The Times of Israel blog post by Esther Braun is a sophisticated and necessary piece of analysis. It shifts the lens away from the daily skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz and focuses on the longer-term strategic chess game the IRGC is playing in Africa. She argues that while the world watches Iran bleed in the Persian Gulf, the regime is quietly building a “shadow infrastructure” in Sudan to preserve its ability to threaten global shipping lanes for years to come.

Peloni:  This revelation is so unrevealing that while it is a concerning development, the development is far from surprising that a radicalized population would elect radicals as their leaders.  Welcome to the Reformed PA…What is most disturbing about the radicalism within the PA, both in its population, its society and teaching/religious institutions, and its leadership, is that its role as an American equity has yet to change.  Washington’s dependency upon this corrupt personification of evil as its proxy among the Muslims in Judea and Samaria provides a mendacious outlook on which the future is intended to be based.  We live in revolutionary times, so is it really too revolutionary for Washington to awaken to the fact that the Frankenstein monster of the PA upon which the American Peace Processors have based their hopes, has no interest in peace, but rather, the PA, its emerging newly elected leaders, and the Muslim population which they represent, have no interest in peace and every interest in war and terror.  Until Washington gives up its dependency on practicing the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again, Jews will die needlessly, and the lives of the Muslims in Judea and Samaria will fail to be improved in any way.  This is because Jew Hatred, rather than self preservation or self improvement, is their greatest common cause.  This is the fundamental truth which Washington consistently ignores.  Until the recurring folly changes, nothing will change precisely because nothing has changed.

A new investigation by the Research and Information Department of the Yesha Council has exposed a shocking but entirely predictable reality. In the most recent local elections in the Palestinian Authority, a series of mayors and public officials were elected who are deeply involved in severe incitement and the open glorification of terrorism.

Peloni:  Nick Fuentes and Lucas Gage each claim to have been approached by Dan Bilzerian under similar circumstances about potential assassination plots against Israeli Ministers and Ben Shapiro, respectively.  Well, thank goodness there isn’t a Jew among the bunch or these reports would be gaining far more notoriety by many.  Will the FBI be investigating this?

I remember who Dan Bilzerian @DanBilzerian went to Dubai and Qatar with…

Summary of a excellent, comprehensive 4/29/26 MEMRI report (link below)

The U.S. has been betrayed by Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Oman (as well as the European NATO members, who have foolishly sacrificed their own security in the face of the threat from Iranian missiles).

Peloni:  While the talk of victory has been a consistent theme since October 7, where is the path which will take us from where we are to that precious promise where the butchers and enablers of October 7 will be eliminated, both for the calumny which they wrought on the Jews of the Gaza Envelop on October 7, and the threat which they pose at doing the same again for all the people of Israel.

Talk of remaking the region requires a vision that goes beyond more war on multiple fronts. If Israel can’t get to the next stage, then the years of war may have been wasted. 

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | MAY 7, 2026

As Iran and the US appear to be seeking an agreement that could see the Strait of Hormuz open and Iran’s nuclear program addressed, it remains unclear what Israel’s strategy will be going forward. Israel has been fighting a multifront war since the October 7 massacre. Hamas essentially enabled Iran to coordinate a larger series of attacks against Israel. Iran brought in Hezbollah, the Houthis, and militias in Iraq.

The war that began on October 7, 2023, has now gone through several phases. The initial phase for Israel was focused on recovering from the huge losses on the day itself and preparing for a large war.

Janet Levy:  Between the nationwide civilizational jihad operations and the CCP’s United Front Works infiltration of the U.S., our future as a free nation is hanging by a thread.

Why did Trump invite an additional 600,000 Chinese “students” to the U.S.? Why didn’t he designate the U.S., Qatari and Turkish branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations?

Deleted files, a Huawei cloud link to China’s security apparatus, and a Chinatown hall bearing a Ministry of Public Security banner. The federal trial of Harry Lu commences.

The Bureau | May 8, 2026

A six-story glass-clad building in Manhattan’s Chinatown — wedged between a hotel, a spicy Fuzhou noodle shop and a business billed as a high-end private spa — became this week the unlikely center of one of the most revealing federal trials yet of how Beijing’s security apparatus has allegedly embedded itself inside American society.

Peloni:  In the article linked below,Jonathan S. Tobin, Editor in Chief of JNS, describes the plight of the pro-Israel base in America as the tide of antisemitism rising in the United States today is seen to be tied to the unwillingness to confront Islamist extremism. The manufactured charge of “Islamophobia” is employed to to suppress criticism of both antisemitic rhetoric as well as the organizations connected to Islamist movements in America, particularly groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR. Tobin correctly calls out the failure of both Republican and Democratic approaches for downplaying these concerns, but notes that the future of the GOP support for Israel will largely depend on whether it can address antisemitism and Islamist influence without cowering behind the Woke standard of political correctness which of course works hand in hand to maximize the effect of the faux charge of “Islamophobia” while defending antisemites for their antisemitism.  In recognizing this fact, Tobin continues his analysis by raising the fact that by failing to defend against antisemitism, the Republican both abandon the Jews as well as their standards in facing down Wokism.  Defeating the rising tide of antisemitic not only defends Jews against their oppressors, but it simultaneously defends Americans from the demonization and abandonment of those values and standards which define America as well as the movement to make America Great Again.

When dissent becomes a strategy of communal self-erasure and double standards, it becomes pathology. Opinion.

Dr. Alex Grobman | May 3, 2026

Peter Beinart’s latest New York Times essay warns about the way Tucker Carlson speaks about Israel and Jewishness. Beinart himself noted that the essay appeared in the Times this week under the title “What Tucker Carlson Means When He Talks About Israel.” On the surface, the concern is not absurd. Jews should never allow antisemites, isolationists, or conspiracy theorists to define Jewish identity.

After a wave of Islamic mob attacks and riots aimed at Jewish synagogues and communities in New York City that began after the Oct 7 and many of which were titled ‘Flood’ echoing the name used by Hamas for those attacks, the state’s top prosecutor finally took action.

Peloni:  Another must read article by Victor Satya, in which he describes the institutionalization which exists in England to strip antisemitic attacks of their violent nature and relegate it towards something altogether normative.  The outlook for England Jewish minority is disturbingly grim just in regards to the exponentially dominating numbers of Jihadists which have been imported to England.  Layering on top of this is the disquieting attitude of the English media and authorities which requires terrorists while caught in the midst of their terrorism be subdued with care and consideration for the would be butcher being apprehended.  This presents a reality which is more than dystopian, as it is simply cognitive dissonance on a generalized authoritative level.

Why So Many Jewish New Yorkers View Zohran Mamdani With Alarm

Everyone refers to Zohran Mamdani as a socialist, or even a communist. But for many within New York’s Jewish population, there is far more at issue than his economics. The concern is not merely about taxes, rent control, or public spending. It is about the ideological world he comes from, the political causes he has embraced, and the moral language he uses when speaking about Israel and the Jewish state.

Janet Levy: Georgetown Law School students petitioned against having a Jewish economist speak at their commencement – 42% of the graduating class (282/670).  The speaker was replaced by a pro-Palestinian law professor who, soon after the October 7th Massacre, criticized the ADL and the Brandeis Center for Human Rights for their calls to “investigate, disband, or penalize pro-Palestinian student groups for exercising their free speech rights.”

Obviously violent protests and the intimidation of Jewish students and professors on campus does not fall under the umbrella of First Amendment protections for expressing an opinion, however odious.

This announcement follows on the heels of an event at Berkeley Law School in which students cheered a Palestinian suicide bomber who was invited to speak and a commencement speaker at the University of Michigan who praised pro-Palestinian protesters.
