From state-backed publications and international broadcasting to diplomatic summits, legal proceedings and trade restrictions, Ankara has developed a coordinated institutional campaign to amplify its criticism of Israel worldwide.

In February 2020, three and a half years before the October 7 attack and the war that followed, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an arrived in Pakistan carrying an unusual diplomatic gift. President Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan were presented with a book titled Occupation of the Century: Palestine under the Shadow of Unilateral Plans. It had been produced in Turkish, English and Arabic by the Turkish presidency’s Directorate of Communications.

PELONI:  So long as the Jihadi state of Iran is allowed to survive, its proxy domination of the region will survive as well because the IRGC regime in Tehran requires the sacrifice of these foreign fighters as the grist in Iran’s war with the West.  They don’t trust their own population, and by using the indoctrinated proxies the war is kept at arms length with enough of a claim of deniability so as to allow the West to cling to the myth of being deceived.  In fact, the West’s hopes of seeing an end to war is what will sustain the war with Iran which they are to both ignoring and losing in the same moment.

• Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ] Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhala declared that it would remain committed to “the path of jihad and resistance,” which would continue “by all possible means,” as long as the “Zionist project” remains on supposedly Palestinian land.

On October 4, the UK Green Party passed a reckless resolution. It declared Zionism a form of racism, demanded an end to all arms sales to Israel, and endorsed eliminating Israel as a Jewish state. Wrapped in high-minded language, the party claimed: “The Green Party is an anti-racist party and has consistently opposed the illegal occupation of both Palestinian and Syrian land, [and] called for an end to arms sales to the Israeli government ….”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing renewed criticism after releasing a statement on the third anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that condemns the “horrific war crimes” while also accusing the Israeli government of committing “genocide” in response.

UPDATE:  Axios’ reports that IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Zamir warned the Trump administration that if strikes took place in the next three weeks, Israel would have to delay its election.  Subsequent to this report Trump has announced that there will be no resumption of the war prior to the elections in Israel or the US.

PELONI:  So as the drums of war are once again being sounded, are we to believe that war is imminent before the coming elections in Israel and the US, or is this more gunboat diplomacy to support Vance’s term even after the Iranians have once again proven an inability to moderate even their rhetoric?  Time will tell.

The U.S. military in the Middle East is reportedly preparing to resume fighting against the Iranian regime, even as oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have risen steadily in recent weeks, at times surpassing pre-war levels.

PELONI:  Magnificent speech beaconing a return of the West to marshal their own success, to guard their own borders and to return a sense of sovereignty of nations as related to the roots of its heritage.  As the world looks forward, it must maintain the vision, aspirations and connections to the source of the traditions and values on which they were founded, and that source for all of this is to ancient Greece as well as ancient Israel.  With this in mind, it would have been an important point to have at least mentioned the Judeo Christian values of Western Civilization, which are no where mentioned in this otherwise exceptional speech.

The Secretary of State brought a much-needed and refreshingly bold defense of the west.  His speech was one for the ages. It reminds me of Ayn Rand’s brilliant exposition on America.

PELONI:  The near encompassing need to condemn the “settlers” for violent acts seems to forever precede any investigation into who did what to whom.  Indeed, it is an abuse of reasonable debate to presume the guilt of these Jewish pioneers simply because they are Jewish, and yet this is exactly what is taking place, from Ambassador Huckabee describing a security guard driving down a road as a terrorist to the head of the Shin Bet threatening to reinstitute administrative detention, this rush to judge the Jew as guilty has obvious friends of Israel and responsible Israeli leaders making false statements based on assumed facts which lack any measure of credible investigation.  This is a disgraceful trend which has the image of Lucy pulling the football from beneath those who should be more circumspect about assuming Jews are guilty of commiting wanton violence in lands where Arab terrorism is not just present but is the very basis on which the Arabs are present on the land.  These acts of irresponsible rush to judgement against the settler community must be ended.

The latest Oct 7 report from Haaretz on Netanyahu is outrageous and highlights how the paper is competing as the worst Jew-hating antisemitic propaganda ever, just as bad as Gobbles, Hitler’s propaganda officer.

PELONI:  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki argues that the U.S. was right to waive the human-rights conditions on $320 million in military aid to Egypt because, despite Egypt’s severe repression, maintaining American leverage over Cairo is strategically important—particularly regarding Gaza and preventing Egypt from falling further into China’s orbit. He emphasizes that this is a choice between “bad and worse”: continued U.S. engagement keeps Egypt tied to American military systems and gives Washington leverage, whereas cutting aid could push the repressive regime closer to China.  What goes unaddressed is the fact that Trump has failed to use his leverage over Egypt as it has ignored the troop buildup in the Sinai, hostile threats toward Israel, and refused to play any role in removing the Gazans from the war zone in Gaza… So it beacons the question of who is leveraging influence with whom…

PELONI:  I was greatly disappointed that it took a month for this announcement to be made by the Trump administration.  There is no good faith basis on which these economic sanctions have been raised against Israel and permitting such an economic war to be raised by Western democracies is unprecedented under international law, as it is focused against the only democratic nation in the Middle East, thus revealing more about those nations raising these measures.  Good to see the US finally making this clear to its earstwhile European allies.

The U.S. has threatened retaliatory sanctions, including trade tariffs, against Britain, France, Norway and other allies over their coordinated economic boycotts and import bans on Israeli settlements of Judea and Samaria.

The threat was issued at a Trump administration briefing…

Before too long, if Minnesota continues on its present path, the jihad against Jews and other non-Muslims will become a matter of state action, not of freelance jihadis. As the left continues to vote for multiculturalism and diversity, it is unwittingly signing the death warrant of a society based on tolerance and mutual respect.

PELONI:  What a frightening statistic belying failure in the West to focus on morality over equity.  Not all values are equivalent, and equalizing such barbaric practices as are included in Sharia law defies not only morality, but critical thinking as well.  Is it really possible that the youth of America are as lost as this statistic suggests…

Alarming reports have circulated about U.S. Muslim leaders advocating Sharia implementation, where their “speeches reveal calls to replace American legal system with Islamic governance and expand Muslim representation in Congress.” According to polls, 40% of the Muslim population in the U.S. would support the implementation of Sharia. But a new poll finds a disturbing trend among young Americans, that they support the Sharia in even greater numbers than Muslims themselves. “Poll: 4 In 10 Young Americans Support Sharia Law,” by Sarah Lee,  The Federalist, October 6, 2026:
