9/11: Some Say, “Always Remember,” But Many Have Already Forgotten  

Peloni:  The matters which most align a nation towards its identity, and thereby instill a sense of unity, such as was clearly the effect of 9/11, are what makes nations strong, and thus become the very target of those whose goals are more globalist in nature, as opposed to being nationalist. Hence, we saw the inexplicable war which came to be waged by the Left on the memory of 911, and even for the respect for the lives who were savagely stolen that day.

9/11: Some Say, “Always Remember,” But Many Have Already Forgotten

As we approach another somber September 11, you will frequently hear “always remember.” The fact is, many Americans have already forgotten.

UAE says Israeli annexation of West Bank territories will ‘irreparably damage’ efforts toward ‘regional integration’  

Peloni: Amid the threats from the UAE, Netanyahu has removed discussion of annexation from the topics of today’s security cabinet meeting.  As explained by Khaled Hassan (highly recommended analysis), there is good reason to accept that the Emeratis are serious in their threats to quit the Abraham Accords despite the costs to it economy and security.  Beyond just the Emeratis, annexation would further significantly delay if not end the Saudi normalization, and would further strain the peace with Egypt.  So the question becomes is annexation worthy of realigning the region against Israel over this single move?  I would argue that if this were merely related to the land, or to religion, it would be wise to be cautious here.  Yet, October 7 demonstrated the ease with which a small force might spread chaos and mayhem, slaughter and barbarism, into the very homes of the Israeli people.  Annexation is related to Israel’s security, and its very survival as the nation state of the Jews.  This final nail upon the shroud of the Two State Solution must finally be hammered home, and would be wise to be done sooner rather than later.  In fact, much of the world, many so called partners and allies, including the feckless Emeratis, are about to recognize a second Arab Palestinian state, which has brought this issue to a head.   Comments and criticisms on this topic would be welcome.

Finance Minister Smotrich proposes to annex 82% of Judea and Samaria

Officials from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have warned that Israeli annexation of any West Bank territories would “irreparably damage” Israel’s efforts to achieve “regional integration.”

Ambassador Leiter – Democrats, Republicans, and the Future of U.S.-Israel Relations  

Peloni:  Israel’s US Amb. Dr. Yechiel Leiter shares, among other matters, his attempt to deal with Israel’s failing bipartisan support in the US.  While many will challenge that it is a fool’s errand to mend this fence, it is vital for Israel’s relationship with the US to have the support of both parties, both for Israel and for America I would argue.

Israel must not ease pressure on Lebanon  

As long as the Lebanese army does not begin disarming Hezbollah, Lebanon can forget about an Israeli withdrawal from strategic positions along the border that are vital to the security of communities in the Upper Galilee.

by  Prof. Eyal Zisser | Published on  09-01-2025

The war launched against Israel by the Hezbollah terrorist organization on Oct. 8, 2023, the day after Hamas’ murderous surprise attack on communities near the Gaza border, ended in Hezbollah’s defeat. Much of its senior leadership and military command was eliminated, as were many of its military capabilities. Yet this was not an absolute victory. Hezbollah was not destroyed and still retains considerable strength, waiting for the moment to rise again.

My two solutions for a more peaceful Middle East.  

Peloni:  Jordan is Palestine.  This is a tale from history often ignored over the past 100yrs, and which was recalled to mind by Ted Belman in his Jordan Option Symposium of 2017, and again in 2022.  The future requires the hostile Hashemite regime being replaced with a friendly ruler, one which will keep faith with its commitments, ending Jordanian incitement, and replacing support for Jihadi forces in Jordan with an intolerance for the same.  It is time to implement the Weizmann-Feisal agreement, and turn a cold peace with Jordan into a warm one.  It is time for the Jordan Option to be made operational.

Jordan is Palestine, and a local deradicalized leadership for a future Gaza state.

Turkey’s Quiet Relationship with ISIS  

Sinan Ciddi | Sept 3, 2025

On June 29, 2014, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in al-Sham (ISIS), was recorded on video speaking at the al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, Iraq. (“Al-Sham” is the traditional Arabic name for the Levant.) He declared himself to be the caliph or divinely inspired absolute ruler of an Islamic state.

