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.

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.

Peloni:  Great discussion of recent events covering Trump’s election, Gallant’s firing, as well as the emerging scandal and possible motivation surrounding a recent intelligence leak.

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.

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?

Leonard Grunstein | Nov 8, 2024

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

• This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.

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.

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.

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:

The terrorists’ window of opportunity will close when Trump is inaugurated

In the wake of the US election results, the clock is ticking for Iran and Iranian-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. The days between now and the President-elect Trump’s inauguration in January will be essential to watch as countries linked to Iran and the Iranian-backed terrorist groups begin to consider their options and how the US election may shift the outcomes they are expecting. They have got used to terrorising the Middle East and destabilising the world. The US election could cause them to de-escalate and declare ceasefires in the long term.

Peloni:  Always an insightful perspective to be gained from Pandavar.  Pay particular attention to the second to last paragraph.  

In the same way the Abraham Accords broke the taboo on marginalising the Palestinian Arabs, so Netanyahu’s $5 million offer will break the taboo on abandoning the struggle.

ANJULI PANDAVAR | Nov 7, 2024

The ummah united will never be divided, insha-Allah

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to be planning to offer anyone who is currently holding any of the 101 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza five million dollars for each hostage they release. Officials are supposedly working on publishing the official offer on various platforms in order to convince those holding the hostages to release them, promising that in return they will receive five million dollars for each hostage, as well as freedom of passage for the purpose of exile to a third country. (Arutz7)

There are several dimensions to this offer that are unlikely to be discussed in the public domain.

Peloni:  A key want from Russia is to finally have a pan-European security arrangement which includes rather than isolates Russia.  The problem with this is, and always has been, that NATO as the existing European security arrangement, is a US dominated organization, and US fears of Russia having more relevance than America in a European security arrangement has maintained this anti-Soviet organization in place some thirty years after the Russians themselves laid to rest the Soviet Union.  It will be interesting to see how Trump squares this knot, but there is an ever increasing benefit to be had with strengthening, or at least creating, ties with Russia rather than continuing to press them further into China’s pocket, so to speak.

Trump may be more than willing to trade with the Russians on NATO in exchange for less punitive demands on Ukraine.

There are a growing number of reports on what the forthcoming Trump administration will do domestically and what policy approach it will have globally.  There have been a number of comments, some of them coming from administration wannabes, on what President-elect Trump should do about Ukraine.

Trump promised during the campaign that he would end the war in Ukraine pretty quickly once he took office.  He has hinted he would do this by engaging Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky.  Beyond that we have a guessing game.
