PELONI:  This was a profoundly disturbing story, highlighting not only the fact that the enemy is inside the wire, but also what the consequences of such a fact might hold.

Jihad poisoning plots are not new. Al-Qaeda has long considered the contamination of food as a jihad mass murder tactic. And in 2017, the Islamic State called on Muslims to poison food in Western supermarkets

PELONI:  This is a very important undertaking by the Hudson Institute’s Mike Doran.  Jew Hatred is being used to undermine Western society, Western values and Western alliances.  Piggy-backing on the prevalent undercurrents of Jew Hatred which already exists within Western society, Western adversaries are finding themselves at an ever increasing advantage as they use the most ancient and yet most baseless of prejudices in the West to unravel the most relevant aspects of the West.  Focusing on how this is being achieved and working towards ending it would be a very great advantage in the war for the survival of the Western world.

Antisemitism is traditionally understood as bigotry against the Jewish community.

But it is also being used as a tool by America’s enemies to undermine American confidence in the US-led alliance system. China, Russia, and Iran are all pushing antisemitic messages to drive a wedge between the US and Israel.

Hudson’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East is launching a new initiative to identify and document how antisemitism is being weaponized to advance the goals of America’s foreign adversaries.

PELONI:  Yishai Fleisher offers some important context to Min. Itamar Ben-Gvir‘s many outrageous statements for which he has been chastised by friends and foes of Israel.  He argues that we should understand that this is similar to the crocadile moat surrounding the prisons containing the terrorists.  Frankly, I always thought the crocadile law was off based and silly as there were no attempted escapes from the prisons and certainly no actual escapes from the prisons, but Fleisher explains the purpose in this and other statements and gestures made by Ben-Gvir which receive significant criticisms reflect the fact that he is not speaking or addressing the West.  Instead of mollycoddling Western sentiments, these statements and actions are directed at the East, at threatening and managing the threat which exists from would be terrorists and regional enemies.  Much more to be gained in this short 12 minute video.

Also, don’t miss how Ben-Gvir plans to deal with Orthodox enlistment at the bottom.

PELONI:  The recent revelation of Ilhan Omar being implicated in the Somali fraud in Minnesota came at the end of a long list of fraud implications being raised against Omar.  From marriage fraud to immigration fraud to tax fraud, the list of charges which have been leveled at Omar has been neither short nor immaterial, and yet it is only now being investigated.  The effort to protect Omar from being sanctioned within the Congress with bipartisan support has always been a troubling issue to reflect upon.  Despite this fact, it was a Washington DC judge who authorized the current warrant on this case, which, as Collins explains, suggests a rather strong basis likely exists for the warrant.

PELONI:  Fatah remains so confident of Western support for their shell game of Jew slaughter that they arrogantly explain their intent of gaining greater advantages towards achieving ever greater slaughter of the Jews and Israel’s destruction thru its role-playing interest in Western led faux peace negotiations.  Or course, after a century of repeated attempts to leave the Jews with an ever shrinking Jewish home which only ever leads to more dead Jews amid Arab intentions of conquering “From the River to the Sea”, how could this confession actually surprise anyone…  Peace is not the goal which should be the focus of ongoing negotiations.  Instead, survival and security is what should be the paramount endeavor, for any nation, but certainly for one which has suffered so much while trying to appease its enemies at the request (read as demand) of its friends amid a century of war and butchery… The Two State Solution is not the path to peace, it is a path to yet another Hebron Massacre on a nation wide level…

PELONI:  The notion that the US govt actively coordinated its efforts to protect the Saudis from being impllicated in the 9/11 attack still stands as one of the most egregious betrayals of Americans.   I have been anxious to see this case play out, as the discovery alone could be quite explosive.

Had Ed Miliband attended Yom Kippur services late last month, he would have stood alongside millions of Jews worldwide and proclaimed the ancient prayer at the conclusion of Neilah: ‘L’Shanah Haba’ah B’Yerushalayim’-‘Next Year in Jerusalem!’ One city.

Death, taxes, and vicious anti-Israel statements from the UK’s Foreign Office may pretty much be the only three constants in this world. Nonetheless, there are some lessons to be learned from the latest screed issued by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.

In the Torah portion Lech Lecha we read about Abraham and Sarah, the founding ancestors of the Jewish nation. In the narrative, Abraham and Sarah make aliyah, literally ascending to the Land of Israel, to make their home there. Aliyah and Zionism have been an inseparable, living part of the Jewish nation ever since. This Zionism has been in our genetic makeup from the very first.

PELONI:  The Houthi war with the Saudis is becoming an increasing focus of non-Saudi actors forming up a complicated array of partners and interested parties complete with contrary interests across four main geographical flashpoints.

This potentially important development comes as Pakistan and Turkey may also be deploying forces to Saudi Arabia to support the Kingdom’s defenses against the Houthis.

• The Middle East… remains far from stable. Hamas continues to resist disarmament, Iran remains a major threat, and Hezbollah’s armed presence in Lebanon continues to undermine the authority of the Lebanese state. The future of Gaza, including who will govern it and who will control its weapons, stands unresolved.

Jihadists always try to find ways to manipulate any infidel system, and often succeed. Following federal crackdowns and legal actions against Palestine Committee-linked groups, former members of those networks formed American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Go HERE to view the vast network of Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Palestinian Networks operating within America, including numerous organizations that were designated unindicted coconspirators in a Hamas jihad terror funding case. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is doing what every responsible Western leader should be doing, given the large amount of irrefutable evidence connecting these entities to the global jihad.

PELONI: This deeply personal reflection by Nikki Goldstein explores the ancient covenant, enduring connection, extraordinary resilience, and hard-won refuge translates the connection with the lands of Israel as being far more than a distant locality on a map: for Jews around the world, it is a home that history could not erase and a an answer to the promise of “Never Again”.  Goldstein explores what it mean to feel at home in a country you’ve never visited – and why that feeling has taken on a sense of urgency for Jews since October 7, Bondi, and the rising tide of antisemitism.

Yesterday, a man boarded a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying an axe, or a knife (at the time of writing the weapon is not yet confirmed) and a murderous intent. But by the time the passengers had wrestled him to the floor of the cabin, the only thing that had changed in most people’s lives was a headline they scrolled past. Flydubai Flight FZ1073, diverted, the attacker restrained, everyone walked off that plane alive. A good news story, by all accounts.

PELONI: President Trump’s pledge to hold off on striking Iran until after the U.S. midterm elections has not calmed Tehran, but rather, it has had the effect of encouraging Iranian hardliners to escalate before the election deadline passes. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki examines Iran’s rhetoric and reports to demonstrate growing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, and examines the regime’s remaining military capabilities regarding its ability to draw the region back to war in the coming weeks.

PELONI:  Presuming that these polling numbers are accurate, and judging by past election cycles they are probably elevating the Leftist faction at the cost of the national camp, it really does come down to a question of whether you would prefer a government led by Netanyahu or a govt supported by the anti-Zionist Arab parties.  All other considerations serve as distractions to this fundamental choice in this election, so choose wisely.

PELONI:  The coordination of efforts to undermine Netanyahu’s credibility as a choice in the next election is both quite impressive just as it is also quite manufactured.   I have made the same suggestion as described below by Avi Abelow, namely that the post October 7 era has demonstrated that of all the likely contenders for PM in the next election, Netanyahu alone has demonstrated the ability to make good judgements regarding the war, and in times of great aversity, to resist the Americans demands as needed.
