On January 20th and 21st, President Donald Trump took two actions that were so conflicting that the second nullified the gains of the first. Worse, it boosts the Great Reset advanced by the global elite and may herd Americans into the sort of digital gulag in which communist China confines its citizens.
Peloni: Qatar is a state sponsor of terror. Having business ties to state sponsors of terror should be scorned by one and all. Such connections, while potentially lucrative, should be disqualifying for anyone seeking higher office or political appointment. Doing so would render Qatar’s influence, if not mute, more mute than it stands today where significant areas of interest of the US govt are being entrusted to people who did not view such connections as being enanthema. With the obvious recognition that personnel makes policy, the outlook for Qatari influence over the Trump administration is quite worrisome as demonstrated by Witkof’s suggestion that Qatari leadership should be venerated with the Nobel Peace Prize, which is a rather disgusting and disquieting insight into his perspective of Qatar’s well known role in sponsoring terror.
Peloni: Turkey’s radical Sunni axis is extending its dominance over Iran’s radical Shia axis in the border area of Lebanon, even as it has yet to consolidate its power in Syria, and more likely because it hasn’t consolidated its power in Syria. The outcome of this battle between these rival Jihadi powers will decide which will come to challenge Israel’s dominance and survival in the coming years.
A little history on intra-Arab and intra-Muslim conflicts in the recent past:
The war in Yemen between the Royalists, backed by Saudi Arabia, and the Republicans, backed. by Egypt, took place between 1962 and 1970, with most of the fighting over by the mid-1960s. In this war, Egypt sent tens of thousands of troops to Yemen, and the Egyptians suffered major losses in both men and weaponry. This left Egypt’s military in a weakened state when Nasser decided to make war on Israel in mid-May 1967.
Peloni: Cordial meeting between Trump and Abdullah where Trump maintains that not only will Jordan and Egypt take the Gazans, but that their will be a “parcel of land” from both Jordan and Egypt where the Pals of Gaza will be relocated. Contrasting to this declaration, Abdullah deflects by making the gesture of accepting 2000 seriously ill children and referencing a future meeting in Saudi Arabia “to discuss how we can work with the president”. Trump follows up by explaining that he is aware of “pretty much what will be presented” and that the “it’s going to be magnificent for the Palestinians. They are going to be in love with it, I did very well with real estate…they are going to be in love with it”.
Peloni: The path which led to October 7 and the attempt to force Israel to stand down against the existential threats attacking her was the cumulation of divisions within the Jewish people, both within Israel and within the US. Indeed, the consequences of these misjudged movements saw the attack on the Gaza envelope to be broadened into an attack against Jews throughout the Diaspora as well. The contrasting unity which saw individuals marching to the defense of the Otef on October 7, as well as the historic rise in voluntary enlistment in the IDF from Jews within Israel and from around the world, demonstrated the reality that Jewish unity around the resolve to survive, both as a people and a nation. It also marked the defiance of Jewish youths in the US to demand accountability for official sanctioning of antisemitism on US campuses. It is this unity of spirit which will preserve both the Jewish people as well as the Jewish State, and any call to divide the resolve for such unity should be shown the scorn of society as being the leadership of Meshugana as Block describes so well.
It made sense at the time. And while the situation is very complicated right now, it still does.

U.S. President Donald Trump might be surprised to learn that long before he proposed moving Arabs from Gaza to Jordan, Yitzhak Rabin recommended the exact same thing.
On August 23, 2011, I wrote an article in Israel National News titled, The Philadelphi Corridor; Take it back and very soon.
Now in the year 2025 I am filled with a mixture of anger and deep anguish for I knew 14 years ago that a terrible mistake by Israel was taking place and that it might result in a national future tragedy. And so it did when on October 7, 2023 Hamas monsters invaded Israel and committed a barbaric massacre of 1,200 Jews, a horrific crime not committed since the Holocaust.
President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Gaza’s Palestinians relocate to Jordan and Egypt on a “short term or long term” basis has been dismissed as diplomatically “unprecedented.”
Peloni: With the collapse of the Surrender Deal with Hamas, the question remains how Israel will deal with the Hezbollah threat from the North, which will not be countered by the Hezbollah allied, if not controlled, LAF. Hezbollah must be disarmed by the terms of the deal with Hezbollah, but true to form adopted over the past decades, even under Trump’s first term, their is always little interest in dealing with Hezbollah as if they are the Iranian proxy terror army which is beyond dispute. As Badran explains, the pretense regarding the situation in the North is untenable, but continuing.
