MAHA: HHS’s RFK, Jr. gets off to an impressive start  

Peloni:  The reforms which were proposed by RFK during his campaign were important and long overdue, and it is very important that his MAHA agenda be pursued with a rigorous effort.  He has just been confirmed, but it will be important to hear him offer a response to the anticipated Project Stargate on which he has thus far been silent, as well as the continued use of the existing mRNA shots, on which he has previously spoken extensively.

How’d we get so lucky?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is on the job in President Trump’s cabinet as Health and Human Services Secretary after getting confirmed a few days ago and and he’s gotten right to work, coming up with usable, practical solutions to America’s health crisis, all of which should have multi-partisan appeal.

Ukraine-Russia war debacle may spell end of American taxpayers’ funding of European-globalist warmongering cartels in London and Paris  

NATO’s super-expensive proxy war against Russia has finally run its course, ending in total failure. This may result in the obliteration of post-World War II norms in which U.S. fights Europe’s wars.

European leaders are screeching and hollering over being left out of President Trump’s peace talks seeking an end to the bloody Russia-Ukraine border war.

Despite all of the financial and military assistance from the West, Ukraine has not been able to defeat Russia. And let’s be frank, it never will.

Let Gaza’s people choose where to rebuild their lives  

Jewish progressive groups that long decried Gaza as a prison now oppose US plans to relocate willing residents during reconstruction – a stance that contradicts humanitarian concerns.

For years, the American Jewish Left has been accusing Israel of “imprisoning” Gaza’s residents. Now the Left is, in effect, demanding that the Gazans be prevented from leaving. What a tragic irony.

King Abdullah II, take back your citizens  

Peloni:   This article provides an important accounting of both the history and the law regarding the topic of the Palestinian Arabs, and should be carefully considered while foreign nations seek to import their interests upon Israel.  In fact, it is only thru the test of history and law from which legitimate solutions might be fashioned and on which equitable resolutions should be based.  With this in mind, there can be no contest to the fact that the Palestinian Arabs were made stateless following their abandonment by Jordan, an act which should have earned the unified outcry by the international community at the time, an outcry which could only be deligitimized by denying the truth told by both history and law that the Palestinian Arabs have always been Jordanian citizens.  As Grunstein explains so well, the world should be speaking with one voice in stating, “King Abdullah II, take back your citizens

Whatever rights Arab residents of Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem may have had to assert any claim to sovereignty over these areas were given over to Jordan.

As I viewed the recent press conference with Jordanian King Abdullah II and President Donald Trump, I couldn’t help but reflect on the history of Jordan and the king’s namesake and great-grandfather, Abdullah I.

Erin Molan Interviews Arnold Roth  

Peloni: Arnold Roth lost a daughter in the Sbarro pizzaria bombing some twenty five years ago and is still waiting for justice of that event to be realized. He discusses that terrible event, as well as what has gone on over the past more that two decades, including his recent loss of his-son-in law who fell in battle in Gaza.

US imposes sanctions against ICC chief prosecutor Khan over arrest warrant for PM Netanyahu  

The International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, Netherlands, on July 23, 2024.

The Trump administration has imposed legal sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. This move by Washington comes less than three months after Khan played a key role in the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes during the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

Hezbollah Supporters Block Beirut Roads After Iranian Plane Prohibited From Landing  

Peloni:  So long as the Mullahs remain in power in Tehran, the Shia backed Hezbollah will maintain power in Lebanon.  The recent move to shut down the airport to prevent cash deliveries to Hezbollah was only accomplished by threats of Israel shutting down the airport permanently if the Iranian flights were not ended.  As indicated below, there has been no fundamental change in how Lebanon-Hezbollah relations, which is to say that Hezbollah is still very much dominating that nation.  Until the problem of the Mullahs are dealt with, Lebanon will remain a tool of Hezbollah, and of course, the proposition of ‘negotiating’ with the Mullahs will not alter the dominance of Iran in Lebanon.

  • Beirut Airport Entrances Blocked: Lebanese civilians blockaded roads surrounding Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport on February 13 after Lebanese aviation authorities barred an Iranian Mahan Air flight from landing. Hezbollah flag-waving rioters burned tires and brandished photos of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an IDF airstrike in September 2024, sparking clashes with the Lebanese Army, which eventually dispersed the crowds.

