In an very interesting conversation, Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Dan Schueftan and Mike Doran join Tikvah’s Dan Silver as they discuss Yanarocak’s recent article deascribing Turkey’s rising threat to Israel in the region, replacing that of Iran.  In this discussion based analysis, with little distinction between them, the arguments of Schueftan and Cohen Yanarocak align very well with Doran expressing that the general atmosphere which supports their views fails to be supported by a detailed look at Turkey’s motivations, while all three men agree that Washington is badly needed to broker a quiet in the relationship between Turkey and Israel, even as Washington continues to appear to have no interest in doing so.

PELONI:  When you are faced with a constant state of siege, it teaches the need for adopting and acting upon a personal sense of agency, a responsibility for all happens around you. This is why increasing the abilty of Jews to act in their own defense has always been a vital aspect of Jewish life, both in Israel and in the Diaspora.  It is also why the one thing which strike abject terror into the minds of our enemies is a Jew who actually able to defend themselves.  Furthermore, it is also why so many object to Israel, why it is so necessary to act to deligitimize, to dehumanize and to apply double standards to both Jews and the Jew Nation of the world.

In Bob Goldberg’s insightful article below, he touches the real state of affairs when he states that

“Allies are welcome, and institutions should be held to their word. But responsibility for Jewish safety was never anyone else’s. It is ours alone.”

On Simchat Torah, as we mark three years since this holiday celebrating the Torah and Jewish learning was scarred with the rigors of war slaughter and the greatest organized slaughter of our people since the Holocaust, it is important to grasp the fact that acting upon a sense of personal agency is how we survived October 7, how we will survive whatever rigors are coming next, and how we will once again smite our enemies with a terrible vengeance which can not be expressed in any way more terrible than to thrive in the wake of their assaults, which is exactly what is taking form today.

What Israelis on flydubai FZ1073 and MIT can teach American Jews about courage

Bob Goldberg | Sep 30, 2026

Today we read that the gulf based Arab airline that was unable to protect more than one hundred Israeli men, women and children tourists from a Jihadi pilot whose actual job was to fly them home from their trip to the Arab emirate of Dubai, will receive 500,000 Shekels each as compensation for their near-death experience, one that was only halted by the heroic intervention of Israeli passengers with IDF combat experience.

PELONI:  While it is reasonable that Washington would want its man in Bagdad to succeed, it is relevant to note that a September 30 deadline to disarm the local paramilitary groups, most specifically the Iranian backed groups, has passed with the only effect so far being among minority groups such as the Yazidis.  So, with the delay of disarming Iran’s brute sqauds in Iran already being accepted, and adding to that the continued flights between Iran and Iraq to satisfy a ‘religious’ waiver, the question arises as to when Washington’s man in Bagdad is going to begin to deliver on its commitments of establishing its sovereignty in its own country.

Iraq has received another carve out in Iran-related sanctions.

After U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that “all the Iranian airlines will be shut down around the world,” all flights between Iraq and Iran were suspended by September 25. However, the U.S. Treasury has now issued a license to Iraqi Airways permitting flights between Iran and Najaf, a Shiite holy city in Iraq, until October 28, with the possibility of a permanent waiver.

A new study concludes that there is no evidence to support the charges of “apartheid” and “genocide” that are continuously made against the Jewish state: “Israel not conducting genocide, not guilty of apartheid, new academic study shows,” by Alex Carson, Jerusalem Post, September 28, 2026:

PELONI:  There can be no peace so long as the Arab cleft remains in Judea & Samaria because their stated purpose for being there is to wreak havoc on the Jews and to conquer the nation of Israel.  Support for foreign whims and domestic lunacy are all that maintains this threat in place, and in doing so, the threat from these would be emulators of October 7 is growing rather than reducing with time.

Any policy proposal for Gaza that does not entail large-scale population removal is merely a variant of previously tried and failed formulas of autonomy and/or Oslo.

Ever since Israel’s injudicious abandonment in 2005 of Gaza to Palestinian-Arab control, the Gaza Strip has stubbornly defied resolution. Ever since the imbecilic Oslo Accords in 1993, the dominant paradigm, forged by the dictates of political correctness, has been that, sooner or later, the political process must culminate in some form of self-rule of the coastal enclave by some Palestinian-Arab entity.
