  • Even with generous assumptions for counting weapons transfers to Israel, and restrictive assumptions for weapons transfers to Israel’s enemies, the latter are still getting six times more US weapons than Israel, in dollar terms.

Indian Prime Minister Modi Lands in Israel for Historic Visit  

Peloni: Israel has an important commonality to India, which has no history of being motivated by instinctive hatred of Jews.  These two democratic ethnically identified nations each stand under constant threat of attack from Islamic regimes, and have long established defense, trade and technology ties.  Look forward to this trip strengthening these ties and expanding them as well.

Turkey’s expanding partnerships across the Middle East signal a strategic shift that could reshape regional power balances.

Peace Council Raises Unanswered Questions About Palestinian Authority Policies And Education  

Peloni:  Without educational reform, there can be no peace because education is a major, but not the only, source of incitement against the Jews in the cradle to the grave effort to demonize and deligitimize the Jewish people.

Should Israel Take Over Gaza? Discussed By Meir Weinstein & Meir Jolovitz  

Peloni: Meir Weinstein & Meir Jolovitz discuss how Israel was successful in losing two wars in Gaza simultaneously.  To ask the question of whether Israel should take over Gaza is to answer it.

Gaza is an integral part of Jewish lands, and has been so for thousands of years and this fact was confirmed by Gaza being included in the lands recognized under the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine as the reconstitution of the Jewish State.  The great betrayal of the 2005 Expulsion of Jews from Gaza continues to be illegal, untenable, and ill advised.  This great tragedy of the modern age must be avenged in the form of re-integrating this land into the Jewish state, not providing it as a gift to a cabal of international interests which will have no right to the land and no interest in providing any security for Israel while occupying this lost limb of the Jewish State.  Bring Gaza home to the people whose graves were forcibly ripped from the ground, rebuild the cities and towns which were leveled, and expel the terror from Gaza once and for all.  So yes,  Israel should take over Gaza.

Qatar’s School Curriculum – Anti-“Infidel” and Pro-Jihad  

Peloni:  Wherein lies the interest for America to have allies which are focused on the destruction and conquest of America?

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: US-Israel Initiative” | February 24, 2026

* While the United Arab Emirates uprooted all anti-Jewish and anti-Israel elements from its school curriculum, the Friday mosque sermons, and its official media – replacing them with pro-Jewish and pro-Israel elements – Qatar has sustained its anti-“infidel”, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel school curriculum, consistent with its Friday incitement mosque sermons and controlled media.

It’s Now Official: American Betrayal of Its Loyal, Valiant Kurdish Allies is Underway…

Well, The Donald’s done did it, and I was truly hoping I’d be proven wrong, and that he would not repeat what President George H. W. Bush shamefully committed against America’s most loyal allies in the Middle East (besides Israel) during the first Gulf war in 1990-1991.

After a ceasefire went into effect, he ordered General “Stormin’ Norman” Schwarzkopf to merely stand down and watch as thousands of Kurds were ruthlessly massacred by Saddam’s Arab forces.

DEVASTATING Israeli FOIA Exposes Unprecedented Surge in Teen Heart Attacks Following COVID Jab  

Peloni:  A very important peer-reviewed article by Ophir et al reveals devastating evidence of significant cardiac damage following the vaccination rollout for Covid 19 beginning in December 19, 2020. As noted by Ophir et al, the recently released (September 17, 2025) data set by Israel’s largest health organization, which serves more than half the country, we knew of an early warning of “a large number of myocarditis and pericarditis cases in young individuals” on February 28, 2021.  Despite the potentially devastating consequences resulting from the use of a vaccine on the general public, it took six months before any published peer-reviewed literature on this topic, all of which characterized the cardiac events following vaccination to be being the mild, transient and rare.  This current study includes, for the first time, the 279,300 adverse events reports which were never processed as the Covid vaccines were being administered, and therefore were also not considered in the research claiming that the cardiac risk was marginal.  As the authors of the current study explain:

“This brief research report uncovers real-time safety data from Israel (often described as the “world’s laboratory” due to its early and extensive vaccination campaign) that were not disclosed to the public during the critical decision-making period of mid-2021 [13]. These data could have materially informed contemporaneous risk–benefit assessments, particularly with respect to adolescents, and may have warranted age-stratified reconsideration of vaccination policy. “

By Sean Adl-Tabatabai | Lioness of Judah Ministry | February 22, 2026

A devastating Freedom of Information bombshell from Israel has ripped the lid off the biggest cover-up yet: the COVID jab triggered a massive wave of heart attacks in healthy teenagers.

THE MASK ALWAYS SLIPS  

By Kelleigh Nelson

The hate that begins with Jews never ends with Jews. Rabbi Jonathan Sachs

After the horrifying Hamas atrocities, I was disgusted with the moral relativism and clear antisemitism being displayed around the world in so many of our institutions, particularly the media, elite academia, the UN, and tragically in the US House of Representatives. Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter John Ondrasik

If I am to understand that you are inquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.  My great-great grandfather came to England from Germany in the Eighteenth Century…. of impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride…  I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully, J.R.R. Tolkien. This was written in a letter to his British publisher, Stanley Unwin, refusing to work with the German publishing house.

The Trouble With the Board of Peace  

16 Muslim countries, 10 non-Muslim countries and $10 billion in taxpayer money.

Daniel Greenfield | Feb 23, 2026

The problem with the United Nations wasn’t its blue color scheme: it was that globalism doesn’t work. The UN rebooted the already useless League of Nations and eventually expanded its membership to every third world dictatorship until the roster was so full of Marxist and Muslim countries (and Islamomarxist ones) that it had become an anti-American organization.
