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.

Peloni:  Controlling the passes is a military concept going back centuries.  From the battle at Thermopylae to the battle of Kasserine Pass , we see that controlling such strategic passage ways were vital.  This same concept is proving pivotal in the test of wills between President Trump and his Chinese counterpart President Xi.  Below is a good description of how China has acted to shore up its support for Iran over the past years, why this was important and how Trump is rendering these efforts somewhat moot.  Also see the article by Zineb Riboua. h/t Sebastien.

Peloni:  Prof. Eyal Zisser is quite correct.  Israel has been forced to accept a serious restriction of its freedom of action in Lebanon while leaving the IDF exposed and vulnerable to FDV drone attacks, to which it can only respond while not moving northwards.  This advantage of holding the IDF hostage to US demands give Hezbollah a significant boon which it lacked prior to this untenable ceasefire.  Where things stand today is intolerable state of appeasement to Iran, and the forced pretense of the fake ‘peace’ negotiation with Lebanon is ruse which has born fruit for Iran and its proxy while bearing no potential benefit for either Israel or Lebanon.

The latest round of fighting ended with dangerous concessions: Iran proved that it decides when the fire stops, the IDF lost its freedom of action in Beirut, and we were drawn into a limited guerrilla war in the buffer zone. While Israel clings to illusions that the Lebanese government will dismantle the terrorist organization, it is time to wake up and prepare for a real victory in the next round.

Unfortunately, the latest round of confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, which began after the terrorist organization rallied to Iran’s side in its war against the US and Israel, ended with three important achievements that we handed, with our own two hands, to Hezbollah and to Iran, which stands behind it.

Although Israel doesn’t have aircraft carriers or the ability to project its air power globally, additional F-35 purchases makes Israel a global leader in the use of the aircraft.

Israel’s rapid expansion of its air force amidst the current multi-front war is transforming the nation into a major military power.

Peloni:  The platform which provided the basis for one of the best informed advocates of reason and truth, Natasha Hausdorff, to be railroaded by fictional data and false narratives is a troubling development in the West.  From CNN to Pierce Morgan, the world is promoting support for barbarism over its victims, and this campaign to ill inform those who are ill informed continues to have an effect around the world.

Peloni:  The desperation to continue funding the terrorist organization known as the Palestinian Authoritity persists, and only willful blindness fuels the ability to do so while ignoring the slaughter which funds go towards the murder of innocents.  The slaughter of innocent Jews is not an interest of the PA, it is their motivating ethos.  End the funding for the PA, end their reign of terror, and simply end the the PA itself.

French President Emmanuel Macron could not have been clearer.

Standing alongside Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas at a press conference following their meeting in Paris last November — “the first visit,” he pointed out, “by a Palestinian president since France recognized the State of Palestine on September 22, 2025” — Macron expressed confidence in the Palestinian leaders’ assurance that “pay to slay” stipends were no longer being disbursed to jailed Palestinian terrorists and their families.

Peloni: Eitan Fischberger released a shocking report about the highly referenced social media account “Clash Report.” In this report, Fischberger argues that Clash Report is not an independent source of news but, rather, it is part of a Turkish media network.  He explains that Clash Report is linked to the Turkish platform GDH which is in turn operated by a company called Monolog Medya and the ties between this company and the Erdogan family and inner circle is disturbingly overlapping.   He sums up this relationship as follows:

“The English-language division of a Turkish-language news brand, run by a company whose owner is a veteran of Turkish state media, whose client roster includes the personal foundation of the Erdo?an family and the flagship festival of Erdo?an’s son-in-law, edited by people trained in Turkish state media, and hosted by someone who promotes confirmed Muslim Brotherhood leaders on his personal feed.”

China is Iran’s top trading partner and one of the regime’s most important economic lifelines. Beijing is not seeking a wider Middle East war, especially one that threatens energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. But it has provided Tehran with support that helps the regime absorb pressure, generate revenue, and sustain parts of its military-industrial base. This includes oil purchases, diplomatic cover, sanctions-evasion assistance, and reported dual-use transfers tied to Iran’s missile program. China’s approach is opportunistic: Beijing seeks to preserve Iran as a useful anti-American partner while limiting the risk to China’s own interests, especially the risk of provoking stronger U.S. action that could undermine the current U.S.-China trade truce.

Peloni:  At some point, Trump will come to realize what seems impossible for him to accept, namely that the very ideology with which he is trying to conduct a business deal has no interest in what Trump is trying to offer them, ie survival.   They mean to bring forth the Mahdi, and they believe that attempt by Trump to subdue them, only serves to expediate the potential fulfillment of their Armageddonist credo, and despite Trump’s very generous terms, their beliefs are not for sale at any price.

After Iran reportedly submitted a new proposal to the United States for ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media revealed details that indicate that Tehran has not softened its position.

Peloni:  Bravo to Jonathan Feldstein!  As we possibly move closer to regime change taking shape in Iran, the greatest challenge of all will be to see that MEK is not installed in power in the post-Mullah/IRGC era, neither on the short nor long term basis.  Doing so would become just the latest betrayal of the Iranian people by the West.  As was explained to me by a confidential source before the war began, the US would need a substantive organization to step up and fill in the gap of governance which would come in the wake of the Mullahs/IRGC collapsing, and the MEK would seamlessly be capable of doing so, as assessed by, and with the support of, far too many in the halls of power inside Washington.  As Feldstein explains below, replacing the current regime with MEK would simply lead to the swapping one villainous anti-Western Islamist leadership for another, begging the question as to why that might be.  Of course, Feldstein explains this as well.

“People change,” the press “agent” of the front organization for the terrorist MEK wrote to me, trying to convince me – or himself – that he was not taking blood money for promoting these terror groups. In fact, there has been no history, ever, of an Islamic terrorist group “changing,” only using different tactics, titles, and the Islamic principle of taqiyya – lying to infields. In my mind, the “agent” is a traitor of the US and the West, selling out to make a buck.
