Deborah Lipstadt is Right …about Mississippi & Intifadas  

Peloni:  The overlap between Left and Right is centered around the weaponization and promotion of Jew Hatred.  To this end they each enact alliances with the Islamists, alliances which we must identify and confront regardless of the political affiliations.  Notably, in the globalization of the war on the Jews which erupted alongside the October 7 Massacre, the dominance of attacks against the world’s Jewry has been sourced to the far-Left and their Islamist allies, but there is no reason to think that the far Right will not come to play a role in this latest war against the Jews, as appears to be evident in the attack on the historic Synagogue in Mississippi.

Soon after last week’s attack on a synagogue in Mississippi, Prof. Deborah Lipstadt, the former U.S. envoy for combating antisemitism, suggested there might be a link between the arson and the “Globalize the Intifada” campaign mounted by Hamas supporters around the world.

Why Were You Silent  

Peloni: Consider the reality that, as you listen to Hillel Neuer’s polemic against the silence supporting the Mullahs in Iran that the death tolls are rising with current reports of upto 20-40,000 dead Iranian protestors now being shared outside the deafening silence from the media, from the celebrities, and from the ‘peace’ activists.

  • For decades, Iranian leaders grew accustomed to Western caution, diplomatic hedging, and carefully measured statements designed to avoid escalation. They learned that repression at home would provoke criticism but rarely consequences. They learned that terrorism abroad would be condemned but tolerated. They learned that nuclear deception would lead to negotiations, not punishment.

Kfar Aza: The Day Terror Came Home | Part I  

Peloni:  Daniel Mael interviews two survivors from the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Kfar Aza, Gon Soussana and Rona Epstein.  In watching this, please note the reality that Rona addresses at the end in wanting to return home while acknowledging the impossibility of feeling safe doing so as long as Hamas continues to exist.  Yet this is what the very situation which the Kushner plan for Gaza entails.  I agree with Gon that the IDF is the people’s army, that the land must be defended and that the people must trust that this will be the case, but even acknowledging this, we must resist the American preference to preserve the October 7 savages in any way, much less to keep them armed, potentially becoming future security members or political leaders of the Day After fantasyland which is being unveiled in Gaza in place of any form of sanity, justice or security.  HAMAS MUST BE DESTROYED!  Trump once recognized this fact as true.  Whether he still does is not relevant to the fact that only the IDF can and will protect Israel, and Bibi must not compromise on this vital point of having fought the war these past two years..

The Moderation of Mansour Abbas and his Raam Party  

Peloni:  Mansour Abbas has sold himself as being a role model for the Arab community in Israel over the years, and yet a fair reading of many of his comments as well as the charter of his Ra’am party certainly provides a distinctly less favorable perspective on this Israeli Muslim Brotherhood affiliate.  There is an important context which must be grasped when dealing with the Arab community. History of the region lacks any form of agreement between the Arabs and their Jewish neighbors, leaving the understanding of a just outcome as being highly divergent between the two groups due to this fact.  Consequently, as Abbas’ Raam party and Abbas in particular have been granted an aura of ‘moderation’ as he speaks about peace and moderation in connection with his Arab neighbors, but the reality is that these words have a fundamentally different context for Abbas and his party than what these terms really mean.

Perhaps someday, the Arabs may come to have an honest appreciation of what the history of the region really is, but until  such an honest awakening takes root, people such as Abbas will use their endorsement of peace with the Jews to pursue ulterior objectives which are altogether misrepresented when publicly endorsing terms of moderation.  As elections are coming, and Abbas is currently calling for Jews to join his party(!), we must all be aware of the reality of what both Abbas and his party honestly represent and the moderation they portend for the Jews in the Jewish state.  Importantly, as Abbas once came to play the ‘moderate’ Arab kingmaker in forming the Bennett-Lapid led govt, he hopes to play a similar role in the coming months.  Perhaps this will be less possible with a fair understanding of the ‘moderation’ which Abbas has in mind as many on the Left like to describes himself to be.

From Israel: A Moral Imperative!!  

Peloni:  It is hard to hear the reports coming out of Iran, and indeed the videos which are emerging raise recollections of the scenes of animalistic butchery which took place on October 7.  Like Arlene, I am still convinced that the promised support for the Iranians is coming.  To think anything else honestly strikes me as being unthinkable.  When it does come, whatever form it takes, Trump’s response must be robust, and encompassing.  The butcher’s bill paid by the many thousands and tens of thousands of Iranian victims who answered Trump’s call to protest deserves nothing less.

Oh Boy…The REAL Reason They Want To Re-Build Gaza Is NOT what it seems!  

