If the Democratic Party does not remove the growing shame of the rise of Islamists within it, it will become a victim of it. And so will we all.
The US president does not want to “repeat the experiment” of another military campaign and would rather pressure Tehran through sanctions and an economic blockade. But Iran could conclude that escalation is preferable to surrender or economic collapse.

To outside observers, the United States’ conduct in its confrontation with Iran can appear aimless, erratic and even chaotic. President Donald Trump’s mood when he wakes up in the morning and starts posting online seems to dictate what happens on the ground: One day, the United States appears headed for an all-out offensive that would wipe Iran off the map; the next, it is pursuing an agreement; and the day after that, it is settling for an economic blockade.

To my dear friend Mike Huckabee,
No one doubts where your heart is. Your support for Israel is unwavering and historic.

For more than twenty years, I—and a small handful of colleagues—have warned about the lack of education—or worse, the obfuscation and dissembling—surrounding how the events of 9/11 are taught, if they are taught at all, in American schools.
“When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers. Allah said: ‘Strike above the neck, and strike at all of their extremities.’ (9/11 Muslim terrorists)
Peloni: Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev are leaving the Knesset as part of a major shakeup within the United Torah Judaism party, with MK Yaakov Asher expected to replace Gafni as the leader of the Degel HaTorah faction instead of MK Yitzhak Goldknopf who is currently leading the joint list in the Knesset. Yossi Baum‘s dire predictions for the national camp follows on this news.

Antisemites are in a permanent state of denial. They deny that there was ever a Holocaust. They deny that Jews have been oppressed through time and space. And now, those who hate the very idea of a Jewish state deny that Jews ever lived in the Land of Israel. But the archeological evidence tells a different story: it is full of mentions of ancient Israel, not only by Jews, but also by Egyptian pharaohs. More on the silent witnesses of the Jews’ connection to their land can be found here.
Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki joins Erin Molan and describes an important recent change in the Iranian behavior which belies a state of chaos if not panic taking place in Iran, just as Trump began calling for the Iranians return to the streets.

Many of the fears now burdening Jews emanate from their successes. These can be linked, to a great degree, to their famous ethnic performance in economic matters.
Some of that of course comes about because they were long considered outsiders and prohibited from other traditional means of economic activity. Many countries barred Jews from the professions, from owning land. They were not allowed to be farmers/herders, etc.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee fell for a staged incident during a Saturday visit to the Arab village of Turmus Ayya in Binyamin, publicly accusing Israelis on a nearby farm’s security patrol of being trespassers.

In the 6th Sep 2026 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:
Israel’s National Security Council warned this week that the threat of violent attacks targeting Israelis and Jews abroad is rising ahead of the Jewish High Holidays and the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack.
The assessment identified Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah and other jihadist groups, as the greatest sources of danger.

To those complaining that the economic and geopolitical war against the Iranian regime is taking too long: Your impatience betrays a fundamental ignorance of history.
Peloni: The enemy is inside the wire and they will use all means by which to subvert Western civilization into yet one more dhimmitude frontier. This must be made clear to all the potential dhimmis before their fate is made irreversible by their lack of awareness or lack of action. Recalling Trump’s call for the people to “Fight, fight, fight”, this is the most poignant battle which faces the world today, and to the victor will go the spoils of nothing less than the future fate of the world.

September 11, 2001, was just an ordinary Tuesday. That morning at around 8:30 a.m. on the east coast, most people were either at work or on their commute. Kids were settling in at school. On the west coast, folks were likely getting ready to do the same.
Peloni: Please read this response by Amishav Mellet to being labeled as a terrorist in a X post by Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Mellet is the brother of Benayahu Mellet HY”D who was recently murdered in a terror attack while defending a group of hikers and he is currently a member of a farm near where Huckabee uploaded a scathing one-sided tweet over the weekend.

An Open Letter to Ambassador Huckabee from the ‘Dangerous and Threating Settlers’
Peloni: Take note:
“Impoverishing Iran is not a victory. An authoritarian regime can ruin its country while retaining enough resources to protect those who keep it in power. Maximum pressure on the regime must therefore be matched by maximum support for the Iranian people.
That means preparing, before the next wave of protests, the tools needed to circumvent internet shutdowns, support independent Persian-language media, sanction those responsible for repression, and encourage defections from the security forces.”
The clock is ticking, and the economic leash is tightening around Iran, but the real threat to the regime remains to be with the will of the people of Iran. As is true of all regimes, the stability of the ruling govt requires a quiescent public, regardless of the tactics required to maintain it. Until the established balance between a fearful public and their despotic overlords is destabilized, the regime in Iran will remain. This is why Trump has been calling for the Iranian people to return to the streets. Until, and unless, they do return to the streets, US victory and a free Iran will remain elusive, with only Iran’s diminishing efforts on the Strait of Hormuz remaining to drive up energy costs to the extent they are able to do so. It is a geostrategic game of chicken in which the victor will be incredibly strengthened. America can not afford to lose this battle, but it ironically needs the support of the Iranian people to ultimately win.

In Europe, and especially in France, the verdict seems to be in. The United States, we are told, has pursued a strategy toward Iran that is as brutal as it is ineffective. It is bogged down in the Strait of Hormuz, unable to force an Iranian surrender, while Europeans bear much of the bill in higher energy costs, disrupted trade, and a renewed risk of escalation.
Peloni: In the past day, Iran has taken the initiative to attack the US with the US responding by striking Iranian oil tankers. Will matters escalate from here?

Peloni: I am reposting this article to include a dubbed version of Ben-Gvir’s own presentation of his plan.
Peloni [Originally posted Sept 3]
On Thursday, National Security Minister and Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir formally unveiled a policy plan to encourage Gaza Strip residents to emigrate voluntarily to countries willing to receive them. The policy measure is titled “Disengagement 710.”
Peloni: Well, we’ll see if this prediction about Amb. Tom Barrack proves prophetic. Trump has surrounded himself with people that he feels he can trust, so it is reasonable to conclude that Barrack’s fate lies in the balance of Trump’s trust in him being shaken. Many like to assume that Trump is controlled by the last person who spoke to him or spoke for him, but I find that this is far from a fair assessment of Trump’s competence and character. So, despite the Barrack’s obtusely pro Turkish comments, he has held Trump’s confidence over the past two years while holding obtusely pro Turkish positions. His most recent overstep clearly crossed the line, and this is evident with him having found himself having to restate his comments and then being recalled to Washington in any event. So time will tell if we have seen the last of Tom Barrack in his current role, but the pro-Turkey policy which has been pronounced over the past two years is not likely to change even if the US Ambassador to Turkey does.

On September 1, President Trump posted a message asking a question that deserves a direct answer:
“When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?”
Peloni: The Evian Conference was an international conference held in Évian-les-Bains, France, from July 6–15, 1938, at the initiative of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Representatives from 32 countries met to discuss the growing refugee crisis created by Nazi Germany’s persecution of Jews and other groups, particularly following the Anschluss of Austria in March 1938. What followed was an indictment of the world’s complicity in the Holocaust. Most notable, however, was the role played by Perfidious Albion in blocking Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine, which had been designated by international law as the homeland of the Jewish people in their ancient homeland, while the Jews of Europe were instead abandoned to be slaughtered.
