The same faulty Western logic applied to the African country is also being applied to Israel’s war against Hamas and Hezbollah.

The government of Mali was overthrown last week by ISIS, working in cooperation with local groups. The context is a bit of a winding road.

Axios reports possible breakthrough between US and Iran in which key US demands are seriously diminished.
The report says the White House believes it is close to a preliminary agreement with Iran in the form of a one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the current war and launching more detailed nuclear negotiations. While nothing has been finalized, U.S. officials expect key Iranian responses within 48 hours and view this as the closest the sides have come to a deal since the conflict began.
Peloni: Mike Doran makes some surprising confessions about his changing view on Turkey while also offering some blunt criticisms about Israeli outlooks on US-Turkey policy.

The pause in the US plan to enable the movement of ships through the Strait illustrates just how complex a task this has become.

King Charles alluded to terror when discussing global instability-yet he declined to name it where it is most acute. That was not an accident.
King Charles III’s recent address to the U.S. Congress was, on its surface, a polished diplomatic speech. He invoked shared values, democratic resilience, and the importance of standing with allies under threat-most notably Ukraine.

It’s a very big guessing game: the question of whether or not Trump is going to reverse tactics and begin bombing Iran again.
The Illusions of Memory
When my parents were children on their way to school, local (Christian) children would lie in wait for them, to chase and beat them. The boys, for the most part, would organize themselves to beat the Christians back. This was the case in Warsaw in Poland, and so it was also in Siberia (to where the Zionists and the leaders of the Jewish communities from Lithuania were exiled).
I have long known the “childhood stories” of stealing cigarette butts and selling them, as well as other thefts in order to have a morsel of bread. Today my uncle does not remember a thing from one sentence to the next and therefore repeats the question as if it had not been asked and just answered.
Janet Levy: Even if you don’t like Jews and Israel, you should fight this as you are on the jihad menu for death, conversion or dhimmitude.
Read Islamic doctrine – the Koran, Sura, and Hadith. All non-Muslims are targeted – Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Baha’is, etc.
Look around the world – Europe, India, Africa, and beyond – and see the mass slaughter by jihadists.
YOU could be next.
From former Muslim Mossab Hassan Yousef, defected son of Hamas co-founder Hassan Yousef:
“There is no difference between 9/11 and October 7th. It’s all part of the jihad against the infidels
Arafat dressed up Palestine as a human rights issue to further the civilization jihad. He was advised by North Vietnamese General Jap and Romania’s Cecescu to change his jihadi mandate into terms the West could understand – human rights

The Civilian Government Has Lost Control
President Pezeshkian did not authorise the missile and drone strikes on the UAE, only learning about them after the fact. The IRGC is conducting military junta operations with total impunity. Iran is no longer a regime. It is a military junta commanded by an unhinged man. Sources familiar with Tehran’s deliberations report that Pezeshkian described the IRGC’s actions as “completely irresponsible,” called their approach to regional escalation “madness,” and warned of “potentially irreversible consequences.” A sitting president only uses this language about his own military when the relationship has completely broken down.

U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the missile fire from Iran toward the United Arab Emirates on Monday, shying away from dubbing it a violation of the ceasefire as the American “Project Freedom” continues to erode the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The key to the credibility—or lack thereof—of a column in “The Philadelphia Inquirer” was a description of the co-authors.

An op-ed attacking AIPAC, authored by two Jews who oppose the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, would be unremarkable. Two people who hate Israel naturally also deeply despise AIPAC. Nothing surprising in that.
But an op-ed column attacking AIPAC by prominent figures in two mainstream American Jewish organizations—well, that’s something else entirely.

During this time of the year, we in Israel commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day and then exactly one week later, the nation commemorates Memorial Day. On Memorial Day, we in Israel mourn our fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism, halting everything as the sirens blast (cars stop, pedestrians stop, the nation literally comes to a standstill). These past weeks and months, given that Israel’s sirens were prompts to rush to bomb shelters, one can only imagine the anxiety and accompanying stress, should one of those sirens have coincided with a memorial siren.

Last week on Jihad Watch, a German school was highlighted in this story: Germany: ‘The pressure that political Islam is exerting on students is getting bigger and bigger.’ What made this story particularly noteworthy was that Muslim children were reported to be engaging in the process of civilizational jihad in Berlin schools.
