PELONI: A truly moving commentary while reflecting upon October 7 from Simchat Torah three years later.

We finish the Torah with mourning and immediately go back to the beginning, refusing to let destruction have the final word
PELONI: It is an interesting phenomenon to hear claims that America is about to elect its own demise by willfully returning to the tragedy from which its fat has recently been saved from the fire in the last election. In a fair fight, there would be no contest, and yet, as managed expectations are being managed in the current election polls, the foreboding concern of another rigged election weighs ever present as the chief accomplishment set before Trump’s 2024 election remains yet to be obtained – the reestablishment of election integrity & accountability in America, and the simultaneous return of governance by the will of the people rather than by the will of those who control the election machines and the vote counting. Are we truly about to see a return of what followed the 2018 election? America, vote as if you very existence is at stake…because it is.
The only way to maintain constitutional liberty is for every conservative to vote against the Democrats, whom the DSA now owns lock, stock, and barrel.

The midterms will come down to turnout: Republicans versus communists. We can call Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) a minority organization led by loud agitators, but their ignorant followers are enthusiastic about bringing communism to the United States of America. Many DSA candidates happily admit this in interviews and at rallies.
PELONI: The rise of Jew Hatred around the world is having a retrograding effect upon the norms which the world has come to be accept as routine over the past decades. So, as we are returning to the eras in which our enemies have risen to destroy us in every age, we will nonetheless demonstrate our resolve to frustrate their efforts to do so. And even in doing so, it would seem that an element of providence has come to support us in our efforts, as the Fly Dubai Flight FZ1073 should have been a very serious victory for our enemies, and is instead, due to the coincident efforts of an Indian captain, a insightful passenger, and an extra set of pilots, a victory which we may very much claim as our own. Miracles indeed!

The terrifying mid-air assault aboard Fly Dubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30, 2026, serves as a chilling reminder that for Jewish travelers, the threat of annihilation remains an ever-present reality.
An attempted hijacking and terror attack took place aboard Fly Dubai Flight FZ1073, a commercial passenger airliner flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying approximately 150 to 180 passengers, a majority of whom are Israeli citizens. The incident ended safely with an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in northeastern Saudi Arabia after the attacker was successfully subdued mid-air. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] When an Omani co-pilot stabbed the aircraft’s captain and sent the Boeing 737 MAX into a catastrophic 14,000-foot plunge, it was only the swift heroism of Israeli passengers and off-duty crew members rushing the cockpit that prevented a 9/11-style mass tragedy.
PELONI: Why is Trump allowing this economic war against Israel to move forward unopposed with barely even a comment beyond his statement suggesting he would be looking into what is causing it. It has been nearly a month now since Britain announced the beginning salvo in this unwarranted and illegal economic war against Israel, and Trump’s failure to intervene calls to mind the legal motto of silence indicating consent, as he himself intercede in this illicit war being waged against Israel by the UK and its allies. America has a role to play in leading the world, as both the worlds’ military and economic superpower, but instead has remained silent, even as US companies have been exposed among the economic casualties of this war waged against Israel…

International opprobrium towards the presence of Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, commonly known as the West Bank, is discernibly shifting from rhetorical condemnation to economic and legal warfare.
PELONI: What goes unspoken in this interview is the horrifying implications which would have faced PM Netanyahu and gripped the entire nation as well as the world if the terrorist had successfully seized control of the Fly Dubai plane and had aimed it at either an Israeli or a Saudi target. G_d bless those who saved us all from such possibilities as the age of miracles continues.

PELONI: I think that even amid the cruel declaration personified by the return of terror to the airways, the world will likely continue to ignore the challenges which they have been pushing at Israel’s door as if the Jewish state was some form of petulant child, incapable of grasping the greater picture in which our survival and existence is not dependent upon their guidance or consent. Indeed, the actual child in the room remains those fools living at some distance as they act to fan the flames of infamy and insanity as has been demonstrated so well from many govts in the EU, particularly that emanating of Perfidious Albans, in condemning Jews for daring to live on Jewish land in the Jewish state. The complicity of these malefactors in backing the destruction of their own people should be evidence enough to support ignoring their temperamental fantasies weaponized to affect an end to the Jewish nation and the Jewish people, for whom they have nothing but crocodile tears and little else. Like the warriors who spontaneously acted without qualification or calculation in storming the cockpit of FZ10173, Israel will see to the sealing of its own fate, and as the falling nations of what was once the West act to delegitimize and sanction Israel with double standards and fake news, Israel should respond in kind by ending arms sales and key intelligence to these nations, something which has been taken for granted from Israel for far too long.

