Key points raised by Mudar Zahran in the second half of this conversation:
Peloni: The truth about Settler Violence is that it is a myth. The myth of Settler Violence is useful in the West to explain their lack of interest in terrorism waged against the Israeli people.

*The perpetrators of the October 7, 2023 horrific terrorism were graduates of the Palestinian Authority school curriculum, which is also implemented in Gaza. It was established by Mahmoud Abbas at the end of 1993 (as a follow up to the Oslo Accord). In 2025, it was updated by the Palestinian Ministry of Education.
Peloni: It is important to grasp that the first pogroms ever conducted in Israel upto that point were launched during the 2021 War of Riots and Rockets, but only after Hamas began their rocket attacks. Furthermore, both the Riots and the Rockets of that war came subsequently to the libels launched against Israel by king Abdullah of Jordan, in which he claimed that Israel was violating the sanctity of the Al Aqsa mosque – something which is strictly prohibited by the Israeli Jordanian peace treaty, and just one of many Jordanian violations of that piece of paper.
Hence, the eliciting move which led to the activation of the fifth column within Israel in 2021 came first from the incitement of Abdullah and then in coordination with the Hamas’ rocket attacks. This threat of the Fifth Column of Jihadis in Israel can not be ignored, but it should be understood that the greater threat is in its coordinated actions which would support an outside attack, rather than on its own. Hamas must be destroyed, and the illegal possession of weapons within Israel must be eliminated. These are not mutually exclusive goals, but rather, they are complimentary in securing the safety and security of Israel.

Israel Must Wake Up: The Fifth Column Has Already Shown Itself — And It Will Rise Again
Peloni: Fourteen months ago, Joan Swirsky noted that Voter Fraud: The Only Issue That Matters in 2024. She was right. It is good to see that the DOJ is moving towards the objective of providing full transparency and accountability of an election which is now 5yrs old, but the reality is that this should have been pursued in the early months of Trump’s second term. Imani notes that this is the “first step in a 2026 campaign to clean the slate”, but why was this campaign to clean the slate not begun in the early months of 2025. Election integrity should be a fundamental right which should be pursued without a political basis, and preferably not specifically at the height of a political season, right?

The time for “polite inquiries” is officially over. For five years, the bureaucratic fortress of Fulton County, Georgia has stonewalled every attempt to look under the hood of the 2020 election. They hid behind state seals, played legal shell games with ballot locations, and treated public record requests like personal insults. But as of December 2025, the game has changed. The Department of Justice (DOJ), now acting as a legal strike force under the Trump administration, has launched a federal offensive that is sending shockwaves through the Georgia political establishment.
Peloni: Watch as this breathtaking video of only 13 minutes by Rabbi Uri Pilichowski as he describes the events of the last two years. As we have each been hard wired to study the rolling events of the past two years, noting every victory, every casualty, every surprise and every response, the toll has been overwhelming, mentally fatiguing and emotionally wrenching. Yet, what history will tell of our age is exactly as Rabbi Pilichowksi has described with the exceptional insight that he offers us. As the world closed in against us, as our enemies mounted campaign after campaign to destroy us, we have survived, and that survival has been achieved in the most extraordinary and exceptional of fashions, the detailed means of which we are each intimately familiar, but which our descendants and those of our enemies will be better able to recognize from a distance of time and relevance as is needed for history of a single truth: It was a miracle to which we are too close to easily grasp!
Am Israel Chai!
Many thanks to my friend David Nussbaum and his kind cousin for sharing this!
Peloni: There will be no second Palestinian state. Not ever.
Anti-Semitic hate speech and terrorism must be punished. When world leaders call for immediate Palestinian Arab statehood in the aftermath of October 7, they send a chilling message: that terrorism works.

Last August, Netanyahu publicly accused Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of betraying Israel over Australia’s intention to recognize a Palestinian Arab state. Today, Albanese rejected Netanyahu’s assertion that Canberra’s recognition of Palestinian Arab statehood contributed to the deadly antisemitic terror attack in Sydney’s Bondi area.
Peloni: The scope of the October 7 inquiry grows ever more interesting.
Opposition accuses gov’t of trying to obscure responsibility for Oct 7 invasion by highlighting past failures

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday defended his government’s plans to establish a “National Commission of Inquiry,” rather than a state-level commission, amid withering criticism from the opposition and the justice system.

