FOREIGN PODICY | International Law and Disorder  

Peloni:  This was a rare treat.  Highly recommended.  I would suggest watching the first 20 min at a minimum, but if time is allowed, the entire video is well worth watching as Natasha Hausdorff addresses the issues of the development and application of international law against Israel, the absurd steps taken against Israel in the ICJ & ICC, the outrageous actions exercised by the Chief Prosecutor of the ICC, why J&S are not Pal territory, the disappointing (understatement) of the BBC & the British govt, the role of UNWRA in October 7, why the British govt has such a hostile position with Israel, and do the hostility of the British govt and BBC reflect the public opinion at large of Israel.

Like it or not, now is the time for war.  

Peloni:  War is not what we want, but it is what we are left with.  They want to wreak Jihad upon us every day of the week, and we must face what we have ignored for too long now, and finally deal with these barbarians as if they are barbarians, and to recognize that their only goal is to slaughter us because their only goal is to slaughter us.  There can be no negotiation on these points, no toleration with their plans of future massacres against us.  Whatever it takes, war is being waged upon our people and we must respond with a resolve which is indefatigable and a spirit which is both inspiring and perseverant.

Mike Doran: A Few Thoughts for the Day  

T.Belman I disagree with Doran. I can’t believe that he raised the possibility of enforcing 1701. Now that Israel has Hezbollah reeling, Israel should invade Lebanon and occupy it to the Litani R. But shouldn’t stop there. She should destroy Hezbollah and it arsenal of 150,000 smart missiles and rockets once and for all.

“Israel should make clear that if the international community will not implement 1701, then Israel will have no choice but to do so unilaterally, at a time and in a manner of its choosing.”

Why Egypt Prefers Palestinian Terrorists On Its Border  

by Bassam Tawil  •  Gatestone Institute •  September 20, 2024 at 5:00 am

Anyone who believes that the Egyptians would act differently if and when Israel withdraws from the border area must be living on another planet. If the IDF leaves, Hamas will swiftly return to the border, and the Egyptians will continue looking the other way.

  • Before el-Sissi, but also during his tenure, cars, motorcycles, clothes, drugs, medicines, alcoholic beverages, and weapons were smuggled through the Philadelphi Corridor over the years, lots of weapons: improved RPG-29 rockets that killed our soldiers in the Iron Swords War, hidden rocket parts, machine guns, mines, and more.” — Nadav Shragai, Israeli author and journalist, Israel Hayom, July 10, 2024.

Israel Announces ‘New Phase’ in War, Emphasizing Northern Front  

With ‘capabilities not yet activated.’

by

Israel’s war for its own survival against the terror group Hamas has expanded since last October 7 to include the Iran-backed Houthis in the Red Sea, Hizballah in Lebanon, and intensifying skirmishes in Judea and Samaria. As a second wave of hacked pager blasts, aimed at Hizballah, rocked Lebanon — killing at least 20 and injuring 450 – Israel has announced a “new phase” in war on the northern front.

Gallant Wants a Second Chance  

Peloni:  Gallant blew past his second chance and his third and his forth.  He has consistently challenged Bibi since entering the govt, overstepping his authority, ignoring agreements made during coalition negotiations, and undermining authority of the govt to work the will of the people which delivered the Right its current majority.  And all of this was well before October 7, following which Gallant has played the role of the American toady over and over again.  Now that he is the last remaining American toady in the coalition, it is important for the Americans that Gallant remain as a stopgap measure between Bibi and the IDF, just as it is important that Bibi send him on his way, so mething which he should have done over a year ago when Gallant first showed his true colors to be Red, White and Blue.

Is Israel Losing Control of its Land?  

Peloni:  This would have been far more interesting conversation if they had brought someone from the Left who wasn’t from JStreet, as they might just as well have brought Sinwar to the debate.  Regardless of this, Nadia and Maurice are excellent.

Georgia Election Board Passes New Voting Rule Requires Counties To Hand-Count Ballots  

Peloni:  I have been waiting to hear this for four years.  Georgia is the land of corruption, and it has been an inspiration to witness the turn of events on the election board of late.  Perhaps it is too much to expect that this will not be overturned on appeal, as I noted, Georgia is the land of corruption.

The Georgia State Election Board voted Friday 3-2 to require all state counties to hand-count the number of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day.

All three board members who cast their vote in favor of the proposition were previously praised by former President Donald Trump back in August, according to The Associated Press. One Republican and Democrat voted against the measure.

The vote was heralded by many Republicans.

Israel alone, Israel unbowed  

French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy captures the essence of the Jewish people—and their innate and intense love for a tiny strip of land—in his latest book, in which he deconstructs the significance of Oct. 7.

Ben Cohen | Sept 20, 2024

“He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin/He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.” So sang Bob Dylan on his buoyant 1983 album track “Neighborhood Bully,” the title of which is an ironic take on how much of the world views the State of Israel and the nation—as Dylan observed, “always on trial, just for being born”—that built it.

Israel Alone. Just as Dylan conveys Israel’s grit in fighting back despite its stark isolation and its transformation by its enemies from victim into predator, Lévy’s book, sparked by the Hamas pogrom on Oct. 7 last year, communicates much the same spirit.

Trump Speaks at Antisemitism Event in D.C.  

I will be your Defender, your Protector and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House…It is time to fight the real fight and the real fight is to save Israel.

Peloni:   This is a must see video.  Trump speaks at the Israeli-American Council’s “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America” event in Washington, D.C. where he called on Harris to “disavow the support of all Hamas sympathizers, antisemites, and Israel haters, on college campuses and everywhere else.”  He announces his plans to combat antisemitism in his second administration, including pulling the accreditation and Federal funding of colleges which do not end antisemitic propaganda on campus; he will hold institutions which permit violence harassment or threats against Jewish students, they will be held responsible for violation of the Civil Rights law; he will return safety to American Jews on campus and American streets.  Trump also challenges Democratic American Jews to vote for their own protection and the survival of Israel by voting for him.

Israel Against the World  

By Eileen F. Toplansky | AM Thinker | Sept 19, 2024

Image: 4kbw9Df3Tw

On July 2014 the late Charles Krauthammer penned an article titled “Moral Clarity in Gaza.” He noted that “Hamas has only one grievance: Israel’s very existence.”

“Some geopolitical conflicts are morally complicated. The Israel-Gaza war is not. It possesses a moral clarity not only rare but excruciating.

“Israel is so scrupulous about civilian life that, risking the element of surprise, it contacts enemy noncombatants in advance to warn them of approaching danger. Hamas, which started this conflict with unrelenting rocket and mortar attacks on unarmed Israelis — 6,464 launched from Gaza in the past three years — deliberately places its weapons in and near the homes of its own people.

November Ceasefire in Gaza Collapsed After Hamas Lied About Female Hostages  

FDD | Sept 19, 2024

Latest Developments

Israeli media reported on September 18 that the week-long ceasefire in November — which saw Hamas release 81 Israeli hostages — collapsed after the terrorist group relayed false information about the captives it was due to release on the eighth day of the deal. Hamas was reportedly supposed to free 10 living hostages on that day but instead offered to return three living hostages and seven bodies. Among the purported dead were female hostages that Israel “knew for certain” were alive, indicating that Hamas would execute the women if Israel agreed to the terror group’s updated terms.