Peloni:  Israel alone has any true interest in the establishing peace in Gaza, yet Israel has seemingly no role in what is coming, as the Trump 20 Point Plan is morphing into another Two State Solution while ignoring every benchmark required in Trump’s Plan.  As if the only thing that mattered was that something, no matter how removed from the original deal, flawed as it was, might be said to have been put into practice.  Israel needs to retake Gaza and Gaza needs to establish free emigration for its inhabitants elsewhere, preferably to Jordan and Egypt.

Trump Says China Will ‘Eat Canada up Within a Year’  

Peloni:  See below video for Trump’s most recent Truth Social Posts on Canada moving to secure trade deal with China.  Carney has always been the plaything of the Chinese, meaning that he was always going to support them against Trump.  What a pity that Trump did not put his full support behind Poilievre in the last Canadian election rather than emphasizing his desire to annex Canada as the 51st state…  Curiously, the question arises as to whether this is where we are heading once again now that Trump has secured his needs in Greenland… Was his describing Carney as Gov. Carney more than a slipup in the tweet at the bottom?

Media Host STUNNED When Iranian WHISTLEBLOWER Says This on Live TV!  

Peloni:  The courage which brought this young woman and others to streets, to face down threats of beating, torture rape and murder, continues to be ignored by the Western press.  This, unlike the Astroturf pro Hamas protests, deserves to be publicized, shared widely, and supported by all means possible from abroad.  The victory of the Iranian people will be the victory of the West and the world, and their abandonment will only secure a tragedy for them and the continuation of an assault upon the West by the rogue terror regime in Tehran.  I hope Trump acts, and soon.

On The Way To An ‘Islamic NATO’? Turkey Advances Towards Membership In Saudi-Pakistan Defense Pact  

Peloni:  Was the US extension of blanket protections to Qatar and Saudi Arabia an attempt to offset their forming these type of alliances…

N. Mozes | MEMRI | Jan 21, 2025

In January 2026, there were multiple reports in international and regional media about advanced contacts in the matter of Turkey joining the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA) between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Similar to the NATO Treaty, the SMDA, signed September 17, 2025, includes an article stating that any attack on one of the parties is to be considered an attack on the other. This includes Pakistan’s provision of a nuclear umbrella for Saudi Arabia.[1]

This Is How the Deal Lets Hamas Keep Its Weapons and Stay in Power  

Peloni:  The shell game of integrating terrorist institutions into structures which are intended to bring peace is the Old Concepzia.  How many times will this same song and dance be rigged against Israel.  Indeed how many times will Israel accept its role as a pawn in its own destruction.  We no longer live in a world convinced that failed policies of October 6 were ever possibly real.  There are no partners in peace.  Not in the American terrorist equity of the PA and not in the Turkish and Qatari terrorist equity of Hamas.  It is an act of the greatest betrayal that anyone would promote such a parallel fantasy which brought about October 7, but that is what is being described by the utterly delusional and compromised ‘peace’ envoys who feel that their lack of independence with Qatar provides them greater clarity.

Why President Trump insists on Turkey’s involvement in Gaza: Paybacks … and oil  

Peloni:  Turkey and Qatar are stakeholders in terror who Trump has honored to become policy designers for the peace which follows the war which the Turkish/Qatari terrorist proxy Hamas began.  They are reaping the fruits of victory which should be denied to these masterminds of terror.  Instead, the influence of these Jihadist aligned regional baddies is being strengthened, very much to the detriment of Israel and any true interest in advancing peaceful cooperation between Israel and her neighbors.

Trump envoy presents Gaza reconstruction ‘master plan’ at Davos inauguration of US-led ‘Board of Peace’  

Peloni:  Such delusional, nonsesnical rhetoric is what has kept the conflict in Middle East increasingly growing since well before the US decided to take advantage of the conflict beginning back more than 5 decades ago.  The same Peace size peg being screwed into the same terror-laden sized hole.  The outcome will not be peace but war, even as the short term profits flow freely amid the punch drunk naivete which seems all too naive to be sincere.

New Gaza chief announces Rafah crossing will open next week, Israel doesn’t confirm

The United States presented new plans for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, as President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace (BoP) was inaugurated with a signing ceremony by representatives of most of its founding nations at the sidelines of the Davos World Economic Forum.

The “master plan” for a new Gaza was presented by White House advisor and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who noted, “If Hamas does not demilitarize, that will be what holds back Gaza and the people of Gaza from achieving their aspiration.”

Jews around the world were shocked by the October 7, 2023 sneak attack on Israel by Hamas, the treacherous Gazan terrorists who rule Gaza. Their goal was to wipe out the Jews residing in the communities adjacent to and nearby the border. Hamas hoped to invade further north into Israel well beyond the border area, but couldn’t. [Hamas attacked prematurely, spoiling the plan for a combined Arab onslaught on Israel which might have succeeded.]
