Peloni:  Having good security is important, but so too is exercising the right of self defense til security or authorities arrive, at least in those jurisdictions in which such a thing as armed self defense is allowed.  Notably, among thousands of attendees with police present, no meaningful resistance was provided for a prolonged period of time, safe the unarmed Maronite Christian who was himself shot while disarming one of the terrorists.  Importantly, the death toll just rose to 16, and it is likely going to go higher.  Had any one of the thousands of pedestrians been armed at this Hannukah festival, how many of these dead might have been saved.  Unfortunately, it was in Australia, where apparently only the terrorists carry weapons. Well trained, disciplined, and armed citizens is the best early protection system available.  It has the distinct benefit of potentially saving many many lives, and simultaneously acts as a distinct deterrent, even to terrorists who want to kill many people before they are themselves neutralized.

Communities need to help assure the security of holy places

The horrible events on Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia on December 14th, where 12 were killed and 29 wounded, by at least two gunmen, illustrates the level of threat to the Jewish community in Australia and globally.

A friend of ours, Arsem Ostrovsky, a hero in the fight against antisemitism, was seriously wounded on the beach where the local Chabad community was hosting the event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah (the Festival of Lights).

US President Donald Trump may believe that selling F-35 stealth warplanes to Turkey will help the country forge closer ties with the US at the expense of Russia. The reality, though, is that by providing such sophisticated fighter jets to a country that supports Hamas terrorists — and whose president recently said that “Israel will have no choice but to kneel in front of Turkey” — Trump is merely stoking the flames of a future war aimed at destroying Israel.

Is there a connection between anti-Israelism and antisemitism? It’s a question worth asking in the wake of the massacre of Jews in Australia.

Peloni:  This is an important video.  Mansur Ashkar, an Israeli Druze journalist, exposes the subterfuge being presented in pretending that the attack on the US did not come from within the power echelon of the Syrian govt.  Reports of subsequent attacks on the Syrian govt can not explain away the connection between the assailant who shot 6 Americans while found repeatedly photographed in the company and surrounding entourage of the US adopted Syria president.

Peloni:  Graphic footage included.  Viewer Discretion.

During a Hanukkah celebration attended by approximately 2,000 members of Sydney’s Jewish community at Bondi Beach, Australia, two armed terrorists opened fire on the crowd, resulting in multiple casualties. Eyewitnesses reported hearing shouts of “Allah Akbar” during the assault, though this has yet to be confirmed. Disturbing footage and reports indicate that police were initially unable to confront the gunmen, as officers on the scene were unarmed, something which has sparked public criticism.

One courageous unarmed onlooker was seen tackling one of the shooters and successfully disarmed while being captured on video. The other attacker was reportedly killed.

The latest reports indicate that 10 victims in total have been killed, and that 11 others were injured, including two police officers. 

Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar has made a statement condemning the Australian govt for the incitement and growing antisemitism which we have all witnessed building over the past two years.  For my own thoughts, FM Sa’ar is being far too restrictive in his condemnation of those who gave rise to the growth, toleration, and support of the managed campaign of Jew Hatred which spread across the globe beginning with the occasion of the Simchat Torah Massacre and Jew Ransoming which took place on October 7.  Will this new Jewish Bloodletting on the First Night of Hannukah at Bondi Beach bring with it a renewed sense of zeal and passion for the demonization, and delegitimization and double standards for the world’s Jewry?  We have many enemies, whose immense wealth has come to attract the most powerful men in the world, among whom, too many have willfully played a role in the aftermath of October 7, culminating in the slaughter on Bondi Beach.

Praying for all those at Bondi Beach which was hosting a Jewish event for the first night of Hanukkah.
Enough.

Peloni:  It seems that it has been judged by the US that the assailant who killed three Americans and wounding another three was actually acting against the Syrian govt.  Interestingly, the Syrian govt apparently knew the terrorist harbored Islamist ideologies, yet it was somehow inexplicably deemed that neutralizing such an impending threat could simply wait until after the weekend.   The assumption by the US that this is merely a case of gross incompetence on the part of America’s newly minted ally in Syria, however, fails to explain or even consider the importance of Jolani’s recent comments describing America as the true terrorist in the region.  Coming from a presumably ‘reformed’ terrorist, these words by themselves should be understood to be, not just alarming, but also revealing as to Jolani’s current frame of mind, if nothing else.  The fact that these words came just hours before a member of Jolani’s armed forces gunned down a half dozen Americans would seem highly relevant, yet not so relevant as to have Trump change his continued reverence for Jolani, which has previously withstood the test of Jolani’s armed forces having carried out repeated acts of slaughter against Syrian minorities over the past six months.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that “two U.S. service members and one U.S. civilian were killed, and three service members were injured, as a result of an ambush by a lone ISIS [Islamic State] gunman in Syria” on December 13 in the area of Palmyra in Syria’s Homs Governorate. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the attacker was a member of the Syrian security forces. A Syrian official confirmed this status and stated that the attacker had been “under investigation” for “extremist ideas” while denying that he held a leadership position in the security forces.

