Cindy McCain Demands $17 Billion for UN in Syria, Gaza, Etc  

Peloni:  The Western shill game for funding terrorists continues…

Daniel Greenfield | Dec 16, 2024

After spending over a year demanding we plow money into Gaza under the guise of a fake ‘famine’, Cindy McCain of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) is now demanding we plow money into Syria.

Cindy McCain, executive director of the World Food Programme, said Sunday the organization could “use $17 billion right now” to feed desperately hungry people.

Sure, why not? It’s not as if we have any use for that money.

Yep – Still the Smartest Guy in the Room  

Joan Swirsky | Dec 14, 2024

How did President-elect Trump become a billionaire?

How did Donald J. Trump, billionaire businessman, bestselling author, mega-successful TV star, become President of the United States in 2016?

How did President-elect Trump defy, confront, and prevail over a malevolent Deep State cabal, an American government steeped in collusion, a craven leftwing media, and a mountain of lawfare attacks to win––overwhelmingly––his second bid for POTUS?

I always called him the smartest guy in the room. And I suspect that most people would answer those questions––either proudly or grudgingly––by agreeing that his intelligence and also his drive, instincts, charisma, and sheer bravado are the magic ingredients of his blazing success.

Deception 12: The Occupation Deception.  

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

Joseph Shellim

Greatest Deception of All. 
Although Israel was invaded throughout her history and her people exiled numerously, never before  was the ownership of the Jews’ homeland disputed by any invading forces. Never before was the  charge of “Disputed Territory” ever raised by the nations that battled with the Jews 3,000 years.  

The charge of illegal or questioned land occupation made on the Jewish state is a modern world  phenomenon of the 20th Century. It is antithetical of history, both ancient and modern. That the Jew’s  most sacred land portion is deemed as ‘Occupied Territory’, after its ancient name changed to West  Bank, illegally, is perhaps the clearest form of all in measuring the occupation charge. Thereby, the  examination of how, when and why the charge of occupation arose aligns with the premise of the  greatest deception of all.  

Israel is in the forefront of a phenomenon impacting on many of the Middle East’s most ancient period  inhabitants, many pre-dating the Arabs, with signs and omens such is not limited to one region or  people.

Escalation for thee, but not for me  

By Walter E. Block

The Biden-Harris Administration has a goal for Israel: at all costs, avoid escalation. And when they say all costs, they mean exactly that: all costs. These costs include, even, the eventual total destruction of that country, Israel, itself.  Hey, it is not their nation. They have proven, over and over again, that the prosperity, even the very survival of the Jewish state, is not one of their prime objectives.

To this end they have often urged, nay, threatened, that unless the Jewish state agrees to a pause with its enemies, to a cease fire, to a truce, to a treaty, there will be an end to US transfers of needed, and contracted for, military supplies.

In behalf of this goal there has been recent but constant shuttle diplomacy on the part of the United States, conducted by officers such as Antony Blinken. He and his colleagues have engaged in Monday morning quarterbacking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his staff in order to promote this vision of theirs: avoid escalation at all costs, even if it severely weakens the only civilized country in the Middle East.

‘We Can Always Look for Other Ways’: Key Iranian Supply Line to Hezbollah Broken After Assad Ouster  

FDD | Dec 15, 2024

Latest Developments

• Iran’s Route through Syria Severed: Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said in a public address that Hezbollah’s critical supply line – running from Iran through Iraq and Syria into Lebanon – no longer exists following the overthrow of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by Islamist rebels on December 8. Qassem’s admission marks the first time that the Iranian proxy and U.S.-designated terrorist organization has commented publicly on the ramifications of Assad’s fall from power.

• Syria Helped Connect Iran to Hezbollah: For years, the Islamic Republic has directly shipped weapons across Iraq and Syria into Lebanon to facilitate Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel. Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 has historically been tasked with establishing these smuggling routes through Syria, which the IDF have targeted with airstrikes in recent months.

Meet an Arab-American Zionist Congressman  

Not unlike Democrat Ritchie Torres, another young outspoken pro-Israel congressman, Hamadeh took a trip to Israel which changed his life. Op-ed.

Rep. Hamadeh    Website

The United States is in deep trouble and it is not just the Jewish community that is facing a challenge from the jihadis and those devoted to destroying the American way of life. Jews and non-Jews must rise up and fight back in many different ways for the West to win this battle.

Israel’s Biggest Enemy: How Netanyahu Is Thanked for Disabling Iran, Terrorist Groups?  

by Bassam Tawil  • Gatestone Institute • December 15, 2024

Some might view the judicial escapade against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in cases of trumped-up charges, as political payback for the prime minister’s having tried to reform the judicial system after he was last re-elected in 2022. The judicial reforms are desperately needed. Do these judges actually want Israel to lose the war just so they can keep their absolute power?

