Peloni: The scheme of forcing a policy of something for nothing didn’t work out too well for the indigenous Native American Indians either.

I remember once seeing a cartoon of a Native American chief looking wistfully towards the distant horizon where once his ancestral homeland lay. He was speaking to a stranger about the peace treaties he had made that were all dishonored by many Americans.
Peloni: The obvious next step should have been to see Brook Jackson’s case moving forward, but instead it was dismissed with predjudice, ie the case can not be brought to trial again. For a revealing read on the Brook Jackson case, see : THE COVER-UP NOBODY WILL TOUCH

Each Friday like clockwork, (pun intended) he opened what he affectionately called his junk drawer and stashed his cell phone inside. “Shabbat Shalom,” were his parting words spoken directly to his devices as he closed the door on the material world and, following biblical direction, he refocused on his spiritual self.
After the return of the 20 Israeli hostages who were still alive, and the bodies of 27 deceased hostages whom Hamas had killed in captivity, in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences for murdering Israelis, and the ceasefire arranged two months ago between Hamas and Israel continued, albeit shakily, in force, it was time to move to Phase Two of Trump’s plan to bring a permanent end to the Gaza War. But Hamas has made clear that the most important part of Phase Two — the disarmament of the terror group — will not happen.
More on this immovable obstacle can be found here: “‘Dead on Arrival’: Inside the Breakdown of Second Phase of Gaza Ceasefire and Hamas’s Resurgent Control,” by Debbie Weiss, Algemeiner, December 3, 2025:
Tensions between Israel and Syria have continued in the wake of a November 27 raid in southern Syria by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). On December 4, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), a state media outlet, accused Israel of a new incursion in southern Syria.
“Israeli occupation forces renewed their incursion Thursday evening into Quneitra countryside, attacking Tal Ahmar Sharqi and the outskirts of the town of Kuwaya in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa countryside with artillery shells,” the report said. It is the latest in a series of incidents between Israel and Syria. The last major incursion took place on November 27, when an Israeli raid into the village of Beit Jinn resulted in six IDF soldiers being wounded and at least 13 Syrians killed.
The reality of how such entities and their agents function speaks to the need for more than just the formal listing of the name of an organization like the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood is viewed as a global network of terrorist jihadists, including U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Hamas.
Peloni: This is an important article. As I noted previously, Trump’s reference for the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt held regional significance, even as it failed to cite those chapters directly influencing US policy in Washington and across US institutions and colleges. In this article, Mudar Zahran describes the regional import of Trump’s Executive Order as it applies to Jordan, something which may be quite relevant to what might be coming in the near future. Also note the timing of Trump’s Executive Order being announced just shortly before his statement that Phase II of his peace plan is to be unveiled later this month.

When President Donald Trump issued an executive order moving toward designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization in Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, many asked the predictable question: Why those countries?

On September 29th, Trump issued an Executive Order ensuring the security of Qatar. It stated that the United States would consider an armed attack on the Islamic kingdom as a threat to America’s peace and security.
Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki explains that Trump intends to press Netanyahu to allow the Turks into Gaza. He also explains that with a presence in Gaza and with their puppet ruling Syria, Turkey could replace the Iranians in having surrounded Israel. Bibi must hold firm and tell Trump NO TURKS IN GAZA!
Peloni: Yousef provides an important history lesson here as he describes, among other matters, the history of Arabs and Jews as it relates to “Palestine”.
Peloni: The reality is that the case against Netanyahu stands as an indictment on the entire political, legal, and media establishment in Israel. It stands as a testament to the absurd levels which the elites have weaponized the most basic comodity in a liberal society, namely justice, against the longest serving leader in Israel’s history. So the pardon is in effect eliminating further examination in this case of the those who brought these charges, who manipulated the press coverage, and have set legal precedents which have deteriorated the liberties in Israeli society. Knowing that the use of lawfare could be made against the premiere of the nation indicates that it could be used against any citizen in the nation, and with far less fanfare.

More than 200 celebrities, including Paul Simon, Sting, Ian McKellen, Mark Ruffalo, Margaret Atwood, and Cynthia Nixon, recently signed an open letter to launch a global campaign for the release of jailed Fatah terrorist Marwan Barghouti, referring to him as “a longtime advocate for freedom and dignity for the Palestinian people.”

In mid-November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) “as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. This designation authorizes heightened enforcement against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas.”
Kudos to Governor Abbott as the enforcement now begins:
Competing in the antisemitism sweepstakes along with Francesca Albanese, Roger Waters, Ye, Guy Pearce, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, is a UN official of whom you may not have heard until now. She is Reem Alsalem, who is the UN Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls. So you would think, given her job, that she would. take a keen interest in identifying and publicizing examples of such violence, especially of rape. But that turns out not to be the case.
Peloni: If peace is not possible, disincentivizing war may be an important alternative. Yet, it is still relevant to recognize that the distinction between peace and disincentivizing war remains to be a significant gulf, especially in the Middle East where war is about religious conquest, something which becomes all the more relevant when we grasp Trump’s efforts to grant Qatar and Turkey any meaningful role in this process. Indeed, the leadership in Turkey and the Qatar are well known supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Erdogan has often spoken of his dreams of empire. Yet, these two nations driven by their radical ideology of conquest continue to be promoted by the US, and the Trump administration continues to try to grant them sensitive roles in Trump’s plan to disincentivize war. Nations which are led by dreams of a world wide caliphate will find it an easy choice to scuttle Trump’s plans for the future, even at the cost of billions of dollars in revenue. It seems impossible that this is not clearly understood by the current administration.
Upcoming transit route in Armenia is the missing link to connect Central Asia to Israel, Middle East

A new transit corridor that will be built in Armenia jointly with the United States is the missing link in connecting nations from Central Asia to Europe carving a path all the way to the Middle East with the hope of creating trade—and, ultimately, peace.
