Peloni:  Iran’s reach and objectives are global in nature, something which the West regretfully fails to grasp , even as that reach is extended and the objectives are ever closer to being achieved.

The US has long labeled Iran as “the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism,” yet Tehran’s ambitions extend beyond backing Shia and Sunni Islamist groups in the Middle East. The US Treasury Department sanctioned Sweden’s Foxtrot gang on March 13 for its ties to the regime, underscoring Tehran’s longstanding practice of cultivating criminal networks across Europe and the Americas to assassinate dissidents and target American, European, and Israeli interests.

Peloni:  Trump has now linked the activity of Houthi aggression to the culpability of their masters in Tehran.  The implications of this course correction in American foreign policy are enormous, making Iran directly responsible for their proxy attacks on Israel and the surrounding area should this policy be correctly extended to Iran’s other proxies as it should be.

By Andrea Widburg | Am Thinker | Mar 17, 2025

Things may be about to get interesting in the Middle East, and this time, it has nothing to do with Israel. Just a few hours ago, Trump published a warning to the Iranian mullahs that, unless they restrain the Houthis from firing on international shipping in the Red Sea and on American ships, they will pay a price.

It’s long been known that the Houthis, like Hezbollah and Hamas, are Iranian proxies. They allow Iran to control events in Lebanon, Israel, and Yemen, and by extension, in the nations and waterways surrounding those countries. The most colorful example of this lately was when the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon suffered serious injuries following Israel’s masterful pager attack against Hezbollah.

But what about the Houthis?

Peloni:  An interesting interview with IDSF head of research, Or Yissachar, in which he states that the American attacks have been far more effective than just a show of strength.  Yissachar also addresses the threat arising from Egypt.  

A message to sane American Jews and to non-Jewish friends in America: Israelis really want to see Mike Huckabee become the new Ambassador.

One of the most exhilarating developments arising from the newly re-elected President Trump was his announcement that he was naming former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to be the US Ambassador to Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to dismiss the director of the domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, and the fierce opposition to it, threatens to plunge Israel back into the days of daily mass protests and ominous warnings of civil war. So, what happened?

After months of rising tensions behind the scenes, Netanyahu announced on Sunday evening his intention to fire Bar.

The intelligence chief responded by repudiating the prime minister’s rationale for the move, the personal lack of trust, and said he intended to continue in his position.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | March 6, 2025

*500,000 Arabs, who have been away for over a year, are included in the census, contrary to international regulations. 325,000 were included in the 1997 census, and 400,000 in 2005, according to the Palestinian Election Commission. 100,000 overseas births were added to the census between 1995 and 2014, according to the Palestinian Undersecretary of Interior.

*380,000 East Jerusalem Arabs are doubly-counted – by Israel and by the Palestinian Authority. The number grows steadily due to births.

*Over 200,000 Arabs, who married Israeli Arabs are similarly doubly counted. The number expands steadily due to births.

Think whatever you want about Netanyahu.

We should all be scared by how utterly disdainful Israel’s unelected deep state elites have become of democracy & the elected government.

How insistent they have become that any challenge to their power – power which would be considered absurd and outrageous in the U.S. – is a threat to the essence of Israeli democracy.

Peloni: The apoplectic effect of the war between the effective Juristocracy and the failing democratic institutions in Israel should serve as the example of what lies ahead for America should the unbridled tyranny of judges not be reversed.  Indeed, the whimsical nature of judicial overreach in the US is coming to parallel in direction, while not yet the degree, of that being exercised as the basis of a Juristocracy in Israel.  The tyranny of unelected rogues ruling based on fantastical and damaging ideologies rather than legal precedents and standards, if not codified laws, is a rising and eminent threat to democracy in the US.  The damaging aspects of this threat can be judged simply by witnessing the daily outrages exacted in Israel by the application of arbitrary power from the judicial tyranny which is overruling the application of democracy with reckless abandon.  Indeed, America should carefully consider these outrages, and in solidarity with the Constitution, demand that justice be practiced based upon legal frameworks rather than partisan objectives.  Failing this, America will come to suffer the fate of having to wrench its democratic rights back from these rogues draped in black, and as the example of Israel should indicate, such a process is neither easily achieved nor assured of quick success.  Instead, what is assured is the loss of respect, both domestically and abroad, for the national institutions which have come to be the envy of aspiring democracies in every age since the Founding Fathers first began the American experiment.

Goudsmit Linda: In Britain as in the U.S., population jihad is is the Cloward-Piven strategy for economic collapse on steroids. The globalist elite have welcomed millions of Muslims with hostile norms into western countries to INTENTIONALLY collapse the host country’s economy, and to create cultural chaos. Population jihad is a powerful globalist weapon of war being used to destroy western nation-states from within, in order to impose globalism’s planetary objective: the totalitarian Unistate managed by the lethally corrupt United Nations and its associated organizations. Understanding this inconvenient truth is essential. We are a world at war: Globalism vs. Nation-State. In the United States, President Donald Trump and his DOGE team led by Elon Musk, have exposed USAID as the financial motherlode of globalist corruption that funds its War on America in America with American taxpayer money! These same organizations are operational worldwide and are collapsing the economies of western nations, and attacking the Judeo-Christian tradition that is the infrastructure of western culture. The key is understanding that every destructive policy is INTENTIONAL! We are a world at war whether people realize it or not, and denial is not a survival strategy.

Peloni:  The relevance of this 2023 proposed study stands today as being arguably more relevant than ever.  Note that UNRWA now operates on a $1.6 billion budget and not as stated in this proposal which was written two years ago.

David Bedein | Center For Near East Policy Research Ltd | Original Proposal Dated 2023

Israeli corporations have a de facto monopoly on the provision of supplies to Gaza  and other PA areas. The ability of these corporations to sustain their exclusive  control of this multi-billion dollar market is wholly dependent on COGAT  (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) decision making. Over the past several weeks, COGAT has raised an alarm that humanitarian aid from  UNRWA is not reaching the Palestinian population. Noting that this alarm is  inconsistent with 1000 trucks a day carrying Israeli products into Gaza, the Center for  Near East Policy Research (CFNEPR) contacted 44 donor nations. With the exception  of a nominal reduction in U.S. aid, every donor nation responded emphatically that  UNRWA and hence Gaza, is receiving 100% of its customary donations, an amount  that CFNEPR calculates to be $1.2 billion dollars per year.
