SNL’s Bowen Yang  Has a Genocide Problem  

by Rafael Medoff

You would think someone whose own family left China would be concerned about the genocide now taking place there.

So why is Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang falsely accusing Israel of genocide, while ignoring the confirmed genocide perpetrated against Muslim Uyghurs in China?

A Desperate Hezbollah Calls on Saudi Arabia to End Its Enmity  

Peloni:  How far the mighty Hezbollah has strayed to be calling Saudi Arabia for a lifeline.  Indeed, their desperation is perhaps as obvious today as their vulnerability was demonstrated a year ago when their pagers, cell phones and lamps all rang “Boom”.  While Hezbollah remains an important threat which still requires its neutralization, it has failed to demonstrate the competency to merit the reputation which it previously held.  The fact that they are today calling for support from a former mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia of all nations, demonstrates their own recognition that they lack the capabilities to easily survive what they are facing.  To be clear, unlike Fitzgerald, while I still have no confidence in the American initiative to have the Hezbollah dependent LAF subdue their Hezbollah masters, Hezbollah will be made to part with their arms one way or another.

By

Hezbollah has been battered by Israel militarily over the last year. Its top leaders — Hassan Nasrallah and his successor, Hashem Safiedinne — have both been assassinated by Israel. The IDF has managed through airstrikes to destroy between 80% and 90% of the 150,000 rockets and missiles that Hezbollah held in its arsenal. Mossad’s “exploding pagers” caper led to nearly 4,000 Hezbollah members being seriously wounded, in most cases so severely as not to be able to resume their roles as combatants. And in Lebanon itself, both President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam are determined to pressure Hezbollah to give up its weapons, so that the Lebanese National Army will be the only armed force in the country.

POST SHABBAT WAR UPDATE  

Avi Abelow

Gaza
Over 500,000 residents have fled Gaza City as our heroic soldiers press on, tunnel by tunnel, street by street, to crush Hamas. The cost is high. But this is not optional. We’re fighting for our future. For our children. For our right to exist. All the way to implement Trump’s Gaza emigration plan…

Judea & Samaria: This Is the Wake-Up Call!!
A terror cell building rockets, yes, rockets, was uncovered near Ramallah. Rockets ready to launch. The target? Jewish communities in tall of Israel, not just in Judea & Samaria.

The real reason Israel cannot reach a deal with Hamas  

The struggle against movements like Hamas is a struggle that will never end and, it requires a decisive military action, which is the foundation and key to everything, but alongside it there must also be a decisive diplomatic action. Israel must set its own goals, not vague slogans that cannot be implemented, but clear and specific objectives.

By  Prof. Eyal Zisser | Sept 21, 2025

The capture of Gaza City would be a fitting end to the Swords of Iron War that Israel launched after the murderous terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on October 7.

Hamas as a conventional army, with an offensive force capable of surprising Israel and striking it, has not existed for some time. Nothing remains of the “state in the making” the organization established in the Gaza Strip, those government ministries and networks of social and economic services through which it ruled the lives of Gaza’s population.

Charlie, Tucker, and Me, Take #2 : Dear Erika…

Let me begin by stating that I held Charlie in high regard, but not some of his close friends who are now soliciting funds for TPUSA.

Please see Joshua David Washington’s essay below, especially connections to “me thinks he protests too much, but blatant antisemite anyway,” Tucker Carlson:

Wars have winners and losers  

Peloni:  While it is true that wars have consequences, so too does the reluctance to acknowledge that which is rightfully your own.  I am reminded of Amb. Friedman’s warning that should Israel persist in not determining her own borders, others will do it for her and the result would most certainly be to Israel’s regret.  Indeed, Israel should acknowledge the rights to Judea and Samaria as acknowledged in the international agreements of the Balfour Declaration as defined in the Cairo Conference of 1921 and certified by the League of Nations and supported by the consequence of the ’67 War.  Quite simply, this is our land by every measure and every consideration.  We only need to have the conviction, fortitude and temerity to acknowledge that which has already been established in international law a century ago to end the ongoing charade to the contrary, which ignores these facts, diminishes our rights, and empowers our enemies. Furthermore, extending sovereignty over the Jewish heartlands should not be exercised as a penalty to balance the perfidies of fallen members of the West, but rather it should be done as a celebration of our own identity, of our connection to these lands, of the history of our forefathers, and a credible demonstration of our own respect for these facts which are constantly being ignored by not just our enemies, but by too many of we Jews as well.

Countries that win wars they did not want to wage, but who retook territory while doing so, are not ‘occupiers’. Those who lose the war they instigated, pay a price for their aggression. That’s how the world works.

There are those who refer to Judea and Samaria as the “occupied ‘West Bank'”. Among the many problems with this claim is the fact that the “Palestinian Arabs” never actually controlled the so-called ‘West Bank.’

