Peloni: In an enlightened society, it is unbearable to tolerate such yokes of depravity which seek to draw the modern world back towards an age in which such barbarity and oppressive subjugation of Jews was both publicly commonplace and institutionally popularized, and yet, this is exactly what has been accelerating across American campuses. Not one more day should pass before the investigations, indictments and prosecutions should begin. If civilization is to be preserved, it must immediately move to purge its most basic institutions of any support or even tolerance for the call to savagery against Jews, which has been masked as some perverse re-write of the Freedom of Speech.
The issues on campus and elsewhere extend beyond free-speech protections.
In “Mr. Trump, Investigate My Campus” (op-ed, Feb. 3) Prof. Steven Davidoff Solomon calls for an investigation of incidents of antisemitism at the University of California, Berkeley. Chancellor Rich Lyons suggests that such an investigation isn’t needed, citing the First Amendment (“No Need to Investigate My Campus, Mr. Trump,” Letters, Feb. 6).
From my meeting with Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and Likud MK Mr. Nissim Vaturi, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to peace, prosperity, and the right to self-determination for both peoples—the Jordanian-Palestinian and Israeli.

Peloni: Facilitated emigration has always been the only real solution to resolve the Pal cleft which has been weaponized against Israel. Of course this weaponization was the very basis for the Arabs and collective West to refuse to consider any Pal emigration as viable. For Israel, it was the dependency on the Hashemites as some form of necessary ally to their survival which held them addicted to maintaining the Cleft in place, even though the Hashemites were neither necessary nor even a reliable ally to Israel. For these reasons, the Cleft has been maintained in place over the decades where the Pals have themselves become the victims of this cruel game, and whereby their well trained savagery brought about attack after attack on innocent Jews, and the response was consistently and inexplicably leveraged by Israel’s allies and enemies alike towards demands of greater and greater concessions from Israel without any beneficial effect. It is time to exercise the legitimate option of facilitated emigration to resolve this conflict, and a rational and efficient plan has in fact already been formulated and proposed towards this goal. It is the Jordan Option as described by Ted in his The Ultimate Alternate Israel-Palestine Solution (Jordan Option), Memo To Kushner, and other essays listed at the top of the main page of this site. We will hopefully see this plan come to fruition in the not too distant future. In fact, the description of the creation of a city for the Pals in Jordan, as mentioned by Trump, was one of the many elements which was described by Ted and Mudar in the Jordan Option.

In the wake of the horrific condition of the last three Israelis released by Hamas from captivity in Gaza, U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred the pot again. He and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have ratcheted up the pressure on the terrorists with Israel taking clear steps toward the resumption of military operations in the Gaza Strip should the president’s conditions not be met.
Peloni: Benz returns to the Joe Rogan show to update and expand on his previous reporting there. It is three hours long, so I would focus on the first hour, but it is all very enlightening.
Peloni: The reality is that either the Pals will remain as a existential threat to Israel or they will find accommodations in some third party nation or nations. The connections between the Pals of Gaza and Jordan and Egypt are relevant and significant, and their continuing role in amplifying the violence against Israel from Hamastan is quite evident. When this plan is finally implemented, it will completely alter the dynamics in the Middle East, in a way which is both stabilize the region, and strengthen the US position against its peer rivals.
Emirati ambassador acknowledges challenges but sees no viable replacement.
The United Arab Emirates considers U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for the Gaza Strip “difficult,” but currently sees no alternative, according to UAE Ambassador to the United States Yousef al-Otaiba. Speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, al-Otaiba emphasized that Abu Dhabi is open to discussions but has yet to see a viable replacement for Trump’s proposal.
After U.S. President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas on Tuesday, many Israeli leaders responded favorably and urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to follow through on the president’s threats.
Two cases, to be heard jointly by the Supreme Court, which could potentially bankrupt the Palestinian Authority and the PLO, will be decided in the next few months. More on the cases, and their possible devastating effect on the Palestinian Authority’s finances, can be found here: “Supreme Court to hear case on Palestinian Authority’s ‘martyr’ payments,” by Marc Rod, Jewish Insider, February 10, 2025:
Peloni: Williams provides a particularly rational overview of the US negotiations with Russia, and why Ukraine and its supporters might have significant reason to be concerned. Ukraine can not win this war, and they can’t even fight it without the US support, which Trump is offsetting to Europe, which has likewise no means by which to back up their empty words which have always been characterized to fight to the last Ukrainian. I recommend focusing on the first 25min.

