More Innocents Slaughtered by Arabism’s Useful Idiots, and Congresswoman Omar is left Speechless  

by Gerald A. Honigman

Two beautiful young Israelis, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were about to be engaged, but were wantonly slaughtered instead by a know-nothing, dhimmi useful idiot of Arabs in their non-stop quest to deny Jews in their sole, minuscule, resurrected nation what Arabs have gained for themselves on some six million square miles of territory via 14 centuries of non-stop jihadi imperialist, colonizing, settling conquests of mostly native NON-Arab peoples’s lands: Kurds, Copts, black Africans, native, pre-Arab Lebanese, Assyrians, Amazigh/Kabyle/ “Berbers,” native ‘kilab yahud’ (Jew dogs), and so forth .

The UN acts in violation of International Law while claiming to uphold it  

T. Belman. I decided to repost this important article because the title was right then and is right now.  The UNGA recently recognized the State of Palestine contrary to the Montevideo Convention which sets out the legal requirements for statehood:

The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.

At a minimum, “Palestine” does not have a “defined territory.”

Another example of the UN ignoring the law. The UN backed Oslo Accords clearly gives Israel full control of Area C.  Nevertheless the UN and its member states are financing Arab construction in Area C in total disregard of the Oslo Accords.

My 2009 article Can the UN impose a solution on Israel?  shed’s further light on the purpose of the UN

By Ted Belman (Published April 21, 2012)

The United Nations’ Human Rights Council has resorted to official enquiries as a precursor to damning Israel — the most recent of which was the Goldstone Enquiry on Cast Lead, Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza.  And we know how that turned out. Israel was accused of all manner of war crimes, though none were proven to have been committed.

Last week, the UNHRC passed a resolution to “dispatch an independent international fact-finding mission, to be appointed by the president of the Human Rights Council, to investigate the implications of the Israeli settlements on the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Palestinian people throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.”  The resolution was based, inter alia, on a written statement produced by Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights, a Palestinian NGO financed by a number of European countries.

Harvard is not what it seems – it is a Foreign Policy Tool  

Peloni:  The role of Harvard as a foreign policy tool used in color revolutions around the world places it at the nexxus of both Trump’s anti-Blob campaign and its anti-antisemitism campaign.  This is a fight which he can not afford to lose.

“Harvard is essentially a foreign policy tool that merges financial markets with intelligence and statecraft to impact global policy, foreign policy and the domestic drivers of foreign policy, which includes running out a president who might oppose a foreign policy that interferes with Harvard’s bottom line.”

License to kill  

Peloni:  Ignorant, dishonest and shameful, Golan’s efforts to deligitimize Netanyahu deligitimizes Israel altogether.  This is a pattern altogether common from the Left, and altogether embraced by our enemies.

It is only natural that those who hate Israel—from the halls of power to mobs in the street—will find validation, justification and even encouragement to intensify their efforts.

Analysis: Iran braces for potential conflict as 5th round of US negotiations ends inconclusively  

By Janatan Sayeh | May 23, 2025

As the fifth round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington concluded in Rome, signs of progress remained elusive. Iranian state media reported on May 23 that US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steven Witkoff had left the talks prematurely. Citing two anonymous Iranian officials, CNN noted the same day that Tehran doubted the meetings would yield any agreement. An Iranian official speaking to The National on May 19 also voiced skepticism over the prospects of a breakthrough.

China Isn’t Taking Over Manufacturing, It’s Taking Over Retail  

Peloni:  The writing has been on the wall for a very long time now, but self interest, corruption and globalist ideology has prevented the proper response to this all of economy assault.  Now, the same motivations which led to America surrendering its economy to China are supporting an insurrection against Trump’s policies meant to solve this catastrophe.

American officials usually accuse China of trying to take over our manufacturing, but that’s old news. China took over our manufacturing long ago. And the parts it still hasn’t taken over are usually the parts that it doesn’t want or that are too uneconomical to be worth taking over.

Taking over America’s manufacturing was never China’s endgame. Taking over our economy is.

Can the UN impose a solution on Israel?  

Peloni:  The topic covered in this article is what first drew my interest to Israpundit and Ted’s work some 18yrs ago.

T. Belman [Feb. 2024]. I have reposted this article from 2009 because it sheds light on the role of the UN in creating a World Government. As such it is really prescient.

The comments are also worth reading.

UN Charter: “To maintain international peace and security.”

By Ted Belman (first published in Dec 2009)

A movement is afoot to get the UN to predetermine borders between Israel and the future 23rd Arab state and to recognize “East Jerusalem” as its capital. Such predetermination would be in violation of the Roadmap which calls for a negotiated solution where “negotiated” implies freedom to say “no”. And such predetermination would prejudge the outcome which the world never tires of telling Israel, no one can do.

How do you solve a problem like Iran?  

By Andrea Widburg | Am Thinker | May 24, 2025

Image created using AI.

Many pro-Israel people I know, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are deeply worried about Trump’s current Middle East positions. He’s marginalizing Israel in negotiations with Saudi Arabia, accepting on the government’s behalf a luxury plane from double-dealing Qatar, and handing money to the goons in Syria. At the same time, he’s seemingly freezing out Israel, to the great consternation of Israel and its supporters.

