Today Jews around the world are commemorating the Fast of Gedaliah, a day that commemorates the tragic assassination of a Jewish leader and the collapse of Jewish sovereignty following the destruction of the First Temple. While we fast to remember, we must also open our eyes to the powerful contrast unfolding today in our ancestral homeland.

Yes, the world is once again aligning against us. More and more Western countries are recognizing a so-called “State of Palestine,” literally rewarding genocidal terror without even demanding the release of our hostages. Not a word. Not a condition. Just blind support for genocidal murderers. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s the global normalization of Jew-hatred, dressed in suits and resolutions.

Peloni:  The problem arises from the fact that Netanyahu has consistently and repeatedly asserted his disinterest in governing Gaza.  If reports are to be believed, which is still in question in some minds, Netanyahu’s opposition to this fact was reaffirmed to Trump when the Blair/Kushner efforts first began.  Since Israel will not govern Gaza, it requires some offshoring of this awesome responsibility, and the simple truth is that there is no other power or group who should be trusted with safeguarding Israel’s interest in the Strip, not even the Abraham Accord partners who have defied Israel’s right to have entered this war in the first place.  While these partners have an interest in quelling the radicals in their own backyard, doing so effectively in Israel’s backyard will only protect Israel, while complicating matters for any Sunni member state of the AA.  If Israel is to survive into perpetuity, it requires that Israel secure the strip herself, and not allow any third party, and certainly not the corrupt, terror complicit PA, take control over Gaza.  The costs of assuming this responsibility should reasonably be understood to not be immaterial, but these costs will ultimately give Israel the security and assurance of what will come to be in the Gaza Strip.  Failing to do the heavy lifting involved in governing Gaza will sooner or later come to shoot Israel in the proverbial foot, once again.  So it is back to mowing the grass, or doing what is needed to remove the roots.  Everything else is simply charades.

This plan guarantees the continuation of the conflict in the not-too-distant future. It is not a peace plan. It is merely an armistice that allows Hamas to survive and its monstrous leadership to go unpunished nor does it impose any cost upon Egypt, a country that receives $1.5 billion in economic aid from the United States every year, for supplying Hamas with weapons through the sophisticated tunnels discovered by the IDF at Rafah. The plan demonstrates that terrorism works.

*As far as Iran’s Ayatollah regime is concerned – notwithstanding US statements, and independent of Israel’s existence – the war against “the infidel” West, “The Great American Satan” and the “apostate” Sunnis is not over!

In a recent IMPACT-se report, following the review of 294 Jordanian text books, Jordan has been seen to once again have fallen well short of UNESCO’s standards of peace and tolerance in education.  This comes following reforms in the Jordanian education system which oversaw the replacement and revisions of existing texts due to their content.  Notably this most recent report includes evidence of deterioration despite the reported reforms.  Here are just some of the findings described in the INPACT-se report:

Peloni:  Additionally, Macron announces that Trump assured him that Israeli “annexation” (read as extension of sovereignty) of Judea and Samaria is a Red Line and would mean the end of the Abraham Accords.  If this is not a fantasy imagined by Macron, Israel should still declare the extension of sovereignty.  The Abraham Accords have only one purpose for Israel, and that is to secure its own permanence in the region.  As it is instead being used as a cudgel with which to hold Israel fast while international agreements are used to embolden and empower its enemies, Israel alone will be the loser.  Herein lies the reality:  A diplomatic assault has been leveraged against Israel in preference of making the Two State Nightmare permanent, and Israel MUST respond.  The response which has been warned by Israel with greater and greater assurance has been to extend Sovereignty to some portion of Judea and Samaria.  Ignoring the fact that the use of something as basic as Israel’s right to recognize these lands as her own should not be limited to that of  a penalty against the international infractions of international law, Israel must see this thru, recognize Judea and Samaria, no matter the impact which be incurred on the Abraham Accords.  If the Accords are so friable as to be undone by Israel’s recognition of its own lands, they would make a poor foundation for the future in any event.  Notably, the Arabs will not respect Israel acquiescing to the permanence of the Two State Solution, but will in fact see it as their own victory and the fruit of the October 7 attack as is already being openly discussed by some – these are two outcomes which can not be permitted.  Declare Sovereignty NOW!

Israel doesn’t expect Trump will force a proposal on Israel
