Trump Lays Down the Law on Antisemitism in Universities  

All American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation, President-elect Donald Trump promised during a rally against antisemitism in Washington.

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.

A Brief History of Muslim Kidnapping  

By Sha’i ben-TBy Sha’i ben-Tekoaekoa | Am Thinker | December 5, 2024

On November 27, 2024, at four in the morning in the Holy Land, the government of Israel agreed to cease attacking the Shiite Muslims in southern Lebanon. At the end of the speech explaining the plan to the people of Israel, PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has a “sacred mission of releasing our hostages,” using religious language befitting a region famous for its religions.

Indeed, the oldest book still in use in the world, the Jewish Bible, contains arguably the oldest record of hostage-taking. Abraham, the progenitor of the Jewish people, had a nephew named Lot. Lot was living not in Sodom but nearby when an alliance of five communities warred against an alliance of four. During the fight, Lot was kidnapped (Genesis 14:14-15).

Wurmser Provides a Deep Dive on Israel’s Strategic Outlook  

Peloni:  This is a very important video with David Wurmser.  Wurmser explains that Israel must pursue a quick completion of eliminating the Iranian threat so it can shift to dealing with the Islamist threats emerging in the post-Ayatollah world.  He once again addresses the feckless nature of Sisi’s ‘alliance’ with Israel while also noting that the Abraham Accords partners are not willing to openly support Israel in a meaningful way.  He explains that by quickly bringing the regime in Tehran to a speedy end, Israel will be far more successful move for Israel and will likely result in far more substantive peace treaties for Israel than making strategic sacrifices to placate potential peace partners.

Peace thru strength leads peace, while peace thru weakness leads to war.

Boulos Reveals Vision For The Region  

Peloni:  The claim made below suggesting that there is no significant military presence by Hamas in Gaza while Israel continues its “relentless seige” demonstrates a clear bias on Boulos’ part to preserve what remains of Hamas going forward, as it is in fact against Hamas that Israel’s actions in the North are directed against.  For such a key member of Trump’s inner circle to hold such an ill informed opinion, is particularly concerning.  Recalling how impossible it was for Trump to fire his son in law during his first term, this presents an importantly worrisome outlook for Trump’s administration, even with the many important allies of Israel staffing many key positions.  Trump should not have picked Boulos.

EXCLUSIVE. Massad Boulos, Donald Trump’s new Middle East advisor and father of one of the president’s sons-in-law, reveals in an interview @LePoint his vision for the region, which shakes things up in #Lebanon, #Gaza, #Israel & #Iran .
A THREAD

SON-IN-LAW. Massad Boulos, 53, is a Lebanese-American businessman who built his fortune selling cars in Nigeria. He was thrust into Donald Trump’s inner circle after his son Michael Boulos married Tiffany Trump, one of the US president’s daughters, in 2022.

VISION. «The vision is to achieve lasting peace in the Middle East », says Massad Boulos in his exclusive interview with @LePoint, describing a region that « has been suffering for a long time ». « We have four years of work and we hope to achieve something that will be sustainable for the future and generations to come. »

SCOTUS Deliberates Trans-Mutilation of Children  

Peloni:  I can’t conceive of anyone embracing anything so thoroughly evil as the mutilation of children.  The societal movement which advocates on behalf of such a specific tragedy should be shunned, delegitimized and prosecuted.

Peter Navaro to become Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing  

Peloni:  Peter Navarro is one of the great appointments which Trump made in his first term as President.  His loyalty to the constitution, the American public and to the president himself, none of which posed any conflicts, provided the nation with a voice of clarity and honesty, for which he was duly persecuted.  It is greatly satisfying to see that Navarro will once be serving in the second Trump White House.  Now let us see where Trump will place Flynn.

The Long Failure of the Left  

by Norman Berdichevsky (December 2024)

Self-portrait, Prague (Peter Kien, 1936)

Eric Rozenman’s recent book, Jews Make the Best Demons (New English Review Press,2018), is a depressing reminder of the reality of renewed anti-Semitism to a degree unimaginable to those of us whose parents agonized through the 1930s. We grew up secure in the belief that the Allied victory in World War II had ended this insane carry-over of hatred from the Middle Ages with its long tradition of religious bigotry. How wrong we were!

