Montenegro and Palestine; Delusions of National Grandeur, Historic Injustice and Self-Determination  

Dr. Norman Berdichevsky 

Unless you happened to catch the 30 second news item on May 22, 2006 on the more internationally-oriented networks such as the BBC or CNN, you probably don’t know or care that Podgorica is the capital of the newly proclaimed independent state of Montenegro. The country’s independence supporters gained a narrow 55% majority with the aid of many migrant voters returning from abroad and restored the map of the Balkans to more what it looked like in 1914.

The old “new” country currently has a total population of just over 620,000 and its independence deprived Serbia its access to the sea. At the end of the Balkan wars on the eve of World War I, the demand for a union of the Southern Slavs into one “Greater Serbia” (eventually to be called Yugoslavia) was the great cause of all those who set what came to be called “national self-determination” highest on the totem pole of human endeavor.

PM Netanyahu delivers speech before Congress  

Peloni: Netanyahu spoke before a resoundingly supportive crowd, with half the Dems missing from the gallery.  Yet, his real audience was not the Dems and not the Reps.  It wasn’t Biden, and it wasn’t Trump.  It was the American people, and to them he provided a clear picture of what Israel has endured in this war and in the Simchat Torah Massacre.  He explained that this was a war between civilization and barbarism, and that the party responsible for this barbarism is Iran, a nation which is focused on the destruction of America as well as Israel.  He explained to the American people that the interests of America and that of Israel are aligned, and that a strong Israel provides for a strong America, and that providing Israel with the arms and means to face off the enemies of America in the region makes America safer and American involvement unnecessary.  This was the message which the terrified Dems dreaded being put before the American people as it will resonate with the American people, who still remains to be Israel’s true ally in the US.

Israel Update: Netanyahu in Congress – More Than Meets the Eye  

Peloni:  Mike and Gadi explain the circumstances and pitfalls which Bibi will need to traverse in his trip to Washington, each with their own predictions as to what will be discussed in Bibi’s speech.  As they explain, the ultimate point which Bibi will be informing the American people mirrors closely the message he brought in his last address before Congress nearly a decade ago, namely that the threat from Iran is real and imminently focused upon America and American interests.  The administration has gone to great lengths to avoid this message being brought by Bibi, specifically because Bibi has the means and talent to describe this clearly to the American people.

J13: The Protection Team  

Tierney Real News | July 20, 2024

Hopefully, by now, you’ve had a chance to review my introductory newsletter on the attempted assassination of President Trump. I’ve decided that the best way to present the ever-changing and overwhelming amount of evidence coming out (some contradictory) regarding what really happened that day is to focus on one segment per newsletter.

Candace Owens Pulls Out of Trump Fundraiser  

Peloni:  Very good news from Jewish Insider.  I was quite disturbed upon first reading earlier today that Owens was to be among the headliners of the Trump fundraiser in question.  The openly antisemitc sentiments which she has advocated are iniquitously malicious, based upon vicious stereotypes and fed by ignorant historical revisionism.  I would like to believe that this will be the end of this story, but I rather suspect that Owen’s increasing obsession with the Jews is not a passing fad.  In any event, I could not be more pleased by this report.

Ring of fire: Isn’t it time to consider a direct response against Iran?  

Israel is now at a crossroads. Will it continue to crush and destroy the military capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, even at the possible heavy price of a death sentence for the hostages?

On September 25, 2021, Gen. Gholamali Rashid, commander of the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), quoted remarks made by the Quds Corps commander Qasem Soleimani:  “I have assembled for you six armies outside Iranian territory, and I have created a corridor 1,500 km. long and 1,000 km. wide all the way to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea… One army is in Lebanon. It is called Hezbollah. Another army is in Palestine and it is called Hamas and Islamic Jihad (IJ). One army is in Syria. Another army is in Iraq and is called the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and another army is in Yemen and is called Ansar Allah (i.e., the Houthis).

A two-state solution – but on both sides of the River Jordan  

By Victor Sharpe | July 22, 2024

There has never in all of recorded history existed an independent, sovereign Arab nation called Palestine. It is a fraudulent history of a fraudulent people in a fraudulent land.

The phrase “Two State Solution” has been embraced by politicians and journalists alike, repeated endlessly, and touted as the panacea for a “just and equitable” solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

It has assumed the repetitious role of a muezzin’s call to Islamic prayer. But it is based on erroneous geography and history, on a mixture of wishful thinking, naiveté and a brilliant Arab propaganda campaign of disinformation and falsehood. To understand why, it is necessary to learn a small but vital chapter of Middle Eastern history.

Secret Service Had Front Row Seats For A Trump Assassination

U.S. Can’t Ignore Central Asia Much Longer  

Peloni:  Sherman describes how US foreign policy blunders have left the US in an ironic state of growing isolation without the means or competence to change this situation, even as significant opportunities present themselves.  The leader of the Free World is more and more marching to its own drum, abandoning partners, betraying allies, and destabilizing their own position in the world.  While America needs a return to good governance, the world needs a return to good leadership.

By Martin Sherman | July 22, 2024

“After only one year of President Biden being in office, we have seen the complete collapse of Afghanistan and a return of the Taliban rule; Russia on the verge of war with Ukraine, in what could be the largest invasion in Europe since World War II; the rise of authoritarianism in Latin America … and Iran’s continued build-up of its nuclear program.” Rep. Michael McCaul. R-Texas, Biden’s Foreign Policy Failures.

“U.S. foreign policy during the Biden administration has abandoned allies, strengthened adversaries, and put U.S. national security at risk.” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Biden’s Strategic Failures in Foreign Policy,

Biden Unfit To Be Candidate, Fit To Be President  

Daniel Greenfield | July 23, 2024

After a few weeks of media hit pieces,

donor pressure and calls by party leaders, Joe Biden did what Donald J Trump refused to do in 2016 or 2024, and announced that he was dropping out of the campaign to focus on “fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
