From Israel: More Than Just Very Ugly!!  

Peloni:  Bravo!  Arlene provides a masterful summary of the Amsterdam Pogrom from many directions.

Arlene Kushner, November 10, 2024

Israellycool

On Thursday night, there was a pogrom in Amsterdam. It was directed against some 3,000 Israelis who were in the city to cheer on the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team, which was playing against the Dutch team Ajax in a UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Europa League match.
Masked assailants – Muslims, some shouting “Free Palestine” – brutally attacked the Israelis. It is the most serious attack – actually a series of attacks – on Jews since October 7 and is being called a pogrom because of its scope and virulence.

Deception 7: The Refugee Deception.  

Peloni:  Here is the 6th installment of Joseph Shellim’s 12 Deceptions, an excerpt from his important work, Philistine-To-Palestine.  We are posting one Deception each week, and  links to the previous installments can be found at the bottom.

Jewish refugees fleeing persecution, murder and property confiscations in Arabia.

Who Are the Refugees? 
Are the Arabs or Jews the refugees of Palestine? This important question is well validated by history  and many Arab Muslim experts, yet both remain disregarded. The only refugees of Palestine reported  are of the Arabs, with no explanation how such a conclusion is arrived at. How can Arab Palestinians  be from other Arab countries that are not Palestinian, as claimed by an award-winning Arab Journalist:  

  • “Not only do the Arab countries despise the Palestinians; they also want them to be the problem of Israel alone. That is why since 1948, Arab governments have refused to allow Palestinians permanently  to settle in their countries and become equal citizens. Now these Arab countries are not only denying  Palestinians their basic rights, they are also killing and torturing them, and subjecting them to ethnic  cleansing.” – (Ethnic Cleansing of ‘Palestinians’ by Khaled Abu Toameh, an Arab Muslim and a  veteran award-winning journalist covering Palestinian affairs for nearly three decades, Senior Fellow at  the Gatestone Institute. Yonkers Tribune)

IDF preparing for long-term Gaza presence? Military increases control over the Netzarim Corridor  

Peloni:  Israel should maintain permanent security presence over all of Gaza and should also take the northern half or third of Gaza for Jewish settlement.  The only penalty which the Arabs recognize as penalizing is the loss of territory, and they must understand that the purposeful mutilation, slaughter, rape and kidnapping of Israeli citizens, as took place on October 7, will have penalizing effects.

Former reserve officer says plan is for limited military rule – ‘I don’t think Israel should live in Gaza’

Reports in Hebrew news media indicate that the IDF is preparing for a long-term presence in the Gaza Strip, even after the end of the war.

The IDF has built up its presence and control of several key points in the Strip over the past few months in what analysts say is a preparation for a long-term military presence in the enclave after fighting has ended.

Iran Grows Silent On Its Threats of Retaliation  

By | November 9, 2024

After the devastating Israeli attack on Iran on October 25, when IAF airstrikes destroyed Iran’s air defense systems, including all four of the Russian S-400 anti-missile defense systems that protected Tehran and all of Iran’s ballistic missile plants, the Iranians have been warning Israel to soon expect, as the Supreme Leader put it, “a crushing response.” To make its intentions clear to the world, the Iranian government put up a huge billboard in Tehran depicting “Teloshima” — a portmanteau word combining “Tel Aviv” and “Hiroshima” — to make sure Israel understood Iran’s nuclear threat. But it has been more than two weeks since the Israeli attack, and the Iranian regime has suddenly gone quiet.

Media Lies About Muslim Street Violence Against Jews in Amsterdam  

The media is doing what it always does.

Daniel Greenfield | November 10, 2024

While most elected officials condemned the sustained Muslim street violence campaign against Jews (and anyone they thought was Jewish or at least non-Muslim in a given part of Amsterdam), the media quickly rushed into cover-up mode, describing it as ‘soccer hooliganism’ and a ‘clash’ involving ‘fans of an Israeli soccer team’ triggered by the burning of a PLO flag.

1. Soccer or ‘football’ was not the issue. It just created Jewish targets. This was a friendly match with a local soccer team that has a lot of Jewish fans. The Muslim mobs attacking Jews were not supporting the other team.

Seeing the big overall picture  

Peloni:  As American efforts are focused on ceasefire and negotiations, Israel is faced with a choice of victory or returning to some version of the status quo.  The future will be an extension of which path will be pursued, and as Avivi notes, “It depends on our ability to persist and win.”  There can be no substitute for victory, though the costs will be painful to bear.

