I recently came across a great analysis regarding Iran’s non-stop nastiness by a mutual friend of the President of the Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria, Dr. Sherko Abbas, and myself, Joseph Puder…

1. Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles (evening of October 6 – October 13, 2025) derives its name from the first stop of the Exodus – the town of Sukkot – as documented in Exodus13:20-22 and Numbers 33:3-5. Sukkot was also the name of Jacob’s first stop west of the Jordan River, upon returning to the Land of Israel from his 20 years of work for Laban in Aram (Genesis 33:17).
Peloni: If the Jews controlled Congress, the Dems wouldn’t be embracing the Islamists, and the Reps would be shunning Carlson like the plague. Unfortunately, the forces that do control the US Congress prefer to portray these antisemitic themes as being benign or necessary to the Congressional members, hardly something which benefits the Jews. As always, logic and intelligence has to be stifled to support these antisemitic choices, which seems to not prevent Gaetz from contributing to the keeping the flame of antisemitism burning.
Janet Levy: Where are the videos about the much larger and more influential lobbies?
It’s ONLY the Joos!
What about the Qatari and Saudi lobbies? Where is the discussion about the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC)? Every country and interest has a lobby.
Peloni: Pierre Rehov’s most recent documentary, this time detailing the Palestinian Authority’s terror funding scheme which is still ongoing. Nearly 20% of every dollar, frank, pound or deutsche mark is used to pay for the butchery of dead Jews. Grasp the import corollary of this fact. This means that the entire Western world has been fortifying and subsidizing the butchery of Jews, as their forefathers did during the Middle Ages. Despite this fact, time and time again, when the purposefully ever evasive ‘peace’ process was restarted, it was this organization, an organization which had become an American equity in the region, that was chosen to be partnered with Israel. This was true even under Trump’s initial Deal of the Century. Moral depravity in the extreme. The time to end the PA is long past. This terror army subsidized by the world needs to be disbanded, defunded and its members need a just penalty for their genocidal crimes against the Jewish people.
In 1976, Yonatan Netanyahu was killed in the otherwise spectacular success of the rescue at Entebbe, after which his brother Benyamin abandoned a budding career in business for spokesman for a war with “terrorism,” if not homicidal Muslim Jew-hatred which has always been the subterranean root of the fake “Palestinian war of national liberation.”
He was so successful, the Israeli government appointed him in 1984 ambassador to the United Nations, where he became even more successful via television interviews.
Peloni: Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Demanding that we Jews have no right to the state of Israel, or that the lands guaranteed to us under international agreements certified by the League of Nations and the UN is antisemitism at its most extreme, as it denies Jews as having rights equivalent to any other group of people or nation, simply because we are Jews. Grasping such a reality as being unacceptable under any circumstance is the path upon which antisemitism can be defeated, while ignoring it will only substantiate antisemitism as being legitimate in the eyes of many.
“There can be no such thing as virtuous antisemitism masquerading as virtuous anti-Zionism.”
Peloni: A ceasefire has been forced on Israel while terms are being negotiated. This is a clear departure of what was previously stated that Israel’s attacks would continue til an agreement had been met. Capitulating to Hamas demands sets the stage for a failure at gaining the terms needed to end the war, unless that too has been modified. Meanwhile Hamas’ capabilities have yet to be neutralized as is clear from the recent rockets launched in the past weeks. What is more, Israel is now ceding conquered lands to affect a ceasefire, yet again, all while an agreement is still being discussed. Granting concessions to the barbarians is how October 7 came about. Instead of this, full force should be brought to bear on Hamas strongholds, and as Hamas demands concessions, ever greater force should be applied. We will see what success will come from these worrisome concessions, but the simple reality is that unconditional surrender is what is needed, and Hamas’ answer is to demand concessions. The answer to this demand of concessions should have been a resounding ‘no’, but was instead once again a celebratory ‘yes’.
Netanyahu says Trump deal is a result of ‘intense military and diplomatic pressure’ on Hamas

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday night that Israel had agreed to the initial withdrawal line in the Gaza Strip which he had proposed.
Peloni: This current British govt has no right to desecrate the memorial of the attack on the Manchester synagogue after having secured the political environment which caused that attack to take place. Advocating for terrorists as they are still torturing innocent civilians, holding back arms which are vital to defeating those terrorists, all while selectively allowing only the pro terror parades of violence to proceed in Britain, these are the legacy which promoted Jew Hatred in Britain. So the crowd was quite accurate when charging that Lamy has blood on his hands, and it was quite contemptible for him to try to hide his shame behind calls for solidarity against wave of terror which his govt has secured for British Jews.
Peloni: A discussion with Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, regarding the Samaria ridge, its ownership by Israel, and its vital strategic importance in defending Israel
Peloni: Rair Foundation reported the death of Sam Solomon, the foremost Islam scholar who spent his life warning the West of about the threat being deployed in a quiet Jihad, and the tools which are being used to succeed in the conquest and subjugation the Western world. In 2009, Janet Levy wrote on the works and warning of Sam Solomon, and that article follows below Janet’s comment on hearing of Solomon’s death.
Janet Levy: A tragic loss of an inestimable scholar, a professor of sharia law and Christian convert, who taught us all Islamic doctrine with unmatched erudition at great risk to his life.

Peloni: FBI ends association with ADL and now the SPLC. This is an important and necessary step in reforming the FBI. Whereas some see the break with the ADL as expanding a rift with the American Jewish community and America’s federal police force, it should be emphasized that the ADL serves the interests of the radical Islamist centered Democratic party first while leaving the interests of the American Jewish community as a distant afterthought. The same is true of the SPLC regarding minority rights. Before problems can be solved, they must first be recognized as problematic, and such an attempt at soul searching has ever evaded both the ADL and SPLC as they remain focused on their masters in the Democratic Party.
Peloni: Crime is always a destablizing factor in society, but the presence of exploding crime in along sectarian lines. It is only made more necessary that this be addressed in the current wartime environment, when Iran is actively employing Israeli citizens towards espionage.
Fares Abu Fani was shot to death last week in Kafr Qara in northern Israel. The 29-year-old was the 187th Israeli Arab to die from violent crime this year.
Peloni: The timing of Dermer’s resignation is incredibly significant as the Trump 20 Point plan was only recently announced before the announcement of his departure and only shortly after this announcement, that plan is being to be implemented. Recalling that Dermer is Netanyahu’s closest advisor, and has been involved in the hostage negotiations for about eight months now. Is this meant to grant him a claim of disassociation with the Trump plan? It is somewhat reminiscent of Netanyahu’s departure of the Sharon govt as the great Eviction of 2005 took place.
Peloni: Trump has announced that his 20 Point Plan is indeed just part of a wider regional plan which will implement peace in the Middle East. So we don’t know what the full picture of the Day After will involve, but as stated Israel is giving up sovereignty and occupying Gaza, allowing an international ‘reforming’ surrogate to lead reforms which will include a ‘reformed’ PA, returning aid dispersement to the control of the UN/Red Crescent, and the possibility of Palestinian statehood discussion far in the future. Is this what victory looks like? Well, perhaps the wider regional peace plan will provide a greater context for what is taking place… or perhaps it will all fall apart after the hostages are released.
