A On May 15, as has been done for decades, Palestinian Arabs, their supporters and Israel detractors observed the “Nakba” or the catastrophe of Israel’s birth in 1948. In order to understand the veracity of that narrative and how it’s been conflated in modern dialogue and reporting, it’s important to understand what lies behind that. This is Part Three of a Six Part series.

The Term and Its Meaning

The word “Nakba” is Arabic for “catastrophe.” For Palestinians and their supporters who have become conflated with and indistinguishable from Israel detractors, it marks the displacement of roughly 700,000 Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the evacuation and destruction of villages, and the broader loss of land following the Arab rejection of a two-state solution, and war that five Arab states launched against the fledgling Jewish state. It claims that Arabs were “expelled” where the historic truth shows that many fled of their own volition, urged by the Arab leaders at the time to do so. The “Nakba” has become the cornerstone of Palestinian national identity. Rather than being rooted in a Declaration of Independence, it gave birth to their declaration of resistance.

Peloni:  Promises made, promises kept.  Hunt down every single one of them.  They documented their infamy and sealed their fate while doing so.  As Hugh Fitzgerald explains below, this is a clear message regarding the fate of all future potential butchers, but it also serves as the closest remedy approximating justice for the victims of those savages who are still walking the streets, enjoying their lives, and recalling the joy they experienced in the massacre of so many innocents.  We will not forget the victims, and we will not forgive their slaughter.  For the perpetrators of October 7,  we will find you, and we will kill you, so look forward to it.  This is the promise.

A clear message to all future perpetrators.

After Hamas terrorists’ orgy of rape, torture, mutilation, and murder on October 7, 2023, the IDF began its war to destroy Hamas inside Gaza. At the same time, the Israelis wanted to make sure that a subset of Hamas members — those terrorists who took part in the October 7 attack, in any capacity — would be hunted down and killed. To this end, the IDF established an elite group to locate, and then to summarily execute, those who were participants in the atrocities. More about this group can be found here: “Israel established elite task force to hunt down terrorists who took part in Oct. 7 – report,” by Tzvi Jasper, Jerusalem Post, May 21, 2026:

Peloni:  This is an important article.  The Muslim Brotherhood has had a century of success in which it has honed its expertise in spreading its tentacles of ideological capture across the globe.  The exploitation of the quiet conquest of the world has taken root and is spreading like an advanced cancer as it is finding little opposition across the West.  Europe has been so well infiltrated that the population there is being corralled like cattle into a dhimmi future by the very institutions which should be protecting them rather.  Meanwhile, as Sharia compounds are rising around America, the passphrase of tolerance is ever weaponized towards America’s fall to this reverse crusade marching against the West.  On June 2, 2026 Emily Winkler, Founder and CEO of VALOP Group, will be hosted by Jonathan Feldstein on his “Inspiration from Zion” podcast.  This is a not to be missed interview which will discuss the conquest of America which is taking place in real time.  Advance registration is required.

As the United States gears up to celebrate its 250^th anniversary, I have watched with growing alarm as the freedoms we cherish have been systematically exploited by those who despise these very freedoms, and use them to destroy America and American values. The chief offender of this systematic invasion is the Moslem Brotherhood. The “Brotherhood” motto declares “Allah is our objective; the Koran is our constitution; the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” It has been executing a decades-long strategy of infiltration into America and the West. This is not conspiracy theory. It is documented fact, revealed through raids, trials, and internal memoranda that the Brotherhood itself produced. But there’s more.

Peloni: Regarding Jordan’s embrace of terrorism, it must be recalled that America hands Jordan an impressive more than $1 billion dollars in humanitarian aid, even Jordan refuses, year after year to do more than deny American demands for Jordan to turn the self proclaimed butcher of Sbarro over to the US for the prosecution of having murdered and maimed Americans.  In such a relationship as exists between a superpower and a nation which has trouble keeping their people above the poverty line even with the princely payment of Yankee dollars, it remains an inexplicable example of a cerebral disconnect that this butcheress remains free and at large in the sanctuary of Jordan, which only survives due to those Yankee dollars coming regularly every year.  America has the means by which to force this terrorist to justice, even after these decades which places Sbarro on the distant side of so many additional slaughters.

A new study of the books used in Jordanian schools has found that they “continually justify” the October 7 atrocities as “a response to Israeli oppression.”

That’s consistent with the assortment of rationalizations, minimizations, and denials of October 7 that have been heard from prominent Jordanians. Recall what Queen Rania said: “It hasn’t been independently verified…that Israeli children [were] found butchered…There’s no proof of that.”

Peloni:  Victor Satya perfectly describes the cognitive disconnect which exists between the genocidal attacks on Israel and the inexplicable demands of acquiescence which  the West requires Israel to accept as a consequence. More than this, he explains the simple truth that such an outcome of subjugation in the wake of slaughter as the world is demanding exclusively of the Jew of the nations will not be forthcoming, and of course, Victor is quite correct.

Whenever Israel goes to war against those who openly promise to erase it, the international community begins one of its favourite political pantomimes. Iran threatens annihilation. Hezbollah fires rockets. Hamas massacres Jews, and the Houthis launch rockets from so far away they may as well require a connecting flight. And then, with impeccable moral seriousness, the world turns toward Israel and demands to know why it appears so “unwilling to de-escalate.”

One almost has to admire the choreography.

Many Jews and Israelis still don’t fully see it, but we are dealing with a dangerous level of corruption and entrenched power at the highest levels of our institutions, a “deep state” of unelected officials that often works against the interests of the Israeli people and our elected leaders because they represent a strong nationalist-religious direction for the Jewish state of Israel, that is abhorrent to them.

Amid a report that she is PM Netanyahu’s preferred candidate to succeed Ofir Akunis as Israel’s next consul general in New York, International Affairs Advisor to PM Netanyahu Caroline Glick appeared on an interview on JNS to discussed Israel’s war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.   During the interview, Glick aptly described Hezbollah as Iran’s “foreign legion,” having entrenched itself within Lebanese society, government institutions, and civilian areas. She explains that Hezbollah has rebuilt parts of its military infrastructure after suffering serious setbacks from Israeli operations over the past more than two years, including assassinations and strikes on missile stockpiles.  In the wake of Iran’s renewed attacks on Israel’s northern communities, she states that Israel can simply not tolerate this to continue.

A core element of the Nakba narrative is the notion that there was an independent entity known as “Palestine,” that was occupied, and a “Palestinian” people that were displaced with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Indeed there were Arabs who fled due to the war and due to Arab leaders calling upon them to leave. The Nakba narrative erases the truth by calling it an “expulsion” when the reality is that many fled voluntarily, not even in the midst of battle. But history proves that in no case was Israel’s 1948-1949 War of Independence – which would have been the Arabs’ War of Annhilation had they succeeded – designed to eliminate the Arabs in pre-state Mandatory Palestine, whether they were indigenous or not.

Peloni:  As the Peace Processors are revving up for another display of insanity in pushing Islamist pegs into peace sized holes, it should be noted that using terrorists as mock peacemakers was a foundational underpinning built into the Oslo Accords, the replication of which should be avoided at all costs. The world should listen to Dahlan when he says he has no interest in leading a Pal state, just as they should ignore him when he announces his support for creating a second Pal state.  Instead, the recognition of the already created Pal state in Jordan is what should be pursued.  If peace is the objective, recognizing Jordan as the Muslim Palestinian state is the only viable solution, but again, not under Dahlan.
