What Greenland teaches us About Israel’s borders  

Security is not a slogan; it is a capability. 

Moshe Phillips | Am Thinker | January 19, 2026

 

President Trump is saying it plainly — and repeatedly — right now: Greenland matters because security matters. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s near daily threats toward Taiwan, including flying military aircraft near its airspace and rehearsing naval blockades, are just two obvious examples. This much should be obvious: the United States can defend Greenland. Denmark, an extremely small nation of roughly six million people, cannot.

US envoy calls on Kurds to integrate with ‘unified Syrian gov’t,’ says rationale for US alliance has ‘shifted’  

Peloni: American betrayal of the Kurds is now complete as the US trades the Kurds out in preference of the Al-Queda-in-a-Suit Jolani to handle its outsourcing opposition to Isis.

New ceasefire will give Kurds 4 days to deliberate on integration agreement

The U.S. envoy for Syria said the U.S. is shifting the focus of its anti-ISIS alliance from the Kurds to the new Syrian government, as the two sides agreed Tuesday on a new ceasefire after a previous truce collapsed amid heavy clashes in the northeast.

The Jewish Test  

Peloni:  A fascinating analysis by Mike Doran in which he analyzes the connection and role of Jews in American society thru the lens in which Jews were accepted in America, as compared to their being cursed in Europe.  Upon this he layers the assault on Jews by Tucker Carlson, MTG, Candace Owens and others as a opportunistic attempt to weave the historic European attitude towards Jews into American society.  In doing so, he warns that the very gains which America came to benefit and thrive from its equitable embrace of Jews will instead be shunted into the lap of America’s greatest enemies.  Thus not only would America lose its strategic Jewish partnership by embracing Carlson’s call to adopt the European animus of Jews, but it would also see the fruits of Jewish ingenuity and perseverance which has played a pivotal role in America enable America’s enemies to do the same, just at a point in which America can ill afford to survive in its Great Game power competition with China.

History has already run the experiment that Tucker Carlson and his friends are urging upon us. The results are not favorable for America.

What price friendship?  

Turkish representation on a Board of Peace, the continued involvement of Qatar in Gaza reconstruction plans and the reasserting of Hamas are not conducive to peace on Israel’s border.

Sarah N. Stern | Jan 20, 2025

These words are taken, word-for-word, from the Hamas Charter of 1988: “Israel will exist and continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” (Preamble)

Israel’s Post-October 7 Response Delivers Strategic Gains Throughout the Middle East and North Africa  

While the world clamors for a Palestine governed by the terrorist group Hamas Israel makes inroads with Somaliland — a peaceful, stable state in North Africa.

Janet Levy | Am Thinker | January 20, 2026

Image generated by ChatGPT.

While the world clamors for a Palestine governed by the terrorist group Hamas, it has, for more than three decades, overlooked Somaliland — a peaceful, stable state in North Africa. In December last year, Israel became the first country to recognize Somaliland since it separated from Somalia in 1991. Beyond diplomacy, Israel has formed strategic ties with Somaliland, whose coast overlooks the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a chokepoint between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, through which $1 trillion in global shipping passes annually.

Report: European powers dropping out of Trump’s Gaza mission  

Peloni:  This article explains the growing recognition of failure within the American plan to commercialize peace while ignoring significant benchmarks and including obvious bad actors as stakeholders in peace.  The question remains whether this will be acknowledged by the Trump administration as they move toward the vital midterm elections carrying the cue card of Trump having secured ‘Peace in the Middle East’.

American allies likely to end cooperation with US forces in Israel charged with supervising operations in Gaza, with diplomats calling the mission “directionless.”

Fatah shares Hamas’s goal to destroy Israel  

Peloni:  The Palestinian Authority is an American equity.  They have been funded, trained and equipped by the US, all while they have maintained faith with their Fatah ideology to destroy Israel and kill Jews.  America has never required their proxy in Area A to change their ideology, making US complicity in this terrorist organization all the more disturbing.  Even today, the US fails to disown the PA, and instead challenges that it should be ‘reformed’  when in fact it should be disbanded, defunded, demilitarized and its leadership should be prosecuted for the exercise, support and funding of terrorism which the US failed to address over the years.

Much of the international community has clung to the fiction that Hamas and Fatah are different—that Hamas is irredeemably extremist, while Fatah, which dominates the Palestinian Authority, is flawed but pragmatic.

Western European Evil  

Avi Abelow

Western Europe has perfected a dangerous moral fraud. It loudly accuses Israel, the Jewish state fighting for its life in a region of evil jihadi Islam, of war crimes, genocide, and “unacceptable violence,” while simultaneously burying its own historical and present-day atrocities under layers of silence, legal immunity, and media protection.

Denmark, yes, little Denmark, is a textbook case.

In the midst of Israel’s defensive war against the Iranian/Qatari supported Hamas jihadists in Gaza, after the October 7th massacre, rape spree, and mass kidnappings of Jews, the Danish prime minister declared Israel’s actions “unacceptable.”

The Real Reason Trump Cancelled The Strike on Iran is Worse Than You Think  

Peloni:  This is an important video which describes the system setup by the US in the Middle East which was derailed with the US supported overthrow of the Shah of Iran.  It describes the Petro-Dollar system, and why Saudi Arabia has been held in such high esteem over the years that their role in 9-11 was hidden for twenty years by the US govt.  It also explains why America and Saudi Arabia are no longer entirely aligned as the Kingdom has turned towards China.  Most importantly, the indispensable role which is played by Israel in connection to the Saudis is explained in the wake of Israel turning towards greater independence from America.

Israel keeps Rafah border crossing closed amid disagreement with US over inclusion of Turkey & Qatar in Gaza board  

Peloni:  This ‘peace deal’ continues to be built against Israel’s interests with little interest in securing peace.  Additionally, the reported statements coming from Washington demonstrate a clear animus against Netanyahu, with Netanyahu’s own recriminations over the unveiling details of the deal indicating that these reports are likely accurately reported.  We are looking at a worrisome structure being invented in Gaza, as Trump places the Muslim Brotherhood affiliates into the Board of Peace, and pushes to have their armed forces on Israel’s southern border, even as the Turkish puppet, Jolani, is being allowed to conquer the Kurds north of Israel without any serious restraint from the US.  Has the meaning of the word ‘peace’ been rewritten?

Concerns in Israel that the failure to disarm Hamas could lead to the collapse of the peace plan

You wouldn’t think Vladimir Putin, the BBC, and the National Education Association have much in common. But in recent weeks, they have demonstrated that they share a peculiar understanding of the Holocaust—one which omits the Jews.

Witkoff: “Hamas Wants Peace”  

Peloni:  Insanity based upon a lack of any modicum of independent or even slightly intelligent inspection.  At some point, someone in power in Washington will realize that Jidadists don’t want a good life, and they don’t want peace.  They seek conquest and submission, and they are willing to kill you and to die themselves in pursuit of this goal.  And yes, they lie too…

“They want what everybody else in this world wants — just a good life.”

by

Steve Witkoff (Photo By Unknown author – Facebook, Public Domain, Wikipedia)

The failed ‘ceasefire’ (in which the fire never actually ceased) was premised on Hamas disarming. As anyone with any common sense warned, Hamas would not disarm. And no one would force it to disarm. That hasn’t stopped Steven Witkoff from pushing on with imaginary plans based on fantasies about how Hamas really wants peace despite decades of evidence otherwise.