A Coloring Book for Future Terrorists  

by Rafael Medoff

When is a coloring book not just a coloring book? When its purpose is to incite children to hate Jews and glorify violence.

The Israeli police this week arrested the proprietors of an Arab bookstore in Jerusalem that was selling books promoting hatred of Jews and glamorizing terrorists. One was a coloring book, a fact that prompted much mockery on social media. Big, strong Israel is afraid of a little children’s book!

The book is called From the River to the Sea, an old Palestinian Arab slogan calling for replacement of Israel with an Arab state of Palestine. Intended for six to ten year-olds, the book features color-by-number pages that demonize Israel and honor terrorists and terror-supporters.

All eyes are on the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan this week following the Hashemite/Jordanian King’s Washington visit.

Despite the public smiles, and because of some significant public differences, there are many problems with Jordan that must be looked at under a microscope.

Open Letter to the Goyim  

By Walter E. Block

Who are the Goyim? That is Yiddish for non-Jews. They are all the people on the planet who are not Jewish. Who, then, are the Jews? They are all of those born of a Jewish mother.

Of late it seems as if the Goyim, not all of them thank G-d, but many of them, have declared open season on Jews. A recent high profile episode of this phenomenon was the attack in Russia where a Dagestani mob spontaneously attacked a plane that had flown in to that airport from Tel Aviv. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. It is actually, unfortunately, a world-wide occurrence. There has been a surge in such events in the US, France, Germany, all throughout Europe and in some 94 countries. No continent has been exempt from this scourge. And the rate has intensified in the aftermath of the Israeli reprisals against Hamas for their unimaginable attack against women and children of October 7, 2023, may that date be ever earmarked for infamy. These increased attempts at Judenrein (ridding Goyish society of all Jews) began on that date and catapulted when the Israeli Defense Force struck back against these vicious depraved intruders.

Egypt Just Pissed Off Trump and Israel Might Be the Big Winner  

The White House from Washington, DC, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Yes, the war is still going on and we have yet to destroy Hamas and liberate the Gaza strip, but…wouldn’t it be absolutely crazy if, in addition to liberating Gaza, Israel ends up liberating the Sinai Desert as well?

I know, it sounds wild. But given what we’re seeing right now, the pieces are falling into place for exactly that scenario.

Follow this logic…

Hamas Supporter Appears in NYT Ad by ‘Jews’ Opposing Trump Gaza Plan  

Peloni:  These radical shills are disgusting and dangerous, and their legitimizing of violence against Jews should be treated as a crime

“The uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”

by

Judith Butler, a radical leftist academic who described Hamas as “progressive” and part of the Left, and who defended the atrocities of Oct 7 by the Islamic terrorist group, was one of the top signatories to a petition by a group of anti-Israel activists, calling themselves the ‘ In Our Name Campaign’ claiming that they are “Jews” opposed to “ethnic cleansing”.

The Trump administration needs a Turkish-Syria policy right now  

Peloni:  It will be interesting to see what policy Trump prefers with regards to Erdogan, and if it will differ much from his first term’s policy.  Erdogan’s expansionist motives must be kept in check, and the best way for the US to do this is to eliminate the ever pervasive and dominating threat from Iran, so as to have a free hand to deal with Turkey.  If Trump is going to prefer the policy of negotiating with Iran, it will ultimately result in his inability to adequately deal with the threats from either Turkey or Iran.  And that would be very unfortunate for the region, but for the US as well.

While the Trump administration is focused on releasing all the hostages, making the Gaza and Lebanon ceasefires permanent, bringing the Israelis and Saudis toward normalization, and strategizing on what to do if Iran makes a mad dash to the bomb, a less imminent but equally important event is reshaping the Middle East for decades to come.

Hoodwinked: How Hamas influenced int’l media to not cover emaciated hostages – opinion  

Gaunt Jews do not play into the narrative of the world media, which has bought into Hamas’s deliberate strategy of painting Gazans as victims and Israelis as aggressors.

By GIL HOFFMAN | FEBRUARY 15, 2025

A photo of my frail grandmother helping her even more gaunt sister choose a dress after the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen death camp graces the wall at the Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center.

My grandmother recovered physically but was scarred emotionally. Nevertheless, she still managed to move to Israel, run a business, raise a family, and live long enough to see her grandchildren thrive in the Jewish state.
