“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,” a terrorist declares on the Flight 93 cockpit recording. That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.

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 we look at a world yet again threatened by spiritual darkness.

Peloni:  It is hard to forget the day when the policy of abandonment and betrayal known as the Disengagement was set in place in 2005, when Jews would force Jewish lands of Gaza to be made Judenrein.  It was like losing sight in one eye, or having the stability afforded by two legs ripped out from below, but in truth, the loss which penetrated the Jewish psyche that day was so much more pervasive, perfidious, and painful, because it was intended that this legacy of loss and betrayal would be cast down thru the ages in perpetuity, an ever present betrayal to be handed down from generation to generation.  Today, some twenty years after that betrayal began, we stand at a point of perhaps repairing what was broken, of making Gaza Jewish again, of breaking the sense of legitimacy which makes Jews pariahs in their own lands, of ending the policy of Judenrein territory with Jewish compliance in the Jewish state.  Is this the path which will be followed in the days of the Day After policy, or will the Day After simply be a new rehearsal of the abandonment and betrayal which began in August 2005…

A Jewish woman weeps as Israeli soldiers surround the settlement of Neve Dekalim, in southern Gaza, on August 18, 2005, and prepare to move in. Even those Israelis who strongly backed the plan were greatly saddened to see Jews dragged from their homes. The leftist novelist David Grossman wrote in Ha’aretz: “These are days of mourning for all Israelis. We can mourn today for the passion, the pioneering spirit, the purposefulness that for years pulsed through Gush Katif and which will soon dissipate like smoke, and for the fabric of life there that will be shredded come tomorrow.”

First of all, there’s no doubt Israel informed President Trump before the operation. With major U.S. military bases in Qatar, there’s simply no way Israel would have carried out a strike there without coordinating with the Trump administration.

Did the U.S. then inform Qatar? And if so, did Qatar tip off the Hamas leadership living in luxury in Doha? We don’t know. And frankly, we may never know.

But the fact that we even have to ask those questions should tell you everything about the dangerous double game Qatar plays in the region.

Peloni:  The insanity and incompetence which guides such chaos will be unlikely to garner the support to bring this to a successful conclusion of disarming Hezbollah.

The Lebanese cabinet heard, on Friday, a presentation from Army Chief Rodolphe Haykal on a confidential plan to monopolize arms, as tasked by the government on August 5. The cabinet then issued a statement, and Information Minister Paul Morcos held a press conference. The vague responses left observers divided, with each side interpreting the outcome differently. Some saw progress toward disarming Hezbollah, while others accused the government of stalling in collusion with the pro-Iran militia. Supporters of Hezbollah and its ally, Amal, were left uncertain about whether to support or oppose the decision. This ambiguity has fueled confusion: Will Lebanon disarm Hezbollah, or not?

One of the nightmares that periodically jolt me awake is the image of an American jumping from the inferno-ravaged upper stories of New York’s World Trade Center into the dust-plumed streets below.  He is tormented and maybe praying and then gone.  More than anything else, that horror from 9/11 haunts me.

 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

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.

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.