Freeing the Israeli HOSTAGES in Gaza – December 4 IDSF Daily Briefing  

Peloni:  Must see video.  As usual, Martin Sherman eliminates routine delusions as he discusses reality on a range of topics.  He insists that Egypt must allow the Gazans refuge from the war, and if needed Israel should focus relentless pressure upon Egypt to allow the Gazans enter Egypt of secure lives elsewhere, and that Israel should extend sovereignty over Gaza entirely..  He explains that the incoming Trump govt is far more hawkish than the Israeli govt and that Netanyahu should harness this reality in dealing with the intolerable situation of the Gazans who are collectively culpable for the horrors of October 7.  Much more discussed as well.

The mainstreaming of Islamic extremism  

Progressives rationalize tenets that justify atrocities against Jews and destroying a sovereign democratic state, while they cheer Hamas for resisting an “occupation” that only exists in the minds of leftists, terrorists, and Palestinian Arab revisionists.

Islamist Swastika  protester

After the horrific events of last year and the war that followed, Hamas was finally recognized as a genocidal terror organization – but only by some and only for a moment. The global community almost immediately cast Hamas in a conciliatory light by contextualizing its brutality as “resistance to occupation,” though Israel withdrew from Gaza nearly twenty years ago.

Gulf countries talk like Iran, act like Israel  

The GCC rhetoric on Israel masks its true aims to decouple Syria’s Assad and the Islamic Republic and declaw Hezbollah in Lebanon

Hussain Abdul-Hussain | FDD |December 3, 2024

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) held its annual summit in Kuwait on Sunday and issued a statement that sounded like Iran in thrashing Israel, but that aligned with the Jewish state in opposing the Islamic Republic’s troublemaking behavior. However, for the Gulf “wish list” to come true, Gulf countries need to end the discrepancy between their rhetoric and policy. If the Gulf wants Iran reined in, they’d be well advised to openly side with Israel.

The dichotomy might have resulted from the GCC incorporating the contradictory policies of its six member states. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is closest to Israel. Qatar is the closest to Iran. Saudi Arabia is more naturally allied with the UAE. Oman is with Qatar. Kuwait, indebted to America for liberating it from Saddam Hussein’s army but now under the spell of a surging Islamist wave, is in the middle.

The CIA Keeps Popping Up In The Biden-Ukraine Saga

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is linked throughout the Biden-Ukraine entanglements, from Trump’s first impeachment to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

Back in 2019, the then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella anonymously accused Trump of demanding an investigation into Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine in exchange for military aid, according to Real Clear Investigations.

NATO Ally Erdogan Looks Forward to West’s Collapse  

Peloni:  The perspective which the incoming Trump administration adopts with regards to Erdogan’s Islamist regime will significantly affect the success of Trump’s Mid East policy objectives.

And he touts Islam’s “human-centered civilization” over the West’s “blood, tears, massacres and exploitation.”

by

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan doesn’t much like the United States or Europe, and passionately hates Israel, and so it’s not particularly surprising when he looks forward with happy anticipation to the collapse of Western civilization. What is a trifle surprising is that despite Erdogan’s ever-lengthening record of bellicosity toward and contempt for the West, as well as his re-Islamization of Turkey, the Turkish Republic remains in NATO and continues to be regarded in Washington as a reliable ally. Given the unreality and refusal to face facts that characterizes official Washington, however, even that is worth only the brief raising of one eyebrow. Erdogan has made quite clear which side he is on. The “experts” in Washington are willfully blind.

The 1701 double-scam  

Just because something is not implemented, does not mean that it is worth implementing. Resolution 1701 is a fraud shielded behind the fraud of its non-implementation. Ehud Olmert pulled the first scam; the Biden regime is pulling the second. The victims of this double-scam are the Israeli people.

ANJULI PANDAVAR

Former US President Bill Clinton unwittingly highlighted the greatest double-scam ever pulled on the Israeli people: that the Palestinians want a state; and that they negotiated for it in the “peace process”. According to Clinton:

The only time Yasser Arafat didn’t tell me the truth, was when he promised me he was going to accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem. They would have the—I can hardly talk about this—and they would have equal access, all day, every day, to the security towns that Israel maintained all through the West Bank up to the Golan Heights, all this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and two of the four quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and his Cabinet, and they said, “No,” and I think part of it is that Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians.
