When the official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain describes Zionism as a form of anti-Muslim hatred and labels Israel’s IDF as a “Zionist terrorist group” you know that country has a serious problem on its hands.

The Invasion of the West We Are Importing Our Own Destruction  

Act for America | Jun 12, 2026

By ACT for America – [1], Public Domain, Wikipedia

Western civilization—forged in blood, genius, and sacrifice—is under siege from within. For decades, elites have pursued a suicidal policy of open-door immigration from the third world, flooding our nations with millions who often reject our values, strain our systems, and erode the very foundations of freedom, security, and prosperity. This is not compassion. It is national self-sabotage. We must slam the brakes on mass inflows from incompatible regions now—before it is too late.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s Dramatic Declarations Of Sovereignty: Lebanon Belongs To The Lebanese, Not To Iran  

Peloni:  The change of rhetoric in Lebanon can not be mistaken for a change in capabilities.  Even if we take Aoun at his word, which could only be done by foolishly ignoring the long history of Lebanese commitments regarding disarming Hezbollah in the past, it doesn’t change the reality of Lebanon’s demographics, which is also represented in the Lebanese Armed Forces, in which the Lebanese Shiite community has a large representation.  Notably, amid reports that even the Shiite commuity in Lebanon has turned against Hezbollah, this has yet to be demonstrated in any way material beyond verbal assertions.  Israel can not afford to be forced from Lebanon under the hollow promises of “peace once more”.  Israel should maintain its presence in Lebanon, and Aoun should demonstrate his authority by disarming Hezbollah in what remains of Lebanon presumably under his control.  Of course, he might first start by demonstrating that he has the ability to even evict the Ambassador of Iran, whose remaining presence in Lebanon is all that is needed to demonstrate the lack of capabilities of the Lebanon president to enforce the will of the Lebanese rather than that of the Iranian regime.

“The only flag of the Lebanese people is the flag of Lebanon”[1]; “[Iran is] using Lebanon and Hizbullah mainly as a bargaining chip”; “It’s not the country [of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards], it’s our country”[2]; “A traitor is someone who takes his country to war in pursuit of external interests”[3]—These are some of the strong statements made by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in recent months against Hizbullah and its patron Iran, reflecting a significant hardening of his position.

Anti-Semitism Skyrocketing Under Mamdani-Irit Tratt/Talkline With Zev Brenner  

Peloni:  While watching this video, take note of how the Mamdani’s Jew Hatred policies are being strengthened by the very Democratic Party leaders and members who should be a moderating source for his Jew Hatred.  Instead, the Jew Hatred policies in NYC, governing over the largest community of Jews in America, are gaining support.  As noted in the interview below, the Jewish community is not focusing their influence via their voting practices to support and protect themselves from Mamdani and his growing list of political acolytes.  The strength of every democracy is in the will of the people being used to represent the interests of the people.  With the growing strength in the Muslim communities in America, the need for Jews to stand as an electoral firewall against this rising threat is more necessary than ever.  As I have often noted, people living in democratic nations should vote as if their lives and the lives of their loved ones are on the ballot, because they are.  In no other instance is this more true than in NYC, but in America, this trend is not isolated to NYC, unfortunately.

General Keane: If This Leak Is Real, America Is In SERIOUS Trouble!  

Peloni:  The Iranians win as the clock goes tick tock, because victory lies in their survival.  Their lies, obfuscations, and propaganda are all weaponized towards this end, and as Trump prefers to deal with the Iranians as if they are honestly negotiating with him, he only allows them the greatest avenue towards achieving the victory of their survival, and that is time.

My Grandmother Watched a Rabbi Sliced Alive: Her Warning for America Today  

by Michelle Lubin Terris President JEXIT, Inc. | JEXIT

If my grandparents were alive today, they would be horrified.

My family was Russian Jewish aristocracy. They had a life, a home, a community, and a future. None of that mattered when hatred came for them.

They fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe, where Russian Cossacks stormed Jewish communities on horseback, wielding pitchforks and terror. Their only “crime”? Being Jewish.

Iran Wants To Punish Jordan for Hosting U.S. Forces  

Peloni:  Washington should use its leverage to force Jordan to eliminate all presence and support for the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies.  They should force Jordan to adopt an outright hostile posture to the Iranians.  They should force Jordan to support and coordinate with Israel and end its endless blood libels and calls for violence against Israel.  And they should demand that the butcheress Tamimi is finally handed over to face American justice.  Washington has the influence to do all of this.  The question is whether they will do any of it.

