The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its appendages such as the Mobilization of the Dispossessed (Baseej), the Quds Force and at least four security and intelligence services account for less than five percent of the Iranian population. Yet they have the largest share of plum jobs in the public sector. Pictured: The head of the IRGC, Hossein Salami, attends a military parade in Tehran, on April 17, 2024.

Peloni:  The US administration was laying the groundwork to press Israel into making this land concession to Hezbollah since before October 7, and their every move since October 7 has been an attempt to return to pressuring Israel to do so.  Indeed, as Hezbollah has depopulated the North by shooting thousands of rockets and drones into Israel, it is Washington’s position that Israel should reward such acts of war with land concessions which will only embolden Hezbollah to greater outrages.  In fact, the only land concessions which should be sought should actually come from Hezbollah and the only peace which should be accepted should be that which comes after a massive Israeli incursion into Hezbollah occupied Lebanon, forcing the terrorist entity back to the Litani river if not further north as advised by David Wurmser.  Peace does not come from seeking faux peace deals with terrorists but rather thru the willingness to fight and win wars when the need arises.  Well, the need arose nearly a year ago if not before that, and now it only remains to be seen whether Israel will accept an imposed land concession or if she will force the Iranian proxy into permanently retreating north and ending their assault.

Making deals with Islamic terrorists doesn’t work.

Daniel Greenfield | Sept 9, 2024

The appeasement lobby only has one big idea when it comes to Islamic terrorists and any other enemies.

1. Give them land

2. When the terrorists attack anyway, explain that it’s because they didn’t get enough land last time

3. Give them more land

The not-so-hidden subtext.

by Robert Spencer | Sept 10, 2024

No one really knows why Tucker Carlson featured historian/fabulist Darryl Cooper on his podcast, but one thing is clear: Cooper wasn’t there to talk history. His historical points were all made in order to support present-day political positions. Even his demonization of Winston Churchill served this purpose: it was meant to change people’s minds not so much about World War II, but about the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In July of 1944, a year and some months before the official end to the Second World War, allied powers gathered at the Bretton Woods Hotel in New Hampshire to hammer out a new economic order that would dominate the world at war’s end. The meeting alone expressed great confidence in a coming victory. They were not wrong.

Peloni:  As I stated before, Judicial Reform is an immediate and existential necessity which must be implemented as soon as possible.

For years, the left has rallied around the idea that Netanyahu is the problem. The truth reveals a justice system that has become a law unto itself.

Israeli journalist Amit Segal ran an exposé on TV earlier this week about a major scandal in the justice system, highlighting many illegal actions and the political/ideological motives within the highest seats of Israel’s justice system.

By contrast, Israel’s mainstream media and Jewish publications around the globe have pushed the narrative that Israel’s justice system is under siege by the religious, right-wing political camp. Over the years, this narrative has been carefully crafted to frame any criticism or call for reform as “an assault on democracy itself.”

Peloni:  It is unbelievable that it might be needed to make this statement, but Trump is a the greatest ally which American Jews & Israel have ever had in the White House, and he is running against what will almost certainly be seen to be the greatest threat which American Jews & Israel has ever had in the White House.  It really is just that simple.  So, once again, Americans should choose wisely this November, but American Jews should be particularly reticent from pulling the lever for the Democrats.

"After seeing so many Jews say such horrible things about him, I decided to look further into Trump’s background to learn more about his feelings toward the Jews. This is what I learned:

Is it now remarkable that Harris/Walz is a show about nothing, just like the Old Seinfeld comedy series as it was characterized to be?

“A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West Today.”  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The United States of America is in a dark period, a dark room. The darkest in our history. Not so much from foreign enemies but from domestic invaders. Our existence is in question. When it is entered, it can be discussed at another time, but we’re in that room. The government believes it can do anything it feels like while people tread carefully. We are as top-heavy as we can get. The bureaucracy is at a point of being imperious and noxious. The government creates a problem and then sells us the ‘fix’ that gets us more profound in the hole, solving nothing. And we pay for it all. We always pay for it. A Harris presidency would be the final descent. —the worst decision we can make.