The Quran does not claim to be an ancient historical document; it claims to be the eternal, final, and perfect word of God for all of humanity until the end of time. Presentism is the philosophical idea that we should not judge historical figures or ancient societies by modern moral standards. The progressive left use this tool to contextualize primitive cultures pointing out a massive logical flaw when trying to apply it to orthodox Islam:

Once again, explosive headlines about “settler violence” raced around the world before Israelis were given the full story. Even Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a condemnation.
PELONI: Political correctness when applied to any model only acts to betray both reality and any related goals or objectives. As the effort to ignore the disparity between political Islam is applied amid Western interfaith dialogue, it only serves to support the Jihadist goals on which Islamism is based. A fair and honest dialogue can be the only basis on which the West might approach the East, and in failing to do so, they are simply opening themselves to a future reality which will see the liberties and freedoms of the West being lost to successive generations.

The podcast hosted by Dexter Van Zile for Focus on Western Islamism features scholar Tim Orr. In this discussion, Orr outlines how the events of October 7, 2023, completely dismantled the conventional assumptions surrounding Western interfaith dialogue. The broad systemic failure to confront radical ideology stems from structural blind spots, historical concessions, and institutional dynamics within religious and political spaces.

UPDATE: The stabbed pilot of the Flydubai flight hijacked by the co-pilot is an Indian, Captain Smit Machchhar.

Derek Caney’s report “Ed Sheeran expresses sympathy for both Jews and Palestinians at first tour stop since Macklemore was dropped” (online, Sept. 21) misses the point. That Sheeran “expressed sympathy for ‘centuries of Jewish pain’ while” talking about Gaza is not as important as the fact that this episode revealed Sheeran’s fundamental misunderstanding of Israel’s strategic and moral imperatives. Delivering what was clearly a prepared statement while attempting to pass it off as an off-the-cuff moment of reflection, Sheeran instead weaponized a deeply flawed anti-Jewish, anti-Israel narrative.

BRITAIN AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF COMPLICITY:
One of the most significant and documented flaws in the international legal order: asymmetric justice, where powerful nations use geopolitical leverage and media dominance to insulate themselves from accountability. Historically, global powers have effectively exempted themselves from the consequences of international law, and the media has frequently played a role in minimizing or burying state-sponsored atrocities.
PELONI: When evil speaks, it is important that you listen and react.
Nan Jacques Zilberdik | Pal Watch |
Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas’ advisor, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, endorses Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities and launch of war against Israel as “legal resistance, Jihad, and self-defense.” Al-Habbash has no problem with the massacre, the torture, the rape, the burning alive, and the murder of over 1,200 Israelis. That is all “a legal right” and “a sacred duty” because it is “resistance” to Israel. The only problem with Oct. 7 was the disastrous outcome for the Gazan population, which Al-Habbash calls “a sin:”
PELONI: How is this self-regulation different from agency capture, beyond eliminating the need of any ruse of having independent oversight removed entirely.
I understand the need to prevent China’s dominance in AI, but recall the concern for us all should be focused on verifying more than trusting those who are developing this world dominating technology, and self-regulation would seem to achieve the exact opposite of this.

Never in my career have I seen any President showcase the leadership of a single industry over and over, in this case, Artificial Intelligence. Trump has emerged as Technocrat-in-Chief, promoting the Arch-Technocrats’ agenda to spread AI throughout society, including in government and to blanket the nation with humongous data centers. None of this adds up today, but in due time we will see the end of the matter. In short, they are racing for the finish line to capture all humanity. – Patrick Wood, Editor.

PELONI: Living in the age of Lions, we see the strength, tenacity and resolve embeded within the people, something which became overwhelmingly evident following October 7, is once again affirmed by the actions of those heroes who saved themselves and untold others from being the latest reciept added to the long list sketched onto butcher bill of terror.

After a plane en route to Tel Aviv from Dubai sent an emergency signal before landing in Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk, Israel is treating the incident as a suspected terror attack, while working on bringing the around 180 passengers home in an air force plane.
PELONI: Yes, the IRGC is being crippled economically, and its allies in Iran and China are not able to stop this, but will economic collapse be enough to bring down the Iranian regime? Think about the situation in Iran with the metaphor of the frog sitting in a pot of boiling water in mind. Without a direct shock to their security system, ie attacking their leadership and/or their security infrastructure within the IRGC and Basij, I anticipate that this regime will remain fixed in place. So, yes, the Operation Economic Outcast is working, but will it be enough on its own to bring down the IRGC regime? I doubt it. Perhaps Trump is waiting til after the midterm to add this key kinetic aspect to his economic war, but if he doesn’t do so, is it likely the IRGC regime will collapse? Well, time will tell…
