The only way to stop the cycle of Islamic terrorism is to stop cutting deals with the terrorists.

After months in which it was falsely claimed that the only way to rescue hostages was to cut a deal with  Islamic terrorists, Israel launched a daring daylight rescue operation, simultaneously hitting two houses where four hostages were being held.

Peloni:  Dr. Ruddy’s exploration into the potential use of Ivermectin in the treatment of cancer provides an exemplary example for how science needs to work, how medicine should be pursued, as well as how informed consent must be applied.  It will be very interesting to see what comes from her investigational study.

Peloni:  This was a day to be celebrated and rejoiced. And the only reason we can feel this sense of joy is because Israel did something which it has almost exclusively failed to do, with few specific exceptions, over the past 40yrs, and that is to act in her own interest and not that of the antisemitic Great Power leaders, sans Trump, in America. This victory was in fact exacted by the IDF and security services and Yamam, but this victory was only possible because Israel’s political leadership told the US, “NO”. This was Bibi’s doing, and he owes his ability to having done it to both the support of the Israeli people and the resolve of his own govt, sans the Gantz faction, as he faced down the American demand that he should aquiese and surrender to Hamas. This Israeli-faced posture must be the continued posture of Israel going forward. As Bibi said three days ago,

” What has been is not what will be; we will change this reality.”

And he has already begun changing this reality by with his resistance to the yoke of American dominance over Israel’s self interest.

Following the announcement of the verdict, Donald Jay Trump labeled the New York trial as a “scam” and “a rigged trial,” and proclaimed, “I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our Constitution.”

Given Trump’s tenacity and determination, he will likely win this round. He may even succeed and become President again, but he cannot alter the trajectory of this nation—the course has already been set.

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

PART 1. Introduction.

A well-chosen thought experiment can reveal to us the conceptual structure and boundaries of our moral framework. It can help us specify the principles by which, in that framework, we determine questions of justice. That’s why moral and legal philosophers often resort to thought experiments.
Here’s one:

• Thought experiment. Imagine that, in World War II, the Arab Palestinian movement had worked hand-in-glove with the German Nazis to carry out the Final Solution to exterminate the European Jewish people (Shoa or Holocaust).
• Question. In such a case, could the effort to carve out Israeli territory for the Arab Palestinian movement legitimately be considered a quest for justice?

Peloni:  It was a joyous moment to read the words “Hostages Rescued” once again.  I know that I was greatly moved by this event, and even as we know that there are still some 120 souls still held among the hordes of Hamas and their citizen jailers, I could not help but to see that this was a sign that we will not retreat from the coming victory over our enemies, that we will not abandon our citizens to a fate of their jailers choosing, and that we will  win this war – not because we can, not because we want it, but because we must.  There is no other choice, and if this reality was ever in doubt by anyone, this joyous moment demonstrated once and for all, that this is true.

What a joy to share good news: The rescue from captivity of four hostages.

Those rescued were Noa Argamani (25), Shlomi Ziv (40), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), all of whom had been abducted by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack on the Nova music festival.

 The French Foreign Ministry advanced two claims as the rationale for its decision to support the ICC—both equally risible and ridiculous

 The French Army burned 326 houses and murdered more than half of the village’s residents.  French soldiers raped many women and girls before murdering them…—an account of the massacre of civilians by French forces in the first Indo-China war.

 Atrocities committed by the French during the Algerian War during the 1950s against Algerians include deliberate bombing and killing of unarmed civilians, rape, torture, executions through “death flights” or burial alive, thefts and pillaging—an account of the atrocities committed by French forces during the Algerian War of Independence.

Things have gotten strange out there in the land of shopping. I ran across a pack of butter for $8. I was shocked but then used my device to check other sources, only to find out it was a good price.

The same happened with some maple syrup. The $20 price tag shocked me and I thought, “What a ripoff,” until I realized it was being sold at a discount, given the volume.

Peloni:  Four hostages which were taken from the Nova Festival have been rescued in a combined attack, reportedly from the land, air and sea.  Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv were rescued in an operation which included the IDF, the Shin Bet, and Israeli police.  The hostages rescued from two separate Hamas installations in the Nuseirat area in Central Gaza based on intelligence gathered over the past weeks.  The rescue was reportedly conducted with hundreds of forces involved and one member of the force was injured.  I

E. Rowell:  We do not yet know the extent to which American Jews are deserting the Biden Administration.  But in the wake of the 7th of October, it is possible that American Jews who were firmly in the Biden camp may be having second thoughts.  Up until now many non-Orthodox Jews, including Zionist Jews, were firmly in the “anyone but Trump” camp, which I see as due to the effective progressive propaganda campaign that has made Trump out to be a racist.  It is difficult to maintain that view of Trump as racist when you see him campaigning in neighborhoods of color and being so warmly greeted by thousands of people there.  The former head of the Black Panther party has come out in support of Trump.  He explained that Trump has always been a friend to the Black community.  I think the veil is being lifted from Jewish eyes in America because no Jew can now deny the genocidal intent of Hamas and all Hamas supporters.  Jews then look to Biden and Trump:  who will be a better protector of the Jews?  We await their answers to that question in November.

