 Thomas L. Friedman, foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times, claimed in a recent article that Israel’s actions in Gaza are “making it a pariah state.”

Like the shepherd boy in Aesop’s fable, Friedman has been crying wolf—warning that Israel will become “isolated in the world”—for 36 years now. Yet it still hasn’t come true.

Earlier this year, Friedman predicted that President Trump’s Jewish grandchildren “will be the first generation of Jewish children who will grow up in a world where the Jewish state is a pariah state.” A few weeks later, Friedman updated that soundbite, telling the “GZero” podcast that he fears his own grandchildren will grow up in his imaginary Israel-as-a-pariah world.

Peloni:  Charlie Kirk was an important voice in highlighting the distinctions and conflicts between Islam and Western society.  Here is one of his recent discussions on a topic which he was quite accurate and quite consistent.

Janet Levy: RIP Charlie Kirk.  He was a valiant fighter against Islamic infiltration.

Ironic that they call US the haters when we’re tirelessly fighting to preserve our cherished constitutional republic and not succumb to Islam or the Left or the globalists.

Meanwhile, both the Left and Islamists are celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  MSNBC even had the nerve to say that the murderer was probably one of Kirk’s gun-toting followers.

Hijab lawsuits and Muslim-sympathetic media collusion work to help CAIR slander and sue U.S. police departments

by BareNakedIslam | Sept 10, 2025

Across the United States, police departments, universities, and sheriffs’ offices are under coordinated legal attack. The weapon? Civil rights lawsuits centered on the hijab — lawsuits designed not to uphold freedom, but to force American institutions into compliance with Sharia norms

On July 16, US Senator Ted Cruz introduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025, which would implement a new, modernized strategy for designating the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a terrorist group. The question is not whether the US should list the MB as a terrorist organization. The answer to that is clear: yes. A more pressing question is why these pro-jihad, Islamic supremacist organizations affiliated with the MB have been allowed to operate on the US soil for all those years. Pictured: Sen. Ted Cruz.

• According to the Department of Justice, in the early 1990s, the Muslim Brotherhood, planned to establish a network of organizations in the US to spread a militant Islamist message and raise money for Hamas. The Texas-based Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) became the chief fundraising arm for the Palestine Committee in the US, created by the MB to support Hamas. In 2008, HLF leaders were convicted of crimes, including providing material support for Hamas.

Peloni: Honor the past by securing the future. In the Middle East, the region respects strength, and savages weakness. The assault on Doha was not only warranted, legitimate, but necessary, and long overdue.

If Netanyahu holds true to this warning, it will reshape the Middle East, and end the stranglehold with which terror has ruled the Arab nations.

?JUST IN: WATCH PM Netanyahu (in English): "I say to Qatar and all countries that provide shelter to terrorists, either deport them or bring them to justice. Because if you don't, we will."

Update:  John Solomon breaks news of Charlie Kirk’s death.  He was 31yrs old.

Peloni:  Tolerance for political violence in any form is the antithesis of democratic practice.  From the very mild to the extreme, political violence has infected the West, and continues to exert a pressure of perversion on Western values rather than the restoration of those values.  The failure to treat political violence, even in the case surrounding the assassination attempt of Pres. Trump, as a serious and relevant aberration of norms could only perpetuate the wanton use of political violence to reshape America and the West into something entirely depraved, as a rudderless ship on a wayward ocean.

Peloni:  Mark Levin properly describes Qatar as an enemy of, not just Israel, but of the US, and correctly describes the American association with Qatar as being a bipartisan problem.  There is no rationale under which the US should extend Qatar any form of support or alliance as it uses its influence in the US to indoctrinate Americans with antisemitism and funds antisemitic protests in the US.

Peloni:  Trump should be thrilled over this action taken by Israel, as should all freedom loving people in the world.  The leaders who planned and executed and celebrated and were in every way responsible and associated with the barbarism of October 7 were themselves dealt a far more humane end than were their victims, which include citizens of 33 different countries, including dozens who were US citizens.  Treating barbarians as such sends a clear warning to the world that this level of savagery will not be tolerated, and while this message was delivered nearly two years later than it could and should have been, all freedom loving people should be thrilled that there is a country which is capable and willing to excise such a price for what took place on October 7.  Instead of sending such confounded and mixed messages as articulated in Trump’s statements, the world should be stating “well done”, and “do it again if any of the targets of this strike actually survive”.

Also, Trump’s continued association with and embrace of Qatar continues to be perplexing, and he should instead should be making statements similar to that of the Green Prince.

Trump emphasizes decision was made by Netanyahu, ‘not by me’

What requisites or credentials do the “Palestinian” terrorists have that qualifies for statehood? Jew hatred and terror. That’s it. It’s who they are, what they are, it defines them. Without Jew hatred they cease to exist.

