Peloni: The Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs remains as one of the most important and inspiring connections to our past.

Michal and I again ventured into Judea and Samaria, this time to visit the Jewish heritage site dating all the way back to Abraham’s entrance to the Land of Israel: the Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs (Machpelah) in Hebron. Our tour was sponsored by one of several pro-Zionist NGOs that we support. Im Tirtzu is the largest Zionist movement in Israel. Its mission is to strengthen and promote the values of Zionism in Israeli society and the renewal of Zionist discourse, thought and ideology in Israeli society. Im Tirtzu emphasizes training future generations for national leadership and support of Zionism. (https://imti.org.il/en/)
Peloni: Ezra Levant discusses the calumny committed by Carney, even as he falsely claims Canada recognizes a Arab Palestinian State after this measure was defeated in the Canadian parliament last year. What is more, Ezra explores Carney’s duplicity after having claimed that he would only provide recognition after the preconditions of the imagined Arab Palestinian state being demilitarized, that Hamas would have no role in the state, and that the hostages be released. What Ezra fails to address is the fact that there already exists an Arab Palestinian state in Jordan, making Carney’s imagined recognition that of a second Arab Palestinian state, making this bit of pro-Hamas propaganda being mouthed by Carney all the more absurd. In fact, the real substantive question which remains large in the wake of all this is why, amid all the calls for recognition of a Palestinian state both today and for decades past, Jordan is never recalled as being the Palestinian state, albeit one which is ruled by an Arabian dissident whose only right to rule extends from his forefathers having been chose to act as the local British colonial satrap to rule over the local population, and to this point, king Abdullah has helped weaponize his people against Israel in defiance of the treaty which exists between these two nations. While raising this point might appear as a digression from Ezra’s analysis of Carney’s absurd recognition of a Palestinian state, it is not only entirely relevant, but essentially material to this discussion. Indeed, it is this very subject which needs to be called to mind at this moment by those who are disposed to distinguish fact from fantasy, as is both Ezra’s nature and his intent here. Jordan is the Arab Palestinian state which has been demanded for so long, even as this fact evades every conversation on this topic.
See Ezra’s further comments at the following link:
Many of us have given contributions to this worthy organization and others, like Smile Train, Shriners, St. Jude’s, MDA, and so forth. Some of us have friends in this organization, and are very proud of their work.
Seeking to Revive Two-State Solution: The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia announced the formal recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in the coming week. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the decision was meant “to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution,” caveating the recognition by claiming that Hamas can have no future role in a Palestinian government. In his announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Israel of “working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established.” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the recognition “reflects Australia’s longstanding commitment to a two-state solution, which has always been the only path to enduring peace and security for the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples.”
Peloni: Avi Abelow provides a pitch perfect reflection on the West’s betrayal which would only have been made more evident had he mentioned the fact that Jordan is the Arab Palestinian state.
Peloni: Daniel Greenfield wrote this excellent piece for Jerusalem Day back in 2017, but it touches on subjects which are presently just as poignant, if not more so, today as it was eight years ago.

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem, drove out its Jewish population and illegally annexed the city– the only entity to recognize the annexation was the United Kingdom which had provided the mercenary officers and the training that made the conquest possible. Officers like Colonel Bill Newman, Major Geoffrey Lockett and Major Bob Slade, under Glubb Pasha, better known as General John Bagot Glubb, whose son later converted to Islam, invaded Jerusalem and used the Muslim gangs under their command to make the partition and occupation of Jerusalem possible.
Peloni: The piercing quiet along the Jordanian border refers to the current king’s silence amid the assault on Israel which was carried out by a Jordanian national who was expected to have been screened by the Jordanian military. As noted in the JPOST article, the breach of security between these two nations, even amid the cold peace, requires a certain response from the ruling monarch, and his choice to respond with silence portends only the most recent evidence of the king’s defiance of the peace which lies between Israel and and the nation which was carved out as the Arab Palestinian state over a century ago. While Abdullah I betrayed his commitment to the Jews last century during the 1948 War in conquering Judea and Samaria, his grandson, Abdullah II, has regularly betrayed his commitment to the peace treaty struck in 1994, with incitement to terror, advocacy for trade embargoes, and the transfer of weapons and gold to terrorists inside Israel. The Jordan Option would provide an important change in Jordan, one which would help stabilize the region, and one whereby such actions as led to the recent murder of two Israelis would have a meaningful and pronounced response rather than the silence which now emanates from the king’s palace.
King Hussein understood that preserving peace required a proactive approach rather than passive silence when that peace was threatened – his son must learn the same.
Peloni: Oslo is dead, the second Palestinian Arab state will die as a stillbirth, and there lies no reason to delay the application of Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria.
‘Reward for terror’: Domestic opposition & Israeli leaders slam recognitions

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia announced their recognition of the “State of Palestine” on Sunday afternoon, prompting harsh responses from Israeli leaders across the political spectrum.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed in a statement that “There will be no Palestinian state.”
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?
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.
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.
Peloni: Mike Benz calls on DNI Gabbard to release all documentary evidence which touches on the US support of anti-fascist movements across Europe to try to crush the Right wing movements in the relative countries across Europe. Will Gabbard respond?
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 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.

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.
There was January 6th, 2021. There was January 6th 2017. Which do you think almost ended the American Experiment? Clue: 2021 had ZERO chance of succeeding. Followed with: The INSIDE Charlie Kirk!
January 6th 2017 a plan was put into action by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton & Co. to overthrow the Trump presidency, and sabotage the peaceful transfer of power and the president’s execution of the will of The American voter. Senator Chuck Grassley explains it.
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:
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.’
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.
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.
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.”
Saudi-Pakistan defense pact, Beijing’s driving role and the CPEC-INSTC linkage
On one hand, the recent Saudi-Pakistan defense pact is not the isolated act of a spurned ally; it is a calculated move within a much larger geopolitical reordering, driven from Beijing and designed to… pic.twitter.com/6D9dZl99Uk
