Iran Submits Same Plan Despite Claims of Pakistan and Qatar  

Peloni:  At some point, the reality that Iran will not submit to Trump’s terms will set in.  Til it does, Iran will continue tapping Trump along with the help of its allies in Qatar, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan.

Israeli survey shows 80% of Gazans interested in leaving the Gaza Strip – report  

Peloni:  As calls to ‘Free Gaza’ from around the world led to the creation of a 20 Point Plan, later officially introduced into UN Security Council Resolution 2803, the result has been anything but freedom in Gaza as its inhabitants have been re-interred under the same warlords which were elected in Gaza over twenty years ago.  The effect of all of this has in fact left the people of Gaza to be trafficked, maimed, murdered, raped and, in all ways acknowledgeable by the norms of the modern world, abused as the cage in which they were institutionalized in a warped society with the single goal of weaponizing the public as a tool by which to attack Israel and the Jews.  Statements made by Pres. Trump shortly after returning to office regarding the need to relocate the population of Gaza presaged a path towards real freedom for the people of Gaza, where they would not endlessly be tokenized as the antisemitic leverage which has become their fate in Gaza.  And yet, while all the addle minded pro-Hamas provocateurs continue to scream for the rights of those in Gaza, their silence amid the re-encarceration of the Gazans under Hamas demonstrates the reality that only Israel has an interest in setting the Gazans free from their forced enslavement where they are subjected to a psychopathic motivation to simply kill Jews.  This weaponization of the Gazan people, not their freedom, is what has been called for by those shouting ‘Free Gaza’, but also this is what has been effected by the famed and immensely flawed 20 Point Plan which has done anything but set Gaza free.

Turkey’s Missile Ambitions Should Alarm Europe and the United States  

Sinan Ciddi | May 16, 2026

For years, European officials viewed Turkey’s growing defense industry as an important asset. Turkish drones proved effective in conflicts from Libya to Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine. Ankara marketed itself as a NATO ally capable of covering gaps in Europe’s deteriorating defense-industrial base. Now, as the European Union (EU) scrambles to rearm in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war and growing uncertainty about long-term American commitments to Europe, Turkey is once again presenting itself as an irreplaceable security partner.

Qatari Minister Attacks U.S. Ambassador To Israel Mike Huckabee: He Is A Villain Who Presents Us With A ‘Satanic & Destructive Choice’ Between Our Muslim Neighbor Iran and The Occupying Entity, Israel  

Peloni:  This article depicts an honest assessment of the outlook of the Qatari leadership.  Even after relentless and unprovoked attacks from Iran, there can be no choice between Iran and Israel.  Yet, these are the primary interlocutors being employed by the US as so-called peace negotiators acting on behalf of America.  By using such third parties, it betrays the reality that the Qatari’s also choose Iran over America.

A Qatari minister called U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee a villain who presents us with a ‘Satanic And Destructive Choice’ Between Our Muslim Neighbor Iran And The Occupying Entity, Israel

By: Yigal Carmon | MEMRI | May 18, 2026

In an angry post on his X account on May 13, 2026, Hamad Al-Kawari, a Qatari Minister of State with rank of Deputy Prime Minister and director of the Qatar National Library, who formerly served as his country’s ambassador to the U.S., the UN, and France, responded to recent remarks by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who called on the Gulf states to choose between Iran, which attacks them, and Israel, which helps them.

Can America keep the Covenant?  

Peloni:  A highly recommended article.  Dr. Alex Grobman discusses the import by which the inheritance and values which define and describe a nation must be conserved so as to see that these networking national definitions might be handed from one generation to the next, and along with it the national identity which ties the people, tribes and clans into being a single nation rather than as so many people, tribes and clans.  The failure of not only the education system in America, but also so many of its institutions and political norms, have come to see America changing from a nation which cherished it core ethos to a nation caught in a struggle by which to maintain that ethos.  The role of the Jews in American society play a crucial marker regarding the expression of the values under which the American Republic was founded, not because Jews control America as claimed by the manipulating forces on the faux Right and by nearly the entire Left in America, but because Jews flourish when rights are applied with equal measure to all citizens, something which has clearly changed as the political, judicial, social, and educational system in America has taken to choosing winners and losers based around arbitrary political connections rather than based upon a system which is derived from the concept of equal justice.

As America nears its 250th anniversary, the question is not whether the nation deserves applause for what it has achieved. It does. The question is whether Americans still understand and believe in what made those achievements possible

Dr. Alex Grobman |

America stands at a historic and harrowing crossroads. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the American experiment is being tested by a level of domestic division not seen in generations. The milestone invites celebration, but it demands something more serious: a national audit.

