Alleged Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine member, October 7 attack participant arrested in Louisiana  

Peloni:  Look who turned up in America?!!

By Joe Truzman | October 21, 2025

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday that it had arrested 33-year-old Mahmoud Amin Yaqub al Muhtadi in Louisiana. The DOJ alleged that Muhtadi was a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s (DFLP) so-called armed wing and had participated in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack in southern Israel.

The DIY ally: Israel’s victory is America’s too – opinion  

Once again, Israel’s decisive win has boosted America too.

By GIL TROY | 

The chaos in Gaza is intensifying, exposing Hamas’s true evil face to anyone who lives in the fact-based universe. Violating the ceasefire from the get-go, the terror group is doling out the dead bodies of innocent Israelis, making me wonder why we released any Palestinian prisoners without securing all bodies first.

And, beware, Israel has sometimes won wars while losing the peace. Still, while addressing the Knesset, US President Donald Trump correctly called the Gaza breakthrough “an incredible triumph for Israel and the world.” Once again, Israel’s victory is America’s victory, too. Read more…

JD Vance’s Israel Visit Explained: The Ceasefire, Gaza’s Divide & Iran’s Next Move  

Peloni:  On the IDSF briefing today, IDSF Head of Research Or Yissachar explains that what is taking shape in Gaza will fail, but that Trump is allowing the Arabs the opportunity to prove they can get Hamas to demilitarize and disarm themselves, but that it is doomed to failure.  Following their failure, the IDF will follow thru and eliminate Hamas.  While Or’s conclusions here are quite reasonable, it elevates the level of danger for Israel, as we have already seen with the recent attack on the IDF forces by Hamas.

The conclusion being made here is that Trump is trying to align all the Middle East actors, and so he needs to give the Arabs the opportunity to prove that they can bring results to the table, and failing Hamas disarming itself, Hamas will be destroyed, either by a “proxy”, as Trump referenced in a recent interview, or by Israel.  The proxy indicated in Trump’s comments should be understood to be a reference to the Arab force in Gaza, whoever is included in this group, and if (read as ‘when’) they fail, Trump can allow Israel to finish the job without any of the Arabs being able to mount an objection.

Baptist Zionist group says ‘no need for another Palestinian state’, calls for Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria  

Peloni:  Jordan is Arab Palestine.  Based on history, law, geography and majority demographics, Jordan is Arab Palestine.  While it has suited the interests of all parties for one reason or another to pretend away the reality of this fact, Jordan is still Arab Palestine.

Group calls Jordan a ‘Palestinian state’, says two state solution ‘designed to erase Israel’

‘The Long Game’: Hamas Co-Founder’s Son Exposes Hamas’s Global Goals  

Linda Goudsmit:  This is the article the West should be reading!

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, defected to Israel in 1997 and moved to the United States in 2007. He converted to Chritianity in 1999 and has been warning the West of the immutable nature of Islam in his books and speeches. I find that the men and women with personal experience who have actually lived under totalitarian and terrorist regimes have the most standing and credibility. I make it a practice to ignore the paid political propaganda spewed by pundits of the corporate media whose bosses have a globalist agenda. This important article by Catherine Salgado discusses the chilling warnings of Mosab Hassan Yousef which expose the staggering deceit of Hamas. Taqiyya, lying in the service of Islam and hudna, a deceitful ceasefire for resupplying, regrouping, and attacking are the operational Hamas tactics––not peace. Israel is the bulwark against terrorism in the Middle East. Israel must finish this war with Hamas or Islamic terrorism will continue to spread worldwide. President Trump needs to hear Mosab Hassan Yousef ––there is no peace with terrorists––there is only taqiyya and hudna. Neither President Trump nor his two financially-conflicted envoys are going to stop 1400 years of immutable Islamic doctrine that demands the destruction of  all non-believers––Jews and Christians––and the establishment of a worldwide Islamic caliphate. It is the long game.

ILTV On The Hour | VP Arrives In Israel | Hostage Body Returned | Ceasefire On The Brink  

Peloni:  The import of adding VP Vance to the conversation being led Kushner and Witkoff should not be ignored.  We will see what emerges from all of this, but placing greater reliance upon Vance, who has signalled a greater support of the isolationists perspective in the administration.  Hence from the outset, this does not bode well, not for Israel, not for the US, and not for any prospect of long term peace.  But time will tell.

Israel rejects absurd US led Lebanese proposal  

Peloni: Following Trump’s full embrace of Israel in his speech before the Knesset, we are left to ponder why Trump’s Mideast emissaries along with his Lebanese ambassador, are treating Israel so badly by demanding that Israeli interests be subordinate to the interests of its enemies who have been all but defeated in battle?  Mind you, the notion that Israel should abandon its own national interests, be it in Gaza or in Lebanon, is not in Israel’s interest, just as it is not in America’s interest, but it is what is being demanded of her by Trump’s closest advisors…Is this really how DJT wants to re-imagine the Middle East?

Opening of Knesset winter session descends into fight over judicial reform after Speaker Ohana snubs Supreme Court President  

Peloni:  The primacy of addressing judicial reform presents itself in every aspect of society, politics, law and geopolitics.  As I have noted for a very long time, this topic will be remedied by this govt or the next, as the political support for doing so emanated from the people and not the political elites.  Better sooner than later, but sooner or later, this very damaging issue will be resolved.

Netanyahu acknowledges court president but demands respect for gov’t as well

If the opening of the Knesset’s winter session is any indication, Israel is in for another highly contentious legislative period.

