On Mark Levin’s Saturday 13 show, he opens with a discussion of the deep and obvious conflict which would result in the election of an acknowledged communist or Islamist candidate, and the implications which would follow when administering the oath of office to such individuals.
Peloni: Highly recommended article. The charge of genocide against Israel has been one of the most repeated—and consequential—claims leveled against Israel since October 7, yet, what happens when the rhetoric is set aside and the numbers themselves are scrutinized more closely? In the following essay, Harry Liberman provides a provocative analysis applying the principles of statistics, military constraints, demographics, and intent to the casualty figures and destruction reported from Gaza. Under such scrutiny, the data tell a very different story from the one dominating much of the media narrative.

In his seminal 1988 book Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences, professor John Allen Paulos diagnosed a profound cultural malady: the widespread inability of the public to comprehend numbers, scales, and probabilities.
Peloni: Many have suggested that VP JD Vance’s performance at the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) was an important first step, but the truth is that he addressed none of his inflammatory and antisemitic comments carried in the interview he had with Joe Rogan, and he didn’t address the fact that he acknowledges a strong and enduring friendship with one of the largest promoters of Jew Hatred in the US. In fact, the comments he did make at that event were so irrelevant to these other significant issues, I am not sure why he bothered to show up at the RJC. Well, David Brody explains why he showed up, but I think Vance’s efforts to ignore these comments and relationships have done him no favors. It may however have done the Jews of America a favor in clarifying that Vance does not believe that he should address these issues as if they have any political significance at all.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance is facing significant skepticism from Jewish voters, according to a new national poll – an important data point to ingest if he decides to seek the presidency in 2028.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly offered Israeli military participation in a broader regional effort to counter the Iranian-backed Houthi militia in Yemen, the Lebanese news outlet Al-Akhbar reported Friday, citing unnamed U.S. sources.
Peloni: The key to dealing with Iran’s proxies lies in bringing down the IRGC regime in Iran. Once that is accomplished the various Iranian proxies will be forced to sink or swim on their own, isolated without coordinated support or outside assistance. Hence, Trump’s reluctance to shift the focus of US assets in the region is very sound. What Trump should do is to act to have the Saudis return to a coordinated military arrangement with their Emerati colleagues, if not also with Israel and Somaliland, but these are probably a bridge which is unlikely to be crossed by MBS, which is why he is facing the Houthis alone at the moment.
Iraq’s confirmation that an attack on Saudi energy infrastructure originated from its territory has raised new questions over the power of Iran-backed militias.

Iranian-backed militias in Iraq were responsible for an attack on a key oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi government confirmed on Saturday that the attack came from Iraq’s Maysan province. A local commander has been dismissed, the Rudaw media channel in Iraq said. Iraq has sought to prevent Saudi Arabia from retaliating by admitting the attack came from Iraq.
The media narrative has been set in stone for years: the real victims of 9/11 were Muslims in the U.S., who for a quarter-century now have suffered from unreasonable suspicion, hatred, harassment, discrimination and worse at the hands of racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And yet in reality, if Osama bin Laden and Mohamed Atta were alive today, they would look at what is happening in the United States with a deep sense of satisfaction.
Dr. Martin Sherman, head of the Israeli Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), discusses UK’s decision to sanction Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria as well as the steps taken by Israel in response to them.
Peloni: Geoffrey Clarfield offers insights into how Israel should stop trying to fit itself into the antisemitic subculture of the international establishment and how it should instead seek to form its own center of highlighted cultures from regions and people who support and embrace the Jewish State and the Jewish people.

Most Israelis are understandably outraged by the near-universal cultural boycott of this year’s Israel Festival. The festival is intended to celebrate Israeli creativity while bringing artists, musicians, and performers from around the world to Jerusalem. Instead, many international participants refused to come.
Once again, Israelis are confronted with a disturbing reality: following October 7 and the atrocities committed against Israeli civilians, it is Israel, not Hamas, that increasingly finds itself isolated and boycotted in cultural circles around the world.
Well, Mr. President, it’s complicated, and your wavering actions in terms of various foreign policy decisions have me concerned quite a bit, as illustrated here…

The pages of human history are littered with the ruins of empires that believed they could purge the Jewish people and prosper in the vacuum. From the pharaohs of antiquity to the totalitarian regimes of the modern era, a structural law of civilization has consistently borne out: antisemitism is a terminal disease for the societies that host it.
Peloni: This plot twist is planned next for America, and if the US political leadership continues its resistance in addressing this threat, America will become the next Londonstan.
The question that so many Brits are presumably asking themselves these days is not only why the British government thinks it a good idea to allow continued illegal immigration into the country, but why men from the third world in particular, who think raping women and children is normal, should be allowed to set foot on British soil at all.

Britain is falling – hard. Worse, the British government appears to be facilitating its fall.
Peloni: Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss the absurdities behind the notorious claim that PM Netanyahu was informed about the attack some 10 days before October 7. This discussion begins at about 25 minute mark, following the Israeli election news surrounding the Likud lists and the authenticity (or possible lack) of Ofer Winter being an honest supporter of the national camp.
Britain did not recognize Israel until 1950, two years after its founding, and was among the last Western democracies to do so. Part of a pattern.

British politicians across party lines have increasingly adopted the language and framing of Palestinian Arab advocacy organizations. The UK Foreign Office has long advised British companies not to trade with Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria (aka the ‘West Bank’), falsely calling them “illegal under international law.” These proposals have not yet become law, but they represent the strongest push toward a ‘West Bank’ boycott in UK political history. Britain has aligned with EU policy requiring special labeling for products made in ‘West Bank’ settlements. Up to Miliband’s announcement, Britain had not announced a full boycott of Israel or the ‘West Bank’. But it has taken multiple steps that function as partial boycotts, especially discouraging trade with settlements, reviewing arms exports, supporting ‘settlement’-specific import bans and enabling local BDS-style actions
At the beginning of the century, just as at the beginning of the previous century, there was a global pandemic. In between, we completely forgot that there had even been a previous pandemic. The difference between the two is very significant: the one that broke out in 2019 was the product of human action, and the person responsible from the outset became a national hero and a celebrity, received a full presidential pardon, and now he is laughing at us all.

Israel presents militant fundamentalist Islam with a problem that no alteration of borders can finally resolve.
Peloni: Bravo! The bridging of the Second Amendment right to bear arms with the First Amendment to the freedom of religion provides the basis on which the freedom of religion might be practiced with impunity. The very purpose of terrorism is to weaponize fear against the defenseless. An armed public provides a strong defense against such tactics being successful. Every Jew (and Gentiles too) a 22. Enough said.
The Liberal government’s pursuit of Muslim and pro-Palestinian voters has helped legitimize a movement whose hostility toward Israel increasingly follows Canadian Jews into their schools, synagogues, campuses and neighborhoods.

Canada has a Palestine problem.
It has allowed a foreign nationalist cause to become a domestic political weapon, a public loyalty test, and an excuse for treating Canadian Jews as representatives of a country thousands of kilometers away.
Peloni: The literal personification of the Red-Green axis are mocking the somber ceremony commemorating those who perished in the worst terrorist attack in American history. They just can’t resist in telling the world what they really are. No apology is necessary, as the truth told in this moment frozen in time will serve to explain the truth to many who might still not grasp who these people are.
After 9/11 victims created a petition asking New York City’s current Marxist-Islamist Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to come to the 9/11 remembrance memorial on the 25th anniversary of the attack, and were joined by 100,000 others, Mamdani came to the event anyway. He was going to be there whether the victims liked it or not.
