TRUMP DEMANDS ELECTIONS IN UKRAINE — ZELENSKY RESPONDS WITH CONDITIONS & NO TERRITORIAL CONCESSIONS!  

Peloni:  The first 4mins of this Ukrainian news video provides an fair estimate of recent events including Trump’s renewed call for Zelensky to finally face election, and Zelensky calling for US security assurances.  What is interesting in the conversation which follows from the talking heads is that they appear to be afraid of nothing so much as new elections, claiming that it will provide Russia the opportunity to install a “fifth column” govt.  The pro-war faction in Ukraine does indeed have much to be concerned about, but with Ukraine being Ukraine, well, elections should be expected to be highly influenced by those who count the votes.

Trump’s Policy on Israel   

Peloni:  See also dubbed video at the bottom which was originally aired one month after the article linked by Janet below.

Janet Levy

Dr. Francisco Gil-White’s partial list (all citations are available at his Substack):

  1. – He stopped Israel in Gaza before even taking office, forcing the ceasefire that Biden wanted, and protected Hamas;
  2. – He wants Israel out of Lebanon pronto, thus protecting Hezbollah;
  3. – He’s said about the Qataris—Hamas’s patrons—that “We had a great relationship during my [first-term] years in the White House, and it will be even stronger this time around!”, a claim supported by Trump’s up-and-coming golf course in Qatar and his new, ‘palace in the sky’ Air Force One jet that he’ll be flying in—a gift from the Qataris (more on Qatar here);

J STREET’S “MORAL STAIN” IS …  

Peloni:  A moral stain is what is formed from the use by J Street and other leftist organizations of the pejorative term ‘West Bank’ to inaccurately describe the ancient Jewish lands of Judea and Samaria as being legally and legitimately connected to any nation other than Israel.  The British Jordanian forces known as the Arab Legion stole these lands without the slightest basis upon which to claim legitimacy, and have now relinquished any claim of lands West of the Jordan River as their own.  There is no West Bank.  There is only Israel, and only a resistance to recognize the

In its latest fundraising email, J Street denounces “the West Bank settlement movement” as “a moral stain on the Jewish people and a threat to Israel’s future.”

Israel’s Proxy Plan in Gaza Just Took a Hit  

Peloni:  Aynaz provides an important overview of the Israeli plan to offshore its responsibilities in Gaza in an effort to ignore realities.  Peaceful outcomes are impossible to find at the end of paths which fail to eliminate Iranian/Qatari/Turkish threats.   Hamas must be removed root, stem and leaf before any credible replacement might be credibly fashioned, and the failure to do so will only serve to turn the clock back to October 6, as the grass mowing begins anew.  Eliminating security threats of an existential nature can not be considered to be optional, they can not be left for others to eliminate, and they can not be allowed to strengthen and grow.

When a Band-Aid solution becomes the strategy

Yasser Al Shabab. Screengrab via YoutubeYasser Al Shabab. Screengrab via Youtube

In August, I warned what would happen if Israel continued relying on shortcuts in Gaza, tribal intermediaries, warlord placeholders, and improvised “local governance” models that pretended Hamas was negotiable. At the time, Yasser Abu Shabab was being introduced as the newest alternative: a tribal militia leader, recently escaped from prison, suddenly elevated as the man who might help fill the imagined vacuum that Israel and Washington pretended would be created in Gaza after Hamas leaves. I described him as a Band-Aid on a wound no one wanted to clean. His death has now confirmed that warning.

Qatar’s Influence Exposed  

Peloni:  This report is very disturbing.  Are Republicans actually planning to win in November, or are they simply doing everything possible to put the Dems back in power?  The corruption in Washington is not getting better.  Foreign influence contrary to US interests is worsening.  There has been no accountability for crimes committed against the American people.  What appears more and more to be a charade with Muslim Brotherhood influence in the US is just one aspect of this.  These stark realities will come to have a political cost in the next 11 months.

