The most straightforward jihadism to deal with is the Islamic Republic of Iran.

How do America, Israel and the moderate Muslim nations who share the common interest of advancing security and prosperity in the region shape the Middle East? It begins by acknowledging the fundamental problem of the area is jihadism, whether of the Iranian Shi’ite variety or the Muslim Brotherhood Sunni variation, with all its permutations ranging from ISIS to Hamas to Al-Qaeda to Turkey and Qatar.

Peloni:  It is vital that Trump succeed in bringing about his Golden Age.  The world has looked to America for leadership and support and this need has for too long been answered by corruption and misgovernance.  The consequence of this malfeasance has been multifaceted, including manufactured plagues and unending needless wars.  The slaughters must be ended, but they must be ended in such a way that consent of the governed and equality under the law is finally returned to the civilized world which is still governed by the primacy of nation states.

President Donald Trump declared a new “golden age” in America as he promised to undue former President Joe Biden’s policies during his Monday inaugural speech inside the Capitol Rotunda.

Peloni:  I have warned previously that Russia has no interest in agreeing to a frozen conflict.  In fact, Russia has always remained focused upon securing a pan-European security arrangement which is not weaponized against Russian interests such as is the case with NATO.  Let us not forget that American interests in any settlement in Ukraine would be to not only end hostilities, but to create a foundation upon which Russia might be less inclined to remain within China’s sphere of influence.  So there is a great deal to be gained by both the US and Russia in ending the Ukrainian war, but neither will likely be satisfied with the formation of a armistice.  ?

The New York Times reports that US officials are planning to propose an “armistice” for Ukraine allegedly similar to how the Korean war ended in 1953. However, an Armistice Agreement like the Korean does not align with Russia’s goals and probably can’t be achieved if limited to a ceasefire.

Peloni:  The way to avoid these butchers being released to revisit their terrorist trade upon the innocents of the Israeli people is to end this charade of justice and provide a reasonable and equitable remedy for convicted terrorists by enacting the death penalty upon all who are convicted of terror.  Terrorism is not murder, and the war crimes committed by terrorists are not crimes but acts of war.  Rewarding such attempt to overthrow civil society with the shroud of protection of civilian criminal codes should be seen to be as abhorrent` as the terrorists who are today being released once again.  End this cycle of  absurdity by ending the preservation of these butchers for some future early release deal, while reacting to reality and implementing real justice for the victims of terror.

Terrorists responsible for hundreds of murders will be released

Despite joy over the return of the Israeli hostages and the majority support for the ceasefire deal, most Israelis are keenly aware of the dangers posed by the ceasefire’s dark side – the release of over 1,000 terrorists and terror supporters from Israeli jails.

Peloni:  These criminals who have been granted a pass for their crimes should be pursued relentlessly for the rest of their lives and to the end of their wealth.  In fact, while they are now immune from Federal prosecution in the US, they are liable in US state courts as noted by Kelly, but so too they are just as liable for their pardoned crimes in nations which have extradition treaties with the US.  These mass murderers must be held accountable for their crimes.  While many, too many, have looked towards some form of international body or tribunal rendering justice for these butchers, it should be recalled that justice should be a local matter, and that judgement is best determined by a jury of peers chosen from among the communities in which the crimes were manifested.  So let them be judged, by the communities across the globe in which their crimes were committed, which is everywhere.

Peloni:  Trump should fire Witkoff

I just read Ambassador Friedman’s comments about the proposed cease fire and temporary “deal” to bring surviving and slaughtered hostages home.

I have his wonderful book, Sledgehammer, which documents the issues and problems leading up to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital, moving America’s embassy there, and forging a peace between Israel and at least some of its former Arab adversaries in the Abraham Accords.

Peloni:  An intriguing response to the algorithm wars, so to speak.  Indeed, allow the choice of content to be chosen by the respective public within each nation, and to the degree to which such societal perversions are exploited on the West via Tic Tok, such as the antisemitic filth which is awash on that platform, let there be an equally damaging perversion exploited via the Twitter platform, for example, upon the Chinese people.  What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, as the saying goes.

Canada’s lame duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his coalition of far-left socialists (the NDP) and left leaning fellow Liberals, recently cut off arms supplies to the State of Israel while it was and still is fighting a war against implacable enemies, who have killed and taken Israeli hostages and who are reported to be torturing them on a daily basis.

Peloni:  Yigal Carmon discusses the role of Qatar in supporting radical Islamist activities around the world.  Despite this, the Qatari’s are employed by the Americans to measure and mold US international negotiations over and over again.  Carmon reminds us that Qatar advocates on behalf of the Wahabism and that its connections are deeply embedded in US institutions.  This calls to mind, Tiny Qatar casts a giant shadow, an important essay written by Ted over a decade ago which still holds a significant relevance to this day, specifically because of the failure of US leadership to part ways with this Fundamental Islamist powerhouse.  Given the deference demonstrated by the incoming Trump administration to Qatar in the recent Hostage Surrender Deal, it would appear that Qatar’s influence will not likely be changing anytime soon.  Hopefully, for both the survival of the US and Israel, this statement will soon be proven false, but we will see.

Peloni:  To a point, I disagree with Yishai.  I argue that it would be both reckless and damaging to relocate Pals to any nation in which Jews currently reside.  Recall that the Pals have been weaponized by a Western funded, all of society program to seek out and kill Jews, and this training will be with them no matter where they might emigrate.  Hence, providing these human weapon systems ready access to wreak havoc on the Jews residing in Western nations such as Canada, Australia, etc, where there are existing and thriving Jewish communities, many of which are already under threat of violence, would only serve to strengthen the campaigns of Jew Hatred in these lands, while also expanding the realization of open violence against these Jewish communities.  Instead, Pal resettlement should be resettled to nations which are already currently Jew-Free.  Notably, there are a number of such nations to be counted among the Arab nations, and both Egypt and Jordan would certainly qualify to be counted amongt them.  The Jews of the Diaspora should not be made to bear the burden of becoming the latest targets to be added to the butcher’s bill associated with the weaponization of the Pals against the Jews, all Jews.

Relocation, voluntary resettlement, is a great humanitarian idea for the “Palestinians” living in the Land of Israel.

Places like Indonesia, Syria, Turkey, Jordan, Ukraine, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Chile, etc. will give them opportunity for a great future, and will complete… https://t.co/qeTPZqFWie

Peloni:  Debarred?  Is this really to be the level of penalty leveraged against those who are responsible for the deaths of untold numbers, and the ruin of untold livelihoods?  The perpetrators of the faux pandemic should each be forced to sit in the dock, to be tried in every locality in which their efforts had a deleterious consequence.  Their liberty should be forfeit, their fortunes should be seized, and their investments should be liquidated to the benefit of those who are still suffering from the tragedies which unfolded following the events described below.  In all of this, justice will either be blind in allocating a fair remedy for the horrors of the past years, or it will be blinded by those still in power who are able to prevent a just remedy for those who manufactured this tragedy… and that would of course be an even greater crime.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) formally debarred Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a company which coordinated with Dr. Anthony Fauci’s aides to receive funding for gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, according to documents the House Oversight Committee released Friday.
