Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: US-Israel Initiative” | November 30, 2025
*Contrary to conventional wisdom, US-Israel relations do not constitute a one-way-street, but a mutually-beneficial two-way-street. Israel is not a beneficiary of foreign aid, but a game-changing ally of the US, benefiting from an annual US investment, which has transformed Israel into a unique force and dollar multiplier for the US defense and aerospace industries and Armed Forces, as well as for the US Treasury (as documented below). Thus, Israel saves the US many years of research and development (mega-billion dollars), enhances the global competitiveness of US defense products, bolsters the global leadership of the US’ defense and commercial technologies, expands US export and the US’ employment base, increases US income tax revenues, and bolsters the US national security.

Amid reports by the WSJ on the financial schemes leading negotiators and supporters of the negotiations to respectively design and support Trump’s Ukraine peace plan, it is interesting to reflect upon the gross mismanagement which is and has been a persistent hallmark of Ukraine’s management of the war with Russia, the most recent example of which in discussed in the video below. Of course, Ukraine’s pay for play scheme is but one aspect of Ukrainian corruption which has been well in place long before Russia’s invasion began, and even before Zelensky won a 5 year term as president into which he has now served about 6 1/2 years. In fact, fiscal irresponsibility has been well institutionalized within Ukraine’s domestic finances since its creation in 1991, and throwing US funds into this seemingly black hole of corruption hasn’t made the Ukrainians more fiscally responsible…recall the $6 billion of USAID funding to Ukraine which went missing and was never recovered.
Peloni: We live in an age in which Jews govern over and live in their ancestral homelands, or at least some of them. These are Jewish lands, and are guaranteed as a safe haven for our Jewish brethren around the world when and if and as the need arises for such a safe haven as was blocked from European Jewry which resulted in the Holocaust. It is a testament to the solidarity and support of our own people, such as took place the Jews were expelled from all of Arabia and later those who left the Soviet Union those who were rescued from Ethiopia. We have a home in Israel, and it is open even for those of our people who do not yet dwell in the lands of our forefathers.

Israel is preparing for the increasing wave of antisemitism. accompanied by rising violence that could trigger large-scale Jewish immigration to the Jewish State.
The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, together with the National Emergency Authority (RAHEL), conducted on Thursday a strategic exercise simulating a national emergency scenario for absorbing a significant influx of Jewish immigrants from around the world.

The Marxist-Islamic persecution of Christians in China and Africa is a warning to all of us.
Last month, Communist China launched its largest ever crackdown on Christians. The raids across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians.

With the Gaza War drawing to a close, one might worry that anti-Israel activists have been deprived of their main arena to accuse Israel of genocide – but not to worry, as several outlets have already embarked on a new campaign to implicate Israel in the genocidal fighting in Sudan.

Iran’s henchmen have a penchant for threatening political opponents with violence, which has taken new form in the digital age. The Jerusalem Post revealed on November 21 that a new organization, the Punishment for Justice Movement, was offering tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for the assassination of Israeli academics with some designated as special targets. Although the organization has no overt ties to Tehran, its behavior fits into a broader pattern of regime behavior. Within hours, the website was taken down, but the psychological damage may have already been done.
Technical Assessment: Iran Wanted To Be Discovered
On its website, this alleged “non-governmental and international movement” encouraged Israelis and people abroad to harm or even kill Israeli academics in exchange as much as $100,000. Simple acts of intimidation like posting intimidating flyers might reward the culprit with $1,000.

Despots like each other’s company: Hitler and Mussolini, Stalin and Chairman Mao, Franco and Salazar, and now, Maduro and Ayatollah Khamenei. In fact the Iran-Venezuela alliance goes back several decades, but only now has it fully blossomed in all areas. More on their many-sided partnership can be found here: “The Cross-Continental Threat: Iran and Venezuela’s US-Defying Partnership,” by Ray Palumbo and Yoni Tobin, Algemeiner, November 25, 2025:
Peloni: Notably, this policy change, which is well warranted and could be argued to have been an important move after Trump first returned to the White House, the reality is that if this policy had been in place for the past 10 months, it wouldn’t have prevented the terror attack in Washington DC. Evicting unvetted migrants from the US is what is called for, millions of them.

The State Department is ordering its posts to stop processing all Afghan national visas, according to an internal document obtained by the Daily Caller.
Peloni: Anni suggests that the Middle East is no longer afraid of Iranian dominance, but of an Iranian demise which sees the region engulfed in flames. As such, the Gulf states are looking to the US as a mediating power which can keep the post 12 Day War region from spiraling into such a scenario by negotiating with Iran, restraining Israel and giving the Sunni states nearly all that they request. Her conclusion is that by playing such a role, the US has made its slogan of America First irrelevant and replaced it with a Gulf First reality, as the stabilizing effort by the US revolves around supporting the Gulf states’ interests and not that of the US or its real ally Israel.
Behind Closed Doors: Panic, Economics, and a Collapsing Iran

The Middle East went through a twelve-day shockwave five months ago, a rupture that broke every old assumption about power, fear, and survival. Nations that once postured as regional lions are now whispering in Washington’s hallways like anxious shareholders at a collapsing corporation. And at the center of this panic sits Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, the man who spent the better part of a decade locking horns with Iran, suddenly presenting himself as a peacemaker between Tehran and Washington.
Peloni: Again, we must take note that those who are engaging in pro-Iranian, antisemitism are not conservatives. They walk like the Left, they talk like the Left, and they attack conservative values and allies like the Left. We must acknowledge this fact, and make little use of the term ‘conservative’ when describing them or we run the risk of doing the hard work of achieving their goals for them.

Peloni: This is a very important article. The article linked below was brought to my attention, and I suggest that a careful digestion of what is depicted there is in order.
Rabbi Goldfeder, who is founder and director of National Jewish Advocacy Center and a professor at Touro Law School, explains that despite concerns surrounding NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s response to antisemitic incidents in NYC, the NY City’s Jewish community has strong legal protections in place to deal with this concern.
Goldfeder notes that the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC) has outlined several powerful legal tools which will support the Jewish community if needed. Among these, the FACE Act provides legal protections for religious worship from physical obstruction and intimidation. Also, Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 allows citizens the ability to sue government officials who violate constitutional rights through discriminatory enforcement or deliberate indifference. Additionally, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 provides for equal protection and addresses bias-motivated attacks, as demonstrated in cases where anti-Zionist violence has been recognized as antisemitism under federal law.

Janet Levy: Trump’s “Great Friend” Qatar Committed to Undermining the West from Within
by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury • Gatestone Institute • November 28, 2025
Qatar continues to conduct one of the most extensive foreign influence operations in modern history. Through hundreds of billions of dollars — estimated at up to a trillion dollars — funneled into Western universities, research centers, media platforms and political advocacy networks, Qatar has become the leading global patron of the Muslim Brotherhood in pushing an ideological agenda aimed at reshaping democratic societies from within.

Americans are traditionally self-absorbed, focused on their lives and, at best, domestic politics. That’s why it’s stunning to see how much coverage, fury and focus, there has been for two years on Israel in Gaza.