ISIS had risen from the ashes of al-Qa’ida in Iraq, bringing together Syrian jhadists released by Asad’s regime, former members of Saddam Hussein’s army in Iraq, and Sunni tribal fighters from across rural Iraq. In Syria, ISIS joined other jihadist groups in fighting Asad. As its battlefield victories mounted, ISIS broke with al-Qai’da in declaring an Islamic state across eastern Syria and northern Iraq, with al-Raqqa in Syria as its capital.

Trump Acknowledges Israel Is Losing Control Of Congress  

Peloni:  It is neither remarkable nor revealing to read that Israel is losing the public  relations war being mounted against her.  It is a sad reality of foolish policies which have under funded and under valued the outcome of Israel’s public image over decades now.

In regards to Israel having the strongest lobby, I disagree that this was ever the case.  The reality is that Israel has a lot of strong support from the American people, making the effort of Israel’s lobby less difficult than pretending, for instance, that the Saudi’s had nothing to answer for on 9/11. Relying upon the instinctive support from Americans for too long now, however, is having an effect in the shadow of the world wide anti-Israel and antisemitic campaigns being unleashed against her currently.

The latest Trump-backed “Great Trust” plan for Gaza is being marketed as bold, visionary, even humanitarian. Whether this is the final iteration or not, it demands scrutiny.

Zionists must get up and defeat the ‘silent intifada’  

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Zionists should reconceptualize their approach.

By: Prof. Gil Troy | Aug 27, 2025

Since October 7, haters snort: “Zionists not allowed here” … “Zionists don’t deserve to live” … Zionists are genocidal “baby-killers.” They sling around Zionism, Zionists, and the prefix “Zio” as slurs. Enough fighting back and counterattacking. Let’s push past – and counter-program.

It’s easy when haters assault Jews directly – they show who they are. There are still enough decent people around to resist, defending their favorite Jews. More worrying is what one rabbi friend, who has identified many different intifadas, would call “The Silent Intifadas” – the shunning, ghosting, unspoken boycotting. There’s “The Social Intifada,” ostracizing Jews, especially students, because one bully decided to excommunicate them socially.

They lied to You about PALESTINE! SHOCKING TRUTH!  

Peloni:  The Palestinian Arabs don’t want a state, and never did.  They simply want to see the Jews enslaved or dead.  This is why it has been so long ignored that Jordan is the Palestinian Arab State, and why the attempt to give them ever increasing deals to accept a second Palestinian State has failed to gain their consent, ie because doing so does not remove the Jewish State, which has been their ultimate goal.

Israel’s territorial sovereignty

I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The discourse surrounding the borders of the State of Israel is too often mired in ahistorical sentiment and a selective application of international law. This legal brief seeks to correct that narrative by presenting the legal foundations of Israel’s territorial claims, which are rooted not in conquest but in law, treaty, and the explicit recognition of the organized international community of the early 20th century.

The PREP Act Must Be Repealed  

Peloni:  So much has gone so wrong for so long simply due to this legislation…

By Janet Levy | Am Thinker | Sept 2, 2025

Image via Pexel

In a free society, not having to pay if one’s mistakes harm others is a significant privilege. But the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act grants broad immunity from liability to Big Pharma, distributors, hospitals and clinics, doctors, pharmacists, and paramedics whenever the government declares a health emergency. Naturally, the law also protects the government and gives it—specifically, the Secretary of Health and Human Services—nearly unlimited powers. For example, the secretary can declare an emergency based solely on his judgment without needing to provide any evidence.

Simcha Rothman’s Bill to Split Israel’s Attorney General Role | Explained  

Peloni:  Relevantly, the High Court unanimously ruled to deny the govt’s request to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the very definition of judicial overreach, thus demonstrating why judicial reform is not only vital, but why judicial reform will either be passed during the current term or it will be the pivotal point of debate in the next election.  Sovereignty of the people thru their elected govt needs to be reset and restored.

Force before diplomacy: IDF prefers final Gaza push prior to regional talks  

Analysis: Israel is at a strategic crossroads in its war on Hamas; while the IDF controls most of Gaza, hostages remain in captivity, and regional peace talks cannot proceed until the enclave is fully secured and the hostages are released

Amir Avivi | YNET | Sept 2, 2025

The State of Israel now stands at a decisive crossroads, one that could lead to victory and the fulfillment of all war objectives. The path forward depends on the complete defeat—both physical and psychological—of Hamas in its last strongholds: Gaza City and the central refugee camps, particularly the Deir al-Balah sector.
