Perspectives Paper No. 2,336, March 13, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Hamas seeks to end the war while maintaining its military control over Gaza, mirroring Hezbollah’s pre-war dominance in Lebanon. Israel must not allow this to happen, even if Egypt pushes for it.
Peloni: It is important to understand the similarity between the views held by Davis and those expressed by Gabbard prior to her joining the Trump bandwagon. Indeed, Davis’ pro-Pal, pro-Iran, anti-Trump positions, complete with the full support of the TSS all hallmarked Gabbard’s prior advocacy, which should inform us as to her reasons for picking Davis for this vital role on her staff. It would be best if the Trump administration took note of this fact as being more relevant than accidental, as Gabbard could hardly be unaware of Davis’ perspective which mimicked that of Gabbard’s own perspective for a very long time. It is also curious, if not revealing, that one day before this story broke, Gabbard went on a multi-nation Indo-Pacific trip abroad. Prior to Gabbard’s confirmation, I questioned, Why is Gabbard’s Judgement So Bad, and Why is it So Relevant. It seems that her highly significant and highly sensitive position leading the DNI has not improved her judgement, and notably, it remains quite relative to her ability to fulfil the obligations of this significant position, something which I also noted previously.

Peloni: Notice Trump is not just holding the Houthis accountable for their attack on international shipping, but he is also directly threatening Iran as well for their support of the Houthis. Something which has been long overlooked, and continues to be overlooked with threats and condemnations of Hamas and Hezbollah. Victory over any and all of these terror proxies requires addressing the source of these proxies, which of course is Iran.

If you learned about the Alien and Sedition Acts in school, you probably took in the liberal position that they were an unconstitutional abuse of authority by an administration that was abusing its power.
The reality, as I discuss in my book, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, they were a response to persistent efforts by France to hijack American politics by using radical activists, fake news and riots, conspiracies involving members of Congress. French agents went on to create a network of ‘Democratic Societies’ to act as their agents which ultimately blended into the Democratic-Republican Party.

Of the many challenges facing Israel, the most immediate is to ensure the release of all the hostages being held in Gaza and remove Hamas from power. But our highest priority must be denying Iran – whose rogue regime denies Israel’s right to exist – the capability to produce nuclear weapons.
As a former brigadier general in the Israel Defense Forces who has followed Iran’s nuclear program since its inception, I am encouraged by President Donald Trump’s efforts to negotiate an agreement that will end any risk of Iran building or acquiring nuclear weapons. But if U.S. efforts to stop Iran’s nuclear program by nonmilitary means do not succeed within a few months, military action may be required.
Excerpt from The Book “Holy-War: Rome and The Jews” [Also known as “Ben Hur II – Exile”
Joseph Shellim
The Roman war with the Jews did not end in 73. The exiled Jews battled Rome in the Diaspora, culminating in the Kitos War of 115-117. A third war occurred with the Bar Kokhba Revolt in the years 132-136, the Jews’ struggle for Jerusalem continuing into the second century. In the year 135 CE, a new king rose up in Rome who knew not Israel. Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, known as Emperor Hadrian, sets out on yet a final achievement of Roman glory, one following the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple fortress.
As Iranian regime inches closer to its desired doomsday weapon, the rationale for a countervailing triaxial alliance between the US, Israel and Azerbaijan has never been more compelling

“When a wise man hears of the Tao, he immediately embraces it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he ignores it. When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he mocks it. If he did not mock it, it wouldn’t be the Tao.”
Tao Te Ching (Ancient Chinese philosophical text) – Verse 41
The landslide victory of Donald Trump in the November 2024 elections set the proverbial cat among pigeons. Suddenly, things that previously appeared totally impossible—or at best, highly improbable—look increasingly feasible.

Descriptor: The most humane solution to the war in Gaza is so obvious that no one will talk about it.
Imagine for a minute (well, reflect on it for an hour, say), that you are a UN-appointed negotiator for a key conflict in the Middle East. It has been going on for several decades in a hypothetical place called “Germanaza.” Over that time several terrorist incidents have occurred, as have several retaliations, and this has resulted in much loss of life.

Tradition on-line
Purim is almost here: Thursday night, Friday, and then Sunday for Shushan Purim (observed in ancient walled cities).
The messages it carries – as we read and consider the Megillat Ester – are particularly vital this year.
Linda Goudsmit: Igal Hecht’s film “The Killing Roads” is an essential documentary that records and archives the horrific massacre and savage brutalization of 1200 Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. What Igal Hecht’s film and his interview do not documment, however, is the inconvenient truth that October 7th could never have happened without the treasonous participation of Israeli leftists inside Israel. NEVER AGAIN is an empty slogan without acknowledging this cruel and unusual fact. In America as in Israel, the enemy within is always the most dangerous. Until they are stopped, the globalist elite will continue funding and fomenting its leftist collaborators to wage War on America in America, and wage War on Israel in Israel AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Every horror, every burned-out car, every bullet-ridden body, from the moment the attack began.” — Igal Hecht.

The hypocritical world community is perpetually hostile to the reconstituted Jewish state over its seeming temerity to be rebuilding and restoring its ancestral and Biblical homeland. This time it is convulsed with utterly illegitimate charges of Israel “stealing” land from Syria on the Golan Heights. But let us look into who truly has the undeniable historic and spiritual claim to the territory from time immemorial.
Peloni: It is important to recognize that Israel stands alone as a spot of civilization among barbarian forces. Syria has been, and remains to be, a failed state, ruled by representatives of these barbarians, and yet as the world continues to restrain, debase and literally indict Israel as it defends itself against these barbarian forces, the Alawites demonstrate the regional clarity that Israel alone might act as their saviors. Unfortunately for the Alawites, the Syrian coast is a bridge too far for Israel to stretch its dominance, and while recognizing this fact as likely so, the Alawites call upon their historic adversary to the South to save them from destruction all the same.

Now, after two days of mass murders of Alawite civilians — between 1,500 and 4,000 have been killed, according to Alawite sources — Ahmed al-Sharaa has declared that his army will find and punish those responsible. The Alawites don’t believe these assurances, and they are in a state of panic. And some are hoping that the country they have been taught for their entire lives to hate — Israel — will come to their aid. That is unlikely to happen, but the fact that Alawites dare to hope for such a result is telling: they know the Israelis are not the monsters they were depicted as being in Syrian schoolbooks and in the Syrian media. It is their fellow Muslims who have been slaughtering them, not the soldiers of the Jewish state.
Peloni: The Left have lost there way so badly that they never give us an opportunity to forget just how badly they are lost.

Canada’s new Liberal leader, Mark Carney, soon to be sworn in as unelected prime minister, bemoans the plight of Gazans, now without electricity. But he doesn’t even mention the name Israel. Rather, he calls on Canada to “work with our allies to stand up for international law to promote sustainable peace and security in the Middle East and to support full access to humanitarian aid for Palestinian families.” So he’s calling for international allies to put pressure on Israel in a rather sneaky fashion, with no mention whatsoever that it is the fault of Hamas, which continues to use Palestinians as human shields. Carney also does not state why Israel cut electricity. It was to pressure Hamas to release the hostages held in Gaza.

What future can we see in the light of history – “experimental politics”?
To answer this question, we will have to take a brief historical excursion to the Middle East, the cradle of civilization.
We will compare two epochs: the epoch before the Muslim ruling and the present one.

There are Holocaust-deniers, who claim that accounts of the Nazi genocide are all a hoax. There are October 7 deniers, who say that Hamas did not commit any atrocities during its 2023 invasion. Now it seems that a new type of denier is emerging—the Bibas deniers.
