Peloni:  The death penalty should be employed against terrorists such as the perpetrators of October 7.  Doing so would serve to alleviate the concerns of the petitioners bemoaning the living conditions of the too well kept butchers who owe their continued good health and splendid quarters to the over indulgent support of the very people they were caught trying to slaughter.

Israel’s Supreme Court’s diligent concern for the conditions of Hamas terrorists outrages the Israeli public

There are moments in life when a person or an institution will do something that causes jaws to drop and provokes mass headshaking in disbelief.

Such an event recently occurred when Israel’s Supreme Court, its self-proclaimed bastion of democracy, took it upon itself to aggressively worry about the conditions of Hamas prisoners, including the Nuhkba sadistic murderers of October 7, 2023, now incarcerated in Israeli prisons.

One last story about Jimmy Carter and his Jewish problem: this is about his attempt to prevent a Nazi war criminal from being deported. More can be read about it here: “When Humanitarianism Ends: Jimmy Carter’s Disturbing Request on Behalf of a Nazi War Criminal,” by Varda Meyers Epstein (Judean Rose), Elder of Ziyon, January 1, 2025:

Jimmy Carter died, but few Jews mourn him. Carter’s animus toward the Jewish people is by now, legendary. Elder of Ziyon offered an overview Carter’s overt Jew-hatred in Jimmy Carter, antisemite. Saving the worst for last, Elder detailed Jimmy Carter’s plea for leniency for Martin Bartesch, a former SS guard at the Mauthausen work camp during WWII:

Too many Americans keep asking “Why is Israel still fighting?” It’s as if Israel’s right to self-defense after October 7 had a two-month expiration date.

Footage released by Houthi Military Media says to show a launch of missile, which the Houthis say they fired at Israel, at an unknown location in this screen grab obtained from a handout video released on December 19, 2024.

The Houthis’ ongoing missile barrage provides the moral clarity Israelis need in battle – and the motivation to keep fighting this multi-front war we spent years trying to avoid. Soldiers have always reported, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Having been awakened Friday night by the latest air raid sirens in Jerusalem, I’ve discovered there are no pacifists in bomb shelters, either.

Mosab Hassan Yousef warns that freeing prisoners could reinvigorate Hamas’ global terror network.

Peloni:  The removal of Gallant from the govt was a significant victory as he was the final obstacle acting on part of the Americans in obstructing Netanyahu’s control over the course of the war.  His resignation have the same effect for the govt in being able to pass essential legislation such as the Heredi Draft Law.

Coalition and opposition leaders criticize Gallant’s resignation

In a short video statement, Gallant asserted he would stay in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party, ending rumors that he intends to join another party and run against Netanyahu in the coming elections.

Janet Levy:In his New Year’s Day address at Mar-a-Largo, Trump confirmed his commitment to H-1B visas and his support for Mike Johnson as speaker.

Very disappointing!  We voted for MAGA and got the globalists.

Also, conservatives have gone back to sleep.  Few people – Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer – are speaking out about this betrayal.

There are many people who only became aware of Elon Musk after he dropped Ron DeSantis and took up a position in support of President Trump.

Most of those people do not have a reference for Musk complying with the platform control demands of Brazil, France and Turkey [Durov (Telegram), and Pavlovski (Rumble) did not].

Most of those Pro-Elon people also do not have a reference for Musk claiming he and his legal team did not know former FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker was the legal counsel for Twitter at the time of the purchase, until after independent journalist Matt Taibbi was researching the Twitter Files and complained about Baker filtering information. {GO DEEP} Musk fired Baker, and eventually, Musk kicked Taibbi out and shut down the Twitter File reviews.

Hostages once held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip detailed brutal acts of torture and violence perpetrated against them in captivity in a new report prepared for the U.N. by the Israeli government.

The report, dated Dec. 23, draws on testimony of hostages taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks who were subsequently released or set free. Among other abuses, the prisoners testified that the Hamas terrorists subjected them to sexual assaults, brutal psychological torture, branding with hot objects, deliberate starvation and more.

Speakers who have been featured in recent months—and one who is slated to talk in January—have promoted anti-Israel libels.

One of Great Britain’s most prominent institutes for the study of antisemitism is quickly turning into a home for extreme Israel-bashers.

When the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism was created at the University of London in 2010, there was great hope that it would live up to its declared mission of promoting research and teaching to combat “antisemitism, racialization and religious intolerance.” The public had no reason to doubt the institute, which was originally named after its founder, the Pears Foundation, would live up to its mission “to promote genuine advances in the understanding of complex issues.”

Iran’s ring of fire strategy is in tatters thanks to Hamas’ war, and Iran’s nuclear program is likely about to meet its Waterloo, and with it potentially, Iran’s theocratic dictatorship.

Long-standing Iranian grand strategy in the Middle East has been to use a network of proxy militias to do its bidding and to keep its hands clean hoping to avoid retaliation. The Iranian doctrine involved using its proxy militias to destroy Israel in a ‘ring of fire’ and push the U.S. out of the Middle East before it would settle accounts with its Sunni opponents. To that end, Iran armed, trained, and supported Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Syrian regime, the Houthis in Yemen, and Shia militias in Iraq all with the goal of finishing off Israel. Iran used its network of regional militias to become a regional military threat in the Middle East perhaps until it could become a nuclear power to dominate the area and threaten Europe.

Peloni: I don’t think Trump chose the likes of Rubio to begin a war with China/Russia, but rather to threaten them into accepting an America First price for peace.  Trump is not one to move towards peace thru weakness and capitulation (we could agree to call this the Carlon-Owens plan for peace), but thru strength and resolve.  In fact, failing to act as if war is a clear and obvious choice will not bring peace of any lasting permanence, and doing so would harm America’s standing in the world, something which Trump would not tolerate.  So the question is whether Rubio will be calling the shots or if Trump will, and I think the answer is that Trump will be making the decisions on any war which he embarks on in the coming term.  Notably, there is a precedent for Trump having done something similar to what I am describing here with his inexplicable appointment of  John Bolton in his first term.  Trump gave Bolton little if any heed, even as he used Bolton’s advocacy for war with Iran to intimidate Iran from taking any rash moves – and their nearly impotent response to Suleimani’s death demonstrated how effective hiring a War Hawk might be for Trump’s peace thru strength agenda.  Notably, war with Iran was and remains an unavoidable reality, unless an overt attempt at regime change is successfully employed.

Trump was elected on a platform of closing the border and bringing sanity back to US foreign policy but the early signs indicate Americans who voted for a man of peace could end up with a man of war.

Peloni:  In the wake of  criticisms being revisited over the continued monetized of accounts on X which promote antisemitism, several such accounts are now being demonetized.

Peloni: Peace thru strength requires the presence of, and willingness to, employ strength to establish peace.

Seth Frantzman tweeted the following in regards to news of Hamas’ bad faith negotiations:

Let’s be honest here. Hamas was told by its hosts and backers to keep the hostages. Hamas goal is to hold them for years maybe up to five or ten years releasing a few at a time. Their backers in Doha and Ankara have calculated that this will bring Hamas to power in the West Bank after Abbas passes. Hamas is laying the groundwork now with PIJ in Jenin, Tulkarm and other areas for this.

Israel has chosen to stay in Netzarim and Rafah but not remove Hamas from Gaza, a calculated approach that goes back to 2007. In this situation there is no pressure for a deal.
