Only when our leaders, political, military and rabbinic, name the enemy honestly can Israel chart a path to victory.

Last week, Israel experienced its deadliest terror attack since Oct. 7, 2023. Six Jewish lives were stolen in cold blood, this time by two terrorists from near Ramallah, just a stone’s throw from the internationally acclaimed Cramim Hotel and Israel’s Channel 12 news studio in Neve Ilan.

Peloni:  The importance of being able to provide a high tech defensive layer at low costs can not be overstated.  Relevantly, this battlefield advantage will be one which Israel’s enemies and erstwhile allies will all be looking to both overcome and acquire.

Peloni:  Fascinating!

Here are two words that sound similar to the human ear but whose meanings are a universe apart.

Tekiah is the Hebrew word uttered in the synagogue to usher in the sound of the shofar – the ram’s horn – during the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah: the Jewish New Year.

Peloni:  Mati Shashani provides a more positive perspective regarding the position of the US vis a vis Qatar as displayed in the days following the Israeli strike on the Hamas leadership in Qatar.  Whereas Mati prefers to interpret Rubio’s actions as evidence that Qatar is not an ally, and only a mediator, Rubio’s boss, Pres. Trump described Qatar plainly as not only an ally, but a “great ally”, one which doesn’t receive enough credit for its actions which he suggests they do a better job of portraying to the world.  The irony in this is so great that it strikes of satire, in which the Qatari govt’s massive influence peddling and Al Jazeera media empire are not doing enough to convince the world that this world wide terror supporting regime should be seen to be an American ally rather than as an agent injecting Muslim Brotherhood theology into the heart of the West so as to destroy it from within.  The distinction between the appropriateness of the US alliance with Qatar and Qatar’s anti-American activities is both glaring and costly in more ways than can reasonably be quantified…which is why America’s romance with Qatar should be ended.  As Daniel Greenfield recently, and accurately, penned, “[America] should not be in Qatar. And Qatar should not be in America.”

Peloni:  The time it has taken to deport Khalil demonstrates the state of open siege which the US is facing from within its very borders by its very political/judicial structures which were erected to prevent such outrages as have been evidenced in this battle to deport Khalil.

By Pamela Geller – on September 18, 2025

An immigration judge has just ordered Mahmoud Khalil, who led the vicious antisemitic riots at Columbia University, be deported to Syria or Algeria. Mahmoud Khalil is a Syrian national who was part of a group that assaulted police officers, assaulted a Barnard staffer, and violently took over the library.

“The more I read and study Jewish history, the clearer it becomes that there is an Author and Planner, Who guides [the People of] Israel to its destiny.”

— Rabbi Berel Wein (October 1990)

Rabbi Berel Wein, a Chicago-born pulpit rabbi and rosh yeshivah, gained widespread recognition within the American Orthodox community for his landmark 1990 history, Triumph of Survival: The Story of the Jews in the Modern Era 1650-1990.

“With great genius, and to my great regret with considerable assistance from Jewish and Israeli elements from different worlds, worlds of campaigns, lobbyists, high-tech, security, financial advisors, people whispering in the ears of decision-makers, the Qataris managed to take control of strategic assets in the West, in Israel, in Africa and in South America,” Dr. Udi Levi says.

Udi Levi, former Economic Warfare & Financial Intelligence Division at the Mossad, who dealt with economic warfare against terrorism, spoke at the annual World Summit on Counter-Terrorism held at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism Policy (ICT) at Reichman University Wednesday. Levi addressed Qatar’s involvement in influence networks and funding organizations, calling for formulating a renewed Western strategy against the Gulf state.

Peloni:  This was an outcome which became evident in the early months of the war, and became even more publicly clear following Netanyahu having to tell Pres. Biden that Israel would fight with their fingernails if needed to win this war.  Well, today, Israel is not fighting with fingernails, but the controlled environment of Israel’s defenses which exists in outsourcing its defense industry oversees, even to an ally, still exists.  All nations have interests, and to the point that these interests overlap, alliances are formed.  Yet, as is evident in Trump’s declaration that Qatar is a great allly, and the UAE’s threat over Israel extending sovereignty to its heartlands within its own borders, a nation’s sovereignty must be understood to be tied to its degree of independence.   The shift of support or even toleration of Israel and Jews around the world following October 7, even among former allies and safehavens in the Diaspora, demonstrates the need of an independent Israel, capable of making the choices needed to carryout its raison d’tre of choosing the fate of its own people.

*Iran was generally neutral-to-friendly toward the US until the 1951 rise to power of the pro-Soviet Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, who demoted the pro-US Shah to a marginalized ceremonial monarch. During the period 1953-1978, following the dismissal of Mosaddegh, and the restoration of the executive power of the Shah, Iran functioned as one of the US’ most trusted Cold War allies, a Major Non-NATO Ally of the US and “the American Policeman of the Gulf.” This strategic honeymoon was terminated by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which transformed Iran into a clear and present threat to the US, the chief global epicenter of civil wars, anti-US terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, with a multitude of terror sleeper cells on US soil.
