Jordanian textbooks fail the test of tolerance, peace and coexistence with Jews and Israel  

Peloni

In a recent IMPACT-se report, following the review of 294 Jordanian text books, Jordan has been seen to once again have fallen well short of UNESCO’s standards of peace and tolerance in education.  This comes following reforms in the Jordanian education system which oversaw the replacement and revisions of existing texts due to their content.  Notably this most recent report includes evidence of deterioration despite the reported reforms.  Here are just some of the findings described in the INPACT-se report:

US envoy Witkoff expects ‘breakthrough’ in talks over Gaza future after meeting with Arab leaders  

Peloni:  Additionally, Macron announces that Trump assured him that Israeli “annexation” (read as extension of sovereignty) of Judea and Samaria is a Red Line and would mean the end of the Abraham Accords.  If this is not a fantasy imagined by Macron, Israel should still declare the extension of sovereignty.  The Abraham Accords have only one purpose for Israel, and that is to secure its own permanence in the region.  As it is instead being used as a cudgel with which to hold Israel fast while international agreements are used to embolden and empower its enemies, Israel alone will be the loser.  Herein lies the reality:  A diplomatic assault has been leveraged against Israel in preference of making the Two State Nightmare permanent, and Israel MUST respond.  The response which has been warned by Israel with greater and greater assurance has been to extend Sovereignty to some portion of Judea and Samaria.  Ignoring the fact that the use of something as basic as Israel’s right to recognize these lands as her own should not be limited to that of  a penalty against the international infractions of international law, Israel must see this thru, recognize Judea and Samaria, no matter the impact which be incurred on the Abraham Accords.  If the Accords are so friable as to be undone by Israel’s recognition of its own lands, they would make a poor foundation for the future in any event.  Notably, the Arabs will not respect Israel acquiescing to the permanence of the Two State Solution, but will in fact see it as their own victory and the fruit of the October 7 attack as is already being openly discussed by some – these are two outcomes which can not be permitted.  Declare Sovereignty NOW!

Dennis Prager’s Reaction to Charlie Kirk’s Memorial  

Peloni:  Many may be unaware of the fact that Dennis Prager has been hospitalized since last November related to a severe injury which he suffered following a fall.  Most will recall the warm report which existed between Dennis and his friend Charlie Kirk.  It was unfortunate that his comments were not included in the Charlie Kirk Memorial, but in Dennis’ first interview since his accident, he provides a few heartfelt reflections on the loss of his good friend and his regret that he was not able to join the memorial service as he would have wished to have done.

Qatar is no Arab Switzerland  

It’s a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist haven

A disturbing thought experiment: Imagine your children have been kidnapped and are being tortured in a dungeon.

Your phone rings: “Hi, I just wanted to let you know about the leaders of the gang that abducted your kids. Well, it happens that I’ve hosted them in my guest house for years. Perhaps I can work out a deal for you?”

Qatar’s Al Jazeera is one of two top sources of info used by AI Chatbots!  

Peloni:  By what chance coincidence or point of corruption was the antisemitic, anti-American, and anti-Western Qatari news media empire chosen as one of the main inputs into artificial intelligence?  Indeed, what better way to indoctrinate the world with the filth of antisemitism than to dominate the AI interlays which people are substituting in place of an actual education.  And Trump thinks Qatar needs better public relations?!

At UN, Trump Tells Arab and Muslim Leaders He Will ‘End the War in Gaza’  

Peloni:  Erdogan’s gleeful statement following this meeting was an early foreshadowing of concern following this meeting which excluded Israel’s participation.  Another point of concern came amid the news of  Trump’s statement that “I’m on the side of Israel. I’ve been on the side of Israel, really, my whole life, and we’re going to get a solution, and it’s going to be a solution that’s good for everybody.”  Yet this conclusion defies the fact that what is good for Israel, and for the West/US by extension, would not be good for those Arab govts who were included in the meeting with Trump, all of whom have been advocating for the war to end since before it began.

Meeting with regional powers in New York, Trump calls Gaza talks his “most important meeting” and vows to push for hostages’ release and permanent ceasefire.

‘We are afraid of Israel’: Syrian & Lebanese presidents call for end of ‘Israeli aggression’ before security pacts  

Peloni:  Another Arab seeking peace while demanding Israeli concessions…Since coming to power, Jolani has done little to effect a peaceful transition to his Jihadist autocratic rule as he has demonized and butchered the minorities in his own country, and now demands that Israel withdraw from its buffer zone and, to recall the words of Amb. Barrack, have the Syrian minorities submit to the rule of this Syrian despot.  Rather than supporting minority submission to Jolani, Washington should be pressing for either autonomous minority regions in Syria, if not the more secure move to divide Syria into its parts, and by doing so, render Syria’s capabilities under any leadership that much less of a threat to regional peace.

Syrian leader Sharaa says talks with Israel are in ‘advanced stages’ but demands concessions

Against the backdrop of ongoing efforts to reach security agreements between Israel and its northern neighbors, the leaders of Syria and Lebanon insisted that Israel must take the first step before any pacts can be reached.

