Peloni:  The obvious need of judicial reform has made itself apparent in every phase of Israeli society and most particularly throughout the war.

Two flares were fired at the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea on Saturday evening. Although Netanyahu was not at home, and no one was injured in the incident, Justice Minister Yariv Levin used the incident to call for a resumption of the controversial legislation which led to massive protests last year.

As he heads for the exit, President Biden is easing sanctions on Hamas and Hezbollah — while sanctioning Jews in Israel.

Under pressure from Israel-bashing critics, including scores of congressional Democrats, a president who stood firmly behind Israel after the Oct. 7 massacre seems to have lost his moral compass.

And just as President Barack Obama in his last months in office allowed the UN Security Council to pass a resolution slamming Israel, Biden may use sanctions to further turn the screws on the Jewish state in his lame-duck stretch.

Peloni:  Trump’s victory is in fact a point of revolution which will be strongly resisted over the next four years but whatever victories might be achieved in that time will be felt over the next several generations.

Jeffrey A. Tucker | November 16, 2024

People are out and about, smiling at each other. It’s been true since the morning after the election, the results of which defied every prediction. Who doesn’t like to see the smug elites who have ruled the world for five awful years taken down a peg?

More than that, there are hints of a return to sanity. Mainstream advertisers are suddenly returning to X, putting their economic interest above their tribalist loyalties. The editor of pro-lockdowns Scientific American, which had long blessed totalitarian measures as true science, has resigned.

A few days ago I went to a lecture at a Synagogue in Montreal called, “The American Elections and What It Means for North American Jewry and Israel,” by Professor David M. Shribman, a Jewish Montreal born dual citizen of Canada and the USA,  distinguished professor of politics, with an impressive academic record as well as experience as a political journalist.

Trump cannot be bought, but his advisors can.  Tom Homan

It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus, doubled agents are recruited and used. Sun Tzu

President Donald Trump has already declared what he plans to do.  He expressed his objectives over and over again in every rally.  He also promised to cancel all restrictions of arms shipments to Israel, already blessing our nation. We were overjoyed listening to him during those rallies, horrified at the assassination attempts and failure to protect him, and ultimately thrilled with the election results.

We said a resounding “NO” to the Stalinist Democrat Party’s promotion of inflation, border invasion, endless wars, presidents who try to jail their opponents, the celebration of infanticide and surgical mutilations of our children.

Peloni:  Sometimes war is not the only way forward, but on occasion, war will be the only way way forward.  Being able to distinguish between these two sets of circumstances is the true test of leadership.  Regime change in Tehran is necessary for both Israel and the US.  Should Trump fail to recognize  and act on this fact, it will continue to endanger both these great nations.

After the success Donald Trump enjoyed negotiating the Abraham Accords towards the end of his first term in office, which saw a number of leading Arab states normalise relations with Israel, it is widely expected that his new administration will want to pursue a similar policy of ending hostilities in the Middle East.

• The October 7, 2023 attacks carried out against Israel by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists…. was the direct result of Tehran’s ability to fund the terrorist movement to the tune of $100 million a year, an operation that would not have been possible without Biden’s lenient attitude towards the ayatollahs.

In recent years, Iran steadily built up Hezbollah’s arsenal in Lebanon and Syria by shipping weapons, flying them in, and transporting them by truck. Weapons consignments arrived at ports and airports and were stored at warehouses in both countries before being distributed to Hezbollah units. Israel has sought to disrupt the flow of weapons, chiefly by bombing raids on targets in Syria (including the port of Latakia and the airport in Damascus). Since Hezbollah joined Hamas and opened a second front against Israel on October 8, 2023, Israel has hit targets in Lebanon as well. But Israel’s efforts to degrade and destroy Hezbollah’s arsenal and disrupt Iran’s efforts to resupply it have dramatically increased in tempo since September 28, the day after Israel eliminated Hezbollah’s late leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Peloni:  This is a fascinating read!

If Muslim holy days are repeatedly violated, the jihad army draws down onto itself the humiliating reputation of being unable to defend the sanctity of the holy days, or to punish those who violate such sanctity.

ANJULI PANDAVAR | Nov 15, 2024

Editorial note: Having been a Muslim for the early part of my life, I now do all I can to help save Jews from the Holocaust the Muslims have in store for them. Most maddening about these efforts has been the absolute refusal, not to say inability, of almost every Jew I’ve spoken to, to even consider what I’m saying. Their responses never reference reality, but always their own moral precepts or self-referential opinions. I have even encountered abuse from Jews.

This is what Trump will do with #UAE

Trump’s goal will be to curb the UAE’s meddling in the areas it has been involved in. He will remind President #Mohammed_Bin_Zayed of his modest position in the region and hold the UAE and others accountable for any violations committed in the past four years.

Peloni:  The Old Conception required significant policies to be based on fantasy rather than reality.  The “deal” being pushed on Israel requires a resurgence of this Old Conception foundation, and for Israel to accept doing so would be the greatest of follies.  Reject the deal.

This clown show is precisely the “deal” that Team Obama is pushing on Israel: File a complaint, we’ll relay it to UNIFIL and the LAF.

Israel should reject the very dumb idea of a “deal.” https://t.co/jwSVk11rtY