‘Absolute victory’ is closer than ever, and it’s worth the heavy price according to the chairman of IDSF, who also outlines the flourishing of Israel on the day after

The saying goes, “It’s always darkest before the dawn,” and right now, it feels like we are in that dark moment, awaiting the dawn. Certainly, the past year, and the past month in specific, have put us through deep darkness, with tears for the many fallen.

U.S. and Israel Expose Iran’s Tenacious Malign Influence  

Max Lesser & Ari Ben Am | November 8, 2024

The FBI, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Israel National Cyber Directorate published a joint cybersecurity advisory on October 30 detailing new tradecraft and operations by Emennet Pasargad, a threat actor linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The detailed discussion of Iranian tradecraft in this report can strengthen global efforts to combat Iran’s malign influence, thus demonstrating the benefits of close collaboration between America and its democratic allies when combating malign influence from common adversaries.

Emennet Pasargad, which now operates under the company name Aria Sepehr Ayandehsazan (ASA), is one of Iran’s most tenacious threat actors, having conducted multiple prominent cyber and influence operations in support of numerous malign actors, including Hamas.

Literary boycott of Israel – just another sordid violation of US Anti-Boycott Law  

Don’t boycotters realize they have become the useful dupes of the terrorist Hamas and Iranian regimes in their efforts to delegitimize and destroy the State of Israel and ethnically cleanse it of Jews?

BDS activists  iStock

The boycott movement against Israel is just another obnoxious chapter in the sordid history of economic, social and political warfare against the Jews.

BDS (an acronym, meaning Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) is the latest rhetorical term used to obfuscate its nefarious character. Don’t be misled by the attempts to sanitize it as some sort of social awareness program. It’s an insidiously malevolent and antisemitic scheme directed at delegitimizing Israel and undermining it as a haven and homeland for Jews.

Rabbi Herzog: Details of a new Middle East with Trump  

Rabbi Jacob Herzog

Details of a new Middle East with Trump. First tweet. This is what will happen with Mohammed bin Zayed, President of the UAE.

The biggest loser is the UAE. Trump said it while Prince Tamim was beside him: “We told Qatar and the UAE to stop funding terrorism.” Trump knows that the UAE supported terrorist elements just like Qatar did. Trump will teach the UAE a lesson in manners.

Peace in the Middle East: The First Step  

Peloni:  Israel has stood as the sole defender of the West as Iran’s goal of global dominance has been facilitated by the West.  The West must completely reject and excise the cancerous reach of the Mullahs in a way which it has heretofore irresponsibly refused to do.

by Majid Rafizadeh • Gatestone Institute • November 9, 2024

Over the decades, Iran’s regime has embedded itself deeply within the region’s crises, stoking unrest and sponsoring terrorism. If the Middle East is to see any genuine peace and stability, a transformation of Iran’s regime is essential.

DNA Contamination in Vaccines: What Is It and Why Does It Matter?  

Controversy over DNA contamination in vaccines has been making headlines lately. CHD Senior Research Scientist Karl Jablonowski explains what it is, how it happens, and why it raises health concerns.

Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. |  The Defender | November 8, 2024

Legacy media fact-checkers and regulators across the world repeatedly claim that DNA contamination in vaccines — and particularly in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines — poses no risk to vaccine recipients.

Some have gone so far as to claim that concerns raised about this issue by countless researchers are “baseless,” “misinformation” and “conspiracy theory.”

They concede that both older vaccines and the newer mRNA vaccines can contain residual DNA leftover from the manufacturing process — but say that remnant DNA is “expected and considered safe” and that there are regulatory steps in place to make sure it occurs only in limited quantities.

It Begins – Qatar Tells Hamas Leadership They Need to Leave  

Peloni:  There has never been any mystery as to the influence which the US could wield over Qatar, and therefore over Hamas.  In fact, rather than having Qatar evict the Hamas leadership, these leaders should be held indefinitely pending the release of inocent civilian hostages of many countries, including America.  Now that they are no longer being granted refuge in US protected Qatar, the leaders of Hamas will be as touchable as was Haniyeh when he made short sojourn to Tehran, which is of course an encouraging thought to consider.

Sundance | November 8, 2024

Following the election of President Donald J Trump, an interesting report surfaces today about Qatar, Hamas (Muslim Brotherhood) and Egypt.

Qatar is asking Hamas leadership to leave the country:
