Several years ago, I was flying through the Munich airport making a connection on the way home to Israel. For some reason I was selected for additional and what felt like particularly obnoxious screening inside the airport. Admittedly, until that point, passing through the Munich airport was the closest I had ever been to “visiting” Germany, a place that I never really wanted to go, and where I was uncomfortable being at all.

Israel Update: A Trojan Horse on the Right?  

Peloni:  Mike Doran and Gadi Taub take a look at the choices and complications facing the Right wing Bloc as the rising tide of small parties persists.  Gadi specifically addresses the implications of Ofer Winter’s new Party and how he might come to play a role in establishing a Left wing govt under the auspices of Avigdor Lieberman.  They also address Prof. Dan Schueftan’s highly antisemitic comments from their previous show and end with a look at the state of play with regards to Economic D-Day and the ever widening of traffic thru the Strait of Hormuz.

America; Enemies to the Left of us. Enemies to the Right. Stuck in the Middle Alone.  

Barry Shaw | The View from Israel | Sep 01, 2026

I recently published a report on the decay of the English-speaking Western democracies caused by the mass import of alien cultures whose negative impact can clearly be seen in the type of behavior once thought impossible in advanced Western societies.

The phenomenon, named by political psychologist, Gad Saad, as “suicidal empathy” shows us how people who once proclaimed themselves as “progressive” and “liberal” have unleashed the most regressive ideas on their societies as they whip off their progressive masks and reveal themselves to be hardened Communists, Marxists, and Islamists.

Iran heats up as U.S. conducts second round of strikes following tension in Strait of Hormuz  

Peloni:  What stands out in this latest return to US strikes on Iran is first, Trump’s trivializing of any import of the MOU, and far more importantly, second, Trump’s question as to when the Iranian people are “going to rise up and fight?”  This latter point is the real focus behind the economic D-Day, which is still yet to be put into force on a grand scale, so we will see if the people will rise up, but the real question which we might ask ourselves is when will the Iranian people be armed (if they have not yet been armed) so that they might do more than be added to the list of tens of thousands of Iranian dead who were slaughtered last January…

“Come November, what do your Jewish values tell you to do?”  

Peloni:  The answer to the question raised by Michigan AG Dana Nessel about Jewish values demonstrates an inherent betrayal of Liberal Jews whose understanding of Jewish values is actually substituted by their loyalty to the Democratic party.  In doing so they have replaced the ethos of Justice for the worship of even their own destruction as the ultimate golden calf worthy of their obsessive dedication.  Such warped vision of the world and what might serve as an ultimate good is not only dangerous to the Jewish people, but to civilization at large.  As Nessel acknowledges, service to the Democratic party is paramount conviction of the values she holds so high, its replacement of anything related to Jewish values is demonstrated further by the re-imagining of the entire telling of the story of Esther, as Avi Abelow describes below.  Jewish protection, Jewish education and Jewish identity are the keys to fighting Jew Hatred, but of course Jews who have cast off their own identity and values to support a globalist project integrated with Islamist antisemites will instead find value in their own self destruction so long as it serves their new ideology, and in keeping with the warping of reality they describe the would be destruction of our people as a necessary good.  This is truly evil.

CONSERVATISM IS NOT IDEOLOGY. IT IS THE ANTIDOTE TO IT. – Roger Scruton

*******

Normally demand is what YOU want. Supply is what I am giving you here.

Add China to the mix and we explore the economic rule that too much competition creates ruinous results. It’s not that a restaurant row on one block in your town provides too many options. Rather, you have too many options when every block becomes a restaurant row. You were happy with the outcome that you had so many choices and dishes, but the proprietors of these establishments have gone broke, leaving you little or no choice at all, leaving staff jobless and unhappy.

Does Jewish Existence Conflict with Human Survival?  

Peloni:  Surrendering to the Jew Hating mob by mislabeled “Jewish leaders” is one of the most shameful acts of betrayal to any Jewish community.  This act by Michigan AG Dana Nessel is, however, particularly disturbing as she suggests that the interests, identity and safety of her fellow Jews is less relevant than the universalist message which she is endorsing.  In doing so, Nessel is knowingly endorsing the message of Jew Hatred, making Jews everywhere less safe, while playing the role of the Court Jew which has previously been so well demonstrated by Senator Chuck Schumer, the Palestinian.  Rather than supporting Nessel in this moment of subjugation and capitulation, her Jewish neighbors should focus on hardening thei security, education and joy of embracing their own identity as Jews .  Remember that there is nothing more useful in facing down Jew Hatred than reasserting the spirit of Jewish identity which Nessel has instead come to advocate abandoning completely. As her Jewish community lies in a state of siege by the combined campaigns of Islamist and Leftist Jew Hatred, Nessel’s moral cowardice and abject leadership failures should render any influence she might once have had to become entirely moot.

