Peloni:  Hamas should never have been given the freedom or ability to retake control of the landbase which they hold.  They should never have been ignored as they conducted public executions, no matter who they were murdering.  And they should never have been given the freedom to challenge the US with impunity and without consequences.  Point #17 provides for Hamas stalling, delaying or rejecting their obligation to both disarm and to free all the hostages. If they are unwilling or uncapable, and it doesn’t matter which, of fulfilling their stated obligations, their is no agreement, only a one sided surrender.  While Trump has returned to evoking threats, such words hold no power over Hamas.  The relationships and sense of power in the Middle East are each determined, not by words, but by actions.  It is time to return to action, and leave such actions to speak the threats which Trump would prefer to utter instead.

Following Trump’s Gaza peace deal, many people believe there’s calm in Gaza right now. That there’s a ceasefire. That maybe, just maybe, the Gaza nightmare is ending.

I wish that were true.

However, the truth is that we have right now isn’t peace. It isn’t even de-escalation. It’s a tactical pause, and our Islamonaz*I enemies, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Hamas and Iran, are using it exactly how terrorists always do: to rearm, regroup, to one day strike again.

Throughout the Arab, and most of the Muslim world, the territory between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea has been called Palestine, while the name, Israel, is blotted out.

The so-called Palestinian Authority displays a wall map behind the desk of its terrorist leader, Mahmoud Abbas, shows the State of Israel in its entirety but falsely named Palestine.

Peloni:  Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the American equity terrorist group, better known as the PA, rises to the occasion of spouting recriminations against the recent acts of savagery by Hamas, acts which provide the very depiction by which the Abbas’ Fatah maintained control power in the PA.  The hypocricy and the stupidity of having one terrorist charge another terrorist with “heinous crimes” isn’t even the real story to be told, as the real criminality is not that one international terrorist organization envies the success and support garnered by a rival international terrorist organization, but that either of these terrorist organizations are receiving any support by anyone in the international community.  The crimes being committed against the Gazan people are the least offensive of the long retinue of slaughters which Hamas has made and which the PA has endorsed, but all of the acts of terror, slaughter and field executions have been underwritten by the West and their persistent adoption of these terrorists as being worthy of Western funding in any form at all.  They should all have bounties placed upon their heads while being chased to the ends of the earth.  Instead, as is true of Al Jolani in Syria, they are given the recognition and gravitas of having legitimate authority in their respective dens of iniquity, a shameful policy course which should be abandoned in preference of empowering non-terrorists instead of pretending that terrorists are capable of reform or worthy of support.

Hamas has been rounding up and executing members of the Gazan clans opposed to the terror group, without any trials. Now Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, has condemned it for this practice.

Peloni:  Solutions fail to present themselves as culminating circumstances which facilitated the problem in question are preferred to making hard choices which would lead to something other than repeating the same failed policy of old.  Democracies are particularly inclined towards avoiding hard choices due to the resulting electoral costs.  Yet, as hard choices are avoided in preference to compromises on issues relevant to sovereignty and security, it leads to cataclysms such as was experienced on October 7, and this should have been a lesson learned too recent to have been ignored so completely.

There are some things we can predict: the sun will rise in the east, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom will make idiotic statements, and Hamas (Gazans) or other terrorists will try to break the ceasefire once they get back all their murderous thugs.

In the days immediately following President Donald Trump’s historic announcement regarding a Middle East peace plan, the world applauded. Suddenly, the global community saw celebratory dancing in the streets of Israel and Gaza and ignorantly assumed both sides were celebrating peace.

Lightning cracks across America’s political skyline as Qatar’s sophisticated lobbying machine deploys over $250 million since 2016 to burrow into conservative media and influencers, aiming to fracture GOP unity on foreign policy and erode support for Israel’s security. This isn’t mere diplomacy; it’s a calculated surge, with Doha’s agents shifting more than 50% of their media outreach post-Trump’s 2024 victory to right-wing outlets like Fox News and the New York Post, pitching stories that glorify Qatar as a “peacemaker” while downplaying its ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

What the world just watched over the last two years is not some random flare-up of violence. And this ceasefire deal? It’s not peace. Not even close. It’s a pause in a war that has never ended. A war that started long before Hamas. Long before the PLO. Long before there was ever a “Palestinian cause.” This is the same war that the Arab Muslim countries launched against Israel back in 1948. It is the 77th year of a war to destroy the one and only Jewish state of Israel, continuing a 1,400+ year Islamic jihad ideology.

Has Israel ever known real peace? Are the appeasers working for War or Peace?

Howard Rotberg |   Oct 17, 2025

Book of Jeremiah, chapter 6, verses 10 – 14:

“To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken; behold the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord. I am weary of holding it in: …for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord. From the least of them to the greatest of them everyone is greedy for gain; and from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely. They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, superficially saying Peace, peace when there is no peace.”

Have we been so beaten up by the antagonism of most of the world, including, rather importantly, media, education, and young people, that we are getting confused about the line between peace and war? Has Israel ever known real peace? Are the appeasers working for War or Peace?

Peloni: This is a much better response to the savagery ongoing in Gaza. In fact, this sort of heavy handed demonstration of Hamas’ return to power should have been anticipated and threats such as the one stated by Trump below should have been made explicitly clear to Hamas, if not in the deal struck, at least upon hearing the first reports of the butchery going on there. Importantly, the lack of such an explicit threat being included in the deal, or even after the slaughter began, serves very well to inform us that the concern for the Gazan people was never actually the focus which had been pretended by many over the past two years. The Gazans are, always have been, and perhaps always will be, understood to be a tool leveraged against Israel by those who feign an interest in the people of Gaza.  This is why 1.5 million people have unconscionably been left trapped inside an urban war zone by the international community, with no access to flee the battlezone.  In this way, Israel was left to answer for collateral casualties while also being handicapped with the needs of what is clearly an enemy civilian population, while the real interest in protecting the Gazans was coldly ignored by their so called supporters.

Peloni:  In this essay, Joan offers us an important insight into the rational behind Trump’s efforts to enter into the world of the Jihadists so as to be able to actually communicate clearly with them, and thereby negotiate in their own world, as it were, while also leveraging the most influential aspect of negotiating with a Jihadist, namely that they will be defeated and thereby humiliated should (or when) they betray any agreements struck with the US.    To this point, perhaps this was the very real purpose of Israel making a limited strike in Doha in the first place.

Some of the most astute writers and commentators who have weighed in on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire/hostage release/end of war issue that is on every media outlet’s front burner today and for the last few weeks is dead wrong about what they say is the foolish, dangerous, misguided, cave-to-the-terrorists, endanger Israel, empower-our-enemies choice that President Donald Trump and his negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have made in this delicate process.

As a doctoral student decades ago, in the ‘70’s, I became very interested in the struggle of scores of millions of non-Arab peoples whose plight and cause had been virtually ignored by most of the rest of the world.

While delving into the situation peoples like Egypt’s true indigenous inhabitants, the Copts, and the Levant’s Druse were facing, the primary focus of my research was on the long-oppressed Amazigh/Kabyle “Berbers” of North Africa and the Kurds of the Middle East, whose population was mainly spread across Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
