There Will Never Be Peace In Ukraine  

Peloni:  It will take real leadership in the West to prove Benz wrong. Today, America has such leadership in President Trump to resist the avarice and influence which began and maintains the Ukrainian war fever, but where is his like to be found in Europe? Where is his like to be found in the US?  The paucity of competent leadership in the West is a tragic reality with tangible consquences, which will perpetuate the tragedy of Ukraine across Europe and into the future.

Israeli flag filmed flying in Syrian square but Druze community conflicted over alliance with Israel  

Peloni:  The diversity of opinions held by the wider Druze community should be reflected upon as it contrasts with the alignment of Israel’s faithful and patriotic Druze community.  There are no more patriotic supporters of Israel than can be found in Israel’s Druze community, so it should not be surprising that a similarly patriotic Syrian mentality persists among the Syrian Druze, even as they are now caught in a situation where their Alawite protectors in Syria have been replaced with a Jihadi in sheep clothing.  Hence the pronouncement by the Syrian Druze that Israeli support would be the lessor of two evils.  The implications of that sentiment, and the inner conflict to which it speaks, should be expected to persist among the Syrian Druze for at least some time.

A day after Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets attacked a military site in the Qardahah area in Syria, footage of an Israeli flag being flown in the Druze area of Suwayda surfaced on social media.

Hours After President Trump Cut Off Support, Zelenskyy Retreats and Says Now Willing to Work Toward Peace  

Peloni:  Zelensky burned a great deal of credibility with Trump for very little gain.  As I noted before, doing so was a very big mistake, for him and Ukraine.  The inartful choice of retreating thru a tweet rather than a via public statement or interview speaks to the fact that this needed doing quickly without the possibility of Zelensky putting a foot wrong after having failed to repair the situation thru many interviews.  Hence, as Sundance explains below, no one should or likely does Trust Zelensky’s newly broached move towards championing peace.

From Israel: Those Antithetical Goals!!  

Arlene Kushner | March 4, 2025

AFP

I have been tracking the “process” – if I can call it that – that is following stage one of the “ceasefire deal.” And as has often been the case of late, I have delayed in writing because the situation has been so unclear and so fluid. I knew that by the time a posting went out, the situation would likely have shifted again.

But now it is time to write.

RFK Jr. moves to eliminate public comment on HHS decisions  

Peloni:  The purpose of public commentary to advise institutional actions taken by such bureaucratic institutions as HHS is to offer public input into the implementation of policies which are almost uniquely designed by non-elected officials.  Refusing to take the pulse of the people on such decisions presents a mindset based in elitism which should be seen to be quite distinct from the public face on which RFK Jr ran in this past election.  Hopefully this radical endeavor to shield the HHS, of all institutions, from public feedback will be blocked.

In notice to Federal Register, health agency says public participation is not needed in many decisions; HHS would rescind its longtime

Israfan | March 4, 2025

In the heart of southern Syria, the Druze community faces a pivotal moment as regional dynamics shift dramatically. Amid the aftermath of President Bashar al-Assad’s fall, many Druze residents view Israel as a potential safeguard against emerging threats.

Trump – Zelensky Fallout: Game Changer for Israel? March 3 IDSF Daily Briefing  

Peloni:  The shift of US policy to end the Ukraine war has implications throughout the world, not least of all in Israel, as explained by Gen. Avivi.  Notably, Ukraine’s attempts at defeating Russia are neither salvageable nor in America’s interest, and recognizing this fact solves many problems at once, not least of all is the freedom of Russia from its too tight connections with Iran and China.  The US ending the war in Ukraine, however, should have no implications for Israel as US opposition to the Armeggedonist Iran achieving its nuclear ambitions should be understood to be an existential threat to Israel, the West, and the US, and the small window to prevent this eventuality gives Trump little opportunity to ignore the Iranian threat even if it was his desire to do so.

Sanctions and Sovereignty  

Peloni:  I would argue that the use of foreign sanctions on Israeli citizens bears a significant threat against Israel’s national sovereignty no matter the motivation for doing so.  The fact that the Leftists employed these tools of coercion and penalty against the Right using the abuse of power of the American Democrats should not lead us to believe that the Right should now employ these same tools against the Left under the power of the American Republicans.  Instead, I would argue that the corruption which has subverted the conservative goals of national sovereignty and consent of the governed should be resolved by a domestic movement, rather than being forced upon the Israeli nation from abroad.  Or so I would argue.  What do others say on this topic?

Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya | X | March 4, 2025 

Elon Musk’s response to my post—viewed by over a million people, mostly on X—exposing the unprecedented Israeli juristocratic rot on a global scale, raises a fundamental question for the democratic camp in Israel: Where do we go from here?

Israel is the solution: The Jewish state must have sovereignty in Gaza  

Only Israel can be the sovereign rebuilding Gaza with Jewish resettlement, acting as the most powerful deterrent against our enemies, ensuring that Trump’s “peace through strength” is implemented.

Emergency Arab summit discusses Egyptian plan for Gaza reconstruction as alternative to Trump’s proposal  

Peloni:  With this statement, the Arab nations involved have declared their support for October 7 slaughter and their anticipation of the next one.  There is only one plan to avoid this eventuality, and it is thru facilitated emigration of the Jew Hating psychopaths in Gaza.  See Ted Belman’s visionary works of The Genesis of the Jordan Option and “Confederation with Jordan” and Memo to Kushner for details.

Turning ‘Humanitarian Aid Into a Budget For Terrorism’: Israel Suspends Aid Flow to Gaza After Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Extension  

FDD| Mar 2, 2025

Latest Developments

  • Israel Suspends Aid Into Gaza Strip: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on March 2 that Israel has halted “the entry of goods and supplies into Gaza” following Hamas’s rejection of a ceasefire extension. Netanyahu emphasized that “Hamas currently controls all of the supplies and goods that are being sent to the Gaza Strip,” adding the Iran-backed terrorist organization has turned “humanitarian aid into a budget for terrorism.” Netanyahu added that “There will be no free lunches… If Hamas thinks that it will be possible to continue the ceasefire or benefit from the terms of the first stage, without us receiving hostages, it is sorely mistaken.” Since the implementation of the 42 day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on January 19, Israel has facilitated the entry of at least 600 aid trucks per-day into the Gaza strip.

One Health: The New Godless Quasi-Religion that Ranks Humans Below Nature  

Peloni:  Must Read Article

By Janet Levy | Am Thinker | Mar 3, 2025

A new, Godless, quasi-religion—One Health—is being thrust upon the world. Its apostles say it will save humanity, or rather, life itself. Allied with Marxism in its denigration of the “exploitive nature of capitalism” as is demonstrated in the green movement, it debases humankind by equating us with, even putting us below, all other life forms. Its principal church is the World Health Organization (WHO), so President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the WHO—or gain American control over it—must be seen in the light of this globalist agenda.
