My mother was first generation Canadian. Her mother escaped from Russia. My dad fled Poland to come to Canada for a better life. They are part of the greatest generation who fought for our Western culture, our freedom and now… those still alive have had to watch the fall of civilization in Canada and Jews leaving out of fear for their safety.

What happened, Oh… Canada? We used to be a proud people. We had values that came from the Hebrew Bible, the ethic of freedom, the Judeo/Christian ethic that taught us all people are born with equal intrinsic value. All life is sacred. We have free will. These values were our moral foundation.  And all of us practiced them for the common good. Then came Justin Trudeau:

For two years, Israel has been fighting a war on multiple fronts. Israel has delivered serious blows to Iran’s rulers, Hezbollah, and Hamas on the ground, but it hasn’t been winning the information war — a campaign of slander and blood libels fueled by a media empire built by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Dear Friends,

In times like these, clear, factual, and courageous voices for Israel are more important than ever. The mission of Israpundit has always been to share truth, defend Israel against misinformation, and give readers a place to find clarity and conviction.

Every article published, every translation, and every update we share takes time, research, and resources. Israpundit operates independently — no large organization or advertiser tells us what to say or influences our agenda. That independence is a major strength of this site, but it also means we rely entirely on readers who believe in this cause and support what I do.

Peloni:  Must See Video!  Many truths are spoken here by Tal Oren, but the greatest truth of all is that Israel’s sovereignty has been sold to the Americans, and they do not intend to give it up.  As VP Vance describes Israel as a sovereign nation, he displays his disdain for Israel making sovereign choices.  This only reinforces the focused determination with which Trump assures the world to not worry about the possibility of Israel extending sovereignty over the ‘West Bank’ when in fact and law, there is no West Bank, but only Judea and Samaria, which are Jewish lands.   There is only ONE reason why anyone would object to Israel recognizing its own land as its own land and that is because it is intended that our ancestral lands of Judea and Samaria are intended to be hacked off of the Jewish State.  Tal is quite correct.  This will only end in a greater slaughter, followed by a greater conflict, in which much Jewish blood and treasure will be spent doing what should have been done long ago, namely to recognized the commitment made in the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, which is still binding international law, and in which the international community already recognizes Judea and Samaria as part of the Jewish State of Israel.

Let Israel Declare Sovereignty Over [Judea & Samaria] NOW!

Peloni:  While I don’t agree that Jews are hated by both sides of the American political aisle yet, there is a powerful endorsement against Jews by political actors who are recognized as Republicans, even as they support too much of Obama’s own agenda to entirely ignore.  These ‘Woke Right’ represent a serious threat to Jewry, in Israel and the Diaspora as well, and if they dominate in the battle for the future of the Republican Party, that future would be set along quite a dark path to travel.

A new and vicious antisemitism has become fashionable for many young Americans on both the left and, sadly, the right. Conversations praising Hitler and joking about “a so-called Holocaust” are all over X, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Most Jews of my “Boomer” generation know nothing about this.

We grew up in an America where it was normal for Jews to live safe and comfortable lives. We laughed at Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah Song because it seemed like almost everyone in public life had a Jewish connection. American Jews generously funded the ADL, AIPAC, and countless Jewish Federations and other organizations to protect Jews and fight antisemitism.

Peloni: This is an important depiction of the complexity which exists between US and Israeli interests, and the relationship which has been built between these two great nations by the coordination between Trump and Netanyahu…and the cost is unfortunately to be Israel’s right to extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

Let’s set the record straight regarding two false assumptions that have recently been treated as “facts” in public discourse:

Contrary to what has been claimed, sovereignty in Judea and Samaria did not die because of the Knesset vote.

Legal brief and historical proof of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria

Arthur A. Flower | All Israel News | Oct 23, 2025

Peloni:  The notion that Hezbollah will be dislogded from its control over Lebanon is nonsensical.  They control the plurality of the nation’s population, a near majority, if not a majority of its military, and a still significant force of arms and men which are independent of the state’s control.  So the US will continue to spend billions of dollars yearly while the government will continue its pretense of isolating Hezbollah, but nothing will come from this plan because it defies the realities on the ground as have all other previous initiatives to disarm Hezbollah.  There is no capacity in Lebanon to do what is expected in Amb. Barrack’s plan.

“Break the taboos; we demand peace,” declared Marcel Ghanem, host of Lebanon’s premier talk show. “Demanding peace [with Israel] is not a crime,” he emphasized, challenging entrenched narratives. Marwan Hamade, a seasoned Druze lawmaker, appeared on I24 News (French service) to discuss Gaza, signaling a willingness to defy Lebanon’s surreal boycott laws. Pundit Tony Karam condemned deceptive negotiations with Israel and delusions of victory over it, writing, “It’s time for political courage.” A group of anonymous Lebanese launched the “Lebanon Israel Initiative” to foster dialogue and cooperation between the neighboring nations.

Peloni:  J.D. Vance, hypocrisy is thy name.  Hours after giving lip service to acknowledging Israel is a sovereign nation and not a vassal state, he admits taking umbrage to the Knesset asserting itself as sovereign in a vote which only advanced legislation towards demonstrating Israel’s sovereignty.

The Sovereignty Movement to the Prime Minister: Your role is to protect the dignity of the people of Israel, even when facing a friendly American president. There is no place for threats, condescension, or disrespect between allies. Sovereignty is a necessity.

J.D. Vance feels “offended” and it’s really not clear about what or why. The ones who are truly offended are actually us, in light of the blunt and threatening tone of the American president toward the government of Israel, toward the Israeli parliament, toward the people of Israel, toward the Jewish people as a whole, when he tells us that if Israel applies sovereignty to the heart of our land it will lose all American support.

IDF says no decision made yet, notes improvement in community defenses and alert units

All Israel News Staff | Published: October 23, 2025

The IDF plans to significantly reduce the number of its troops deployed in Judea and Samaria, according to a report in Ynet News on Thursday.

Following the outbreak of the Oct. 7 war with Gaza, the military strongly reinforced its presence throughout Judea and Samaria to protect Jewish communities and settlements there from facing a similar threat to the one faced by the Gaza Envelope communities two years ago.

Is this savagery what was intended by the unrelenting lamentations made by world leaders on behalf of the people of Gazans when they pushed the badly flawed ceasefire plan forward?  While the US is shuttling numerous dignitaries to Israel to dismiss the right of extending sovereignty over sovereign Israeli territory, they are ignoring the fruits of the current US ‘peace’ deal, which include current events such as this story below, which should not be permitted to continue for one more day.  Hamas has earned its extinction many times over.  It is time to end this terror organization and make the world a better, safer, and saner place in their absence, for the people of Gaza, and for those of us who didn’t vote Hamas into power 20yrs ago.

Peloni:  I am forever moved by the evidence which still exists to this day which demonstrates the inspiring connection between our past and the present as represented in such tiny pieces of clay as exemplified in this tax notice passed between the King of Judah and his contemporary nearly three millennia ago. Interestingly enough, these revelations demonstrate the contradiction in fake narratives as told by our enemies to debase our claim of ancestral connection to the land of our forefathers, but the grander import which I find among these ancient relics is our ability to gain a better understanding of our past and the frailties, follies, ingenuities and victories which led our people from three thousand years ago to this day.  Indeed, such understandings are the fundamental foundations upon which a society’s identity is understood, and notably, it is our identity which our enemies are targeting when they shade our history with their invented tales which prefer to gas light the well depicted record of our presence in the land of our forefathers.