Dana, you should go home to reflect upon the damage stemming from your troubling statements and stay there until such time as you can find the courage that will see your words in the future doing less harm than good, and that may well be forever.

Is there a conflict between the existence of the Jewish people and the survival of mankind? The attorney-general of Michigan thinks so. She has chosen her side in this alleged conflict—and it’s not the side of the Jews.

Democracies proscribe weapons sales to Israel   

by Steve Kramer         

In 1947 and 1948, in advance of Israel declaring its independence, Israel found itself at a disadvantage militarily and demographically to its Arab neighbors. With only about 600,000 Jews residing in Mandatory Palestine, living under British rule since the early 1920s, the Jews were threatened by Arabs who had lived in Palestine for generations. Many more Arabs had entered Palestine from No.Africa or Arabia to gain employment generated by Jewish development in the first half of the 20th century. There were also small minorities of Druze, Circassians, and Samaritans scattered within Palestine. Urban centers like Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, and Hebron had mixed populations of Jews and Arabs, while most rural areas were predominantly Arab Muslim. See NOTE 1.

The Arab Parties In Israel Want Autonomy & A Palestine State!  

Peloni: Meir Weinstein & Meir Jolovitz weigh in on the current state of affairs related to the coming Israeli elections in which the Arabs are once again being provided the means by which to act as the spoilers my maximizing their efforts to destabilize the Jewish state from within.  The discussion explores the attempt by which the Left are acting to help secure the Arab vote in the election as well as to normalize the Arabs involvement in potentially forming a govt.  While it seems obvious and redundant to suggest that these anti-Zionist Arab parties should have no political voice in Israel, the reality of having the High Court determine what is and is not a legitimate party in Israel has a destabilizing consequence all its own, and that includes tolerating the allies of terrorists with a significant political influence in shaping the future of the Jewish State.

Vance’s Hidden Conversation at the RJC  

Peloni:  It seems as if Vance, while recognizing that he has a problem with the Jewish vote, rather than actually dealing with this matter as if it needs or warrants handling, is instead going to minimize and ignore this glaring political hangnail.  Notably, this was the effect, if not the reason, he tried to keep his remarks at the RJC off the record, and in doing so, Vance purposefully missed an important opportunity to reach out to the Jewish and Zionist voters who have expressed serious doubts about Vance’s electoral candidacy.  The fact that he is treating the breach between Jewish/Zionist voters as if it does not exist, does indicate a bit of clarity that either he is politically tone deaf, or that he has little doubt that the tension he has created with these voters will affect his election chances.

What is more telling is that Vance failed to address any of the many previous faux pas which he has made in addressing Israel, Jews and Zionism over the past many months, while digging the hole a little bit deeper by suggesting the real problem with antisemitism lies in immigration.Notably, as I have stated before, Trump’s MAGA movement is the most philosemitic movement in US history.  Vance’s attempt to take the reins of that movement while ignoring the fact that he stand on the contrasting side of that ideological divide should not be ignored, but he has in fact done exactly that in this conversation, something which was only highlighted by Vance requesting the conversation not be recorded at an event in which the recordings are the greater point of the RNJ Summit being held.

Victory Requires Leadership & That Task Is Not Yet Completed  

Amir Avivi | X | Aug 29, 2026

In perspective and historical comparison to World War II, Netanyahu is the Churchill of the 21st century, and in this sense, the commandership he has demonstrated so far in the war is required even after the elections to ensure a strategic victory and lead Israel to a golden age.

Never Again Is Not Enough: Israel Must Never Forget  

Victor Satya

“Never again.”

For Israelis, “Never again” has never been merely a historical slogan.

And October 7, 2023, made that painfully clear. For much of the Jewish world, the Holocaust had become something that belonged to history books, museums and memorial ceremonies. The images were black and white. The survivors were growing older. The perpetrators were dead.
