On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,” a terrorist declares on the Flight 93 cockpit recording. That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.

“Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.”

It’s almost Rosh Hashanah, when the sound of the shofar shakes our complacency as a call to action.

Rosh Hashanah is the time when the world is judged. And it’s also a time for introspection, reckoning, heartfelt prayers and tears. Even the most pious can’t help feeling some trepidation at the self-reflection required.

Ed Miliband and the Dangerous Belief That Integration Can Make Jews Forget the Lessons of Their Own History

There is an illusion that has followed Jews through modern history: the belief that if we integrate completely into the societies in which we live, eventually we will simply become Germans, French, British, Americans or Canadians.

In Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 cinematic epic, The Ten Commandments, there is a scene of profound moral collapse that serves as a timeless mirror. Moses descends from Mount Sinai, cradling the law of God, only to find his people spiraling into chaos. At the center of this betrayal stands Dathan—played with chilling, self-serving malice by Edward G. Robinson.

Peloni:  MBS is reaping the reward of having forced the UAE out of this conflict, literally with a BANG as it bombed the UAE war shipments.  Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia has rebuffed any normalization with Israel which could also have aided Iran in its current moment of need.  Instead, MBS has chosen to align itself with the Islamist states of Turkey and Pakistan.   Notably the leadership in Riyadh is acting in support of the radicals on its streets, but they have boxed themselves into a situation in which they have lost all control of the military situation, and given that the Saudis have struggled to face off against the Houthis over the past decade with spectacular effect even with a coalition of outside parties, it should surprise no one that facing the Houthis alone has left it in a state of complete disaster as its erstwhile Mecca Agreement remains unsupported by actions of those nations who saw this agreement as a political device by which to try to isolate Israel in the region.  Well, as the Houthis stand on shores of the strategic waterway of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, we have to ask who is it that is actually being isolated…  MBS was a man of vision, and he has constructed many important reforms in his nation, but he did so while leading the nation from the front, rather than trailing from behind as he followed the orders of his Islamist inclined citizens.  His state of hysteria and desperation is the culmination of his faltering to lead in support of the vision for which he once advocated.  Such follies as this in the Middle East are rarely left unaddressed.

Trump reportedly orders military to maintain focus on Iran rather than open another front

The Yemeni Houthi terrorists continued their lightning advance along the Red Sea Coast, completing the capture of the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula as well as several islands, giving them complete control over the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

September 11, 2001, shattered my assumptions about permanent personal freedom. I assumed my freedom. Never for one moment did I think that it could be taken from me. But all that changed on one day.

Peloni:  FDR provided a textbook example of what happens when the fate of Jews are left to those who despise them.  Unlike in 1938, as men like Burnham tries to outdistance his predecessor on his policies of Jew Hatred to appease and distract the monsters in his constituencies, it is important to reflect and rejoice upon the fact that we Jews have reconstituted our own nation, which is recognized and founded with the support of sound international law and principles.  Hence, the retort of those who would prefer, like FDR did and Burnham does, to see our people decimated and destroyed in a cauldron of evil will find that the fate of the Jewish people is no longer the exclusively the playthings of psychopaths who revel in our abuse.

“You know there is not room in Palestine for many more people,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt told a prominent American Jewish leader in early 1938. “Perhaps another hundred or hundred and fifty thousand.”

Over 30 years ago, historian and social critic Deborah Lipstadt wrote a powerful book, Denying the Holocaust, warning the public about the dangers of this pernicious ideology. This year, I was drawn to this book because debates are raging again, this time amplifying across social media, about the truth of World War II, what happened in the death camps, and how we sift out the truth from the lies.

In an important article written by Col. Richard Kemp, “Political warfare against Israel, led by Russia and China,” he explains that rather than being merely a matter of history, sentiment or religion, US support for Zionism should be recognized as an important American national-security interest.

Peloni:  I have noted it before, but this coming election in October really is a question of what kind of future people want for themselves and their loved ones, and this article by Avi Abelow clarifies just one aspect of what the outcome of turning power over to the opposition might have for Israel.  In short, people have to ask themselves, do they want to support the existing judicial tyranny which ignores the manipulation of false accusations against the men of the IDF, or do they want accountability for all who might take part in such a maliciously damaging perversion of justice specifically weaponized against those warriors who have risked their lives on behalf of the nation.

Importantly, the tyranny which extends from an overactive High Court has the potential of repelling people from both sides of the aisle as seen by Ayala Hasson’s outburst described below, which wasn’t the first time she has voiced such an outrage.

This of course is just one aspect of the choice which is on the ballot in October, so choose carefully and vote as if it will determine the fate of the nation and your family, because it will.

Natasha Hausdorff, legal director of UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust, provides a sharply worded response to the desion by the British government to apply sanctions to Israeli settlements while also imposing a trade ban on Jewish Israelis living in Judea and Samaria. Hausdorff highlights that the policy comes at a price of harming not only Jewish Israelis but also Arabs working in related industries, with the additional problematic consquence regarding Britain’s own international trade obligations.

Peloni:  The Horn of Africa continues to bear the consequence of Saudi military limitations even as reports in recent days had given some hope that Saudi military challenges might be changing.  The loss of Mocha however represents a high value loss to the Kingdom’s backed forces.  The Saudis have an interest in returning normalcy to their sphere of influence including Yemen, but they seem to still lack the means by which to achieve such an outcome on their own or even with the threat of the still yet to be demonstrated relevance for Riyadh of their Mecca Agreement with Turkey and Pakistan.   A better alliance might have been made with Israel, UAE and Somaliland all of which have a common interest with Riyadh to defeat the Houthis, but it would appear that Riyadh has more interest in seeking support from Islamists than it does in even securing its own back yard.

The advance by the Houthis was anticipated. It also appears that although the Houthis suffered some setbacks on other fronts, this offensive could have wider implications for the region.

After three days of escalating conflict in Yemen, with the Saudi-backed government making gains, the Houthis have struck the city of Mocha on the Red Sea. Their surprise advance was anticipated. Though the Houthis have suffered setbacks on other fronts, this offensive could have wider implications for the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea.

Peloni: Nadia Matar of the Sovereignty Movement has a long distance message for Europe.

Peloni:  The US should reassert itself as the dominant player in the US-Qatari relationship.  Yet, the influence peddling which Qatar conducts with the US and the current US administration has had its effect.  The policy of openly cavorting with Hamas terrorists and supporting the safegarding of Hamas from destruction while ignoring the fact that the Hamas leadership resides just a few miles from the largest US base in the Middle East begs the question of what is holding back the long overdue justice for the American victims of these masters of October 7, which included the slaughter of American citizens as well.

One year ago today, Hamas officials in Qatar narrowly escaped death. On September 9, 2025, Israel launched an airstrike on a Hamas meeting in Doha. The strike failed to wipe out Hamas’s upper ranks. But it was an explosion that rocked the Middle East. It brought the Persian Gulf into the war. And it blew apart the pretense that Qatar had been a neutral arbiter since October 7, 2023.
