Peloni: Sen. Lindsey Olin Graham (1955–2026) was an important voice among supporters of Israel and America Jews. Notably, and because of this, I was always disappointed and perplexed by Sen. Graham’s inexplicable and persistent support for the Two State Solution, even in the wake of October 7, as it openly and clearly conflicted with his strong support for Israel.
There is a rumor being spread about Graham having been poisoned, but there is little beyond speculation to support this suspicion. This being stated, the timing of Graham’s death in relation to the threat raised against him by the Iranians adds to this speculation, something which was echoed by Graham in a eerie post which Erin Molan describes in the video below. While any conclusion of foul play at this point is entirely speculative, it is noteworthy that the Iranians were noted to have hatched a number of assassination plots against Trump (at least two in fact) and key members of his former administration, and one Iranian assassin, who now faces life in prison, was actually convicted this past March for trying to hire an undercover FBI agent to assassinate Trump. This, along with the recent spate of public threats against Trump, various heads of state in the Middle East and Europe, along with Sen. Graham and others, all the more directs our attention to the fact that this regime is too radical, too dangerous, and too destabilizing to remain in place. Sen. Graham never lost sight of this fact, and worked to his final days to try to address it.