USAID Confirms Israeli Claims: More Than 100 UNRWA Staff in Gaza Connected to Hamas  

By

Jenin Camp by Pierre Marshall, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0Jenin Camp by Pierre Marshall, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0

When the IDF entered Gaza, it discovered that Hamas was using UNRWA facilities, including schools, hospitals, and mosques, to hide both combatants and weapons, including launching pads for missiles. Underneath UNRWA headquarters in Gaza, Hamas had built its main command-and-control center. The IDF also discovered lists of Hamas members, and could cross-check them against a list of UNRWA staff. These findings led Israel to charge that many members of UNRWA were also members of Hamas, and that dozens of UNRWA staff had taken part in the atrocities carried out on Oct. 7, 2023. UNRWA, of course, denied this.

Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon, Syria & Gaza  

Peloni:  We will see if DM Katz‘s assertion hold true.  There will be a great deal of pressure to betray this pronouncement, and we have seen the calumny of betrayal in the past as Israeli leadership subordinated the interests of the Israeli people to the dictates of American demands, even in the wake of October 7 did this outrageous practice take place, and repeatedly so.  What is certain is that if Katz is correct, real changes might take place in the region, and the ultimate prize of stability, rather than another claim of some faux peace arrangement, could be within our reach, but it remains to be seen what Washington will do to once again scuttle this possibility.  ‘Maintain the buffer’ should be the shouted slogan of the coming election in Israel.

“Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and citizens from Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the regions of our homeland in Samaria, and most of the territory of Gaza, until Hamas is defeated and the migration plan is implemented, in the face of threats from jihadist forces and organizations, as a central lesson learned from the events of October 7.

Lawfare Project Hails Landmark Settlement Ending U.S. Sanctions Regime Targeting Israelis In Judea And Samaria  

Peloni:  Bravo once again to Brooke Goldstein and the Lawfare Project as they successfully litigate the overturn of an illegal sanctions policy weaponized by the Biden administration to silence dissenting objections to the forced imposition of the creation of a second Palestinian state in addition to Jordan.

Settlement formally opposes policies targeting Israeli citizens and organizations in Judea and Samaria, while reaffirming constitutional protections for free speech and religious liberty.

Netanyahu’s Call To Lebanon Just Sent Hezbollah Into PANIC!  

Peloni:  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki elucidates Hezbollah’s growing impotence in Southern Lebanon, unable to gather support for their rallies and having lost the ability to intimidate the public from openly voicing dissent.  Wolicki ties this trend indicating Hezbollah’s loss of prestige and control in Southern Lebanon to Netanyahu’s call for Lebanese to recognize Israel’s war with Hezbollah is aligned with the Lebanese not against them.  Will the Lebanese ever come to play a role in their own revival?  Or will they continue to remain on the sidelines of history as their fate is decided by outside forces while they continue to look on without exerting any influence on the the shaping of their own future?  Time will tell of course, but most acutely, what happens in Iran will have a significant effect on whether this trend of defiance in Lebanon is a momentary event, or an emerging reality.

Why is Nobody Talking About the USS Stark?

Thomas Massie has been in Congress since 2012, which makes me curious why, after fourteen years in office, he suddenly decided that June 2026 was the right moment to reopen the USS Liberty case and demand a new investigation into an event that occurred nearly sixty years ago.

Israel surprised by Trump’s announcement that Iran deal is reached & could be signed this weekend  

Peloni:  The agreement to negotiate an agreement has reportedly been agreed upon, though this first agreement is still yet to be agreed as of this time.  Yet, the good news is that the first agreement, the one which highlights negotiations for a real agreement on the nuclear and perhaps some other issues, is going to be finally agreed upon enough to possibly sign this weekend, with the threat of the continued linkage of Lebanon to Iran being part of this nonsensical arrangement.  As absurd and obtuse as this summary may seem, this is the degree to which the Americans have gone to leverage a claim that they have achieved anything.  Of course, the one thing that has been reportedly clarified is that the Strait of Hormuz will ultimately be opened within a month, winning the single victory of having the return of prewar status of the flow of oil to support the claim of any victory at all.

Hang tight.  This war is not over.

Here’s What Lawmakers Are Saying About Trump’s Nominee To Replace Tulsi Gabbard  

Peloni:  Interesting how quickly Pulte’s nomination came to be replaced in the wake of the extension on FISA warrantless surveillance failed to pass.  Curiously, given Gabbard’s notorious penchant for poor judgement, demonstrated both before her appointment and afterwards, I thought it would be an easy move to replace her obvious bias in the role of the DIA.

East-Mediterranean ‘commerce-over-conflict’ energy partnership launches in Houston  

Peloni:  This was an important step forward for the Israel’s alliance with Cyprus and Greece.  Note the relevance in timing between this development and Erdogan’s recent Jew Hatred commentary.  Not only does Erdogan see this project as a threat to his illegal occupation of Cyprus, but it also challenges Erdogan’s desired monopoly of control over energy pipelines in the region.