“WE ARE BEING EXTERMINATED”: The Real Genocide, Religious Minorities Slaughtered in Syria  

Peloni:  Also see:  Sheikh Muwaffaq Tarif, spiritual leader of the Druze community, has gone to Geneva, seeking high level meetings with UN officials to describe “the war crimes, ethnic-cleansing attempts, and the horrific crimes committed against Druze women in Sweida, calling on the UN to take a firm stand and act immediately” taking place in Jabal al-Druze and Sweida since July.

The silence is deafening as Christians, Alawites, and Druze are hunted for their faith — met with near-total silence from the media, the United Nations, and global leaders. Instead, their rabid and singular obsession remains the dehumanization and elimination of the nation of the Jewish people.

From Israel: Illusions That Pass As Policy!  

Arlene Kushner | December 9, 2025

Evan Vucci/AP

When last I wrote, I addressed Trump’s penchant for simplifying the situation in the Middle East in order to conform to his vision of how matters should be proceeding. “Should be” because he wants to be hailed as a peacemaker, and because he hopes for stability (which might look like peace but is not) so that he can focus elsewhere. Eager to see speedy resolution of an exceedingly complex situation, he tends to paint a picture that is illusory.

Alma Dishikra. That’s Aramaic for a “World of Lies”  

by Sha’i ben-Tekoa

NGO Monitor recently released a study of the infiltration by HAMAS into that swarm of NGOs inside Gaza ostensibly concerned for the humanitarian welfare of the “Palestinian refugees.”

Working for HAMAS were employees of Oxfam and Medical Aid for Palestinians. The director in Gaza of Catholic Relief Services was affiliated with the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), founded by the fiendish Greek Orthodox convert to Communism Dr. George Habash, infamous for his numerous skyjacking and bombing of commercial airliners.

Mark Levin: Immigration, Islamization and the Economy  

Peloni

In his opening segment, Mark addresses immigration and Islamism.  Noting that immigration is meant to primarily advantage the American people rather than the immigrating population, Mark also reminds us that the American people have a duty to maintain and strengthen and protect American culture and society, and that there is no obligation to support any immigration policy which strays from this obligation.

Sinking NATO: The Implications of All Out Support for Zelensky’s Hard Line  

Peloni:  As Europe moves further from the US with a reckless lack of awareness of their own capabilities or Trump’s patience(see below), the US Congress demonstrates a continued commitment to the keeping the graft going in Ukraine even in the continued light of US dollars being siphoned for Zelensky’s govt members as the Ukrainian war effort continues to falter.  For more on this see Swamp Moves To Hand $400 Million To Ukraine As Zelenskyy Gov’t Faces Corruption Scandal”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited London on Monday, December 8 where he met with Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Emmanuel Macron, President of France and Friedrich Merz, Chancellor of Germany. Two things happened: Zelensky made it clear (and expanded on the subject on his way to Brussels after the meeting) that Ukraine would not cede any territory to Russia. At the same time, the three leaders strongly supported using seized Russian assets ($245 billion) to fund Ukraine’s war. Keir Starmer claimed that in the meeting with Zelensky they “discussed positive progress made to use immobilized Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s reconstruction.” Actually, there is strong opposition in Europe to the use of Russia’s assets, led by Belgium, Italy, Hungary and Slovakia, with serious doubts expressed in France and Germany (despite seemingly acceding to Starmer). The US also is strongly opposed.

From Israel: Balancing Pain, Fury and Great Hope!!  

Arlene Kushner | December 4, 2025

That is our task.

The information in my very last posting, which showcases many of Israel’s strengths – strengths found in our extraordinary people – gives us immeasurable hope.

In that posting, I provided a link to the video of the amazing Ari Spitz, who lost his legs in battle and was dancing on his protheses; unfortunately, it was faulty. And so I provide another link for those who could not access this amazing scene:

Archaeologists uncover huge Hasmonean-era wall in Jerusalem as Hanukkah approaches  

Peloni:  The wonders of our ancient past are forever waiting the rediscovery by the modern descendants of our people.  I never fail to be awestruck by the power and excitement of such findings which are still available to us centuries and millennia later, many of which are re-discovered quite by happenstance.

