Saudi F-35 Purchase: The DIA Leak  

Peloni:  It is vital that Israel maintain its strategic advantage in US military armaments til such time as Israel has its own innovative armaments being produced.  Yet at the same time, the US will find the sale of billions of dollars of advanced military equipment to Saudi Arabia as being very tempting.  So the question arises, is the loss of Israel’s strategic advantage worth MBS’ commitment to normalize relations with Israel, or even to join the Abraham Accords?  I would think that the answer would be a hearty and resounding ‘NO!’ but I worry that this is exactly what might be coming in the next few days.  The Saudis are experts at getting the Americans to do as they want during such negotiations, and the Saudis want the f35s…and nuclear power as well.

Not a Slam Dunk Deal

Is History Repeating Itself?  

Peloni:  The conversation about the safety of Jews in the Diaspora grows ever more conspicous as Jew hunts, anti-Jewish protests, and anti-Jewish influencers increasingly dominate headlines.  Is it the time to fight for Jewish presence among the nations at an end, or is it more important today than ever?  Please comment on Ronn Torrosian’s warnings below.

Assimilated German Jews insisted that Jews had nothing to fear if they behaved correctly, shed their national identity, rejected Zionism, and embedded themselves wholly within German society. Sound familiar?

Ronn Torossian | Nov 14, 2025

In August 1933, only months after Hitler rose to power, a chilling interview appeared in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Dr. Max Naumann, a proud German patriot and the founder of the Verband nationaldeutscher Juden – the Association of National German Jews – declared his unwavering loyalty to the Nazi government. Even as Jewish livelihoods were being dismantled, professions confiscated, and families terrorized, this group of proper, non-Orthodox German Jews insisted that Jews had nothing to fear if they behaved correctly, shed their national identity, rejected Zionism, and embedded themselves wholly within German society.

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Mamdani Wolf? Not me!

I stopped counting the massive numbers of articles — both before and after the election of November 4, 2025 — that predicted the complete devolution/collapse/implosion of New York City, a huge exodus of both Jews and Christians, as well as businesses and the Wall Street financial district to friendlier climes in what was anticipated to be the full-fledged conversion of the Big Apple from capitalism to communism, from law and order to a runaway crime wave, and from historical diversity to full-bore antisemitism and the passionate embrace of Islamism and sharia law if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor.

Jolani’s Minister of Culture Hosts “Al Aqsa Flood” Event Celebrating Oct 7?!!  

Peloni:  Is Washington completely blind to the govt which it has just hosted a full court press event in the Oval Office?  Many are calling for this event to be cancelled, but it should be clear that cancelling the event would be the real deception of that which Washington has chosen to align itself.  Trump may believe that he can control these barbarians, but this demonstrates the reality of who is fooling who.

Min. Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli | X

Who could have possibly imagined that the Ministry of Culture of Jolani’s jihadist regime would host an event called “Al Aqsa Flood” celebrating the rape and murder committed by Hamas terrorists?!

It is a tragedy to witness the naivety and ignorance displayed by senior advisers who still fail to grasp the true nature of this regime. Their blindness is not only embarrassing but also dangerous.

However, Sinwar did choose an accurate name for his disastrous attack, one that perfectly describes what he brought upon his own people, turning Gaza into a flooded tent camp.

Judicial Overreach Threatens the Republic  

Peloni:  Judicial review is an important concept, but it needs to be tied to established institutional doctrine which the the Founding Fathers of the US, unlike those of Israel, had the good wisdom to enshrine in a single document, ie the US Constitution.   The further the US strays from this arrangement, the greater they will be transformed into a nation ruled by a black robed junta.  To see how bad things can get, look to Israel today.

By J.B. Shurk | Am Thinker | Nov 13, 2025

Should America’s constitutional republic ever fall, the most likely cause of death will be its corrupt institutions. When citizens lose faith in the “system” and have exhausted all available remedies to “fix” that “system,” they will feel wholly disconnected from the government that rules over them. A cascade of institutional crises will exacerbate public distrust in the “system” until the “system’s” legitimacy collapses.