Israel’s Deep State Exposed Part 2

Avi Abelow | Israel Unwired | May 19, 2026

For years, many people rolled their eyes whenever I warned about the growing political power of Israel’s legal establishment and a “deep state” of unelected officials who are constantly working against Netanyahu and his governments from implementing policies to protect our country and strengthen the Jewish identity of the country.

“Conspiracy theories.”

“Paranoia.”

“An attack on democracy.”

Social media drums up misinformation by the misinformed  

There is another definition of what it means to be a bad actor.

Moshe Phillips | May 18, 2026

In a May 10 interview on “60 Minutes,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu complained bitterly about social media: “We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States almost—I would say, it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media.”A key function of this trend is the way critics of Israel use—and often misuse—celebrities. Let’s look at one example.

Last month, memes began appearing all over social media with a quote from actor Richard Gere: “There’s no defense of this occupation. Settlements are such an absurd provocation … .”

The Fate of Moses Jacob Ezekiel and His Confederate Monument  

Peloni:  A rare telling of how a warped historical record is used to reframe reality, something which led to a civil war in Princeton University surrounding a modern exhibition of art by Jewish two veterans of the American Civil War.

Kelleigh Nelson 

I hope you will be an artist as it seems to me you are cut out for one. But whatever you do, try to prove to the world that if we did not succeed in our struggle, we were worthy of success. — Robert E. Lee’s advice to Ezekiel, as recalled in his memoirs.

When we talk about art, we can separate the man from the art, if it’s worth separating. And if you can do that with all these canonical artists, why can’t we do that with Ezekiel? — Samantha Baskind, author of Moses Jacob Ezekiel: Jewish, Confederate, Expatriate Sculptor and art historian, regarding his complex legacy.

A great Virginian, a great artist, a great American, and a great citizen of world fame. — President Warren G. Harding in a message read at Ezekiel’s 1921 funeral.

The federal campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood’s global network and domestic reach  

Peloni:  The question remains why the elements of the ecosystem created by the Muslim Brotherhood which exists in the US, and those associated most intimately with Washington, ie the branches in Qatar and Turkey, have all thus far gone unaddressed.  Notably, these chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood are far more dangerous to Americans, and to America’s ability to actually dismantle the metaphorical engine created by the Brotherhood.  In fact, taking down the Muslim Brotherhood requires that it be dismantled at the source of its strongest aspect of power, and this is not in war torn Lebanon and Sudan, nor in Jordan and Egypt.  It is in the Washington and across America where the greatest threat of the Muslim Brotherhood emanates for the world, and yet these aspects of al-Banna’s creation have thus far been left untouched, despite the damage they are doing to America, itself.

Western governments once thought the Muslim Brotherhood a firewall against jihadism, although it was one of its principal incubators. In the US, it is at last being treated as the ideological engine that helped power the jihadist century.

For decades, critics of the Muslim Brotherhood have described it as the ideological grandfather of modern jihadism: a movement that learned to operate as a religious revival, political party, social-service network, educational project, and revolutionary incubator at the same time.

Will Trump finally act against Iran?  

Peloni:  It is time for Trump to finally choose between the prospects and costs of grasping victory or accepting defeat.  As Trump has noted many times over the past year while pursuing negotiations in between the two wars which were each used to pressure the Iranian regime to accept his terms, Iran can not have a nuclear weapon.  The only question is whether Trump is going to follow thru on the commitment to stand behind these words, or to surrender to the resolute nature of Iran’s obstinacy.  For my own thoughts, I still believe Trump will choose victory over defeat, but time will tell if this is true.

The Iranians are generating cash flow, planning for the future, and taunting Trump. It’s time for his patience to end.

Andrea Widburg | Am Thinker | May 17, 2026\

Yesterday, we published Travis Lynch’s essay suggesting that Trump needs to fish or cut bait if he is to effectuate change in Iran. Right now, Trump is in what’s becoming an unstable holding pattern that creates the appearance, at least, that Iran has the upper hand. News today, though, suggests that (a) Iran has finally gone too far and (b) Trump knows it.

The Levin Doctrine: Arm the Iranian People, Crush the Regime  

Peloni:  After fifty years of betrayal and being used as the chit by which the West gained bargained their future away, the Iranian people deserve the support of the West.  The list of those Iranians slaughtered this past January, when tens of thousands of Iranians were murdered, is still being extended today with continued executions.

As a constitutional lawyer, bestselling author, and influential broadcaster, Mark Levin has long used his platform to advocate for a robust, peace-through-strength approach to global affairs. His commentary often reflects a deeply rooted distrust of authoritarian regimes coupled with a fierce commitment to Western democratic values. Recently, Levin distilled his complex, hawkish, yet distinctly modern foreign policy philosophy into a succinct and powerful statement regarding one of America’s most enduring adversaries: the Islamic Republic of Iran.
