Tucker Carlson Blows Jew Hatred Dog Whistle at Kirk Memorial  

Peloni:  This shameful act would have been outrageous in any venue, but for the Charlie Kirk memorial to be used to this purpose was exceptionally so.

President Trump’s Lonely and Courageous Stance Regarding the Creation of a 22nd State For Arabism  At This Time…  

by Gerald A. Honigman

President Trump, ignoring most Arabs’s and other Islamists’s sycophantic useful idiots, recently took a lonely, courageous stance regarding the creation of yet another state rewarding Arab terror, Arabism’s 22nd so far, and SECOND, not first, in the original 1920 of Palestine, after Jordan was created via lopping off almost 80% of the total area in 1922…

The Alliances Reshaping the Region: From 1967 to the Doha Strikes  

Peloni:  This is an important article.  Khaled Hasan, Egyptian-British national security and foreign policy researcher, presents the fallout following the recent Doha strike as being a series of alliance systems poised against Israel.

Khaled Hassan | The Grand Strategy | Sep 21, 2025

The Alliances Reshaping the Region: from 1967 to the Doha Strikes

In a private conversation with Jewish leaders, and in public, I compared Israel’s triumph in 1967 over a coalition of Arab states including Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, with support from other Arab countries like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, with its recent strikes against Hamas leaders in Doha.

This comparison was deliberate in ways I have and haven’t explained. The pros, which I explained publicly, are clear: deterrence is back on the menu. Like the 1967 triumph, the Doha strikes showed the world and Israel’s adversaries that Israel means business and that its enemies aren’t far from its reach. And, much like in 1967, Israel surprised its adversaries with its capabilities.

A visit to King David’s first capital: Hebron  

Peloni:  The Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs remains as one of the most important and inspiring connections to our past.

Michal and I again ventured into Judea and Samaria, this time to visit the Jewish heritage site dating all the way back to Abraham’s entrance to the Land of Israel: the Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs (Machpelah) in Hebron. Our tour was sponsored by one of several pro-Zionist NGOs that we support. Im Tirtzu is the largest Zionist movement in Israel. Its mission is to strengthen and promote the values of Zionism in Israeli society and the renewal of Zionist discourse, thought and ideology in Israeli society. Im Tirtzu emphasizes training future generations for national leadership and support of Zionism. (https://imti.org.il/en/)

Carney Rewards Hamas with Recognition of Palestinian Statehood  

Peloni:  Ezra Levant discusses the calumny committed by Carney, even as he falsely claims Canada recognizes a Arab Palestinian State after this measure was defeated in the Canadian parliament last year.  What is more, Ezra explores Carney’s duplicity after having claimed that he would only provide recognition after the preconditions of the imagined Arab Palestinian state being demilitarized, that Hamas would have no role in the state, and that the hostages be released.  What Ezra fails to address is the fact that there already exists an Arab Palestinian state in Jordan, making Carney’s imagined recognition that of a second Arab Palestinian state, making this bit of pro-Hamas propaganda being mouthed by Carney all the more absurd.  In fact, the real substantive question which remains large in the wake of all this is why, amid all the calls for recognition of a Palestinian state both today and for decades past, Jordan is never recalled as being the Palestinian state, albeit one which is ruled by an Arabian dissident whose only right to rule extends from his forefathers having been chose to act as the local British colonial satrap to rule over the local population, and to this point, king Abdullah has helped weaponize his people against Israel in defiance of the treaty which exists between these two nations.  While raising this point might appear as a digression from Ezra’s analysis of Carney’s absurd recognition of a Palestinian state, it is not only entirely relevant, but essentially material to this discussion.  Indeed, it is this very subject which needs to be called to mind at this moment by those who are disposed to distinguish fact from fantasy, as is both Ezra’s nature and his intent here.  Jordan is the Arab Palestinian state which has been demanded for so long, even as this fact evades every conversation on this topic.

‘Failure of Political, Moral, and Diplomatic Leadership’: UK, Canada, Australia Recognize Palestinian State  

FDD | Sept 21, 2025

Latest Developments

  • Seeking to Revive Two-State Solution: The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia announced the formal recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in the coming week. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the decision was meant “to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution,” caveating the recognition by claiming that Hamas can have no future role in a Palestinian government. In his announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Israel of “working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established.” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the recognition “reflects Australia’s longstanding commitment to a two-state solution, which has always been the only path to enduring peace and security for the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples.”

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem  

Peloni:  Daniel Greenfield wrote this excellent piece for Jerusalem Day back in 2017, but it touches on subjects which are presently just as poignant, if not more so, today as it was eight years ago.

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem, drove out its Jewish population and illegally annexed the city– the only entity to recognize the annexation was the United Kingdom which had provided the mercenary officers and the training that made the conquest possible. Officers like Colonel Bill Newman, Major Geoffrey Lockett and Major Bob Slade, under Glubb Pasha, better known as General John Bagot Glubb, whose son later converted to Islam, invaded Jerusalem and used the Muslim gangs under their command to make the partition and occupation of Jerusalem possible.

King Abdullah’s silence: Quiet consumes growing radicalization in Jordan – editorial  

Peloni:  The piercing quiet along the Jordanian border refers to the current king’s silence amid the assault on Israel which was carried out by a Jordanian national who was expected to have been screened by the Jordanian military.  As noted in the JPOST article, the breach of security between these two nations, even amid the cold peace, requires a certain response from the ruling monarch, and his choice to respond with silence portends only the most recent evidence of the king’s defiance of the peace which lies between Israel and and the nation which was carved out as the Arab Palestinian state over a century ago.  While Abdullah I betrayed his commitment to the Jews last century during the 1948 War in conquering Judea and Samaria, his grandson, Abdullah II, has regularly betrayed his commitment to the peace treaty struck in 1994, with incitement to terror, advocacy for trade embargoes, and the transfer of weapons and gold to terrorists inside Israel.  The Jordan Option would provide an important change in Jordan, one which would help stabilize the region, and one whereby such actions as led to the recent murder of two Israelis would have a meaningful and pronounced response rather than the silence which now emanates from the king’s palace.

King Hussein understood that preserving peace required a proactive approach rather than passive silence when that peace was threatened – his son must learn the same.

A Desperate Hezbollah Calls on Saudi Arabia to End Its Enmity  

Peloni:  How far the mighty Hezbollah has strayed to be calling Saudi Arabia for a lifeline.  Indeed, their desperation is perhaps as obvious today as their vulnerability was demonstrated a year ago when their pagers, cell phones and lamps all rang “Boom”.  While Hezbollah remains an important threat which still requires its neutralization, it has failed to demonstrate the competency to merit the reputation which it previously held.  The fact that they are today calling for support from a former mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia of all nations, demonstrates their own recognition that they lack the capabilities to easily survive what they are facing.  To be clear, unlike Fitzgerald, while I still have no confidence in the American initiative to have the Hezbollah dependent LAF subdue their Hezbollah masters, Hezbollah will be made to part with their arms one way or another.

By

Hezbollah has been battered by Israel militarily over the last year. Its top leaders — Hassan Nasrallah and his successor, Hashem Safiedinne — have both been assassinated by Israel. The IDF has managed through airstrikes to destroy between 80% and 90% of the 150,000 rockets and missiles that Hezbollah held in its arsenal. Mossad’s “exploding pagers” caper led to nearly 4,000 Hezbollah members being seriously wounded, in most cases so severely as not to be able to resume their roles as combatants. And in Lebanon itself, both President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam are determined to pressure Hezbollah to give up its weapons, so that the Lebanese National Army will be the only armed force in the country.