October 7 Supporters Sponsor Times Square Billboard  

By Moshe Phillips | Dec 13, 2024

An American Muslim group that supported the October 7 slaughter of Israelis has launched an advertising campaign to demonstrate that Islam “promotes peace and the sanctity of life.” Talk about chutzpah!

This latest burst of hypocrisy comes courtesy of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group whose declared mission is to “establish a place for Islam in North America.”

The ICNA wants to convince the American public that Islam is inherently peaceful. To that end, the ICNA’s “GainPeace” project is currently investing $30,000 in a massive digital billboard advertisement in Times Square to “spotlight Islam’s core values of peace, unity and the sanctity of life,” according to a press release from the group.

Disaster Caused by Medical Journal Censorship  

Peloni:  The Covid fraud could never have been possible if not supported by the efforts of censorship from multiple aspect of society.  Most notorious and effective of these censorship avenues was employed to support and validate scientific research which promoted old “safe and effective” while silencing the results of any research critical of this establishment sponsored narrative.  Hence, what became a ready control mechanism over defining Right Speech within the medical journals built a construct of corruption promoting dangerous treatments in place of clearly safer alternatives.

| Brownstone Institute | December 14, 2024

In this post, I want to further the historical record of massive censoring actions by medical journals on the unprecedented adverse vaccine data of the Covid vaccines. A Midwestern doctor, my colleague and friend, has done a masterful job of detailing that history in regard to smallpox, polio, HPV, and many other aspects of childhood vaccines. Never forget the Cutter incident, where officials covered up the fact they were distributing contaminated and deadly polio vaccines:

MUST WATCH: The Real Story Behind the USS Liberty Attack  

Peloni:  The latest installment of Candace Owen’s Jew Hatred has taken the form of raising the specter of a plot by the Israeli govt to puposefully and knowingly attack an American spy ship caught surreptitiously surveiling the theater war during the Six Day War.  Of course, the work of Judge Jay. A. Cristol and an extensive article by Amb. Michael B. Oren demonstrate the true context of both the Israeli & American mishaps which brought about the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty.  Notably, as described by Amb. Oren, there exists a long list of parties who should know better and yet still suggest that the mishap of friendly fire was actually intentional when the facts clearly indicate otherwise. Jim Holt’s promotion of Owen’s latest diatribe against Israel would seem to add him to this list.

@JewsAreTheGOAT  tweeted the following:

MUST WATCH: The Real Story Behind the USS Liberty Attack

Antisemites often exploit this incident as a conspiracy theory, claiming that Israel deliberately attacked an American ship. This video uncovers the true story behind what happened. Key points discussed include:

Is it a Ceasefire if the Fire Doesn’t Cease?  

By

The Biden ceasefire in Lebanon fell apart in four days, but officially it’s holding. In what seems like a Seinfeld routine come to life, administration officials and their media allies are propping up the dead ceasefire by arguing that you can have a ceasefire even if the fire doesn’t cease.

Israel’s Justice Minister Yariv Levin calls for renewal of Judicial Reforms in latest disagreement with High Court  

Peloni:  As I stated before the Judicial Reform was abandoned in 2023, it will pass by this govt or it will be passed by another.  The need for this legislation is both substantive and obvious, which is why it was a major theme in the last election cycle, and if it is not passed by this govt, it will likely become an even greater theme in the next election cycle.  The damage being committed by the Juristocracy ruling the country, particularly in light of October 7, will all by itself sustain the reality that the need of Judicial Reform is existential and not merely political.

Former state prosecutor renews calls for reservists to refuse to do military service

Following the announcement by Israel’s High Court of Justice that Justice Minister Yariv Levin must hold a vote in the Judicial Selection Committee to elect a new Court president by January 16, Levin called for a return to Judicial Reform legislation in a Facebook post Saturday night.

Analysis: Don’t bet on the Lebanese Army to restrain Hezbollah  

Peloni:  The Lebanese lack agency as they lack any independence from their Iranian task masters in Tehran.  Iranian control of that captured nation will remain fixed til either some outside force frees them from the Shia control domination, something which is not likely to ever take place, or til the Mullahs controlling Lebanon as its vassal state are overthrown in Iran.  Hence, while the time to free Lebanon is at hand, it would require decisive action to take place in Iran, not in Lebanon.

By David Daoud | December 10, 2024

The Assad regime has fallen. Meanwhile, the dreaded Third Lebanon War, during which Israel gave Hezbollah an unprecedented drubbing, is either over or in a ceasefire-induced lull. But the Iranian-backed organization has neither been conclusively defeated nor is it past the point of regeneration. Recognizing this situation, the ceasefire deal’s drafter, US envoy Amos Hochstein, included safeguards ostensibly meant to prevent Hezbollah’s regeneration—to ensure, in his words, this would be the final Hezbollah-Israel war. However, Hochstein made a critical mistake, one that will likely prove fatal to his anticipated objectives: much like UN Security Council Resolution 1701, the latest agreement made action by the Lebanese government and Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) against Hezbollah the cornerstone of the ceasefire.
