Member Of Qatari Ruling Family: Stop Supporting Iran | MEMRI  

Iran has devastated the countries of the region; Enough with calls to support it.

By Amb. Alberto M. Fernandez | MEMRI | Sept 8, 2026

Qatar is known as an ally of Iran and maintains close relations with it despite having been attacked by Iran several times during the recent war. This is evident in the ongoing contacts between the two countries, in Qatar’s commitment to mediating between Iran and the U.S. in order to bring an end to the war, and especially in the emirate’s official and media discourse, which portrays Iran in a positive light and even as having won the war and humiliated the U.S.[1]

Amir Avivi Responds to being placed 4th on Likud List  

Peloni:  I am greatly heartened by PM Netanyahu placing Amir Avivi so high on the Likud List.  He represents a formidable source of judgement from which the nation will prosper in the years to come, as has been true of his role in both leading Habithonistim, aka IDSF, and in his role during his extensive military service.   His leadership has proven critical in guiding the nation and its leaders towards greatness and now he will himself be, G_d willing, one of the leaders leading the nation.

Harris Faulkner: POWERFUL blow by US on Iran  

Peloni:  These are not the strikes which will destabilize the Iranian regime.  There needs to be an element of chaos among the economic strikes being brought against the IRGC, and chaos does not come from sinking tankers which are already going nowhere due to the economic sanctions.  Instead, chaos is derived from attacks on the security infrastructure and leadership personnel which holds the regime in power.

The latest Oct 7 report from Haaretz on Netanyahu  

Peloni:  So from the politically staged timing of this revelation we are to conclude that Bibi alone is responsible for October 7, while ignoring that a full war plan was previously obtained under the Bennett govt, the significance of which was also ignored.  The old conceptzia was a malignancy which festered in the Israeli establishment and the result to ignore any intelligence which countered the conclusions which supported the old conceptzia.  It was inculcated across the entire of the govt, the security apparatus and the armed forces.  The problem is that the remnants of the old conceptzia is still present in the minds of many who would prefer to seek quiet over security, to surrender to US and international pressure rather than to stand alone.  We will have more to say on this report, but it is noteworthy that as Bibi was ignoring Biden’s warnings of “Don’t”, his current opponents were challenging him to temper his actions.   Indeed, Eisenkot was calling for agreement with Hamas and seeking quiet in the north just 4 days after the Grim Beeper Affair.  People need to step back and rationally consider with whom they might trust the lives of children, because that is exactly what this coming election is all about.

The latest Oct 7 report from Haaretz on Netanyahu is outrageous and highlights how the paper is competing as the worst Jew-hating antisemitic propaganda ever, just as bad as Gobbles, Hitler’s propaganda officer.

The Rise of Zionism in Latin America Signals the Further Collapse of Communism  

Peloni:  Arthur Christopher Schaper provides a detailed reflection on the caustic relationship which has historically existed between Israel and communist states, explaining why the rejection of communism across South America has come to be simultaneous with a rise of Israeli allies in their place.

In a previous article, I shared about the incredible conservative political victories across Latin America. I explained that these political reversals for good are on par with the Fall of the Berlin Wall, but with lasting effect across the entire continent. Conservative pundits have longed for these developments for years, and now they are here. President Trump deserves credit for helping this resurgence of freedom and prosperity to manifest across a region of the world which had fallen into the thralls of communist dictatorships.

The Ukraine Negotiations and Ukraine’s Future  

Peloni:  As Ukraine maintains an uncompromising position in its war with Russia amid US munitions limitations, the question arises as to what is doable and what is achievable.  Ukraine’s maximalist demands with marginal capabilities continue to be inconsistent with reality.  Even in a stalemate, Ukraine’s dependency on US weapon systems represent a demand which can not be sustained inevitably, and this is what would be needed in pursuit of Ukraine’s demands.  Reality bites and the reality is that Ukraine’s war with Russia is not sustainable, its war aims are not realistic, and its capabilities are dependent on siphoning critical weapon inventories of the entire West to balance against these realities with no real possibility of altering this balance in Ukraine’s favor.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner wound up their visit to Kiev on September 6 after visiting Moscow the day prior. In both capitals, the US special diplomatic duo met with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky respectively. Both offered solutions that the Russians seemed to like, and the Ukrainians did not. Washington needs a solution to the Ukraine war because it cannot continue to support Ukraine’s war needs. Supporting Ukraine is undermining NATO’s defenses and NATO’s viability.

What Is The Significance Of The Mecca Pact?  

Peloni:  Janet Levy provides a deep dive into the intricacies behind the Mecca Pact, the consequences stemming from it, and the reason why it must be understood to be an arrangement in opposition to Israeli and US interests.

America must rethink its policies and priorities in the volatile Middle East.

Last month, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed the Mecca Pact, a defense alliance moving toward autonomous security arrangements and away from America’s shield. President Donald Trump hailed the pact, saying the Middle East is coming together. Some analysts called it an incipient “Islamic NATO.” But there are far too many complexities, and events are still unfolding.

UK, Canada And 10 Other Countries Move To Ban Trade With Israeli Communities In Judea And Samaria  

UPDATE: Foreign Minister Sa’ar announces closure of British Consulate in Jerusalem and other countermeasures against UK sanctions.

Peloni:  So while recognizing the devastating consequence of having created a defacto Second Palestinian state in Gaza, Europeans are determined to move forward with their support for creating an actual Second Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.  Notably, European hypocrisy knows no bound as they are applying sanctions on even those who support the creation of illegal settlements in Judea and Samaria when in fact the European nations launching this economic war on Israel are in fact guilty of having supported the creation of thousands of illegal settlements all across Judea and Samaria.

The fact that the European sanctioning is even stated to affect a Second Palestinian state while simultaneously ‘condemning’ the result of the last attempt at creating a Second Palestinian state in Gaza provides all the clarity needed to demonstrate that Europe is pursuing yet one more attempt at pursuing political arrangements which will oversee the slaughter and destruction of the Jewish people as they first pursued in the notorious Evian Conference of 1938 when Europe agreed to seal the fate of European Jewry in the hands of the Nazis.  Well, this is not 1938, and Israel is not the plaything of Europe’s to decide the fate of her people.

In addition to the expulsion of the diplomats for the countries now making economic war on the people of Israel, Israel should pursue a policy such that for every Israeli sanctioned by the European powers, Israel should oversee the destruction of one illegal Arab settlement which receives or has received funding from Europe.

Britain, France and Canada say they will introduce national measures targeting settlement goods as 12 governments coordinate new economic pressure on Israel.

By: Ron East | TheJ.ca | September 8, 2026

Britain, Canada, France and nine other countries announced plans Tuesday to impose or pursue restrictions on trade with Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, marking a significant escalation in international economic pressure over Israel’s settlement policies.