Trump’s “Plan B” for Gaza Just Dropped — and Everyone’s Losing It  

Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki makes the case that the plan being suggested in a recent report by Axios where the Gazans will be housed in the Israeli controlled part of Gaza is actually provided for in Trump’s original plan under Point #17.  The only distinction is that Point 17 explicitly states that the Gazans will be held in territories which the IDF transfer to the ISF, the proposed Arab armed force for which the composition is still highly obscure.   So, as Israel has fulfilled its part of the Trump plan, withdrawing even further than indicated, the Arabs states and Hamas have each failed to honor their part of the deal, something which should surprise few.  Yet, the consequence of this is that the IDF controlled territory is now to harbor what the Trump’s 20 point plan describes as New Gaza.  In other words, Israel evacuated from its forward positions, only to be burdened with controlling the territory on which the Gazans, some thousands of which participated in October 7, will now be housed.  This is not only significantly different from what Trump’s 20 point plan called for, it defies the very reason which Netanyahu ostensibly gave for not wanting the IDF to control Gaza throughout the war, ie, that the IDF would have to patrol the Gazan people.

Netanyahu Yields to American Pressure, Will Let 200 Hamas Fighters Go Free  

Peloni: Is there no limit to the sacrifices which Israel must make to permit this failing peace plan move forward?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yielded to American pressure. He has agreed to let the 200 Hamas fighters still in tunnels under Rafah, on the east side of the Yellow Line that demarcates where the IDF and Hamas forces in Gaza are in control, to go free. It’s a terrible concession on the part of the Israelis, who had earlier been determined to wipe out all the Hamas fighters who had been in tunnels to the east of the Yellow Line, terrorists who now will be allowed not just to escape being killed by the IDF, that had them trapped in those tunnels, but Israel has apparently agreed as well that it will not even hold them as prisoners.

The Buchanan Resurrection  

Peloni: Pay close attention to Dan Linnaeus’ full remarks as well as to Lee Smith’s important article in the second tweetbox.  Carlson is carving out a niche of control on the American Right, even as he is doing so using tactics and subjects better assigned to the Left. Americans need to gain an awareness of what Carlson is doing and decide if the second coming of Father Coughlin will fair better in the modern age than it did in the 1930’s.

A recent poll of Palestinians in Judea and the Shomron, reported by Gatestone Institute journalist Khaled Abu Toameh, should provide a cold-water shower for those who were extrapolating even greater things coming from the undeniably amazing achievement of a cease-fire deal that saw the release of all of Israel’s living hostages.

Army Radio Cmdr to Challenge Closure of IDF Station in High Court  

Peloni:  In a land where everything is justiciable, there can be no real power but that of the leadership dressed in black robes.  In such a world of tumult and arbitrary rule, the judges’ gavel of one overpowers and out distances the votes of millions.  Such insanity has ruled Israel into a point of insecurity, deep divisions, and insanity, and yet it is often, too often actually, described as the envy of the world.  The world should take a close look at the consequences of rule by arbitration, and take note that Israel will one day find itself at a crossroads where the arbitrary power afforded to opinions whose authority is due to their black robed dressings is far too great a challenge to the interest of the Jewish state.  What comes after that tipping point may be a return to rational governance, as described and chosen by the people whose dignity and independence is daily assaulted by bench decrees in some of the most significant and arbitrary aspects of life in Israel.

Legal and political battle intensifies over Katz’s push to end 75 years of military broadcasting.

Sadly, October 7 was not unique in Jewish history  

Peloni:  A must read book!

We NEVER learn and so history repeats itself.

Diane Bederman

I am sharing facts from the book: The Road to October 7: Hamas, the Holocaust, and the Eternal War against the Jews by Rafael Medoff. Buy it. Read it. Share it. I thought of myself as well educated in Jewish history. This book is mind-blowing. Mr. Medoff shares details from October 7 and then gives us a history of Jew hatred.

Hezbollah Attempt Smuggle Weapons Thru Syria, Rebuild in South Lebanon, IDF Says  

Peloni:  As Jolani receives full court treatment in Washington DC, he fails to secure his borders and prevent arms transfers to Lebanon at home.

FDD | Nov 12, 2025

Latest Developments

  • Hezbollah in Breach of Ceasefire, IDF Asserts: The IDF accused the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah of attempting to rebuild its armed capabilities south of the Litani River, in violation of November 2024’s ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel. Israeli military spokesperson Nadav Shoshani said on November 11 that Hezbollah was operating in southern Lebanon while actively smuggling weapons from Syria. Following his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House this week, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa claimed that his regime had already taken action against Hezbollah, saying, “Israel has always said it has concerns about Syria because it is afraid of the threats that the Iranian militias and Hezbollah represent. We are the ones who expelled those forces out of Syria.”
