermittently from behind the curtain of civilization for the past 80 years. It is roaming freely now. In London and Toronto, Jew-haters are literally demonstrating almost daily under the protection of the police, while those who oppose them are arrested for disturbing the peace.
In a major affirmation of its global economic stature, Israel has been ranked the third strongest economy in the world for 2025, according to The Economist. Surpassing economic powerhouses such as South Korea and the Czech Republic, Israel continues to outperform expectations especially amid regional challenges and ongoing conflict.
Peloni: Europe’s decay has been an ongoing tragedy made ever more evident and irreversible by the injection of unvetted Arab migrants into their societies in numbers which dwarfed and overwhelmed many communities in Europe, communities which are still in the death throws of being entirely consumed by the Arabic society which has shifted the Overton window of values, ideology and culture which once defined Europe as being European. With this in mind, it is important to recognize that the European countries which have come to recognize a Palestinian state have done so even as no such state exist, nor does any form of infrastructure which might support such an imagined nightmare. Indeed, the European nations which have endorsed this phantom state far from their own lands serves little purpose beyond the act of submitting to the dominance of Islam over the West, the subjugation of European values to those of Islamists, and the capitulation of their role in opposing the barbarians which are focused, not solely on the conquest of Israel, but that of Europe, the US and the West as well. The war of civilization over barbarism, if it is to be won, will do so without the support of the Eastern Europeans who have traditionally been the armrest of democratic civilization in Europe, leaving the Western nations of Europe to be the line from which, as Alexander explains, the reconquest of Europe will succeed or fail.
The indigenous population is aging and leaving, while the barbarians are young and passionate.
Peloni: Gen. Avivi discusses the increasingly important role which Israel needs to play in helping to protect Jews in the Diaspora. This would be largely due to the efforts of the Mossad and gathering and sharing intelligence to prevent attacks such as took place in Australia. He also argues that Jews should consider investing themselves in the state of Israel, while it is difficult it is possible and it is important.
The Islamic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach is a stark reminder that there is zero difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
The horrific shooting attack on the Chanukah party has generated a variety of responses and recommendations, from tolerance education and self-defense to increasing synagogue attendance as a show of defiance by holding larger public Chanukah celebrations.
Peloni: It is highly troublesome to hear the FBI representative repeatedly referring to the group involve here as a “radical Left Wing Group” if in fact it is an Islamic terrorist group. Radical Islam is a very real threat and the blinders employed to pretend that it can be wished away as ‘Left wing radicals’ only serves to provide cover for a very real intent which is concerted around the subjugation of the US by the adherents of the Muslim Brotherhood and others.
On Bondi Beach, in sunny Sydney, Australia, a thousand Jews were celebrating Hanukkah. Into their midst came two Muslims hellbent on murder. Before one was killed and the other wounded, they managed to kill at least a dozen Jewish victims. Andrew Fox, the former British Major and paratrooper, who is now a commentator on world affairs, has much to say about the Bondi Beach massacre, and other recent sheddings of Jewish blood, here: “Blood On Their Hands,” Andrew Fox, December 14, 2025:
Peloni: Must see video with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and David Wurmser in which they discuss the reality of the implications of the Syrian attack on US forces in Syria. Wurmser offers explanations about how Jolani has been manipulating the Americans as they continue to move their Jihadi agenda forward. Wurmser explain further that issue with Jolani is an extension of the Qatari and Turkish problems to which the Trump administration has failed to either grasp or to adequately react.
William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason.
Peloni: The first 7 minutes of this video provides perhaps the best detailed description of the attack as it took place. What is more revealing in this video comes at about the 20min markduring an interview with PM Albanese. While demonstrating a rush to presume that the attack was the work of a lone wolf team of father and son, Albanese completely dismisses the relevance of the connection between the attackers and other radicals in Australia who were actually arrested for their radical ideologies. While attempting to deflect towards calling for even greater gun restrictions (insanity built on stupidity) Albanese was pressed on the question of whether one of the Bondi Beach attackers was questioned about having firearms during a 2019 interrogation related to his association with Islamic radicals at the time. Albanese was pushed on the relatedness of his recent endorsement of ‘Palestine’ and the Bondi attack as explained by PM Netanyahu. Rather than responding to Netanyahu’s description of Albanese “replacing weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement”, he responded with empty platitudes, much as he did with the issue of the linkage of Muslim immigration in Australia and the Hanukkah Massacres.

Propriety dictates that I should congratulate Mr. Mamdani, now Mayor elect Mamdani, for his recent strong electoral victory. Sorry, I cannot bring myself to do any such thing. The man is a Communist despite his protestations to the contrary. And they, as far as I am concerned, are worse than Nazis. According to most historians, Hitler killed only 11 million people; 6 million Jews and 5 million Romany, homosexuals and other non-Aryans. In contrast, Stalin gets “credit” for 20 million, and Mao for an astounding 60 million.
The website of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), which is an arm of the Qatari regime that disseminates an extremist Islamist and anti-Western ideology,[1] recently posted an article titled “Is The End in Sight??”, by IUMS member Bouguerra Soltani, formerly the head of Mujtama’ Al-Silm, the Algerian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Written against the backdrop of the Gaza war, the article states that the Jews are “the enemies of liberty and world peace” and have failed to learn a lesson from the Holocaust.
Peloni: Having good security is important, but so too is exercising the right of self defense til security or authorities arrive, at least in those jurisdictions in which such a thing as armed self defense is allowed. Notably, among thousands of attendees with police present, no meaningful resistance was provided for a prolonged period of time, safe the unarmed Maronite Christian who was himself shot while disarming one of the terrorists. Importantly, the death toll just rose to 16, and it is likely going to go higher. Had any one of the thousands of pedestrians been armed at this Hannukah festival, how many of these dead might have been saved. Unfortunately, it was in Australia, where apparently only the terrorists carry weapons. Well trained, disciplined, and armed citizens is the best early protection system available. It has the distinct benefit of potentially saving many many lives, and simultaneously acts as a distinct deterrent, even to terrorists who want to kill many people before they are themselves neutralized.
Communities need to help assure the security of holy places
The horrible events on Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia on December 14th, where 12 were killed and 29 wounded, by at least two gunmen, illustrates the level of threat to the Jewish community in Australia and globally.
A friend of ours, Arsem Ostrovsky, a hero in the fight against antisemitism, was seriously wounded on the beach where the local Chabad community was hosting the event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah (the Festival of Lights).

US President Donald Trump may believe that selling F-35 stealth warplanes to Turkey will help the country forge closer ties with the US at the expense of Russia. The reality, though, is that by providing such sophisticated fighter jets to a country that supports Hamas terrorists — and whose president recently said that “Israel will have no choice but to kneel in front of Turkey” — Trump is merely stoking the flames of a future war aimed at destroying Israel.
