Now we have another twist to the Syrian plot. According to the Syrian government, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, three Syrian soldiers were kidnapped inside northern Syria on the border with Lebanon by Hezbollah on Saturday, March 15. The three soldiers, once inside Lebanon, were then killed by Hezbollah. The Syrians then exchanged fire with Hezbollah. Five more Syrian soldiers were killed on Monday. The number of Hezbollah casualties is still not known. The Syrians have now sent more soldiers to the. border vowing to put paid to the Hezbollah threat. They are preparing to enter Lebanon to track down the Hezbollah operatives who they believe were responsible for killing their soldiers.
Peloni: Mike Doran and Gadi Taub conduct a deep dive into the incomprehensible war being played out between the Israeli Deep State and PM Netanyahu, all while Israel has re-initiated its war to destroy Hamas. The first half of this episode is particularly important.
Peloni: The reports of speakers pulling out of this conference as a point of political correctness was shocking to read. Both Israel and the Jews of the Diaspora have an interest and obligation in supporting as well as gaining support from allies who will stand with them and oppose the mounting influence being leveraged and bought by their Muslim enemies. The right wing parties of Europe are important allies whose interests are very much aligned with our own. Those who would use the Antisemitism onference to satisfy interests which contrast with that of fighting antisemitism should themselves be shunned.
Unlike the failure of the legacy organizations, Israel is blessed with Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli, who understands – and is ready to deal with – the real roots of antisemitism today.

For decades, the Jewish community has poured billions of dollars into Holocaust museums, educational programs, and legacy organizations, such as the NGO Anti-Defamation League (ADL), believing that these efforts would make the world a safer place for Jews.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.

Iran has made private requests to Yemen’s Houthis to “cool tensions” in the Red Sea, according to Reuters. The report states that two senior Iranian officials said Iran sent a message to the Houthis’ envoy in Tehran to de-escalate the ongoing conflict with the US and requested that Oman “convey a similar message to the group.”

In my last posting on March 17, I asked how much longer the impasse with Hamas could last and concluded by writing we would act in Gaza shortly: “I have a strong level of confidence that this is what will transpire.”

Big Pharma needs sick people to prosper. Patients, not healthy people, are their customers. If everybody was cured of a particular illness or disease, pharmaceutical companies would lose 100% of their profits on the products they sell for that ailment. What all this means is because modern medicine is so heavily intertwined with the financial profits culture, it’s a sickness industry more than it is a health industry. James Morcan
Peloni: This truth revealed in Mudar Zahran‘s speech before the EU has never been stated to the EU before nor since Mudar did so. This is because only Mudar can speak as the leader of the Jordanians Opposition, as a leader of the Palestinians, to the EU to clarify that when the Europeans abuse Israel to support the PA, they are in fact acting to harm the Palestinians. This message, no matter if it is spoken by an Arab or a Jew, an American or a European, it can have no particular gravity when compared to it being spoken by the Palestinians themselves, and no other Pal has ever actually done so, not at the EU. Also, as we listen to this speech and simply say that Mudar was right, or that he was speaking the truth, we miss the greater victory which Mudar won for us that day, because he spoke as one of the oppressed who was himself a victim of the very oppression which has been subsidized and monetized by the EU against the Pal population simply to restrain and attack Israel. Notably, no one else could actually make that statement with any where near the same gravitas and meaning as Mudar did that day. Relevantly, this was not the first time he made such unabashedly honest statements about Israel, and it was also far from the last time he has made them as well.
Mudar has been a very great and consistent friend to the Israeli people, and his defense of Israel has been a uniquely powerful one over the years, based on rational, relatable, and honest criticisms of Israel’s enemies. His success will be our success, and his failure will be ours to regret, and this would be true for the Palestinians as well.
THE SIMPLE TRUTH: OUR ENEMY IS NOT ISRAEL… BUT THE HASHEMITE REGIME THAT PRESENTS THE GREATEST EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE JORDANIAN-PALESTINIAN PEOPLE…

When does a community realize that its days are numbered?
When hate crimes are committed against it more than any other group? Nope.
When the mainstream media either ignores the hate crimes, does not report them or plainly denies them? Nope.
When some politicians are against them? Nope.
Linda Goudsmit: Journalist J.B. Shurk provides an excellent explanation for why patriots in the United States and around the world LOVE President Trump. It is his business-military mindset applied to common sense America-1st governance. The Democrat party and colluding foreign governments are apoplectic because President Trump has exposed and rejected their America-last strategies. The only thing missing from the article is that the Deomocrat controlled administrative state attempting to bankrupt the United States, is doing so in service to the globalist elite and its campaign for one-world government managed by the lethally corrupt United Nations.

Peloni: Any deal with Hezbollah should be understood to be a deal in which they will make no concessions while Israel makes significant ones. This has been the banditry by which Israel’s norther border has been manipulated to be left in the control of Hezbollah for decades now, and even as this policy of duplicity and one sided concessions is once again being unveiled, Lebanon, meaning Hezbollah, will be once again incentivized for their lack of reciprocity to the deal by once again becoming the recipient of billions of dollars in foreign aid subsidies. Israel should have only one policy in the north, and that is to pursue its military objectives as needed to secure its border with the foreknowledge that neither treaties or allies will force Hezbollah to be other than what it is, a terror organization which manipulates Lebanon at will with the support and consignment of the international community towards the ultimate goal of eliminating the Jewish entity in the region which i Israel. This cycle of stupidity expecting different outcomes from the same inputs must end.

Nabih Berri. By European Union, Attribution
Hezbollah and its allies – Speaker Nabih Berri, former Minister Najib Mikati, and Hezbollah ministers in the previous cabinet – all signed the ceasefire agreement with Israel that ended the war and that stipulated that arms in Lebanon must be exclusively in the hands of six government military and security agencies. When this happens, according to the deal, Israel withdraws from Lebanese territories. Now Hezbollah is reneging on its ceasefire promise, moving the goalposts, and reversing the order by saying that Israeli withdrawal comes first, then it might consider disarming.
It has a long history of “revolving-door justice” in which extremists are arrested in front of television cameras … and then quietly released.
Moshe Phillips
Eight weeks after the Palestinian Authority supposedly undertook a major anti-terrorist operation in Jenin and other cities, Israeli forces continue to capture terrorists, weapons and bomb-making equipment there. It seems as if the P.A.’s efforts weren’t quite as extensive as the international news media portrayed them to be.
Over the past two months, The New York Times has repeatedly claimed that the P.A. was in the midst of “cracking down” on the terrorists when Israel suddenly—and for no apparent reason—sent its forces into the same area. Other major media outlets have circulated similar reports.
Peloni: Pollard is completely correct. US “aid” limits Israel as a client status rather than as a full ally. For a robust and complete analysis on this topic, please read “End US Aid To Israel”
Janet Levy: We need to tell the truth about “aid” to Israel.
When U.S. officials talk about so-called “aid” to Israel, Americans need to understand that it is an investment with an unmatched ROI. Israelis build, test, modify and improve American weapons systems and supply some of the best intel in the world. Israel is NOT a drain on the U.S. budget as the value-added is nonpareil. There is NO comparison between the situation vis a vis Israel and the corruption and drain on American resources in Ukraine. THAT situation is NOT a win-win.