Peloni:  What goes unspoken in this article is the impossibility which faces the colonialist Hashemite regime.  Not only is it their policy to radicalize their people against Israel, but that policy is entirely tied to the Hashemite’s regime’s own survival.  As the most recent member of a line of usurping overlords, Abdullah has greater interest in seeing to it that the Jordanian people remain fixated on their hatred of their Israeli neighbors.  By doing so he prevents attention being focused on the domestic subjugation of the Jordanians by an illegitimate monarch, who has little affection for his people and has over the years gained himself no respect in return.  In this light, it becomes clear why Abdullah’s wife began the latest of her outrageous blood libels against Israel just 3 days before October 7, curiously enough, and has since attempted to deny the well documented mass sexual assaults which took place that day, later describing these acts of savagery and barbarism as resistance instead of the horrors which they certainly were.  What is more, the continued support for radicalism in Jordan likewise persists towards this purpose of spreading and maintaining radicalism among the Jordanian people so as to keep their coordination with the monarchy in place.  Radicalism and Jew Hatred are a key policy solution to Abdullah’s domestic difficulties, making it near impossible for him to resist the attempt to rile the Jordanian masses on any point possible against Israel, including the Border Fence which is intended to keep the Jew Hating Muslim Brotherhood proponents out of Israel.

Israel’s jihadi enemies remain dedicated to ritual violence and corollary conceptualizations of terror as religious sacrifice. No awareness of this can be found in Trump’s plan for regional peace.

By LOUIS RENÉ BERES | DECEMBER 11, 2025

Proudly, on repeated occasions, US President Donald Trump has declared the final destruction of Hamas and a trouble-free era of regional peace.

Aside from being factually incorrect on multiple levels (e.g., Hamas forces are already re-establishing themselves in Gaza, and Trump’s promised international stabilization force would be drawn largely from Israel’s enemies), the American president misses a larger point: Hamas is merely the most visible expression of a much deeper ideology. This embedded system of belief links “religious sacrifice” to the presumed conquest of personal death.

Noa Marciano was a 19-year-old Israeli girl from Modi’in, a corporal in the 414th Battalion in the Border Guard Corps. Hamas kidnapped her from the IDF base at Kibbutz Nahal Oz when its terrorists stormed it during the October 7 massacre. In captivity, she was tortured, starved, subject to sexual assaults. And finally, an Arab doctor murdered her in a way that is reminiscent of Dr. Mengele. The murder was videotaped; Hamas was proud of what it had done.

Peloni:  Failing to appreciate and react to the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood which is insidiously invading the US will only serve to add to its great success in conquering it from within.  The transnational nature of this corrupting, violent and subjugating anti-Western ideology and organization requires that it be assessed correctly as a threat to both the Western world and Western culture from every aspect of its various iterations.  The ready access of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US only serves to pervert the West against itself.  The influence of this anti-American ideological organization must be ripped out root, branch and leaf.  The act of removing only those elements which are conveniently untethered to the corruption of the West will allow it to grow with a festering effect til it has consumed America entirely, just as it is currently consuming Europe.

On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order to consider designating chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon as terrorist organizations, due to their involvement in violence and destabilization efforts that harm the region as well as U.S. interests.[1] Against this backdrop, journalists and liberals in the Arab world published articles praising the decision, viewing it as a sign of international recognition of the threat posed by the MB. They regarded it as a positive and necessary first step, given that the organization is responsible for extensive bloodshed and is the nucleus from which many terrorist groups,  including Al-Qaeda and ISIS, emerged.[2]

Peloni:  Why is it that election integrity efforts in the US are still being championed by non governmental organizations, patriots good and true, yet they lack the authority, reach and effect of federal investigative power.  Furthermore, so long as these efforts are abandoned to such groups as PILF and Judicial Watch lack any ability to effect accountability on the criminal activity which led to the 2020 stolen elections.  Where is the FBI and where is the DOJ??  Election integrity was a major theme in Trump’s 2024 election victory.  So where are investigations, indictments, prosecutions and convictions for the greatest crime in US history.  If there is no investigation and no accountability, it must be understood that the crimes committed against the American people in 2020 were not really criminal.