After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.

Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem, ethnically cleansed its Jewish population and annexed the city– the only entity to recognize the annexation was the United Kingdom which had provided the 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 forces under their command to make the partition and ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem possible.

The Jews living in the free half of Jerusalem continued to be killed by Jordanian Muslim snipers. The victims of those years of Muslim occupation included Yaffa Binyamin, a 14-year-old girl sitting on the balcony of her own house and a Christian carpenter working on the Notre Dame Convent.

If anything, the fallout from DEI shows how antisemitism in academia has come full circle.

Anti-Israel encampment at DePaul UniversityREUTERS/Jim Vondruska

As a legal studies professor in the community college system, I was asked to teach a new course on basic student skills mandated for undergraduates at all state colleges and universities. Though I initially agreed to do so, I changed my mind upon discovering that the curriculum includes a component on “diversity, equity and inclusion,” which seeks to indoctrinate rather than teach. In addition, the ideology underlying DEI depicts Jews as oppressors and Israel as a colonial occupier, promotes anti-Israel revisionist history, and has been instrumental in facilitating the antisemitic encampments and riots currently plaguing campuses across the country.

When asked by a well-meaning colleague whether I could somehow use DEI to facilitate constructive dialogue about antisemitism, I said it was impossible because of core progressive tenets that draw on classical anti-Jewish stereotypes and conspiracy theories.

E. Rowell:  It will be interesting to see the numbers of people voluntarily signing up for another dose of the toxic and potentially deadly shots.  It appears that the WHO doesn’t want to take any chances on leaving it up to the public to decide for themselves.  The goal of the WHO is to have total control of every human, animal, and plant on earth.  That way only they can decide what goes into the bodies of humans and other animals.  As the author points out, the global Communist-Totalitarian movement no longer need worry about subverting individual countries, country by country.  In one fell swoop they have found a way to subvert every country on earth.

This is typical Saul Alinsky tactics being used by a former Ethiopian communist politician who now heads the Bill Gates-funded United Nations World Health Organization.

The head of the Bill Gates-funded World Health Organization has declared war on so-called “anti-vaxxers.”

In true Saul Alinsky fashion, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said earlier this week that “it’s time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.”

It was the revolutionary organizer Saul Alinsky who advised his fellow Marxists in his book, Rules for Radicals, to engage in a cutthroat information war against their political opponents.

E. Rowell:  This is a wide ranging interview, in which Trump is able to speak spontaneously about many topics that are on his mind, directly to the audience (through Dr. Phil).  This interview differs from campaign speeches in this and prior years first, because of the intimacy, and secondly because of the  degree to which Trump has been persecuted by globalist forces who are doing everything in their power to strangle our republic through strangling Trump’s ability to campaign and win the election.  A topic at the end of the interview bears comment:  forgiveness.  Dr. Phil asked Trump if he could forgive all those who have persecuted him.  Trump agreed he could, and that the country needed to be united.  This is a very Christian response.  In Judaism we know that no one can be forgiven by God until we have sought the forgiveness of those we have hurt in the preceding year.  Trump cannot fully forgive those who persecuted him because he cannot speak for ALL OF US AMERICANS.  Those who have persecuted him have persecuted us too.  They cannot be forgiven by Trump.  They would have to seek our forgiveness first, before God will ever forgive them.

Nobody in the State Department, or the United Nations, or at J Street headquarters, is talking about the recent terrorist shooting attack on the Israeli town of Bat Hefer, less than 12 miles from the coastal town of Netanya. Because it shattered the premise at the heart of all their proposals concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Hamas terrorists standing within the municipal boundaries of Tulkarm, a Palestinian Authority-governed city, unleashed a barrage of gunfire aimed at the nearby Israeli town of Bat Hefer. Then they posted a video of the shooting on social media.

It was the third such shooting attack on Bat Hefer in two weeks. The Times of Israel pointed out that there have been similar attacks targeting Kibbutz Meirav, which is next to the PA city of Jenin. Once again, terrorists within the boundaries of the city were able to shoot into an Israeli community without ever having to go beyond the borders of their PA-ruled city.
