PELONI:  The Astroturf expansion of the wave of Islamized terror spreading across Europe exposes the combined consequences of Europe’s policies of failed integration, parallel societies, and political reluctance to confront uncomfortable realities. While France, Sweden, and Belgium struggle with successive waves of violence, Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni has chosen a different approach: stricter immigration enforcement, tougher penalties for rioting, greater scrutiny of foreign-funded religious institutions, and a renewed insistence that everyone living in Italy abide by Italian law. Milan’s peaceful second weekend of demonstrations reveals that decisive action can resort in restoring public order, even as the long-term outcome, even for Italy, remains anything but certain. The challenge facing Italy is the challenge which stands before the entire West – can the West defend its national identity while maintaining democratic freedoms and the rule of law.  Order requires the exercise of authority, which must be enforced with even greater effect when insurrections and wanton violence is used to diminish civil order and the expression of normalized liberties.  France, Sweden and Belgium all failed this test as if by inexplicable acts of surrender from the outset.  Italy chose a wiser path, and its citizens are safer and more secure for the clarity of Italy’s response to the disorder and mayhem which extended from failed policies for which Italy too is guilty of advancing.  Yet, will Italy have the strength of purpose to leverage its identity over these damaging policies beyond maintaining order?  Will Meloni respond the threat rising against Europe by reversing these policies to obviate the need for such rigorous law enforcement activities?

Ilhan Omar that her objection to repeated demands that Muslim officials condemn Hamas and al-Qaeda was “entirely correct.” Speakers on the same programs accused “the Jewish Federation” of funding neo-Nazis and refused to condemn terrorism “as a Muslim.”

How an Ancient Iraqi Textile Became a Symbol of Historic Erasure

History is an uncompromising record of facts, but in the modern geopolitical arena, it is frequently hijacked by propaganda. Perhaps no single object embodies this distortion more than the black-and-white keffiyeh. Promoted globally today as an indigenous symbol of Palestinian identity, the scarf’s modern political narrative is built upon a profound rewriting of history. In truth, the garment’s authentic roots trace back to ancient Mesopotamian fishing networks, while its modern weaponization was forged through a direct lineage of 20th-century Nazi collaboration, Soviet disinformation, and the violent ethnic cleansing of the Middle East’s truest indigenous population: the Jewish people.

The DSA’s actual support base is almost as weak as its platforms are hollow, and anti-Zionism is a plaster to cover up the rot.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the political home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and a host of millennial up-and-comers — claims to be focused on “the multicultural working-class,” but make no mistake — Israel and Zionism are what motivate them most. Despite the party’s initial support for Zionism during its founding four decades ago, the DSA’s more recent ascent is a direct response to Israel’s war in Gaza and America’s role in providing arms and intelligence to Jerusalem.

PELONI:  A better choice for Netanyahu and the country would be for Lieberman to join with Netanyahu, but that too would leave the emerging coalition with one seat short of a govt.

What does strike an ironic mention is that in 2021 Bennet lied to his Right wing supporters about never joining Lapid and the Arabs, and now he is proposing to lie to his current Left wing supporters to join with Netanyahu.  Yet he believes he is reestablishing himself with the Right as he demands that a party which has stood with the Right at all times should be scuttled from the emerging govt, even as doing so would leave Netanyahu dependent on at least one more vote from the Left to form a viable govt… This raises the question as to what the real proposal being discussed might be since this one does not add up.  If Bennet is truly suggesting that Ben Gvir be set aside, he must be offering more than his own party or there would be no basis for the discussion.

Bennett could reverse his campaign pledge and join a Netanyahu-led government, but his demand to exclude Ben-Gvir threatens to derail the reported US-backed deal.

Behind the scenes of U.S. midterm races, another campaign is quietly taking shape. Congress is poised to vote on the Trump administration’s proposed nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, with both chambers expected to act during the week of Nov. 30. Democratic senators have introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to block the agreement during its required 90-day review period, and a companion House resolution, introduced on Sept. 14, is advancing as well.

The only episode from his college years to make news this campaign is a single protest.

Yes, amazing news.

Many people look at Israel’s political stalemate, where anti-Israel Arab parties won 19 seats and the left is actively trying to form a government with them, and ask, “What ‘amazing news’ is Avi talking about?”

PELONI:  Fraud is an inherent value to the establishment, making any effort to expose or reform it as the only crime worth prosecuting.

The return to secured elections is the greatest test of survival before the West as it continues to fail meaningful reforms in the face of policies which invite and protect such anti Western practices as voting for eight people based only on unsupported verbal self identification.  No other transaction would be so handled in such an intentionally unsecured basis, but that of course is the entire point of doing so…and the powerful will then prosecute those who challenge this supercilious approach to election security as is what is taking place with the prosecution of James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby.

PELONI:  Despite Golan’s suggestion that the support of the Arabs should be included in forming a govt, such a prospect would be toxic to any other party on the Left, and more importantly, they would face the consequences of such a toxic choice in the next election.  So it becomes a test of wills, as is true in any struggle.  Which is more likely to break early, the Right or the Left?  While it is true that Bibi has the means of raising the future prospects of either Bennet or Eisenkot, the truth is that Bennet caries with him the Lapid baggage and his past betrayal of the Right while Eisenkot carries a series of poor judgements to qualify him before the Israeli public.  So either of these men could benefit from joining Bibi.  Meanwhile, Bibi has his own concerns in the form of his Haredi allies, most specifically that of the UTJ.  While Bibi is bargaining with the opposition for an alliance, the issue of the Haredim lies large for both Bibi and his opponents, for if either side equivocates on this topic without actually forming a govt, the consequences will be catastrophic in the next election.  Meanwhile, Washington is already positioning its own interests in having Bibi abandon his Right wing partners, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, in favor of a more Left dominant govt.

