Peloni:  The war of attrition in Ukraine continues with what appears to be meager gains by Russia over the past year, but what has matured in the absense of massive gains in territory has been strategic advances in key areas while gains along the entire Russo-Ukrainian line of battle, all while Ukraine failed to provide its yearly summer offensive.  While recognizing that Ukraine’s summer offensives have been better known for its mere propaganda value than for battlefield gains, the absense of this year’s theatrics display perhaps both better strategic leadership and the reality that Ukraine’s deficits of men and moral have led to greater stewardship of these dwindling assets as they lost ground across the entire line of battle over the past year.  Perhaps the war on Russia’s economy will have an effect, but Ukraine’s forces stand with their back up against a series of  strategic gorges, and as Mr. Legends reminds us, Russia likes to fight in the snow…

Peloni:  When the time comes for Hamas to surrender, the IDF will be the “we” which Trump references here, and there will be no constraint on Israel by the presence of Israeli hostages.  All of this, however, will come AFTER all the Israeli hostages are returned home.  The living have been returned, but many of the dead remain in Gaza at this point, but this will not last foreveer.  In the meantime, Hamas will try to evoke the imagery needed to cower its enemies into submission, while its coffers are refilled with Aid-For-Gaza contributions, which is a truly sickening prospect being entertained in the Trump plan.

The direct quote from the president:

“Hamas will disarm, and if they don’t, we will disarm them, and It will happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm. Do you understand me?” (X).

#FirstpostPoV: The US-brokered peace deal in Gaza is entering its second stage, which requires Hamas to disarm and give up its political ambitions. Will Hamas agree to this condition? How will Israel react if Hamas rejects this demand?

• Post-War Management Approved: Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on October 13 that 15 so far unnamed Palestinian technocrats have been approved in conjunction with Israel to manage post-war Gaza. “We need to deploy them to take care of the daily life of the people in Gaza,” Abdelatty told reporters at the Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit, which involved over 20 world leaders. U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace proposal for Gaza calls for a “temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people of Gaza.” The committee will be “made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the ‘Board of Peace,’ which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump.”

Madeline Brooks:  As tense as most of us are about the next bad thing to happen in Gaza, here’s a bigger picture of what to worry about. Sorry to bother you, and I’m feeling it too.

But it’s important. Do any of us know what the “technocratic” control of Gaza would mean? Techno whistle blower Patrick Wood sees it as a totally controlled digital and biometric society, a model for establishing control of our own troubled cities, like Chicago. Or like anywhere, because the ultimate goal of globalists is digital control of everyone, everywhere – according to Wood. Actually, this was in the news for a while as Agenda 2021, 2030, before it got displaced by more immediate news.

Gaza, the total basket case, would be a good test case, even if it took some long range planning to get to this point, which sounds pretty diabolical. And maybe paranoid, but i’m willing to look into it, and you might be too.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | October 15, 2025

*Israel’s critical contribution to the deterrence, minimization and elimination of Iran’s nuclear, ballistic, conventional and terroristic capabilities – which poses a clear and present threat to all pro-US Arab regimes, as well as to the US national and homeland security – was demonstrated by the October 2024 and June 2025 Israel’s air force offensives, which devastated Iran’s air force, air defenses and ballistic capabilities.

*Israel’s June 13, 2025 air force offensive on Iran paved the road to the June 21, 2025 successful US bombing of three major Iranian nuclear installations, unimpeded by Iran’s air force and air defenses, which were devastated by the Israeli offensive. no other ally of the US could have demonstrated such intelligence and operational capabilities, rendering an exceptional added-value to the us posture of deterrence, regionally and globally.

In a stunning display of masterful diplomacy and unyielding resolve, President Donald Trump has once again proven himself the unrivaled peacemaker of our era, orchestrating the release of the final 20 Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas for over two agonizing years.

Peloni:  This is an important article.  Without addressing the open support and advocacy of Jihad inherrant in Islamic society and religious teachings, any attempt at peace should be understood to be a practice in the art of hudna.  Accepting political deception employed towards the goal of ultimate conquest is not a peaceful endeavor, it is simply a staged surrender.

The myth That Calls Itself a Peace Declaration

Aynaz Anni Cyrus | Oct 14, 2025

I stayed fairly quiet yesterday. I was told, politely, of course, to “let people celebrate” for a day. So I did. I gave it 24 hours while the headlines cheered the return of hostages and the signing of yet another “peace” agreement.

Now the day is over. And I’m back with the reality that seems to be missing from the table.

Janet Levy:  14 minutes if you can stand it!

Walsh talks about Kirk’s abandonment of the pro-Israel side ‘for good reason’ and blames Jews for not winning hearts and minds. He thinks we should check ourselves and see what we’re doing wrong. If so many people are now opposed to Israel, we need to reevaluate our strategy and policies. According to Walsh, the Jews are not engaging in enough self-reflection.

There’s no recognition of antisemitism and anti-Israel propaganda and how it feeds people with falsehoods about Israel’s existential war on seven fronts as well as our history. Walsh mentions Candace Owens as if she’s a normative voice. He justifies Kirk’s continuing relationship with Carlson despite his platforming Holocaust deniers and antisemites who lie about Jews, Jewish history and Israel.

Truly sickening!

It is no secret that the Islamic Republic has long sponsored proxy groups abroad, yet far less is known about how these same networks have been used to protect the regime at home. Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite militias, and the Afghan Fatemiyoun Brigade have all played roles in suppressing anti-regime movements inside Iran. Recently, reports of these fighters harassing Iranian female university students have ignited a new wave of public outrage.

Between October 6 and 11, residents of Iran’s western Hamedan Province protested after reports emerged that Iraqi fighters studying at Bu-Ali Sina University had been targeting Iranian female students for so-called “temporary marriages”—a practice permitted under Shiite law and frequently exploited by entities affiliated with Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) to sexually exploit women and children.

The New York Times has just published the six-page memo written by Yahya Sinwar, setting out what Hamas operatives should do to the Israelis once they finally smash into southern Israel. It makes for instructive reading. Christine Douglass-Williams just wrote about this here, and more on the Sinwar memo can be found here: “Target civilians, record carnage: What Yahya Sinwar wrote in his 2022 October 7 memo – NYT,” Jerusalem Post, October 11, 2025:

A special army unit found a digitalized copy of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s six-page handwritten memo, which explicitly called for the terrorist group to target Israeli civilians ahead of the October 7 invasion, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

As a NPA Independent, who voted for President Trump twice, I can honestly say, as someone who has also done extensive doctoral studies and worked professionally as a consultant, taught, and is widely published in this and related fields of study, that Trump’s October 2025 speech before the Israeli Knesset/Parliament regarding the latest cessation of hostilities in the Hamas butcher-sired war in Gaza, was perhaps the greatest he or any other leader has ever given related to the overall Arab-Israeli conflict and that sub conflict involving Arabs, who only very recently in recorded history, renamed themselves “Palestinians,” but in reality moved into the area from surrounding countries, as well.

Here’s President Trump’s historical speech:
