There’s MUCH MORE to the San Diego Mosque Shooting
Janet Levy: There’s much more to the San Diego mosque shooting…
The perpetrators who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD) hated Jews and blacks, as their writings reveal.
The ICSD imam and several congregants assisted and financially supported Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the 9/11 hijackers, who were regular worshippers at the mosque, and celebrated the Hamas killers who carried out the October 7th Massacre.
Extremist Wahhabi literature calling for intolerance, hatred of non-Muslims, and jihad was found in the mosque.

Israeli minister: Turkey should be treated as an ‘enemy state,’ could become Israel’s next major adversary
By | May 21, 2026

Given Israel and America’s war with Iran, it is unsettling to contemplate the ramifications of any confrontation with Turkey. This is precisely why it isn’t prudent to enable obvious enemies of the West to escalate tensions with states that are our allies in the first place. Turkey as a member of NATO is one such an example.

Democrats are embracing genocidal antisemitism
Around the world, and especially here at home in the Democrat party, the Islamo-leftists’ fanatic hatred for Jews is creating a very scary 1938 vibe.

If I were writing a post about Jews in the news because of further contributions to the world (to add to such things as the Bible, the polio vaccine, pacemakers, Google, stainless steel, the ballpoint pen, the theory of relativity, etc.), I would be happy as a clam, and this post could be a series that lasts for weeks.

‘Settler violence’: The latest fabricated buzz phrase for singling out Israel
Employment of this phrase to attribute to Israel an official government policy of sanctioning violence against Palestinians by isolated groups of Israeli youth is no less absurd and unrealistic than labeling sport-hooliganism in Europe and the Americas, and violence at mass demonstrations, as officially-sponsored, government-sanctioned violence.

Violence by groups of hooligans or by any other religious, cultural, or national group is illegal, cannot be condoned, and must be condemned and duly punished in accordance with the law.

China Is Planning Something DEADLY In The Iran War
Peloni: Very important video. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki explores the role which China is playing in continuing to arm (with advanced technology) despite Chinese assurances otherwise, while also conducting trade with Iran using overland trade routes. While the issue of the arms going to Iran is significant Wolicki explains this matter has far greater implications than this. China wants to create a causeway between Pakistan, India and Turkey so as to offset and defeat the US-Israel-Saudi-India plan of the India-Middle East-European Corridor (IMEC), and China’s Pres. Xi is using the presence of the American blockade to force the development and exploration of the Chinese alternative to the IMEC forward.

Majority of Lebanese favor disarming Hezbollah, support peace talks with Israel – poll
Peloni: Even if this poll were accurate, it would be no more material than a poll taken in Iran showing the people favor eliminating the IRGC. Unless a military force is able to disarm Hezbollah, or displace the IRGC in Iran’s case, the will of the people means nothing. There is no such force in Lebanon which is independent of Hezbollah.

Iran Funneled $850 Million Through Binance: WSJ
Peloni: As Trump was applying maximum pressure on Iran, the Teapot refineries two-step was not the only manner in which the Iranian regime was successfully cheating US sanctions. Reportedly using a crypto-currency by-pass nearly a billion dollars was funneled to the regime despite the loophole being made known months earlier. This racket was reported to have continued til at least January of this year.

Mark Goldfeder responds to Nicholas Kristof & NYT
Peloni: Must read article by Mark Goldfeder, the Director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, provides a scathing response to the New York Times’ so called defense of Nicholas Kristof’s dog-rape propaganda, and he doesn’t pull any punches.

Enough with the evasion. The criticism was never that sexual abuse allegations should be ignored. The criticism is that you published grotesque, incendiary claims while leaning on sources and allegations that demanded extraordinary scrutiny, not sanctimonious hand-waving.

Mark Levin: Deal or No Deal
Peloni: In an important article by Mark Levin, “Deal or no deal,” he notes that any negotiated settlement with Iran would almost certainly fail as the Iranian regime has a long history of deception, violating agreements, and pursuing extremist ideological goals. He continues by questioning how a deal could truly prevent Iran from eventually developing nuclear weapons, especially given its existing enriched uranium, missile capabilities, and hidden activities.
Mark also raises concerns about enforcement, arguing that future U.S. administrations or Western allies may lack the will to respond forcefully if Iran violates an agreement again in the future. He also warns that Iran would likely continue supporting proxy groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas regardless of any promises made in negotiations. Most notably, he explains that the core problem is the nature of the Iranian regime itself rather than simply its nuclear program.

No Immunity Under Guise of Humanitarian Aid
Peloni: In recent months, Human rights NGOs were demonstrated to have been complicit in terrorism as they acted in compliance with demands made upon them by the likes of Hamas [see video below]. In response to these revelations, Min. Chikli put forward regulations which would expose such terror connections among NGOs. While opposing these new regulations, Doctors without Borders brought a complaint before the High Court, seemingly to preserve the privacy of the NGOs so as to conceal any involvement with nefarious actors such as Hamas. The High Court refused to grant the appeal by Doctors with Borders, thus requiring the NGOs to unmask their records…This was a very big deal. Min. Chikli’s comments celebrating this victory are below.
Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli | X | May 20, 2026
The celebration is over! The High Court has upheld our policy – there will be no immunity for terrorism under humanitarian guise.

When the New York Times published the false claim that Israeli dogs were ‘raping’ Hamas terrorists, it was sourced to a Hamas-linked group that calls itself the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. After Jewish groups condemned it, a radical leftist groups that calls itself the Nexus Project and claims to fight anti-semitism popped up on X to defend the Times smear, which had been circulated to preempt a report about Hamas rapes, calling it “challenging and important”.

What Does Pakistan Want From The US – Iran Negotiations?
Peloni: An insightful glance into the Pakistan’s motivations to act as the negotiator between the US and Iran.
A JAFAJ STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF PAKISTANS POWER, NUCLEAR POSITIONING, AND STRUGGLE FOR REGIONAL RELEVANCE

Islamabad Talks. Screengrab via Youtube
IN-A-NUTSHELL
Pakistan’s attempt to position itself as a negotiating bridge between the United States and Iran is not driven by diplomacy, neutrality, or regional goodwill. It is driven by a deeper strategic calculation: Pakistan believes the regional order is changing rapidly, and if it does not force itself into the center of that transition now, it risks permanent strategic downgrade.

Ask Yourself This: What’s Inside?
Peloni: An insightful exploration into understanding motivations, including those of the Faux Right Antisemites in America. As nothing comes from nothing, we need to look deeper to grasp that motivations and realities are directly relatable to the deeper values and foibles within.

Decades ago, I remember reading an article in Newsday, a newspaper based on Long Island and at that time the eighth largest daily in the country. It was a first-person admission of the writer’s irresistible attraction to morbidly obese women. After several family members and friends encouraged him to figure out his obsession by going into therapy, he assented and entered not typical once- or twice-a-week therapy, but five-times-a-week psychoanalysis.

We are all settlers now
Peloni: The true motive of using the fake news story of “Settler Violence” to delegitimize Israel is exposed as this falsehood is used to support the “River to the Sea” campaign of displacing all Israelis from the land of their forefathers. As Douglas Altabef explains, this targets all Israelis as settlers, and such a brand should be worn with unabashed pride, and should be defended with the knowledge that claims of “Settler Violence” are being used to target the very existence of the nation, the ties between the our people and the land, and the international support of those allies in the West which have supported Israel over the years. This is literally the hill on which they mean to see the Jewish State to fall, and so we must embrace this reality and defend it with the simple truth that the campaign being erected on the claim of “Settler Violence” is altogether manufactured for this purpose.
In response to the accusation of us all being settlers, the only answer is “guilty as charged.” Do you know that settlers of different nationalities and locales succeeded in transforming much of the world?

Sometimes the incessant braying of ill or uninformed demonizers counterintuitively contains and conveys a certain “wisdom:” That wisdom might be summed up as the realization that there is no judgment, no discernment coming from the haters, and therefore no explanation, let alone apology is needed.

President Trump Endorses Ken Paxton Over RINO Cornyn in Texas Senate Race
Peloni: As the Senate Republicans refused to pass any of a number of Trump’s legislative bills, Trump moved to forego supporting the safe choice of endorsing Sen. Cornyn, who is a personal ally of the Republican leadership in the Senate. The consequence of this is that Trump endorsed Texas AG Ken Paxton who is trailing by about 1.5% in the polls as compared to Cornyn in the general election. The result of this will mean that Paxton will need more money to support his campaign, and the likelihood is that the Republican Senatorial fund, which is controlled by the head of the Senate, Sen. Thune, will offer Paxton less money than they would have for Cornyn, while claiming that his candidacy is not viable. This is the same scenario which has been run in past elections which led to electoral defeats by Trump endorsed congressional candidates who opposed the establishment, as does Paxton. This will be an interesting election to watch as Paxton has been a long standing opponent to the Bush party machine in Texas which previously led to Paxton being impeached on silly charges.

Fall from grace
Peloni: Bravo to Sarah Stern!
“New York Times” columnist Nicholas Kristof put his objectivity and journalistic integrity aside to recycle blood libels about the Jewish people.
Sarah N. Stern | May 21,2026

Over four decades, Nicholas Kristof has been a highly respected, humanitarian and compassionate journalist for The New York Times. However, he has totally sullied his reputation by crafting a libelous column on May 11 titled “The Silence that Meets the Rape of Palestinians.” With this piece, he has left the world of effective journalism and has entrenched himself in anti-Zionist activism.

The morning air was cold and damp in German-occupied southern Poland.
Near the town of Oswiecim, dust drifted through old military barracks that still carried the smell of decades of military use. The buildings were worn, heavy, gray, and ordinary-looking.
