Peloni: Bravo!
Barry Shaw, The View from Israel. April 4, 2026
Breaking News. The US authorities have arrested the niece of Qassem Soleimani (the former commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) and her daughter, and revoked their green cards following an order from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
They are facing deportation.
Peloni: As goes Turkey’s policy, so goes Jolani’s policy.

It is clearer by the day that Ahmed al-Sharaa is still an Islamic jihadi, and that his supporters know that and approve of it. So how long will Trump continue to support him?
Peloni: Is the attack on the vital B1 Bridge a demonstration of Washington’s growing frustration, or is it possibly a move away from potential regime change hopes for Iran and towards a possible break up of Iran?

The Demonstration of U.S. and Israeli Military Superiority Has Not Yet Produced a Positive, Victorious Outcome from the Israeli and American Point of View

The current round of fighting between Israel, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran appears to have reached a stalemate. On the one hand, Iran is being pummelled by US and Israeli air power, against which it can mount no effective defense. At the same time, the demonstration of US and Israeli military superiority has not, until now at least, produced a positive, victorious outcome from the Israeli and American point of view.
Expel Turkey from the NATO alliance and bring in Cyprus and Israel as members.

“I’m so disappointed in NATO, because this was a test for NATO,” said President Trump on March 26 while speaking about the Iran war.
Peloni: Avi Abelow provides another critical description of the true nature behind the canard of ‘Settler Violence’. Instead of joining Israel’s enemies in voicing opposition the Hilltop Youth movement, Israel’s Chief of Staff and more recently its US Ambassador should be raising the facts shared in this video with Israel’s enemies and its friends. Doing so is key to dealing with the current willingness/eagerness of the current US administration, and possibly a future US administration, to revive long standing US support for the Two State Solution. The truth of these matters alone will serve Israel’s interests, so why is it that the head of the IDF and the head of its delegation to the US are fostering lies over reality?

Peloni: As Iraqi Shia militia’s move to support Iran in the current war, the political crisis at home remains. The choice of a new leadership continues to stand as a political contest between America and Iran, with Iraq’s future weighing in the balance. Will the political deadlock be maintained or will a political coalition finally come to be formed. Both the political and military stability of Iraq stand in the shadow of Iran’s power projection, making the outcome of the current war significantly relevant to the Iraq’s ability to choose its own government. So, while Iran is still able to assemble its military arms in Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq, the coming vote will show us if Iran still maintains its leverage over the political process in Iraq, or if there has been a shift due to current events, making the April 11 vote a litmus test of Iranian power in Iraq. Was this relevant in Trump choosing a deadline of April 6 for Iran to agree to his terms?

EXECUTIVE SNAPSHOT
The Iraqi Council of Representatives is set to convene on April 11 to elect a president, marking the most credible attempt in months to break Iraq’s political deadlock.
Peloni: Notably, America’s traditional European partners have been dissembling themselves for sometime now, ignoring realities of defense while simultaneously calling for greater involvement in the Ukraine War. The current blunder of disregarding the threat from Iran, both the threat of its missile development as well as its threat over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, reinforces Europe’s eagerness to maintain policies which are antithetical to their own interests. To what purpose might a military alliance serve when partnering with nations which consistently ignore its own vital interests, both in their own region, and in the Middle East. Furthermore, their attempts to block America dealing with the threats from China and Iran have demonstrated that Europe is not only ignoring their own security interests, but also leveraging their influence to force America to do the same.

During his two terms as president of the United States, Donald Trump made it clear to our long-time traditional allies in Europe that America would no longer do all the heavy lifting financially or otherwise. Now, with the military conflict with Iran continuing to rage on, the president is back at it again. He’s not happy with some of those so-called “friends” of America. Increasingly, the president is turning to Gulf states as trusted allies and partners. More on that in a moment.

Following President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s December 2024 seizure of power in Syria, the jihadist regime’s persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, Druze and Alawites, has skyrocketed as the country undergoes a process of radical Islamization.

The renewed Lebanon war between Israel and Hezbollah that began on March 2 is now over a month old, with little change in the overall picture or disposition of the main actors. However, Israeli officials have reframed initial publicly stated goals for the conflict away from an imminent disarmament of Hezbollah, signaling a more prolonged approach. Simultaneously, political disagreements over the conflict and Hezbollah’s status have arisen in Lebanon while Hezbollah has escalated its attacks against Israel and rhetoric.
Peloni: America has two important allies in the Middle East capable of projecting power beyond their borders. One is Israel, who has repeatedly demonstrated itself to be the Ideal Ally for America that it is, while the other is Turkey, which has demonstrated itself to be something far less ideal than an ally. Washington would be wise to recognize this fact and respond to it with something more deserving than praise.

Turkey has an extensive history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas, and far beyond. Turkey has collaborated with the worst jihadists, including ISIS. It is a particularly dangerous country, so much that it can be reasonably concluded that NATO would be reckless to continue to include it as a member. It should have long ago been ejected as a NATO member.
Peloni: What will it take for the American people to receive the justice which they voted for in the 2024 election. While Trump was victimized by the election fiasco of the 2020 election, so too were his supporters and the American people at large. From the election fraud to the January 6 persecutions to the Covid scam to the censorship campaigns to the political show trials… are these crimes truly just too big to prosecute? Trump’s pick to follow in Bondi’s footsteps requires someone motivated to pursue justice rather than protecting the powerful. Bondi failed the American people in this respect. Will her successor do any better?

Bondi was out of her depth.
After months of mounting frustration, the DOJ failed to act on explosive evidence, delivering talk instead of accountability. Promised prosecutions never materialized as critics point to a year of inertia inside the Justice Department. Whistleblowers spoke, documents piled up and still no action.

IDF strikes in Iran to thwart missile fire, kills some 40 Hezbollah terrorists
| Published: April 2, 2026
Millions of Israelis spent the Passover holiday going back and forth to their shelters every few hours, as the Iranian regime, Hezbollah, and the Houthis markedly stepped up their attacks against Israel from Wednesday to Thursday evening.
Peloni: As explained in the video below, Tina Peters, the Mesa County Clerk whose actions secured evidence regarding the election tampering in her county, just before that evidence was erased under the order of the Colorado Secretary of State, had her 9-year sentencing thrown out on appeal due to the obvious bias demonstrated by the judge during sentencing. Despite this, her conviction was upheld and instead of Peters being set free, she is being handed back to the original state court where she will be resentenced. So, the injustice which has been used to silence those who might expose election fraud in the US will go on.

In 2003, Limor Son Har-Melech was 7 months pregnant and driving home with her husband, Shalom, an ambulance driver, when Islamic terrorists attacked them. The car rolled over, killing her husband and injuring Limor. Seriously injured, the 24-year-old mother survived. So did her newborn daughter. Limor, still carrying the scars of the attack, married again, had children and decided to run for public office in Israel to protect others from what she had suffered.