PELONI:  Take note of the following passage:

“Israel was established as the national homeland of the Jewish people, and protecting that identity is a fundamental responsibility of its political institutions, regardless of which bloc controls the government.”

If this paragraph were true, there would be no need to worry about the Arab vote, as they would only have Zionist parties for which they could vote, but that is sadly not the case. This fact contradicts the paragraph cited above. In fact, the real threat to Israel comes not from the Arabs voting for anti Zionists and Terrorists, but from the High Court which allows them to vote for anti Zionist and Terrorists. Israel is the realization of the Zionist endeavor, but for this to be maintained, so does its adherence to Zionist restrictions on the voting public, and this is honestly best understood to be irrelevant to whether we are speaking of Arabs or Jews. We are where we are, which is not a good place, but the problem is not Israel’s democratic institutions, but the lack of properly applying its Zionist character in operating its democratic institutions. Otherwise none of the Arab parties would exist, and no anti Zionist rival parties would be available for either the Arabs or their sycophantic Jewish allies to support.

In fact, democracy only works if it actually is working, and that is not what is happening in Israel today due to the elevation of the High Court’s non legal basis for making legal judgements. Until that changes, the Arabs will have a firm ally on the Left, and the Left will continue to leverage the freedom of Arabs to act as the Heckler’s veto so that their dwindling power base will be supported by the Arabs in turn as they are prepared to do today.  Allowing the formation and promotion of Jew Hatred and the desolation of the Jewish Nation as an acceptable political option in the Jewish Nation can not be tolerated as a national value, yet it is nonetheless supported by the interventions of the High Court for just such an outcome despite Section 7A of Basic Law which provides for the disqualification of political parties which reject Israel’s existence as a Jewish and democratic state, inciting racism, or supporting armed struggle against Israel by an enemy state or terrorist organization as discussed below.  Hence the problem which faces Israel and its Zionist character is that its Zionist character is being betrayed within the Jewish state by the High Court.  Herein lies the real tragedy of this situation, and it remains a meaningful threat to the survival of the Jewish State and the Jewish People.

What happens when political parties that oppose the Jewish character of the state become indispensable to forming its government?

The biggest story of Israel’s election is not Benjamin Netanyahu’s political survival, Gadi Eisenkot’s performance, or even the possibility of another parliamentary deadlock.

It is the historic surge in the Arab vote.

PELONI:  Unity is the answer to the question of how we might survive the maelstrom which faces us. Indeed, only a strong Israel can withstand the forces aligned against the Jewish People around the world, and a strong Israel requires a sense of unity which faced its many enemies in turn around the world since October 7.

In the months since the attacks, Israel has confronted not one enemy but many — in Gaza, on the northern border, and in the courts of public opinion abroad. Each front has demanded something different: resolve, endurance, clarity. And each has reinforced the same truth the pre-war years had obscured — that the state is not a collection of factions but a single body, and that its strength is measured not in weapons alone but in the cohesion of the people who wield them.

The wars wage onward, and so too does the need for unity — unity of purpose, of survival, and of destiny. Not the unity of agreement, which no nation achieves, but the unity of a people who have chosen, out of their own free will, to stand together against what would unmake them. That choice is what makes the state more than a territory, and the people more than a population. It is destiny in the truest sense: not what our enemies intend for us, but what we choose to become.  And in doing so we will frustrate their objective to destroy us in this age as we have done in past ages.

Is the Holocaust not lesson enough for the  Jews in and out of the Jewish state ?

History will judge nations not by the noise of their internal debates, but by their resolve in the face of annihilation. Today, Israel is locked in a multi-front existential war, fighting a network of adversaries committed to its total destruction. In such an unprecedented hour of peril, the fundamental principle of nation-state self-defense demands a clear, unyielding truth: a country fighting for its survival requires absolute national solidarity and strong, uncompromising leadership.

Forum Calls on Michigan Officials to Stop Funding and Honoring These Institutions Until They Review What Is Preached There, and on Every State and Washington to Ask the Same Questions

For Immediate Release

PHILADELPHIA, October 29, 2026. Speakers at Michigan Islamist pulpits have told worshippers that they live “in America, in the house of Shaitan [Satan],” declared that “the fall of the great Satan has begun,” prayed that God take Netanyahu, “his soldiers, and his minions” and “kill them individually, leaving none of them,” foretold the “final annihilation of Jews,” and asked God to let them “live upon jihad” and “die upon martyrdom.” The Middle East Forum today published these statements, each with the institution’s own video, in Michigan’s Islamist Pulpits.

PELONI:  The election returns stand with the Right bloc having 53 seats and Israel Beitenu having 7.  So the shot at a Right wing govt with Liberman’s support is a no go, unless something minor changes giving either Liberman or the Right bloc one added seat.  Failing this, the only outcome available to avoid elections or a minority Left-UTJ coalition would be to have Eisenkot join with Likud, but that would require them each to entirely betray much of the promises which they ran on.  Should the Iran war breakout once again, as explained yesterday, Netanyahu’s call for a Zionist govt could give him what he needs to solidify a single vote from the Left Bloc to add to Lieberman.

If the Jewish bloc and/or Lieberman gain seats, such that the Jewish bloc together with Lieberman have 61 seats, another option opens up for a right-wing government, in which Netanyahu would give Lieberman the premiership later in the term.
