Yes – Take Mamdani at his word  

Peloni:  Here are the major points raised by

  • Radical Islamism and Leftism: The connection between radical Islamist ideologies and leftist movements, suggesting a mutual corruption of values.
  • Critique of Zohran Mamdani: A strong focus on Mamdani as a representative of the “Red-Green Axis,” combining Marxism and jihadism.
  • Anti-American Sentiment: Mamdani’s positioning against American values and the author’s accusation that he distracts from his antisemitic beliefs.

The West’s Battered Woman Syndrome  

Peloni:  Replacing critical thinking with dogmatic beliefs represents the implosion of Western society, as it the undoing of a major basis upon which West was built.

This is a new quasi-religion, quasi-syndrome that demands voluntary human sacrifices in the name of ‘universal progress and justice’. Don’t fall for it. Beware.

From Israel: What Can We Expect Ahead??  

Arlene Kushner | October 27, 2025

Alex Brandon/ AP

What I am alluding to in my title is the entire situation with regard to Gaza. It is difficult to wrap one’s head around what is happening both because the situation is so fluid, and because various reports contradict each other.

A significant case in point was the front page of the Jerusalem Post on Sunday morning.

Iranian Regime Drops Mask: Open March Toward Nuclear Bomb  

by Majid RafizadehGatestone Institute November 1, 2025

Iran Missile Program Iran’s announcement to the world that it will no longer respect any laws, treaties, or limits on its nuclear program is, in essence, a declaration of war. The regime has always wanted nuclear weapons. The West must tighten sanctions, monitor every step of Iran’s program, and maintain credible military options.

Iran’s regime has officially declared that it will not abide by any nuclear limits. It is finally admitting out in the open that its ultimate objective has always been to become a nuclear-armed state.

“Vance, Jesus, Erin, and Tucker”  

by Gerald A. Honigman

Erin Molan is an Aussie who’s not afraid to call it as she sees it, and thus ticked off her Australian employer a while back, especially regarding not accepting the anti-Israel bias she frequently encountered.

When you listen to the videos featuring Erin, VP JD Vance, and Israel near the end of this analysis, among other things, you’ll note Vance is best buddies with the blatant antisemite who gets upset when called out on this, Tucker Carlson, and decides to discuss the theological differences between Jews and Christians during one the major programs happening in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The Sources of Anti-Israel Hostility  

By Farrell Bloch | Am Thinker | Oct 31, 2025

Image: Ted Eytan

The primary goal of pro-Palestinian protestors is vilification of Israel rather than support of Palestinian Arabs, as is suggested by these activists’ silence when Palestinians are murdered by other Arabs, most recently Hamas’ executions of opposing Gazans. Indeed, their limited perspective lacks focus on other contemporary ethnic conflicts such as Arabs attacking Africans in Sudan and Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The most apparent explanation for the anti-Israel monomania on campuses, in the United Nations, and elsewhere is that Israel’s direct opposition consists of populous, politically active, and oil-supported Muslims.

Trump Calls On Congress To Investigate Nigeria As Radical Islamists Massacre Thousands Of Christians  

Peloni:  The cone of silence which has shielded the nearly daily slaughters in Nigeria from being highlighted in the Western Press will forever stand as a mark of shame and culpability on the Western world.  The fact that for the past two years, that same Western Press promoted the falsehood of a slaughter of Gazans which did not happen, that it pretended a Gazan famine which never existed, and it claimed crimes against humanity by Israel which never took place, only serve to make their culpability and malfeasance regarding what has taken place in Nigeria so much worse.  What makes the Muslims of Gaza so much more valuable to the Christian leaders of the Western world than their own co-religionists in Nigeria that they would manufacture myths to protect the former while ignoring the truth about the latter?  One can only express a sense of relief that with this announcement by Pres. Trump, the world may finally see some meaningful effort to raise a significant response against the slaughter of more than 125,000 Christians in the loathsome and terrible nation of Nigeria in the hope of ending the needless slaughter conducted there by Islamist Jihadis.  It is as if the Western nations had been allied with these Jihadis against the Jewish and Christian faiths on which the values of Western civilization were founded.  Indeed, there is a malignancy within the consciousness of the West which champions fallacious and mendaciously manufactured reports of ‘slaughter’ while ignoring all too real exhibitions of what true slaughters, famine, and war crimes look like.

IDSF Briefing: Why Every Gaza Peace Plan FAILS! And how to actually make it work.  

Peloni:  This is one of the most important and accurate critiques to the Trump Gaza plan to date.  Martin Sherman, founder and CEO of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, discusses the Trump Gaza plan, its impossible chance for success, as it too well resembles what has already failed, and what might might be the best proposition for peace going forward, even as it is being ignored.

