When the conflict was the Arab-Israeli wars between 1948 and 1967 it was too Middle Eastern a perspective for the West to dabble in corrective morality.

Summary:
Amb. Ettinger begins by drawing attention to the policy shift in the US following President Trump’s return to office with the targeted destruction of Hamas, decimation of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and the unveiling of the 20-point Middle East peace plan.
Ettinger reminds us that Iran’s Ayatollah regime remains the central source of regional instability, funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and other proxies. He calls for Israel and the U.S. to pursue regime change in Iran, not just fighting its proxies.

The Editorial Board of the New York Times recently declared that “Israel’s Gaza Media Ban Is Indefensible,” advocating that Israel allow all journalists, particularly Palestinians, unfettered access to witness IDF operations from the front lines.
The editorial notes that “all wars are dangerous to cover, but Gaza holds a place of its own among modern conflicts for the peril faced by journalists. Some 200 journalists have been among the estimated 63,000 people killed since the Gaza war began, an overwhelming majority killed by the Israeli military.”

Before reviewing the subsequent analyses, it must be noted that younger people in general usually have a more naive, idealistic outlook upon how things should be—without considering the special events/circumstances which throw wrenches into actual situations which emerge.
I, too, was one of those youths, a little later became a member of the London based Anti-Slavery Society, joined numerous wildlife, humane, and conservation organizations, etc. and so forth.
Peloni: The Left continues to push this fusion Marxist Islamist candidate into the seat of power in the largest city in America, while overseeing the largest community of Jews in America. The reason that this is even a possibilty is due tot the fact that America was betrayed at the highest level of power while American and NYC were flooded with non-Americans with values, views and objectives which were entirely not of America. This contest in NYC stands as a contest demonstrating if this betrayal will succeed in bearing significant fruit. Certainly, Mamdani believes his position in this race was bulletproof, as he openly cavorted with terror supporters, who actually supported terror in the very city he is running for mayor. Hence, we will soon see if Mamdani’s confidence was warranted or if it was a bridge too far taken, which rallied the pluck and independence of the common New Yorkers against such demonstrations of insanity, but my own suspicion is that Mamdani will soon be defeated. Below are a half dozen reports which explain the basis of my beliefs, such as they are.
Mamdani Losing With Every Religious Group Except Muslims
Mayor who doesn’t recognize Israel as Jewish state ‘a problem’ for NYC Jews
Peloni: Mark Levin provides an important recognition that the choice of supporting antisemites is to support of Evil. The path to the future can be based on supporting Judaeo-Christian values, or it can go the way of the Democratic Party. For some, this is a difficult choice, but Mark reminds us that it a choice which is intended to attack America itself, because Judaeo-Christian values are American values, because the path to America’s recovery is to embrace American values, not to shun them as was the path which the Democrats took with the embrace of Obama’s anti-American screed.
There is no immunity for the American Right for embracing evil in the Republican party anymore than there was for the American Left when the Democratic party did the same. So this leaves us with the reality that first, the Republicans have an important test of character before it with its embrace or rejection of the antisemitism which is now openly being injected into the Republican party by the likes of Carlson and Fuentes, which is in turn being supported by the likes of the Heritage Foundation’s president. Following this, Americans will have a choice as to whether they will follow the Republican party if it chooses the path of darkness which they rejected in the Democratic party. As is always my view, my bet and support lies with the American people, who consistently chosen to rise towards liberty rather than to be seduced into supporting tyranny and oppression. This is why there is no Pres. Harris today, it is why the MAGA movement is the most successful political movement in American history, and it is why I believe that America’s future will be brighter than it is today as it rejects these tests of insanity on the Right as they rejected them on the Left.

In the 2nd Nov 25 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:
Peloni: Must Read Article. The one thing which I would argue that Moshe Cohen-Eliya does not address in his insightful Tablet article, in which he describes the Israeli Deep State as being worse than the American Deep State, is that the Israeli Deep State subrogates its own manipulated will to that of the American Deep State. Indeed, the American Deep State’s lack of sovereignty in its democratically elected institutions and officials is due to the power, control and influence of an elitist power struggle within the US, yet, in Israel, its own respective Deep State, whose lack of sovereignty has fallen further into an institutional collapse which is altogether singularly arbitrary and characterized by its rogue judiciary, there remains an undue influence upon the Israeli Deep State which is due to its relationship (read as dependency) upon the interests and influence of the American Deep State.
So while the world is fixated upon the dishonest interpretation that the world is run by the Jews and Israel, the real truth lies in the telling that the world is run by the Americans, even if the American Deep State is the real source of power in America, something which can not be recognized as being altogether true of the Israeli Deep State in Israel, which is answerable to, and deferential to, the interests and influences of the primacy of the American Deep State.
For left-wing elites in Jerusalem and Washington, ‘saving democracy’ means rule by a rogue judiciary and intelligence services