Peloni: Vance tries to gaslight the rising tide of Jew Hatred in the US on both the Right and the Left as being “real backlash to a consensus view in American foreign policy”. America needs a champion which will enforce the laws of the land, but to do so, it requires a person of character and integrity which can recognize when the laws are being breached and who can exercise the moral stamina to counter those breaches. Antisemitism is growing at a record pace in America, but the vice president only sees it as a basis on which to promote his own foreign policy agenda. This is a very dangerous standard to support. With Rubio recently announcing he would not run against Vance, and both Erica Kirk and Tucker Carlson have endorsed Vance for a 2028 election run, making both Vance’s moral cowardice and his political maniupulation on the topic of antisemitism all the more relevant and troubling.

Amid the ongoing clashes over support for Israel that have been roiling the Republican Party these last few weeks, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee affirmed that his support for Israel remains based on faith, while Vice President JD Vance again declined to confront rising anti-Israel sentiment in the party.
Peloni: Trump’s misguided policy of strengthening and emboldening Turkey is having regional and global effects.

The leaders of Israel, Greece and Cyprus affirmed their friendship and cooperation, particularly in “security, defense and military matters,” sending a thinly veiled message to Turkey following the most recent tripartite summit in Jerusalem on Monday.
Renewed clashes between Damascus forces and Kurdish units in Aleppo underscore how fragile efforts to integrate the SDF into Syria’s new security framework remain, despite ceasefire agreements.
By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | DECEMBER 23, 2025
A major gun battle developed in Aleppo between law enforcement of the government in Damascus and local security forces of two Kurdish neighborhoods.
This is not the first time that there have been clashes in Aleppo in these areas. However, this battle quickly threatened to escalate until a ceasefire was announced.
Court cites risk of obstruction as labor federation head remains barred from post until March 2026.
Israfan | Dec 23, 2025
The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court on Monday extended for another 90 days the suspension of Arnon Bar-David, chairman of Israel’s powerful Histadrut labor federation, amid a widening corruption investigation.
Judge Dorit Saban-Noy ruled in favor of state prosecutors, citing strong evidence and ongoing risks of obstruction if Bar-David resumes his role while the case remains in its early investigative stages. The extension keeps Bar-David from any involvement with Histadrut institutions until at least late March 2026.
Janet Levy: Qatar harbors the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood.
Israel recently killed a senior Hamas military commander who was one of the architects of the Massacre of October 7th and was chastised by Trump for “breaking the “ceasefire.”
Iran remains (since 1979) the strongest sponsor of the PLO/Fatah terrorist organization.Lenny Ben-David, the author of Sunni and Terrorist Networks: Competition or Collusion wrote: “The Palestinian assertion that Sunni and Shiite terrorist groups do not cooperate is baseless and historically wrong. Recent history has demonstrated that there are few religious-ideological barriers in the world of international terrorism.” Especially when it comes to Israel.
Both are mortal enemies who share a deadly hostility for Israel.

Peloni: Prof. of Law Eugene Kontorovich is one of the world’s preeminent experts on universal jurisdiction and maritime piracy, as well as international law and the Israel-Arab conflict. Below, Kontorovich discusses Israel’s real borders and exposes many false narratives which defy reality and truth about those borders.
Key points
- Israel was not created by the UN: The United Nations lacks authority to create states; its 1947 partition plan was both non-binding and rejected by Arab states.
- The Holocaust did not create Israel: The reconstitution of the Jewish state was accepted and planned decades before the Shoah; the Holocaust actually weakened Jewish capacity to establish it.
- The League of Nations Mandate for Palestine is the key legal foundation: It was a binding international instrument recognizing the Jewish national home.

Over the course of this past week, the more I read about what happened at Bondi Beach and what is happening around the world, the more horrific did I understand our situation to be. Evil confronts us on every side.
But we will not let it triumph.
