Peloni:  The notion that Hezbollah will be dislogded from its control over Lebanon is nonsensical.  They control the plurality of the nation’s population, a near majority, if not a majority of its military, and a still significant force of arms and men which are independent of the state’s control.  So the US will continue to spend billions of dollars yearly while the government will continue its pretense of isolating Hezbollah, but nothing will come from this plan because it defies the realities on the ground as have all other previous initiatives to disarm Hezbollah.  There is no capacity in Lebanon to do what is expected in Amb. Barrack’s plan.

“Break the taboos; we demand peace,” declared Marcel Ghanem, host of Lebanon’s premier talk show. “Demanding peace [with Israel] is not a crime,” he emphasized, challenging entrenched narratives. Marwan Hamade, a seasoned Druze lawmaker, appeared on I24 News (French service) to discuss Gaza, signaling a willingness to defy Lebanon’s surreal boycott laws. Pundit Tony Karam condemned deceptive negotiations with Israel and delusions of victory over it, writing, “It’s time for political courage.” A group of anonymous Lebanese launched the “Lebanon Israel Initiative” to foster dialogue and cooperation between the neighboring nations.

Peloni:  J.D. Vance, hypocrisy is thy name.  Hours after giving lip service to acknowledging Israel is a sovereign nation and not a vassal state, he admits taking umbrage to the Knesset asserting itself as sovereign in a vote which only advanced legislation towards demonstrating Israel’s sovereignty.

The Sovereignty Movement to the Prime Minister: Your role is to protect the dignity of the people of Israel, even when facing a friendly American president. There is no place for threats, condescension, or disrespect between allies. Sovereignty is a necessity.

J.D. Vance feels “offended” and it’s really not clear about what or why. The ones who are truly offended are actually us, in light of the blunt and threatening tone of the American president toward the government of Israel, toward the Israeli parliament, toward the people of Israel, toward the Jewish people as a whole, when he tells us that if Israel applies sovereignty to the heart of our land it will lose all American support.

IDF says no decision made yet, notes improvement in community defenses and alert units

All Israel News Staff | Published: October 23, 2025

The IDF plans to significantly reduce the number of its troops deployed in Judea and Samaria, according to a report in Ynet News on Thursday.

Following the outbreak of the Oct. 7 war with Gaza, the military strongly reinforced its presence throughout Judea and Samaria to protect Jewish communities and settlements there from facing a similar threat to the one faced by the Gaza Envelope communities two years ago.

Peloni: Is this acceptable to Hamas’ friends in Qatar and Turkey? Is this acceptable to Trump and the US? Is this savagery what was intended by the unrelenting lamentations made by world leaders on behalf of the people of Gazans when they pushed the badly flawed ceasefire plan forward?  While the US is shuttling numerous dignitaries to Israel to dismiss the right of extending sovereignty over sovereign Israeli territory, they are ignoring the fruits of the current US ‘peace’ deal, which include current events such as this story below, which should not be permitted to continue for one more day.  Hamas has earned its extinction many times over.  It is time to end this terror organization and make the world a better, safer, and saner place in their absence, for the people of Gaza, and for those of us who didn’t vote Hamas into power 20yrs ago.

Peloni:  I have watched Tommy Robinson since his advocacy first began, and he has only become more inspiring, more committed and more effective in the passing years, despite the best efforts to isolate, discredit, and silence him.

At a time when Israel faces open war and the Jewish people are under siege – from rockets, propaganda, and moral cowardice – a valiant voice in the West has refused to bend and apologize. That voice belongs to Tommy Robinson.

Peloni:  I am forever moved by the evidence which still exists to this day which demonstrates the inspiring connection between our past and the present as represented in such tiny pieces of clay as exemplified in this tax notice passed between the King of Judah and his contemporary nearly three millennia ago. Interestingly enough, these revelations demonstrate the contradiction in fake narratives as told by our enemies to debase our claim of ancestral connection to the land of our forefathers, but the grander import which I find among these ancient relics is our ability to gain a better understanding of our past and the frailties, follies, ingenuities and victories which led our people from three thousand years ago to this day.  Indeed, such understandings are the fundamental foundations upon which a society’s identity is understood, and notably, it is our identity which our enemies are targeting when they shade our history with their invented tales which prefer to gas light the well depicted record of our presence in the land of our forefathers.

Clay fragment confirms direct Assyrian-Judean ties and echoes biblical accounts of royal tribute.

A Misunderstanding or Something Else?

Stephen Bryen | Weapons & Strategy | Oct 23, 2025

Something happened that caused Donald Trump to “cancel” the expected meeting between himself and Vladimir Putin in Budapest.

Consider this: Plans were moving ahead for the meeting. Hungary’s Foreign Minister arrived in Washington to work on planning for the meeting. While he was still here, Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a “productive” phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and recommended that Trump cancel the Putin meeting.

Update:  Netanyahu Responds to Sovereignty Bills:

Prime Minister’s Office: “The Knesset vote on annexation was a deliberate political provocation by the opposition to sow discord during Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Israel. The two bills were sponsored by opposition members of the Knesset. The Likud party and the religious parties (the principal coalition members) did not vote for these bills, except for one disgruntled Likud member who was recently fired from the chairmanship of a Knesset committee. Without Likud support these bills are unlikely to go anywhere.”

Peloni:  More revealing than this is the INN report that Trump gave his word to the Arab countries that Israel would not recognize sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and has threatened “Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.”

An important point to be made here is the perjorative context in which it is claimed that Israel is “annexing” anything, which is utterly false.  The extension of sovereignty only recognizes facts already in existence and as established in international law.  Trump’s comment demonstrates a complete miscomprehension of what was proposed in the yesterday’s legislation.

After the Knesset passed two bills advancing the annexation of territories in Judea and Samaria over the opposition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio warned that the action could be “threatening to the peace deal.”

Qatar is already backsliding just days after pressuring Hamas to clinch a Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel. During his annual address to Qatar’s legislative body on October 21, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani accused Israel of “continued breaches of the ceasefire in Gaza” without blaming Hamas for provoking Israeli action. At no point did Al-Thani mention Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 people, which dragged Israel into war two years ago. Rather than working with the United States to facilitate Hamas’s disarmament, Doha appears to be signaling a return to obstruction, with the apparent goal of securing Hamas’s position in Gaza.