The Constitution established three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. While each branch clearly requires employees to carry out the branch’s function, the Founders manifestly did not intend for these employees to call the shots. However, things have changed. Wilson planted the seeds of a vast bureaucracy, FDR grew those seeds, and the modern Democrat party, from JFK to Biden, turned the bureaucracy into an uncontrolled monster. Now, as a preemptive strike against a possible Trump presidency, the Harris-Biden team is trying to make it impossible for Trump to dislodge the bureaucrats or their regulations.

The media has played a pivotal role in reinforcing ignorance about Israel’s enemies by repeating their antisemitic slogans without exposing how they distort the truth. Understanding the relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Israel helps provide perspective of the nature of the evil we are forced to confront.

For at least four decades, African-American and Jewish relations have soured and whatever platitudes may be uttered by recognized leaders of both groups, the rank and file among both groups often hold aggressive and condescending views of each other. Few remember or care to celebrate the heyday of the close, cordial and fraternal relations in the 1940s that differed from the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s when many Liberal Jewish activists were often in the forefront of that struggle, sometimes to the chagrin and open resentment of many young Blacks.

Prior to that time, African-Americans often took the lead among gentile support by way of public statements in favor of rescuing Jews from the Holocaust and helping to create a Jewish state. These forgotten older alliances were linked in part to the political action campaigns undertaken by what many liberal Jews today label as “The Far Right” of the Zionist movement. It was identified with so-called underground “dissident movements” in Palestine—The Irgun and the Stern Gang (known by the acronym of LEHI, the Hebrew acronym for “Lochamei LeHerut Yisrael”—Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) and managed in the United States by Peter Bergson (code name of Hillel Kook), a Zionist emissary from Jerusalem connected with the Revisionist Movement, headed by Menachem Begin.

Peloni:  This is just the latest of a string of bizarre claims being uniquely championed by Candace Owens as she seems intent upon raising the medieval perception of Jews as the root of all evil and the target of even the most silly of claims.  Indeed, even her ally in hatred of all things Jewish, Nick Fuentes, has distanced himself from some of Owen’s most weirdly obsessive and obviously false claims including that Ataturk and Stalin were Jews.

President Trump Accurately Identifies the Institution at the Epicenter of Government Controlled Voter Fraud

Sundance | Sept 8, 2024

CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential…

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2024

President Trump sends out a “cease and desist” message that absolutely nails the institutional origin of the voter fraud process as it is permitted and facilitated. Although slightly using a coded message, within the spelling, punctuation and pertinence, the identification “DoJ” is transparently clear. I hope everyone can see it [“Depravity of Justice” instead of “DoJ”].

Peloni: The war in Gaza is winding down, the political leadership in the US is distracted by elections, and Hezbollah continues its assault in the North.  Hence this timing could prove uniquely set for Israel to finally deal with Hezbollah.  The opportunity cost of doing so, however leaves Israel dealing with the remnants of Hamas in the South, the flareups in Judea & Samaria, and the war aims in the South yet to be met.  Additionally, if Israel were to delay its war with Hezbollah, it would give the Israeli forces time to rest, the further development of Israel’s Laser weapons systems, and the potential of having a more friendly ally in the White House should Trump win in November.  This latter point should be tempered with the recognition that the Trump White House failed to move against Hezbollah and in fact funded the Hezbollah led govt with US aid, which distinctly contrasted with its de-funding of Iran, the PA and UNWRA, raising the question of how much latitude Trump would allow Israel in the North, presuming that he does in fact overcome the election fraud which he will be facing in November’s election.  Beyond all of this, if the war is delayed, the residents of the North will fail to return to their homes, and Israel will be projecting a posture of weakness rather than strength as Hezbollah continues to depopulate the north and wreaks havoc on the countryside there and beyond.

Considering all of this, on whole I would argue for moving on the North sooner rather than later, though there are clear benefits and dilemmas associated with either moving now or later.