“The true Muslim is obligated to complete the work of Hitler”- according to a philosophy backing a curriculum being financed by more than $100 billion in Qatari money to U.S. colleges and universities  

Peloni:  How Ironic is it that the ISGAP reports were written in Washington, and yet the actions and policies put forward in Washington seem totally oblivious to the findings captured in these reports, with the most recent report being the most devastating.  Qatar is focused on bringing down Western society, and it is pursuing this course from within America, within Washington itself.  As America once led the world towards victory in WWII, it has been leading it to be completely dominated and controlled by the Jihadi center of power in Doha amid a sense of complacency and open acts of corruption.  It is not too late to change this fact, even while it is already too late to prevent the insidious evil which has been indoctrinated so well within the minds of American youths over the past many years.

Bare Naked Islam | Sept 19, 2025

If you want to know why there is so much vile anti-Semitism coming out of American colleges and universities, follow the money, the QATARI money. More than $100 billion in Qatari undocumented funds has flowed into American universities.

Saudi-Pakistan defense pact, Beijing’s driving role and the CPEC-INSTC linkage  

Peloni:  A very important tweet discussing the import of Saudi Arabia’s shift towards promoting a multipolar Middle East.  In short, it spells trouble for Israel and trouble for the US, while undermining the potential of the IMEC becoming operational.

“Beijing’s objective of a multipolar Middle East where U.S. influence is diluted… is served by diplomatic gridlock and constant linkage to low-intensity conflicts degrading IMEC’s security environment, rendering it unbankable, while cluttering it in diplomatic risks.”

Syria: Al-Sharaa’s Campaign of Extermination against Druze, Minorities  

by Uzay Bulut  •  Gatestone Institute  •  September 19, 2025

The persecution of Druze and Christians in Syria has been escalating since Ahmed al-Sharaa took over as the country’s president, after his al-Qaeda affiliated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group overthrew the Assad regime in December. Pictured:  Recep Tayyip Erdo?an met with Ahmed al-Sharaa. Photo by Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic – Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic, Public Domain, Wikipedia

  • “Other groups were reported held hostage in Dar’aa and Idlib, locations where the Jolani regime is still utilizing ‘extra judicial’ prisons and has a market for the ‘spoils of war,’ as they call the abducted people. The regime provides no information about their current status or condition.” — Socrates Naufal, a Druze from Syria, to Gatestone.

Why does Washington keep shielding terror’s banker?  

Peloni:  This is an important article detailing the insidious nature of Qatar’s influence campaign within Trump’s second term and the potentially dwindling influence which Qatar has over the administration’s policies.  Similar to conclusions drawn by Dr. David Wurmser, this article suggest that there is a slowly weakening of the bond between the US and Qatar.  To this point, it is inconceivable that Trump was not made aware of the strike on Qatar in a timely fashion prior to the attack, and that it could only have proceeded with his approval.  Still, the bulwark of Qatari allied members within Trump’s cabinet has yet to be diminished, as well as the move to advance the US-Qatari relationship with a new defense agreement, would both argue differently.

The interview referenced in the article below with Rabbi Pini Dunner is well worth rewatching.  It can be seen HERE

The West knows Qatar harbors terror leaders and bankrolls extremist groups.

According to Dr. Udi Levy, former head of the Mossad’s Economic Warfare Division, newly uncovered documents in Gaza reveal just how deeply Qatar deceived the world for years.

Having served as a specialist consultant for a much better led ADL in the ‘70’s, with a strong doctoral background in both Middle Eastern and National Security Policy Studies, I’m extremely careful when I speak of antisemitism and its closely attached flip side, anti-Zionism, because I don’t want the accusation used loosely.

Rockets in Samaria: IDF arrests terror cell that manufactured rockets ready to be launched at Israel  

Peloni:  As Israel is faced with more than two-thirds of European states recognizing the fictitious second Arab Palestinian state, all while ignoring the fact that Jordan is the indisputable Arab Palestinian state, rocket factories are being constructed in Judea and Samaria.  Our enemies have no conscience, no legitimacy, and no honor.  They would pillory the victims of October 7 to satisfy an enemy contingent which they have imported into their own communities, and that contingent is conducting a quiet Jihad of Europe as they will continue into the US, already with bridgeheads being constructed around America.  Jihad is not compatible with Western society, and in fact, while a kinetic war is being brought against Israel, Israel at least has demonstrated the wherewithal to replace complacency with confrontation.  National identity is an important concept to misplace, and while Europe represents an important contingent of the Western world, their leadership has chosen to remain quiescent as their identity is coopted by this quiet Jihad, and the move to embrace a second Arab Palestinian state is simply the personification of this lost identity, leaving only the European public to demonstrate the pluck and perseverance which is needed to ward off the malfeasance and devastation facing them today.  Israel will survive this war, if only because they are fighting it, but Europe has already chosen to be defeated as they refuse to do the same and are instead supporting those who will one day be their conquerors.

FM Sa’ar warns: ‘Without security control over Judea & Samaria, state will be in danger’