They should not do it.

Peloni:  In a ILTV interview, Yishai Fleisher discusses the terrorist attack in Jerusalem where he talks about how much Israel has changed in the past two years of war.  From the idea of an orthodox soldier engaging a terrorist on the streets of Jerusalem to the empowerment of Israeli citizens to have greater access to guns in their own defense, Israelis are better adapted to dealing with the terror threats which surround them than ever before.

September 11, 2001, is etched within our collective memories, or should be for those of us who remember that day of loss, courage, and confusion, for now we again look at a world threatened by yet more anti-Western horror.

Peloni:  Another excellent article by Leonard Grunstein.  Trump should declare that the Jewish lands recognized as belonging to the Jewish people in the San Remo resolution and later treaties, are in fact Israeli lands.  He should do this because this has long been established in international agreements, because it will upset the Europeans who are trying to undermine US policy in the Middle East, because it will stymie the interests of China and its Iranian allies at the same time, and because it truly represents US interests to have a strong ally in the region, which is why the Europeans and the Chinese are aligned in support of creating a second Arab Palestinian state.

The San Remo resolution delineated the area between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea as the Jewish homeland, reconfirmed by later treaties.

It’s been almost two years since Hamas and other Palestinian Arab terrorists invaded southern Israel, murdered more than 1,200 people, and kidnapped 251 others, dragging them into the Gaza Strip. Two years since those terrorists committed rape and other unspeakable atrocities, as well as fired as many as 5,000 rockets into the Jewish state as part of the barrage on Oct. 7, 2023.

Much like the Nazis, Hamas’s goal and war aims were explicitly disclosed and not hidden. It was the elimination of Israel and its citizens.

Instead of exterminating the butchers of its innocents as the IDF has plans to do, this new proposed Trump “deal” leaves Hamas alive to fight another day, as Jared Kushner, whom I liked, apparently is now also willing to sacrifice future Israeli security, given that Hamas has repeatedly pledged to repeat the wanton massacres of October 7th, 2023 over and over again.

Israel will get less than two dozen live innocent hostages back, and in return has to free hundreds of terrorists who should never have been taken alive in the first place.

Peloni:  Gen. Avivi gives an early report on the Israeli decapitating attack on the Hamas leadership in Doha, something which I called for just a few days previously.  I also called for the US and Israel to adopt a position of Unconditional Surrender, something which seems to be an ever evasive notion, even in revelations of evil which shroud and define the barbarism which faces Israel and the West.  Let us hope that a policy of Unconditional Surrender is soon adopted, ending the repeated and detrimental delays as well as the associated casualties which come from succumbing to the repeated attempts to ‘negotiate’ with terror.

Leaders promise to ‘pursue terror everywhere’ as security forces search for suspects

All Israel News Staff | Published: September 8, 2025

Following the shooting attack earlier today in which six people were killed and and at least 12 others were injured, Israeli leaders expressed their outrage at the shooting, and the need to confront the terror sources which led to it.

President Isaac Herzog was one of the first to comment on the shooting, calling it “a painful and difficult morning.”

Mark Levin’s Saturday, Sept 6, Show:

Mark opens his Saturday show by sharing a clip of Rep. Rashida Tlaib from the recent People’s Conference for Palestine in which she makes the claim that land was stolen from the Palestinians during the founding of the state of Israel.  Mark reminds us of the fact that the founder of the Palestine movement on which Tlaib is speaking was actually Yasser Arafat who was born in Egypt, that the land which she claims was ‘Palestinian’ land was actually land described in the Bible as Shiloh which was Jewish land.  Mark also reminds us that the Palestinians living in Jordan tried to overthrow that country in 1970, explaining that this is why no other Arab nation will accept the Palestinian Arabs into their country.

The 1929 massacre by local Arabs is not just a painful chapter in the past but a reality that still impacts the region.

Moshe Phillips | Sept 8, 2025

Itamar Ben-Gvir, the outspoken Israeli politician who currently serves as Israel’s Minister of National Security, was recently targeted by Hamas for assassination. Fortunately, the plot was uncovered in early September and the would-be murderers from the “Hebron area,” according to reports, are now in custody.

This news item is among the first international news out of the “Hebron area” to break since Elliot Kaufman’s Wall Street Journal op-ed on July 5, “A New Palestinian Offer for Peace With Israel,” which offered a naive and misguided view of the potential for peace in the region. Kaufman reported that local sheikhs in Hebron could take the lead in peace efforts with Israel, ignoring the complexities and political realities that make such an idea not only impossible and impractical but dangerous.
