Peloni: Amb. Yoram Ettinger provides explanation of US reliance upon Israel, more so, with fare more success, than any other of America’s world allies, for its intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, homeland security, testing & development of military technology, as well as its strategic positioning within the Middle East. He also explains that recognition of a New Palestinian Arab State would undermine US national security interests.

Peloni: So long as the hostages are to be treated like a priceless asset, Hamas will move to increase the number of hostages it holds. This is bad news for the IDF forces on the front lines as well as in outposts inside Gaza. As Israel has been anxious to pay such steep prices for the hostages, it has made the revival of Jew Hunting profitable beyond imagining. This was always an unfortunate but predictable outcome to the ‘negotiations’ at almost any price for even a small number of hostages.
Peloni: The US needs to pivot to Asia, and in this mode, it is trying to force some oversized square pegs into round holes. Nowhere is this process of pretending solutions more evident today than with the efforts of Tom Barrack, with his imaginary claim that the Lebanon problem has been solved with nothing more relevant or significant than a bit of braggadocio by Lebanon’s govt.

US Ambassador to Turkey and Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack is creating a mess in the Middle East, seemingly unaware of the repercussions. Working with the Lebanese government, he crafted a five-page plan outlining steps for Lebanon to disarm the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah and reciprocal actions for Israel. The fatal flaw? Barrack failed to consult Israel before committing it to this Lebanese-American proposal, expecting the Jewish state to adhere to a plan it never reviewed. This, Barrack believes, is diplomacy. It is not.

One major change in Israel since October 7, 2023 is that sovereignty has become a respectable policy. No sober Israeli Jew, Druze, Christian can any longer promote the insane idea of turning Judea and Samaria over to the “Palestinians.”
But if not, who should be sovereign there? Who will be the law in what antisemites call the “West Bank”?

HERE’S HOW JORDAN’S “QUEEN” RANIA IS DESPERATELY PUSHING TO MAKE HER SON KING BY INCITING AGAINST ISRAEL AND FUELING DIVISION BETWEEN JORDANIANS AND PALESTINIANS… YET ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE REAL COMMON ENEMY OF BOTH PALESTINIANS AND JORDANIANS IS THE HASHEMITE REGIME, NOT ISRAEL….

Peloni: Megyn Kelly’s description of the routine Israel Lobby nonsense easily fails to impress. Where is her commentary on the Qatari lobby, the Saudi Lobby or the UAE lobby, all of which outdistance the Israel lobby. Indeed, rather than criticizing AIPAC for its efforts to share the realities in Israel with her, she should have taken that offer and seen for herself the tragedy of what took place there. Instead of being ‘independent’, her comments clearly paint Kelly as being ill informed, as she once again comes to the support of the pro-Iran, Israel-bashing Tucker Carlson who she “knows” so well. Perhaps she should stop outsourcing her perspective to the influence of her friend Carlson, and find out for herself what the facts really are in Israel. Perhaps, then, instead of condemning AIPAC for their efforts to inform the world of what life really is like in Israel, she will come to lend her voice in calling for AIPAC to stop supporting the menacing threat of a Two State Solution.
“Israel is the only country I know of that has some sort of incredible influence and control over nearly every single one of my colleagues…”

An interesting article was recently published regarding voluntary resettlement of Gaza Arabs (who only as of the mid-20th century C.E. renamed themselves “Palestinians”) to the independent nation of South Sudan—a very different entity than Sudan.
The following analyses provide very important background about South Sudan necessary to better understand this proposal:
Peloni: This Iranian regime extends its authority to Lebanon, Gaza, the PA, Yemen, across Europe, and North, Central and South America. It’s intent is to destroy the West and place the world under an Islamic Caliphate. As the West continues to pretend that this is a manageable threat, they are toying with their own demise and subjugation. This regime must be removed, allowing Iranians the choice of a future which is not dependent upon world conquest, and the world with the security of knowing that this long held kernel of threat over the Western World has finally been eliminated.

An announcement from the Centro Islamico Imam al Mahdi do Dialogo Brasil (CIADB) (São Paulo) of a commemoration event for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and all “martyrs of the Resistance” on the day of Nasrallah’s funeral. The center is run by an Al Mustafa clergyman.
Last July, Israel’s ambassador to Argentina gave an interview to Latin America’s leading news platform, Infobae, where he named Edgardo Ruben (aka Suhail) Assad, Abdallah Cerrilla, and Abdul Karim Paz, three Argentinian-born and Iran-trained Shi’a clerics, as part of an Iran terror network. The network has links to Sheikh Mohsen Rabbani, one of the masterminds of the 1992 bombing of Israel’s embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 bombing of the AMIA, the Buenos Aires Jewish cultural center.
Peloni: As Sec. Rubio has recently stated that banning the Muslim Brotherhood is in process, President Trump should include CAIR in this ban.

Yet while Muslim organizations make concerted efforts to convert non-Muslims to Islam, not a single church or any non-Muslim entity has any program to equip its people to deal with this challenge. Apparently to have such a counter-dawah program would be “Islamophobic.”

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on a diplomatic offensive on Tuesday, sending harshly worded letters to the leaders of France and Australia after both countries had recently sharply criticized Israel and vowed to recognize a Palestinian state.