Since October 7th, Egypt has:
– Supported and celebrated Hamas’ terrorist attacks, including through state ministers who issued statements welcoming and celebrating the attacks, as well as referring to Israel as the “Zionist entity”, renouncing Egypt’s recognition of Israel and the Jewish state’s right to exist.
Peloni: RFK is finally confirmed to lead the HHS, so it will be refreshing to hear him comment on the coming Stargate nightmare which was announced during his confirmation period, while he remained noticeably silent on the subject. The use of mRNA has been shown to be highly toxic and has been linked to unknown numbers of literally untold tragedies. It is time for this silence to be ended, and for RFK, now as the Sec of HHS, to directly address the elephant in the room which is the tragedy and consequences of having used and intending to continue using, mRNA shots under the indemnified liability protection of being a ‘vacccine’.

Linda Goudsmit: Another excellent analysis by Daniel Greenfield. For me, what is missing from this article is the fact that Iran’s proxy, Hamas, declared war on Israel October 7, 2024 when it invaded Israel and slaughtered 1200 Israelis. In what universe is Israel not entitled to the spoils of that war? Israel never should have surrendered Gaza in its ill-advised 2005 land-for-peace deal, and now Gaza belongs to Israel once again. NEVER AGAIN is a reference to the reality of the Holocaust, but it should apply equally to any land-for-peace deal. Why? Because Israel’s Muslim enemies, including the Arab Muslim settlers in Gaza, are doctrinally committed to Israel’s extinction and to the annihilation of the Jewish people. So, this American Jew agrees with President Trump on resettling Gazan Muslims in Arab countries, because AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN is the inconvenient truth and reality of the Middle East!
DANIEL GREENFIELD | Feb 12, 2025
Is it the right thing to do and can it work? Yes it can.
After President Trump proposed resettling the Arab Muslim settlers currently living in Gaza, there was an outbreak of furious objections from politicians, activists and media outlets.

After repeated threats by the U.S. and Israel, Hamas declared its decision to continue the hostage release deal in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners on Thursday afternoon.
This conservative Jew used to be a big fan of Tucker Carlson when he had the highest ratings as an opinionator on FOX-TV, but then he outed himself as an anti-Jew, which likely played a role in his firing that otherwise mystified his fans.
Hamas has angrily rejected Trump’s proposal to move the Gazans out of the Strip, while what he accurately calls a “demolition site” full of rubble can be cleared away. The Palestinian Authority, with slightly less venom, has done the same. Trump had suggested that the Gazans could be resettled in both Egypt and Jordan, but both Egyptian General El-Sisi and King Abdullah of Jordan have also rejected the plan. El-Sisi says that Egypt will not take in any Gazans, and Abdullah has agreed to take in 2,000 children. But what about the people of Gaza? Do they all reject the Trump plan? Are they determined to remain in Gaza?
UNRWA policy discussions often waste precious activist energy on the unachievable goal of getting rid of UNRWA – which would require the agreement of a majority of UN members. However, the UN will never vote for a measure that openly favors Israel. Instead, UNRWA policy change must be articulated in terms of universal United Nations values, which stress peace and reconciliation. It cannot be presented as a pro-Israel resolution. The working assumption is that UN members and relief agencies* funding the $1.6 billion UNRWA budget, 58% of which is earmarked for education**, ascribe to UN values of peace and reconciliation. UNRWA policy change must therefore be couched as an UNRWA Peace initiative, for UNRWA to conform to UN values.