Peloni: Every aspect of Sharia law depict itself as being other than consistent with the legal precepts of the West, particularly as Sharia is fashioned towards the capture of the West thru the process of defeating Western values, thus carving the apple from the inside out, as it were. It is entirely within the ability of the West to act proactively to assert Western democratic principles as being the law of the land, unfortunately, however, the West is simultaneously being overwhelmed in a layered battle with corruption and decay, resulting in a process of self recrimination which lends itself towards surrendering to the will of Jihadists rather than defeating them, even as it should be clearly understood that defeating the Jihadists is within the capacity and the interest of the West.

Sharia Law is an ideology of conquest and enforced submission, not a religion, and it should be banned here. Here is a speech by a Senator who “gets” it.
Peloni: Update: See Trump latest tweet threatening severe strike in Nigeria in defense of Christians.

Christians are being massacred, and their women kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted daily in Nigeria. This year, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinians in Gaza. And yet, not a single protest for them!

*The June 13-20, 2025 Israeli Air Force offensive against Iran devastated Iran’s ballistic capabilities, which are Chinese, Russian and North Korean-based. Israel also destroyed much of Iran’s Air Force and neutralized Iran’s Russia and China-based air defenses, paving the road to the June 21 US bombing of Iran’s 3 major nuclear facilities, unimpeded by Iran’s Air Force and air defenses.

HUGE NEWS!!!
Israel’s deep state !!
It’s hard to believe that while fighting a brutal two-year war against barbaric terrorists, our holy, brave IDF fighters have also had to battle a second enemy, a betrayal from within, orchestrated by Israel’s own deep state.

Peloni: Replacing critical thinking with dogmatic beliefs represents the implosion of Western society, as it the undoing of a major basis upon which West was built.
This is a new quasi-religion, quasi-syndrome that demands voluntary human sacrifices in the name of ‘universal progress and justice’. Don’t fall for it. Beware.

Cicero, fortunately for himself, was not familiar with the concept of Identity Politics, Critical Race Theory, Institutional Racism, Intersectionality, “White Privilege/ Male Privilege”, otherwise he would certainly have changed his mind.

What I am alluding to in my title is the entire situation with regard to Gaza. It is difficult to wrap one’s head around what is happening both because the situation is so fluid, and because various reports contradict each other.
A significant case in point was the front page of the Jerusalem Post on Sunday morning.

Iran’s announcement to the world that it will no longer respect any laws, treaties, or limits on its nuclear program is, in essence, a declaration of war. The regime has always wanted nuclear weapons. The West must tighten sanctions, monitor every step of Iran’s program, and maintain credible military options.

Iran’s regime has officially declared that it will not abide by any nuclear limits. It is finally admitting out in the open that its ultimate objective has always been to become a nuclear-armed state.

Erin Molan is an Aussie who’s not afraid to call it as she sees it, and thus ticked off her Australian employer a while back, especially regarding not accepting the anti-Israel bias she frequently encountered.
When you listen to the videos featuring Erin, VP JD Vance, and Israel near the end of this analysis, among other things, you’ll note Vance is best buddies with the blatant antisemite who gets upset when called out on this, Tucker Carlson, and decides to discuss the theological differences between Jews and Christians during one the major programs happening in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The primary goal of pro-Palestinian protestors is vilification of Israel rather than support of Palestinian Arabs, as is suggested by these activists’ silence when Palestinians are murdered by other Arabs, most recently Hamas’ executions of opposing Gazans. Indeed, their limited perspective lacks focus on other contemporary ethnic conflicts such as Arabs attacking Africans in Sudan and Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The most apparent explanation for the anti-Israel monomania on campuses, in the United Nations, and elsewhere is that Israel’s direct opposition consists of populous, politically active, and oil-supported Muslims.