‘Not Conclusive’: Iran and U.S. Hold New Round of Nuclear Talks in Rome  

FDD | May 23, 2025

Latest Developments

  • Uranium Impasse Remains: Iran and the United States achieved“some but not conclusive progress” during their fifth round of nuclear negotiations in Rome on May 23, according to Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi. Negotiators are at an impasse over whether Iran can keep enriching uranium or should be compelled to dismantle its enrichment capabilities completely — a key U.S. demand. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said this week that U.S. demands for full dismantlement of its enrichment program are “excessive and outrageous,” emphasizing his doubts that the talks would deliver results.

Israel is the legal owner of all lands west of the Jordan R.  

by Ted Belman (First published Dec. 31, 2022)

Israel’s rights to all the land west of the Jordan River have been compromised by the Oslo Accords. Israel has agreed that notwithstanding  such rights she will negotiate a settlement with the PA whereby they get an autonomous region with the boundaries to be negotiated. This is yet another reason to terminate the Accords.

Here are some previous articles which affirm such contention.

Dehumanizing the Jews, Then and Now  

by Rafael Medoff

Before Mrs. Tzeela Gez, the latest victim of Palestinian Arab terrorism, was even buried, the process of dehumanizing her was well underway.

Hananel Gez was driving his nine-months-pregnant wife to a hospital on May 14 to deliver their fourth child, when terrorists raked their car with gunfire.

The official Palestinian Authority news agency, Wafa, did not report the murder of Mrs. Gez. It did quote an Israeli cabinet minister calling for a forceful response to the attack—but it did not explain what he was responding to. That’s one way to dehumanize a victim—pretend she does not exist.

Israel’s ‘Just War’ Explained  

Gil Troy | May 21, 2025

As my children donned their uniforms while going off to defend Israel, America, the West, after Oct. 7, I told them: “The morality of this war is clear. You do whatever you need to do to protect yourself, your buddies, your homeland.  I am not speaking now as a father, an Israeli, or a Jew – but as an American historian. I’ve studied how America fought in World War I and World War II, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hamas started this war with a vicious attack. That puts the moral onus on them.

Netanyahu Says World Is Promoting False Claims About Starving Palestinian Children  

Israeli PM defends humanitarian efforts and blames terror group for food theft and global misinformation campaign.

Israfan | May 23, 2025

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a forceful condemnation Thursday night against what he called a global misinformation campaign accusing Israel of starving children in Gaza. Speaking via video on X, Netanyahu asserted that such claims are “Hamas propaganda” and are fueling antisemitic violence most recently culminating in the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.

Israel’s  Conundrum  

Peloni: In this essay, Ted sets out the conflicts which exist within Israel’s society, many of which are seen to be exacerbated in today’s headlines.  Particular attention should be paid to the insightful comment by Linda Goudsmit below article.

By Ted Belman (Originally posted July 2023)

In my recent article,  The West should make amends to the Jewish people for this historical injustice. I wrote:

“Ethnic homogenization is intended to avoid creating “Cleft nations” which are inherently unstable.

“A cleft nation is one in which the major ethnic groups are so clearly separate from one another in terms of values that it is difficult to form a national culture. These groups tend to be insulated from one another, particularly if they do not share the same or similar religions and value systems.”

David Wurmser Discusses the Corrosive Regional & Diplomatic Role of Qatar  

Peloni:  US engagement with radical Qatar is isoloating other Sunni allies, forcing Saudi Arabia towards a harder stance, and giving Syrian minorities a sense of abandonment, save for Israel’s interventions.  It also undermines the US domestic agenda of fighting antisemitism on US campuses which Qatar funds.

What makes this even worse is the fact that the US could have its cake and eat it too with its position of dominance over Qatar, and instead they let Qatar act as if they are in the position of dominance as the Qataris are having their cake and eating it too. The implications of this tail wagging the dog is very worrisome, and the consequences of it are highly damaging to US interests in the region as explained by Wurmser.

So the Palestinians Deserve Self-determination and We Deserve Dead Babies??  

Peloni:  Howard Rotberg expertly captures both the paradox and the threat with which we are faced with any prospect of Palestinian self rule, be it in Gaza or in Judea & Samaria.  Indeed, given the degree of weaponization with which they have been trained as experts in the savagery which we have seen them achieve, how might it be anticipated that they might be prevented from manipulating any opportunity of self-rule towards the further pursuit of their psychopathic dreams of revisiting their fantasy of October 7 again and again.  Indeed, the divide which part their demonstrable psychopathy from rational civilized behavior is such that they can only be trusted to do as they have been trained.  Not in Gaza, and not in Judea & Samaria, should the perpetrators and celebrants of October 7 be granted self-rule, not for one day more.  Rather they should be facilitated towards emigrating somewhere more remote, where their tendency towards such radicalism as they have been weaponized might be overseen and redirected by a logical, relatable and responsible third party.  A scenario such as the Jordan Option could provide an ideal solution towards dealing with this paradox, where the Palestinians would be monitored and overseen, away from their intended Jewish prey by a ruling body led by Mudar Zahran, whose governance and survival would itself provide and require a zero tolerance for such Islamist radicalism as has been the effect of both Hamas and PA self governances, overseeing the whole-of-society effort of radicalizing Islamist training of the Palestinians by UNRWA.

Howard Rotberg

With every act of terror by the terrorist Palestinians, Americans, including Jewish Americans, parrot the idea that this proves that Palestinians deserve a state.  As we have seen in the case of October 7th, the more barbaric and obscene the terrorist attack, the more frantic these morally confused Americans, Canadians and Europeans become to reward these barbarians with a state, money, humanitarian aid and the welcome to immigrate to our cities and countries.