Inevitably acting as the Lebanese’s lawyers, Morgan Ortagus and Gen. Jasper Jeffers (head of Amos Hochstein’s monitoring mechanism) are compelling Israel to withdraw from Lebanon by Feb 18 (right before Hezbollah’s planned funeral ceremony for Nasrallah), even as the IDF is still… https://t.co/YrieRY01o1pic.twitter.com/slDVIsiYM8
Peloni: The call to keep the Pals of Gaza in Gaza is simply the desire to maintain them as a weaponized vehicle against Israel. This was the purpose and effect of the creation of UNRWA and also the reason why there has been so much advocacy for the preservation of Hamas and Hezbollah. This is both intolerable and unacceptable. Of course, the weaponization of the Gazans against Israel has been quite successful over the years, which is why the rogues which still support holding these well designed tools of Jewish destruction in place where they might effect the long sought prospect of eliminating the Jewish State once and for all.
President Trump has expressed his hope to improve the lives of the Palestinians in Gaza, once the rubble has been removed and the infrastructure rebuilt, with the money for both that rubble removal and that rebuilding coming from the rich Arab states of the Gulf. He envisions turning the Strip, with its long beachfront of golden sands on the Mediterranean coast, into a future “Riviera.” This trial balloon has been greeted with ridicule in the West, and with condemnation from the Arabs. But the British historian Andrew Roberts thinks Trump’s plan, which would require the displacement of most of the Gazans, who should not have to endure living in what would become a huge construction site, has historical precedents, and should not be dismissed out of hand. More of Andrew Roberts’ history lesson can be found here: “The Historical Case for Trump’s Riviera,” by Andrew Roberts, Washington Free Beacon, February 8, 2025:
The terrorist group is continuing to try to decide – internally – if it has the upper hand. It clearly tried to show that it was victorious in Gaza. It has been mocking Israel, mocking the IDF units that fought in Gaza, and mocking the claims of Israeli politicians of “total victory.”
Peloni: More than just the UN, this move to end aid to Saana, and the international silence which accompanies it, demonstrates the world’s hypocrisy as international protests against Israel and criminal indictments against Netanyahu persist even while Israel has been forced to feed, house, and care for its enemies which have been starving and torturing their Israeli captives.
Beyond the open duplicity exposed by the criminal UN, this latest move to seize captives by another of Iran’s proxies demonstrates the consequence of the Witkof Surrender Deal forced on Israel. Appeasing and feeding terrorists is not a solution, it is a continued element of the problem which began long ago. The only negotiation which should be considered following such hostage taking is to the number of bombs which will be dropped before troops are sent in to recover the hostages. Instead, the motto of ‘Never negotiate with terrorists’ has been replaced with ‘Always surrender to terrorists’ and this has to end.
? BREAKING!
In a stunningly hypocritical move, the UN announced today that they are freezing all aid in the Yemeni capital of Saana due to the Houthis continuing to "detain" UN workers.
Around 3.3 million people live in Sanaa where 1000's are suffering from famine.
Peloni: Another brilliant analysis by Dr. Pandavar. The way to conquer the barbarians is not with the cultured niceties of the civilized world, but with the ferocity and onslaught which should be undertaken by any society which is faced so badly threatened and abused by those who have made war on Israel. Total war with the aims of achieving total submission of the enemy is what has been needed in this war, and remains the only strategy not yet pursued.
Choose not to fight in a psychological war, and choose to be psychologically destroyed. Those men were not starved so badly that they now look like Holocaust survivors; they were meant to look like Holocaust survivors, which why they were starved so badly.
Giulio Rosati, Inspection of New Arrivals, 1858–1917, Circassian beauties. Some Israelis speak of their family members being sold in Gaza as being “sold”. No, the were actually, literally, legally, commercially sold. Shari’a allows for captives to be: executed; sold as slaves; exchanged for prisoners in enemy captivity; or held as hostages to be ransomed for money.
On 19, 25 and 30 January, and on 1 and 8 February 2025, the people of Israel were subjected to major psychological attacks in the form of the drip-feed release of captives, accompanied by maximum wearing down of Israelis both during and before the “releases”. The saddest aspect of all this is not even that the Israelis are not engaging in this psychological war, but that the people of Israel seem completely unaware that this is being done to them.
Peloni: Deadline Noon Saturday for complete hostage release, or let Hell rain down upon them.
? PRESIDENT TRUMP: “If all of the hostages are not returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock, I would say cancel it and all bets are off… All of them. Not in drips and drabs.” pic.twitter.com/MozJATMKRy
Linda Goudsmit: This is the most powerful article I have ever read documenting the humanitarian hoax of “the Palestinian People.” Its most important quote highlighted in red below should be repeated ad nauseum by every Israeli citizen, every Israeli politician, every Jew around the world, and the U.S. Trump administration regarding Gaza. Knowledge really is power, and the fiction of the “Palestinian People” has been used for decades to advance the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya (lying in the service of Islam) and Islam’s genocidal doctrinal commitments to the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people, who really do exist!
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.” — Senior PLO official Zuheir Mohsen, interviewed by James Dorsey, Trouw, March 31, 1977.