Israeli-Lebanon Ceasefire Shows Cracks as Aoun Calls on Lebanese Army To Confront IDF  

Peloni:  This report should surprise no one.  Hezbollah has no interest in being disarmed, and the LAF lacks the capacity to enforce the disarmament of Hezbollah, even if that were their actual intended goal.  Yet, they will happily act against the IDF when they act to disarm Hezbollah.  Given the intensity of diplomatic interest in seeing Amb. Barrack’s fantastical gambit proceed, always failed the reality test.  Indeed, this gambit was always destined to fail for the same reasons that the Jordan Option, once operational, will almost certainly work – because for a plan to work it requires us to recognize existing realities and act upon them. By institutionalizing fictions, such as the LAF being capable of disarming Hezbollah, we only serve to preserve the existing reality by pretending it doesn’t exist, when it does.  Worshipping at the feet of fake idols does not change the weather.  Neither does feeding Lebanon with billions in cash expecting them to do the undoable.  Find what is doable which can lead to that which is vital.  This is how successful plans succeed.  Ignoring this is how failing plans continue to fail.  Good wishes against established realities, even amid significant diplomacy, can only lead to catastrophe…and it does, over and over again, particularly in the Middle East where Western diplomats pretend they are in Europe when they are in Beirut, Damascus, Bagdad or Amaan.

  • Response to IDF Operation Against Hezbollah: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun instructed the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to “confront” IDF troops when they cross the border into Lebanon to carry out operations. Aoun made the comment following an overnight raid by the IDF in the border town of Blida. The IDF said that the raid was conducted to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure. IDF troops reportedly opened fire on a municipal building after identifying “an immediate threat,” killing a worker identified as Ibrahim Salameh, who was sleeping in the building. The IDF stated that the incident is under review.

Zohan Mamdani is on track to become the next mayor of New York.

A big test about what this man truly represents, perhaps even bigger than his ability, or lack of it, to govern the city, will be shown in how he approaches the anniversary of 9/11. The most pivotal moment in the city’s history.

The Heritage Foundation has been a pillar of conservative thought for nearly five decades. Its scholars have shaped policy, defended freedom, and provided the intellectual ammunition for countless conservative victories. I’ve long admired their work and continue to support many of their initiatives, including important elements of Project 2025.

The open questions, and the clear answers, in the Yemenite Field video affair.  

Peloni:  While the leaked video is an important aspect of what formed an early part of this blood libel against Israel, the leak must be understood to be secondary to the motivation which led to the leak.  There is no innocent interpretation which fits the facts in this case, in which video from a highly secured fascility was removed from that fascility, edited to grant it a nefarious character, and then release it to Channel 12 where there were claims of rape indicated which were not even supported by the doctored video.  The target of this libel was the IDF, and as Yossi questions below, was it the Americans, the Kaplanists (far Left hostage advocates), or was it someone else.  Whoever it was, it should be fairly easily determined, as Yossi explains below.

Israel Falsely Accused of Crimes that Turkey Commits with Impunity  

Janet Levy:  In a clear moral reversal of human rights, when Israel fights for its survival, the Jewish State is accused of “occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide.”

Turkey, a NATO ally collaborating with the Muslim Brotherhood, is rewarded despite actually committing these atrocities.

In 1974, Turkey took control of nearly 40% of Cyprus, ethnically cleansing the Greek Cypriots in the area and replacing them with Turks. It also occupied territories in northern Syria and northern Iraq, from which it has carried out drone strikes, targeted the Kurds for extermination, destroyed infrastructure, and deliberately created conditions of food and water scarcity.

The U.N. stays quiet about Turkey’s crimes but keeps accusing Israel of committing genocide and causing famine in Gaza.

Furthermore, Turkey is being rewarded by the UK with the sale of fighter jets, while Britain keeps an arms embargo on Israel.

Trump named Turkey, whose leader is a champion of “Palestinian” rights, as one of the guarantors of the “ceasefire” plan, positioning it as a key player in regional affairs. Erdogan has always been hostile toward Israel (even talking about attacking the Jewish state) and welcoming to Hamas leadership. In August, while allowing the free movement of guns and money from Iran, Turkey restricted its airspace to Israeli planes, banned Israeli ships from its ports, and forbade its ships from entering Israeli ports.

Not Peace. We are Still at War  

Peloni:  It is a sad epitaph to the two long years of war, tragedy and sacrifice to grasp that the way being proposed forward takes returns us to the October 6 era all over again.  Is this reasonable? Is this acceptable?  Is this even possible?  Well, it is where things are headed, but it is not where things will likely arive.  As I noted before, this war is not yet over, and while this is a tragedy in and of itself, it is only by seeking out victory that the rewards which were promised in this war will finally be obtained.  There is no going back to October 6.