The first session on Monday already descended into shouting and mutual accusations of illegitimacy, after Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana refused to address Supreme Court President Isaac Amit by that title, instead merely referring to him as a “judge.”

Hamas Renews the Fight and New Threat from Egypt – What you must know about the Gaza Ceasefire  

Peloni:  The insidious role of Egypt in arms transfers to Hamas returns to the headlines as drone transfer of arms across the Egyptian border to Hamas accelerates.  Ironically enough it is at this time that Opposition Leader Lapid raises his call for Israel to turn over control of Gaza to Egypt, a frightening and irresponsible suggestion.

No Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine  

Peloni:  Mr. Legends of History provides an interesting overview of the period following Trump’s realignment in support of Ukraine’s stated war aims to today when that position was seemingly reversed back towards reality, an acknowledgement of the fact that Ukraine is incapable of gaining its war goals due to its lack of men, morale and munitions.  He also describes the inexplicable interest which Ukraine has affixed to it receiving Tomahawk missiles while having no way in which to launch these missiles.  Ukraine is in an impossible position, not because it lacks Tomahawk missiles or any other US military asset which it might next place its interest in acquiring, but because it has serious deficiencies (see just above) which Ukraine has no means by which to overcome.  Failing to do so will provide for Ukraine’s ultimate defeat in this attritional war, in which Ukrainian victories have proven to be few in number and diminishing in long term importance.  Ukraine should seek a reasonable negotiated settlement, even as this too will prove to be an impossibility as Zelensky’s regime depends upon the extending support from such radical elements in his armed forces as the founder of the notorious Azov.

Witkoff Expressed Condolences to Hamas Leader  

Peloni:  As we return to the days of shuttle diplomacy last witnessed during the Biden administration when a gaggle of US delegates tried to strong arm Israel into capitulating to Hamas, we now see a new gaggle of US delegates arriving in Israel to most likely coerce Israel on this same path towards certain folly.  The choice of two Qatari allied negotiators (Kushner/Witkoff) to act in place of any fair arbiter was very telling, something which was reinforced by the fact that these negotiators themselves don’t see their conflict of interest as anything but a strength – a description which should lead us to believe that they in no way tried to self correct for this bias.  With this in mind, we should grasp the import upon which this duo chose to impose upon Israel, not only that Israel have no right to secure a final victory over the Qatari aligned Hamas, but that Israel also have a responsibility to deal with the needs of the population in Gaza, even as Hamas is being left to reassert its victimization of that same population.  The lack of interest or sympathy by Kushner/Witkoff for the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza being returned to the unkind rule of the Qatari aligned Hamas parallels the lack of interest or sympathy for the Israelis who are now being tasked with having to deal with a cone of protection which has been placed over Hamas during this ‘temporary’ period of Hamas rule, a period which has no end in sight.  In fact, the Qatari influence over Kushner and Witkoff, something which these two managers continue to represent as a strength, seems to have received the best aspect of this deal.  At best, Hamas will either survive this war and at worst they have been given the means by which to return to battle in a better position, regrouped, re-armed, and with the Israelis being designated by Trump’s own negotiators as having been responsible for the needs of the Palestinian Arabs going forward.  This insipid, anti-American, anti-Western and antisemitic Qatari influence scam must be removed from Washington, but it seems the opposite is what has been decided instead.

“You have to find a way to help the Palestinian people thrive and do better”

Despite the recent settlement, Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have significant financial interests involving Qatar, the state sponsor of Hamas, went on 60 Minutes. They did it because they knew they would find a friendly audience to bash Israel.

Should the U.S. Continue to Ally with Israel? Yes!  

By Walter E. Block & Oded J.K. Faran

Critics of U.S. aid to Israel frequently portray the relationship as entirely one-sided, questioning what America gains from this alliance. Senator Bernie Sanders recently argued on the Senate floor that “what we are doing today is aiding and abetting the destruction of the Palestinian people”¹, while Al Jazeera claims “the US is no longer the senior partner in the US-Israel relationship”². The Cato Institute goes further, asserting that “Israel Is a Strategic Liability for the United States”³.

How public education turned against Israel  

The “Zinn Education Project” depicts U.S. and Israeli history primarily through the lens of colonialism and racism to shape classroom narratives.

Among the most shocking developments in America in the two years since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks is the surge of anti-Israel sentiment seen in public school classrooms, teachers’ unions and local school board meetings.

Full Witkoff/Kushner Interview  

Peloni: The revealing statements made in this interview in the first ten minutes is very disturbing.  In fact, it is informative to learn that Witkoff and Kushner completely disregard their financial ties, or that of family members, to the oil barons with whom they are re-inventing the Middle East, as being a conflict of interest.  Revealingly, they describe these conflicts of interest as being ‘experience’ from which their success in reaching the deal struck was secured.  Forsaking the need of arms length actors as negotiators betrays the reality that underlying purpose in such requirements in striking any deal is to provide all parties with an equal point of bargaining power.

Son of Hamas founder: The West was tricked, Hamas has forged a ‘global jihad reset’ on ‘Gaza’s ruins’  

By | Oct 19, 2025

Mosab Hassan Yousef, aka Son of Hamas.  Screengrab via Youtube

A reminder (again): the Palestinian “resistance” (from the River to the Sea) is a central cause to the Muslim ummah. Islam is built on conquest, and has been actively at it for 1,400 years. Hamas is an offshoot of the global Muslim Brotherhood that has managed to infiltrate Western countries with its operatives, and has proliferated extensively.
