DARING THE “ACCUSERS”  TO TAKE THE SHOVEL TEST

Archaeology dismantles the “European Jewish Colonizer” myth, exposing the performative hypocrisy of Western elites in places like Kanata, and reveals the unalterable bedrock of Jewish indigeneity. The earth has no agenda. While global narratives attempt to rewrite Jewish history, the physical record beneath the sand proves that Zionism is the ultimate “land-back” movement.

Ed Sheeran Weaponized Anti-Jewish Stereotypes  

PELONI:  Weaponizing Jew Hatred to solve personal or political problems by way of deflection is an old and cynical tactic which both highlights and promotes Jew Hatred among the populace.  Its use is now being employed across the US from those as politically experienced as US VP Vance to songwriters who have never engaged in pollical commentary before.  The moral cowardice which accompanies this tactic contrasts with the moral courage of those who helped guide the Western world towards a better future.  All the same, the normalization of such moral cowardice is having its own effect on the Western world, but it is not a better tomorrow that is being built upon such shiftless opportunism being exemplified in either powerful or influential leaders as these.

Ed Sheeran’s recent remarks at his Philadelphia concert—where he broke his self-professed political silence to address Israel’s fight to eliminate the Hamas terrorists in Gaza—revealed a fundamental misunderstanding of Israel’s strategic and moral imperatives. Delivering what was clearly a prepared statement while attempting to pass it off as an off-the-cuff moment of reflection, Sheeran instead weaponized a deeply flawed narrative.

Bibi Derangement Syndrome is, in fact, deranged  

PELONI:  The corrosive move by the Left to play the role of the disloyal opposition has weakened the nation advancing divisions within the nation which not only left Israel weakened but has been shown to have unsurprisingly strengthened and motivated our enemies with devastating results.  Despite this fact, like an old dog unable to learn new tricks, the Left continues to focus its efforts on rendering Netanyahu as the leader of the national camp as being too toxic a personality with which to engage.  The ramifications of this tactic being successful will continue to devastate the nation and to strengthen the successors of Sinwar.  For this and many other reasons, let us hope their efforts fail so profoundly that the disloyal opposition comes to reflect upon a path that is at least marginally less disloyal.

Ultimately it represents a willingness to denigrate and diminish Israel itself

We are currently immersed in a season of heightened awareness. In the run up to Yom Kippur we focused on those aspects of ourselves that were in need of correction and represented our deviation from the path of goodness and righteousness.

The Hypocritical Hashemite King of Palestine.  

PELONI: The least connection which Jordan has to its origin of being included in the League of Nations for the Mandate of Palestine is the baseless kingship of the Hashemites whose only connection to the lands today known as Jordan are thru the Hashemites having originally been picked to serve as the British Satraps so as to conserve British assets of blood and treasure.  Indeed, the Hashemites didn’t so much as even conquer the lands which they eventually were awarded to rule in Britain’s place.  They literally simply showed up, and were gifted 78% of the lands under the League of Nations for the Mandate of Palestine, and it is a vital truth that is seldom noted that initial Emirate of Transjordan which was created out of thin air by the British was maintained under British rule authorized exclusively by the League of Nations for the Mandate of Palestine.  Hence, Jordan is not only Palestine, it is in fact the overwhelming majority of Palestine, but the Hashemites were actually Arabians.

Let’s be honest. Jordan is Palestine.

What the “Voice of Gaza” Chose Not to Tell the World  

In a wide-ranging interview lasting more than three hours with the Arabic-language podcast Taqarob, photographer Motaz Azaiza discussed his work in Gaza and what went on behind the scenes of local media coverage. His admissions about self-censorship, Hamas repression and the withholding of footage from October 7 challenge his image as the “perfect correspondent” and raise questions about the ethics of Western media.

On January 24, 2024, the day after he left Gaza, Franceinfo quoted an activist’s description of Motaz Azaiza as “the voice of Gazans.” A few months later, Time named him one of the world’s hundred most influential people. His photographs had shown the destruction, the wounded, the families left with nothing.

The Long Shadow: Britain’s Cold Feet on the Jews, 1921 and 1955  

A buried chapter

By Jalal Tagreeb

In November 2022, historian and strategist Edward Luttwak published a piece in Tablet titled “The Failed British Double-Cross of Israel.” Drawing on declassified British General Staff files, Luttwak laid out two episodes from the mid-1950s that rarely make it into the standard narrative of Britain’s post-Mandate relationship with Israel.

What Really Caused Lieberman to Move from the Right to the Left?  

PELONI: Must read review of Liberman’s career moves by Yossi Baum.

Note Gen. Amir Avivi’s comment on Lieberman’s proposal:

Wow, and I thought maybe it was just an unfortunate slip of the tongue, but no! This is Lieberman’s worldview. In my view, this policy of the Knesset allowing a Jordanian army to control significant areas within Israel would pose an existential threat to the State of Israel. This is a full-on left-wing policy. The truth is frightening!

IDF orders drastic measures to raise Judea & Samaria security after terrorist severely wounds Israeli soldier  

PELONI: Where is the outcry over these deliberate acts of terrorism by the Americans who were so ready to denounce ‘settler violence’ that Ambassador Huckabee described an innocent Israeli as some form of terrorist.  Well, here are real terrorists, with real victims, but they do not fit the geopolitical narrative of the Muslim Palestinian victim being murdered by Jewish terrorists.

To this point, Rubio’s statement was quite revealing, even as it was far from surprising.  Unfortunately for everyone involved, the truth is that in Judea and Samaria there are in fact terrorists there, but they are Muslim terrorists.  Also, there are victims there, but they are Jewish victims.  Until these realties are understood, accepted, and acted upon, the butchery in Judea and Samaria which is against the Jews living there, will continue.  Have we not wasted enough time and blood pretending that the Arabs in Judea and Samaria want peace or that they don’t simply want the Jews of Israel dead?

See Laura Loomer’s comments below article.