Why capturing the last Hamas fighters alive should be Israel’s strategic—and moral—victory  

Peloni:  In reading Jalal’s description of how to complete this war, is it really in Israel’s interest to prosecute it with a priority on preserving life on the part of our enemies, or should it be in the pursuit of a decisive, albeit well tardy, victory over its enemies?  I think this is an important discussion to be had.  War should not be the pursuit of morality or legality, but of achieving deterrence to future wars.  In fact, war is the undoing of social norms where morality and legality are better represented than on the battlefield, and that when these values are misplaced on the battlefield it comes at the cost of not just losing the deterrent effect of war, but also at the precious cost of soldiers lives as well.  So, while I can grasp Jalal’s perspective is that a primary objective should be that of denying the remaining Hamas combatants the ability of claiming victory as martyrs, I still argue that a quick, effective, and decisive victory has always been what is needed in this war, and that this still remains the case today, albeit it is already nearly two years too late to describe any victory gained as being quick.

I am curious of what others have to say on this topic.

Since the atrocities of 7 October 2023, Israel and Hamas have been locked in a war that has scarred a region and shattered lives. Now, more than two years on, the conflict appears to be entering its decisive phase. Israeli forces have pushed into Gaza City in a concerted ground operation and military briefings publicly estimate between two and three thousand Hamas fighters remain concentrated there.

Trump taunts Russia as ‘paper tiger’ and tells Zelensky he will help Ukraine win all of its land back  

Peloni:  So no peace in Ukraine after all?  How exactly is it that Ukraine is going to regain its lost territory with a deficit in men, material, and morale with which it has struggled since the outset of the conflict, which Trump appears to now be backing.  While it is unlikely that Putin will react to this as a declaration of war, he will likely see it as a continuation of the Washington/European attempt to defeat Russia, to which Trump had previously been opposed.

In an historic speech today at the United Nations, President Donald Trump called them all out: the globalists, the socialists, the internationalists, the drug traffickers, the Sharia purveyors, the jihadists, and more: the whole of the leftist elite class that is doing all it can to impose the darkness of totalitarianism upon the world.

Mike Benz Describes the Blob’s Networking Tools  

Peloni:  Mike Benz provides a detailed discussion regarding how the Blob is related to hedge funds, teachers unions, media outlets, NGOs, and astroturf “protest” movements. Most of our readers may recall that the Blob references the entrenched foreign policy establishment in Washington, D.C., which in turn influences U.S. actions abroad as a way of defending American interests.

An autocratic Turkey does not deserve US military aid  

Peloni:  The camel of has its nose well inside Europe’s tent.  While Europe is remolding itself into a collective of autocratic states protecting existing regimes, those regimes are themselves adopting positions receptive to Erdogan’s rhetoric of Jihad being ‘resistance’ rather than the conquest of Western society, which is the true aspirations of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood adherents, which includes Erdogan.  The window of salvation for Europe and European culture and society is closing fast, with only the indigenous, non-invading European peoples to push back the Jihadist invasion with which European leaders have saddled European society.  Indeed, already Europe is supporting Jihadi goals in Israel while pursuing autocratic projects such as judicially ignoring opposition electoral victories.  With this in mind, to what exactly is it that Europe might object about Erdogan’s Islamist autocratic take over of his country?

Erdogan states Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but a resistance group

With defense appropriations season in full swing on Capitol Hill, offering Turkey military aid would only reward President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s threats against Washington’s allies, strain NATO’s cohesion, and enable Turkey’s further slide into autocracy.

Should Israel Now Annex Parts, or All, of Judea and Samaria?  

Peloni:  There is no need to annex that which you already own, and Israel already owns Judea and Samaria.  She simply has to recognize this fact by extending sovereignty and civilian law to these lands, so no annexation is needed…but yes, she should act to extend sovereignty to Judea and Samaria immediately.

By – on

The Israelis have been furiously protesting against the Western countries, led by France and its anti-Israel leader, President Emmanuel Macron, that have announced their recognition of a “state of Palestine” in September at the opening of the UN General Assembly. Protests are not enough. Israel must make clear that it will answer this menace with a move of its own — to annex part, or all, of Judea and Samaria. It has a perfect right to do so. Judea and Samaria, not Tel Aviv and Haifa, are the places where Jews have lived and made most of their history over the past 3500 years. That area is the heart of their ancestral homeland. The Arabs arrived more than 2000 years later. That long history is what convinced the League of Nations to include all of Judea and Samaria in the territory assigned to the Mandate for Palestine, which would in time become the Jewish state of Israel.

Why Israel Refuses to Play Hamas’s Media Game  

By Oded J.K. Faran and Walter E. Block

Israel possesses overwhelming military superiority over Hamas. The IDF operates as a world-class military force, while Hamas consists of terrorists who deliberately hide behind civilian shields, placing munitions beneath hospitals, schools, and residential areas. This tactic surpasses even Nazi wartime conduct in its cynical disregard for innocent lives.

Israel also holds the far stronger claim to contested territories. Following John Locke’s principle that those who first “mixed their labor” with land hold rightful ownership, the Jewish presence in this region dates back three millennia, while Arab settlement occurred only centuries ago. Archaeological evidence beneath the Al Aqsa Mosque confirms the Jewish Second Temple’s prior existence, demonstrating clear historical precedence.

U.S. Officials Say Israeli-Syrian Deal Is 99 Percent Done As Amb. Barrack Indicates Minority Submission is the US End Game  

Peloni:  Israel should not give up its access to freedom of the skies over Lebanon or Syria til Hezbollah and other militias are disarmed and disbanded as has been ordered by repeated UN Security Resolutions.  Furthermore, the videos of dehumanization and slaughter which comes from the submission to Jihadists are quite accessible on the web following the Syrian attacks on the Alawites and the Druze.  Rather than submission, the end game which Barrack should be pursuing is coexistence, something which might be achieved by either the federalization or dismemberment of Syria, as opposed to centralized control which requires submission.
