More than 200 celebrities, including Paul Simon, Sting, Ian McKellen, Mark Ruffalo, Margaret Atwood, and Cynthia Nixon, recently signed an open letter to launch a global campaign for the release of jailed Fatah terrorist Marwan Barghouti, referring to him as “a longtime advocate for freedom and dignity for the Palestinian people.”

In mid-November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) “as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. This designation authorizes heightened enforcement against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas.”

Kudos to Governor Abbott as the enforcement now begins:

Competing in the antisemitism sweepstakes along with Francesca Albanese, Roger Waters, Ye, Guy Pearce, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, is a UN official of whom you may not have heard until now. She is Reem Alsalem, who is the UN Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls. So you would think, given her job, that she would. take a keen interest in identifying and publicizing examples of such violence, especially of rape. But that turns out not to be the case.

The Trump offer that no country in the region can afford to refuse  

Peloni:  If peace is not possible, disincentivizing war may be an important alternative.  Yet, it is still relevant to recognize that the distinction between peace and disincentivizing war remains to be a significant gulf, especially in the Middle East where war is about religious conquest, something which becomes all the more relevant when we grasp Trump’s efforts to grant Qatar and Turkey any meaningful role in this process.  Indeed, the leadership in Turkey and the Qatar are well known supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Erdogan has often spoken of his dreams of empire.  Yet, these two nations driven by their radical ideology of conquest continue to be promoted by the US, and the Trump administration continues to try to grant them sensitive roles in Trump’s plan to disincentivize war.  Nations which are led by dreams of a world wide caliphate will find it an easy choice to scuttle Trump’s plans for the future, even at the cost of billions of dollars in revenue.  It seems impossible that this is not clearly understood by the current administration.

A new transit corridor that will be built in Armenia jointly with the United States is the missing link in connecting nations from Central Asia to Europe carving a path all the way to the Middle East with the hope of creating trade—and, ultimately, peace.

MASKED JIHAD MOB STORMS LA SYNAGOGUE: Antisemitic Terrorists Smash Glass, Terrorize Worshippers at Bridge-Building Event  

Peloni:  There are laws in America which could protect American Jews, which would isolate terrorists, cut off their funding, and silence their open support, and intimidate even those unconnected with terrorist organizations from targeting Jews and Jewish communities in the US.  The anti-terror laws in the US have been too long ignored, and they need to be put into practice with speed and precision to stem this rising wave of Jew Hatred which is racing across the US. Prosecuting terrorism and terror supporters should not be a controversial matter.

Jews attacked, Jews arrested, Jews on trial  

When a Jewish man is violently attacked at a synagogue and the rescuer is prosecuted while the attacker walks free, the message is unmistakable: Jews are not safe in New Jersey.

Multiple Trump Officials and Conservatives Attending Qatari Event  

Peloni: The normalizing of socialized events with the sponsors of terrorism somehow diverts from the image of what Making America Great Again might suggest.  Coming within days of the release of Trump’s Executive Order regarding the possible banning of selective Muslim Brotherhood Chapters makes this a rather emboldened concern.

NGO Monitor Reports Hamas Controls NGOs  

Peloni

A new NGO Monitor report based on internal Hamas documents reveals a systematic effort by the terrorist group to infiltrate and control international aid organizations in Gaza. It explains that Hamas established a network of operatives, described as “guarantors”,  who were either members of Hamas or loyal to Hamas, and who were placed within major NGOs like Oxfam, Save the Children, and the Norwegian Refugee Council.  By doing so, these guarantors provided Hamas the means by which to monitor activities of the NGOs and influence decision making, while having the ability to access sensitive financial and administrative data within the relative organizations.  It also provided Hamas with the means by which to manipulate aid distribution by the NGOs.

A Two-State Solution for Lebanon  

Peloni:  Rather than inviting instability in the region as is what has taken place under Oslo, a Two State Solution in Lebanon would render the region more stable.  It would also free the Lebanese Christian community from its current state of dhimmitude under the Hezbollah run trainwreck of Lebanon, allowing the Lebanese Christians to  once again flourish.

Pope Leo visited Lebanon, where the proportion of the indigenous Christian population continues to decline even as the Muslim colonial population grows, and called for a two state solution. Not to create a Christian state in Lebanon, but to create a Muslim one in Israel.

Charlie Kirk Show Breaks Silence To Address Candace Owens’ Conspiracy Theories

“The Charlie Kirk Show” producer Blake Neff lambasted podcaster Candace Owens Wednesday for claiming that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk was “betrayed” by high-ranking members of the conservative student group, saying TPUSA would deliver a detailed response to her claims via a livestream.Authorities arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, early in the morning of Sept. 12, accusing him of fatally shooting Kirk during a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University. Owens posted on X Tuesday that she would “be naming names and providing evidence” to support her allegations, which have involved French paratroopers, the Egyptian military and TPUSA leadership.

The Viral ‘Prison Rape’ That Never Happened  

Peloni:  Excellent article by Gadi Taub describing a detailed review of the Sde Teiman affair in which elite IDF soldiers were falsely accused of raping a prisoner using falsified evidence leaked by the IDF’s top lawyer.  He also goes into the details surrounding the attempted coverup which followed and the repercussions which are still developing from these revelations.  This case will come to be seen as the first grand strike against the Deep State forces which coordinates the courts, law enforcement and the media against the people, the govt and the IDF.

The IDF’s top lawyer resigned after footage of the supposed ‘rape’ of a Hamas prisoner by Israeli guards at Sde Teiman was shown to have been doctored

Brigadier General Yifat Tomer-Jerusalemi was promoted to the rank of Major General and took office as the Chief Military Advocate General. She replaces Maj. Gen. Sharon Afek, who has served in the position for the past six years. Tomer-Jerusalem is the second officer in the history of the IDF who is being promoted to the rank of Major General and the fifth member of the General Staff Forum. The champion of Yifat is the first military prosecutor. The exchange ceremony was held at the Rabin (Hakriya) camp, headed by the Minister of Defense, Mr. Benny Gantz, and the Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, and in the presence of members of the General Staff Forum, family members and other invitees.

On July 29, 2024, a Military Police team raided the Sde Teiman holding facility, where fighters from Hamas’ elite Nukhba unit—which spearheaded the Oct. 7 massacres—were being held. Their targets were not the terrorists. Instead, they had arrived to arrest a group of IDF reservists serving there on guard duty. Their faces covered in masks, 40 Israeli Military Police officers disarmed and arrested 10 members of Force 100, which was in charge of security incidents at the jail.

Israel aligned Yasser Abu Shabab killed in Israeli controlled Rafah  

Peloni:  Following the death of Israel aligned Yasser Abu Shabab in Israeli controlled Rafah today, Mudar Zahran tweeted the following statement:

“Hamas took out “Abu Shabab” with help from an Arab intelligence service, which tracked his vehicle and followed his movements using advanced phone-hacking spyware—- Western military sources confirms….

Let me be clear: some Arab regimes are deliberately trying to derail the ceasefire and sabotage President Donald Trump’s Gaza initiative because continued war serves their interests. To those I say: You will pay a heavy price — guaranteed.”

Police Arrest University Of Delaware Student Who Allegedly Plotted Mass Shooting, Reportedly Sought ‘Martyrdom’  

Peloni:  This is a very concerning story.  The detailed surveillance, preparations, and skills described in this story are too great for even the most obtuse observer to conclude that this was the actions of a supposed Lone Wolf attacker.  Yet, that is how the US officials are proceeding.  Someone needs to make this make sense.