The Tower of David Museum has undergone comprehensive renovation work and in the process, an astonishing archaeological discovery has been unearthed.

Idit Bar: Welcome to the kindergarten… Or a training camp?  

Peloni:  The weaponization of the children of Gaza and the PA goes on.  Indeed, as the costs of creating psychopaths are billed to the West, it is also supported by the UN agencies which masquerade a charade of concern for the young which is used to transform living children into functioning terrorists, whose only goal in life is rape, murder, mayhem and tragedy.  This is the very network of debauchery which led to the countless tragedies of October 7, but also to so many more which preceded that terrible event.  Hamas needs to be eliminated, the UN needs to lose all credibility and access to the tender lives which they are actively  and knowingly corrupting, and the West needs to be better attuned as to the purpose and effect of their poorly spent billions of dollars every year which foster the tragedies which they later bemoan as crimes against humanity.  If nothing changes, nothing will in fact change.

The UN war on Israel’s high ground  

Peloni:  Bravo Moshe!  The cities and towns in Judea and Samaria, and those in the Golan, are deserving of the support and recognition that they are cities and towns, built on Jewish lands whose connection stretches back over three millennia.  These are not occupied territories, and the cities are not settlements.  These pernicious pejoratives are vehicles of propaganda, no different than the false narrative created by the routine use of the baseless term “West Bank”.  While we should have no expectation that the Arabs, even the most moderate of them, would have strength and character enough to admit the truth of these matters, we should have every expectation that the leader of the WJC would be able to not only admit these truths, but to herald them before the world, especially as he has held this post for nearly two decades.

American Jewish leaders must come to understand that to critics of Israel, there is no difference between “settlements” in Judea and Samaria and “settlements” on the Golan.

The bureaucratic diplomats at the United Nations again demonstrated their addiction to attacking Israel’s best interests with a vote on Dec. 2 about the Golan. In a resolution sponsored by Egypt, 123 nations voted for Syrian control over the Golan Heights and for Israel to return to the June 4, 1967 lines.

Hamas at America’s Doorstep: The Terror Network Now Threatening the Western Hemisphere  

Peloni: Must read article

Janet Levy:

  • The Oct. 7 massacre exposed an international jihadist network that threatens Western security. European law enforcement has been uncovering a disturbing reality: Hamas spent years building a transnational terror infrastructure that extends from Copenhagen to Venezuela, positioning the organization as a global threat that Western governments can no longer afford to dismiss.
  • Hamas operatives had established weapons caches across multiple European countries years before Oct. 7, including small arms stashed in Poland, Bulgaria, Germany, and Denmark – part of deliberate planning for potential attacks in Europe. Hamas has never successfully executed a terrorist attack outside Israel, the West Bank, or Gaza, but as its capabilities in Gaza face decimation, European and Israeli officials increasingly fear that Hamas will go global.

US Pressuring Israel to Surrender Security Concerns to Egypt  

Peloni:  The scandalous demands being made of Israel as reported here by International Security Expert, Khaled Hassan, are intolerable and must be refused as unacceptable.  Is the only interests of the Americans in this gambit to move things along no matter the consequences?  Is there truly to be no accountability under this American fiasco billed as a peace plan even at the outset of what has been sold as ‘Peace in Our Time’?  Netanyahu must resist these demands, at all costs.  Failing to do so will set the future security arrangements up0n an even more perilous path if he fails to do so.

Netanyahu to Discuss Phase 2 of Gaza Ceasefire With Trump, Key Issues Still To Be Negotiated  

FDD | Dec 8, 2025

Latest Developments

  • Prime Minister Says Second Phase Warrants Caution: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump later this month to discuss the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire. Netanyahu asserted that it was critical for Hamas to uphold the ceasefire and follow through on “their commitment” to Trump’s 20-point truce, which requires the full disarmament of the terrorist organization as well as the demilitarization of Gaza. The Israeli prime minister also stressed the importance of clarifying the role of the proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza. “What will be the timeline? What are the forces that are coming in? Will we have international forces? If not, what are the alternatives? These are all topics that are being discussed,” Netanyahu said.
