Peloni:  This is an important analysis by Sundance.  Whereby he explains the context for many choices already made by Trump.

Anytime the professional leftists lose anything, they immediately become victims. Whether defeated in the battle of ideas (retreat to safe spaces), defeated in the field of pop culture, or even defeated linguistically through debate (words are violence). Whenever the professional left loses, they immediately become victims. It’s what they do.

The professional political left, newest version from the Chicago spawn of Dohrn/Ayers, has been waging full combat Lawfare via a weaponized government for the past 16 years. However, Obama/Plouffe were defeated, “their kind” rose again and won the 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

Peloni: Hazem Alghabra paints a picture in which there is little hope for the Assad’s regime in Syria unless the US enters the war to achieve this outcome, and that the Rebels, despite their radical Islamist nature, are currently gaining popular support as they move against Assad.

Just because it’s an anti-Israel narrative doesn’t mean you have to believe it. Opinion.

Naomi Linder Kahnis the Director of the International Division of Regavim, an organization dedicated to preserving Israel’s sovereignty and protecting its resoruces.

The Umm al-Hiran case underscores a critical truth: Manipulation and misinformation have fueled the anti-Israel narrative for years. The real facts, upheld repeatedly by Israel’s courts, are clear:

Until recently, and for many decades, a handful of Bedouin squatters belonging to the Abu al-Qiyan clan blocked the development of a new, legal Israeli community in the Negev; holding the town of Dror [Hiran] and the 2000 families who should be living there hostage. They held successive Israeli governments over a barrel, constantly upping their demands and spreading defamatory accusations of racism and dispossession.

All American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation, President-elect Donald Trump promised during a rally against antisemitism in Washington.

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.

On November 27, 2024, at four in the morning in the Holy Land, the government of Israel agreed to cease attacking the Shiite Muslims in southern Lebanon. At the end of the speech explaining the plan to the people of Israel, PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has a “sacred mission of releasing our hostages,” using religious language befitting a region famous for its religions.

Indeed, the oldest book still in use in the world, the Jewish Bible, contains arguably the oldest record of hostage-taking. Abraham, the progenitor of the Jewish people, had a nephew named Lot. Lot was living not in Sodom but nearby when an alliance of five communities warred against an alliance of four. During the fight, Lot was kidnapped (Genesis 14:14-15).

Peloni:  This is a very important video with David Wurmser.  Wurmser explains that Israel must pursue a quick completion of eliminating the Iranian threat so it can shift to dealing with the Islamist threats emerging in the post-Ayatollah world.  He once again addresses the feckless nature of Sisi’s ‘alliance’ with Israel while also noting that the Abraham Accords partners are not willing to openly support Israel in a meaningful way.  He explains that by quickly bringing the regime in Tehran to a speedy end, Israel will be far more successful move for Israel and will likely result in far more substantive peace treaties for Israel than making strategic sacrifices to placate potential peace partners.

Peace thru strength leads peace, while peace thru weakness leads to war.

‘Western Civilization Will Collapse’

Peloni:  The claim made below suggesting that there is no significant military presence by Hamas in Gaza while Israel continues its “relentless seige” demonstrates a clear bias on Boulos’ part to preserve what remains of Hamas going forward, as it is in fact against Hamas that Israel’s actions in the North are directed against.  For such a key member of Trump’s inner circle to hold such an ill informed opinion, is particularly concerning.  Recalling how impossible it was for Trump to fire his son in law during his first term, this presents an importantly worrisome outlook for Trump’s administration, even with the many important allies of Israel staffing many key positions.  Trump should not have picked Boulos.

SON-IN-LAW. Massad Boulos, 53, is a Lebanese-American businessman who built his fortune selling cars in Nigeria. He was thrust into Donald Trump’s inner circle after his son Michael Boulos married Tiffany Trump, one of the US president’s daughters, in 2022.

VISION. «The vision is to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East », says Massad Boulos in his exclusive interview with @LePoint, describing a region that « has been suffering for a long time ». « We have four years of work and we hope to achieve something that will be sustainable for the future and generations to come. »

Peloni:  I can’t conceive of anyone embracing anything so thoroughly evil as the mutilation of children.  The societal movement which advocates on behalf of such a specific tragedy should be shunned, delegitimized and prosecuted.

Peloni:  Peter Navarro is one of the great appointments which Trump made in his first term as President.  His loyalty to the constitution, the American public and to the president himself, none of which posed any conflicts, provided the nation with a voice of clarity and honesty, for which he was duly persecuted.  It is greatly satisfying to see that Navarro will once be serving in the second Trump White House.  Now let us see where Trump will place Flynn.

Self-portrait, Prague (Peter Kien, 1936)

Eric Rozenman’s recent book, Jews Make the Best Demons (New English Review Press,2018), is a depressing reminder of the reality of renewed anti-Semitism to a degree unimaginable to those of us whose parents agonized through the 1930s. We grew up secure in the belief that the Allied victory in World War II had ended this insane carry-over of hatred from the Middle Ages with its long tradition of religious bigotry. How wrong we were!

Peloni:  Must see video.  As usual, Martin Sherman eliminates routine delusions as he discusses reality on a range of topics.  He insists that Egypt must allow the Gazans refuge from the war, and if needed Israel should focus relentless pressure upon Egypt to allow the Gazans enter Egypt of secure lives elsewhere, and that Israel should extend sovereignty over Gaza entirely..  He explains that the incoming Trump govt is far more hawkish than the Israeli govt and that Netanyahu should harness this reality in dealing with the intolerable situation of the Gazans who are collectively culpable for the horrors of October 7.  Much more discussed as well.

Progressives rationalize tenets that justify atrocities against Jews and destroying a sovereign democratic state, while they cheer Hamas for resisting an “occupation” that only exists in the minds of leftists, terrorists, and Palestinian Arab revisionists.

Islamist Swastika  protester

After the horrific events of last year and the war that followed, Hamas was finally recognized as a genocidal terror organization – but only by some and only for a moment. The global community almost immediately cast Hamas in a conciliatory light by contextualizing its brutality as “resistance to occupation,” though Israel withdrew from Gaza nearly twenty years ago.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) held its annual summit in Kuwait on Sunday and issued a statement that sounded like Iran in thrashing Israel, but that aligned with the Jewish state in opposing the Islamic Republic’s troublemaking behavior. However, for the Gulf “wish list” to come true, Gulf countries need to end the discrepancy between their rhetoric and policy. If the Gulf wants Iran reined in, they’d be well advised to openly side with Israel.

The dichotomy might have resulted from the GCC incorporating the contradictory policies of its six member states. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is closest to Israel. Qatar is the closest to Iran. Saudi Arabia is more naturally allied with the UAE. Oman is with Qatar. Kuwait, indebted to America for liberating it from Saddam Hussein’s army but now under the spell of a surging Islamist wave, is in the middle.
