An Israeli commander speaks on a radio as troops battle terrorists in Jabaliya. (IDF)

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated “dozens” of terrorists in the northern Gaza area of Jabaliya overnight between December 29 and December 30. The militants were killed in ambushes. The discovery of so many terrorists is a rare occurrence in Jabaliya, where the IDF has been fighting since early October. The nearly three-month battle has primarily been a slow, grinding campaign against the remnants of Hamas and other groups in this portion of northern Gaza.

Peloni:  It is the three deficiencies which spell Ukraine’s ultimate doom: men, morale & munitions.  This article focused on the first two, which all by themselves would likely be enough to seal Ukraine’s fate, but the lack of munitions certainly makes this imminent eventuality quite impossible to dismiss.

#FPWorld: As many as 1,700 soldiers have reportedly deserted a Ukrainian brigade trained by France and equipped by European Union, highlighting a key problem plaguing Ukraine’s war efforts.

Sirens blared across central Israeli communities in the early hours of Tuesday morning, wrenching millions of Israeli civilians out of their beds for the seventh time in two weeks as another Houthi missile targeted the Jewish state. Based in Yemen, more than 1,500 miles away from Tel Aviv, the Houthis present a new kind of challenge to the Israel Defense Forces. Addressing the threat may provide a critical opportunity to secure strategic alliances that could dramatically alter the future of the region.

During Israel’s most recent round of airstrikes against the Houthis last week, the IDF hit Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, putting its international airport out of commission. This is the fourth round of airstrikes that the IDF has launched since the Houthis began attacking Israel in October 2023. Israel has sought to target Houthi infrastructure, disrupt Iranian weapons shipments and degrade the terror proxy’s ability to import oil.

Despite these missions, the Houthis remain undeterred. Less than a day after the IDF attacks last week, they continued launching missiles.

Peloni:  The comparisons between October 7 and the Hebron Massacre are eerily disquieting, as if the century which divided them, and the historical context which distinguish them, did not exist.  Yet, while listening to Yardena discussing the complacency of the Jewish community within Hebron, their belief in coexistence and their sense of solidarity with their Arab neighbors, resulting in the awakening of Jewish resolve to protect their own, one mark which stands forth as uniquely different was that as 3000 Arabs participated in the Jew Hunt in Hebron back in 1929, more than two dozen Arab families risked their own lives while saving the lives of more than 200 Jews.  Indeed, not only was there no such parallel in the slaughter of October 7, but there has yet to be one Jew saved from the terror dens of Gaza due to the efforts of any Arab.

Peloni:  The death penalty should be employed against terrorists such as the perpetrators of October 7.  Doing so would serve to alleviate the concerns of the petitioners bemoaning the living conditions of the too well kept butchers who owe their continued good health and splendid quarters to the over indulgent support of the very people they were caught trying to slaughter.

Israel’s Supreme Court’s diligent concern for the conditions of Hamas terrorists outrages the Israeli public

There are moments in life when a person or an institution will do something that causes jaws to drop and provokes mass headshaking in disbelief.

Such an event recently occurred when Israel’s Supreme Court, its self-proclaimed bastion of democracy, took it upon itself to aggressively worry about the conditions of Hamas prisoners, including the Nuhkba sadistic murderers of October 7, 2023, now incarcerated in Israeli prisons.

One last story about Jimmy Carter and his Jewish problem: this is about his attempt to prevent a Nazi war criminal from being deported. More can be read about it here: “When Humanitarianism Ends: Jimmy Carter’s Disturbing Request on Behalf of a Nazi War Criminal,” by Varda Meyers Epstein (Judean Rose), Elder of Ziyon, January 1, 2025:

Jimmy Carter died, but few Jews mourn him. Carter’s animus toward the Jewish people is by now, legendary. Elder of Ziyon offered an overview Carter’s overt Jew-hatred in Jimmy Carter, antisemite. Saving the worst for last, Elder detailed Jimmy Carter’s plea for leniency for Martin Bartesch, a former SS guard at the Mauthausen work camp during WWII:

Too many Americans keep asking “Why is Israel still fighting?” It’s as if Israel’s right to self-defense after October 7 had a two-month expiration date.

Footage released by Houthi Military Media says to show a launch of missile, which the Houthis say they fired at Israel, at an unknown location in this screen grab obtained from a handout video released on December 19, 2024.

The Houthis’ ongoing missile barrage provides the moral clarity Israelis need in battle – and the motivation to keep fighting this multi-front war we spent years trying to avoid. Soldiers have always reported, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Having been awakened Friday night by the latest air raid sirens in Jerusalem, I’ve discovered there are no pacifists in bomb shelters, either.

Peloni:  The removal of Gallant from the govt was a significant victory as he was the final obstacle acting on part of the Americans in obstructing Netanyahu’s control over the course of the war.  His resignation have the same effect for the govt in being able to pass essential legislation such as the Heredi Draft Law.

Coalition and opposition leaders criticize Gallant’s resignation

Very disappointing!  We voted for MAGA and got the globalists.

Also, conservatives have gone back to sleep.  Few people – Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer – are speaking out about this betrayal.

There are many people who only became aware of Elon Musk after he dropped Ron DeSantis and took up a position in support of President Trump.

Most of those people do not have a reference for Musk complying with the platform control demands of Brazil, France and Turkey [Durov (Telegram), and Pavlovski (Rumble) did not].

Most of those Pro-Elon people also do not have a reference for Musk claiming he and his legal team did not know former FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker was the legal counsel for Twitter at the time of the purchase, until after independent journalist Matt Taibbi was researching the Twitter Files and complained about Baker filtering information. {GO DEEP} Musk fired Baker, and eventually, Musk kicked Taibbi out and shut down the Twitter File reviews.

Hostages once held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip detailed brutal acts of torture and violence perpetrated against them in captivity in a new report prepared for the U.N. by the Israeli government.

The report, dated Dec. 23, draws on testimony of hostages taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks who were subsequently released or set free. Among other abuses, the prisoners testified that the Hamas terrorists subjected them to sexual assaults, brutal psychological torture, branding with hot objects, deliberate starvation and more.
