Peloni: This is very unfortunate.

The Trump administration made a massive political blunder on August 20th in its pursuit of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. The blunder centered on a “virtual” meeting led by NATO.
Iranian leaders fear only strength and the credible willingness to use it

Iranian media caricatured John Kerry and President Barack Obama during the nuclear talks a decade ago. Kerry’s broken leg was exaggerated with larger crutches, symbolizing weakness. Obama’s skin was darkened to highlight “defects” as the U.S. gave in. The Iranian message: America submits, Iran dictates.

We are now in late August, and a good number of the young people here in Israel – among them some of my grandkids – will begin their year of study next week, which means this is their last free week of summer. A good time, then, for me to be with them. Yesterday was an excellent day with a museum focus.
Peloni: The war against the Jews is being extended to strike at the heart of support for Israel and the Jews among Christian Zionists. From Tucker Carlson’s referencing Israel over 800 times across only 6 weeks of interviews, to the Paper of Record promoting fake famines, to the use of religious iconography to attach to a religious significance, the Christian Zionists are being manipulated, much as was Amb. Huckabee, to condemn the only bastion of safety and security for Christians in the entire Middle East Region.

Since Israel’s latest war began, Hamas and the global forces of anti-Semitism have engaged in a three-pronged propaganda campaign to cripple the Jews and Israel: (1) fool gullible leftists into supporting the victims of “genocide”; (2) rally Muslims throughout the West to terrorize Jews while pressuring supine governments; and (3) encourage Christians to withdraw their support for Zionism.
While many secularists have long ago discarded any sympathy for Jews or Israel—partly thanks to disinformation from the KGB in the last century and from the legacy media today—Hamas’s propagandists and their allies at The New York Times are well aware that the last major bastion of Western philo-Semitism is Christian Zionism. Therefore, they have embarked on a campaign to convince Christians that the Jews are the aggressors—even the persecutors of Christians themselves—in the cause of breaking the Christian-Jewish alliance.
Peloni: Amb. Yoram Ettinger provides explanation of US reliance upon Israel, more so, with fare more success, than any other of America’s world allies, for its intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, homeland security, testing & development of military technology, as well as its strategic positioning within the Middle East. He also explains that recognition of a New Palestinian Arab State would undermine US national security interests.

Peloni: So long as the hostages are to be treated like a priceless asset, Hamas will move to increase the number of hostages it holds. This is bad news for the IDF forces on the front lines as well as in outposts inside Gaza. As Israel has been anxious to pay such steep prices for the hostages, it has made the revival of Jew Hunting profitable beyond imagining. This was always an unfortunate but predictable outcome to the ‘negotiations’ at almost any price for even a small number of hostages.
Peloni: The US needs to pivot to Asia, and in this mode, it is trying to force some oversized square pegs into round holes. Nowhere is this process of pretending solutions more evident today than with the efforts of Tom Barrack, with his imaginary claim that the Lebanon problem has been solved with nothing more relevant or significant than a bit of braggadocio by Lebanon’s govt.

US Ambassador to Turkey and Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack is creating a mess in the Middle East, seemingly unaware of the repercussions. Working with the Lebanese government, he crafted a five-page plan outlining steps for Lebanon to disarm the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah and reciprocal actions for Israel. The fatal flaw? Barrack failed to consult Israel before committing it to this Lebanese-American proposal, expecting the Jewish state to adhere to a plan it never reviewed. This, Barrack believes, is diplomacy. It is not.

One major change in Israel since October 7, 2023 is that sovereignty has become a respectable policy. No sober Israeli Jew, Druze, Christian can any longer promote the insane idea of turning Judea and Samaria over to the “Palestinians.”
But if not, who should be sovereign there? Who will be the law in what antisemites call the “West Bank”?

HERE’S HOW JORDAN’S “QUEEN” RANIA IS DESPERATELY PUSHING TO MAKE HER SON KING BY INCITING AGAINST ISRAEL AND FUELING DIVISION BETWEEN JORDANIANS AND PALESTINIANS… YET ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE REAL COMMON ENEMY OF BOTH PALESTINIANS AND JORDANIANS IS THE HASHEMITE REGIME, NOT ISRAEL….

Peloni: Megyn Kelly’s description of the routine Israel Lobby nonsense easily fails to impress. Where is her commentary on the Qatari lobby, the Saudi Lobby or the UAE lobby, all of which outdistance the Israel lobby. Indeed, rather than criticizing AIPAC for its efforts to share the realities in Israel with her, she should have taken that offer and seen for herself the tragedy of what took place there. Instead of being ‘independent’, her comments clearly paint Kelly as being ill informed, as she once again comes to the support of the pro-Iran, Israel-bashing Tucker Carlson who she “knows” so well. Perhaps she should stop outsourcing her perspective to the influence of her friend Carlson, and find out for herself what the facts really are in Israel. Perhaps, then, instead of condemning AIPAC for their efforts to inform the world of what life really is like in Israel, she will come to lend her voice in calling for AIPAC to stop supporting the menacing threat of a Two State Solution.
“Israel is the only country I know of that has some sort of incredible influence and control over nearly every single one of my colleagues…”

An interesting article was recently published regarding voluntary resettlement of Gaza Arabs (who only as of the mid-20th century C.E. renamed themselves “Palestinians”) to the independent nation of South Sudan—a very different entity than Sudan.
The following analyses provide very important background about South Sudan necessary to better understand this proposal:
Peloni: This Iranian regime extends its authority to Lebanon, Gaza, the PA, Yemen, across Europe, and North, Central and South America. It’s intent is to destroy the West and place the world under an Islamic Caliphate. As the West continues to pretend that this is a manageable threat, they are toying with their own demise and subjugation. This regime must be removed, allowing Iranians the choice of a future which is not dependent upon world conquest, and the world with the security of knowing that this long held kernel of threat over the Western World has finally been eliminated.

I love you, BUT I’m not “in love” with you. You don’t have to go home, BUT you can’t stay here. You may continue fighting, Martial Law President Zelensky, BUT the American people won’t be following you into World War III.
