Many if not most Americans and westerners will cringe at the language used below by President Trump against Iran threatening that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
Peloni: There is an incompatibility in Western culture with an anti-Western value system which is being mined into societies across the Western world. This is both intolerable and unacceptable, and must be resisted while reinforcing and reasserting the Judeo-Christian values which made the Western World the bastion of freedom and liberty being warred upon by the union of a Islamist and Marxists Cabal.
A culture shaped by the Enlightenment cannot be overrun by a medieval culture that refuses to change, and it is up to Europe to save itself.
Explaining the decline of the Roman Empire in The Story of Civilization, Will Durant wrote: “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.” The same could become true of the European Union (EU) in the 21st century. Postmodern illusions of a benign and righteous multiculturalism are allowing Islamist ideology—which has no reservations about its supremacist ambitions—to spread its roots with unprecedented virulence.
The PA is skewing the Home Front’s rules meant for protection of worshipers during the ongoing war to claim danger to Al Aksa and incite the Arab population. This is nothing new.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) never wastes an opportunity to foment incitement against Israel. Since the US and Israel launched a military campaign against the Iranian regime on February 28, 2026, Israel initiated a nationwide state of emergency prohibiting mass gatherings at all major religious places of worship, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Western Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, citing the risk of retaliatory missile strikes in densely populated areas.
“Drawings Against Genocide” was the title of a recent gallery exhibit in the seaside town of Margate, Kent, featuring illustrations by British artist Matthew Collings.
“Drawings For Genocide” would have been more like it.
Peloni: Zineb Riboua, research fellow with Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, explains that regime change in Iran is increasingly likely and that conditions are aligning to make it happen without a traditional ground invasion. Weakened internally by economic collapse, public unrest, and declining legitimacy, while externally facing sustained pressure from the U.S. and Israel the moment is maturing in which a final piece of the puzzle might finally be put into play. Internal dissatisfaction among Iranians is this key factor, as regime change will, and should, come from within Iran rather than being imposed exclusively by outside forces alone. To achieve the point of critical mass where the scales between the power of the Iranian people and that of the IRGC, the US-Israeli coalition have come to employ specific military strikes, financial pressure, and disruption of the regime’s power structures. The rest will be in the hands of the Iranian people themselves, who have likely been motivated well enough to act on this opportunity, but still needs the arms and munitions to clean up what remains of the power structure still held by the IRGC. But that too is being attended to according to recent statements by Trump.
SOURCES: IRAN HAS THREATENED TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST ISRAEL – AND THE UNITED STATES HAS RESPONDED WITH A WARNING THAT IT COULD “WIPE IRAN OFF THE MAP.”
Any use of chemical weapons wouldn’t stay contained — it would unleash dangerous contamination across the entire region, far beyond Israel.
Israel is preparing for a further escalation in the war against Iran and is drawing up plans to strike the regime’s energy facilities, Israeli and U.S. media reported.
Thus spake the current president of the United States of America of the tyrants in Teheran and not for the first time exposed his misreading of these Shiite Muslim priests.
The regime of previously forcibly Arabized and Islamized genocidal maniacs, which you seem to be defending with your accusations against America, has—for almost half century—been responsible, either by itself or via Sunni Arab proxies, for launching a continuous campaign of death, terrorism, and destruction against peaceful neighbors.
The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals in New York City has reinstated a $655.5 million judgment in a long-running lawsuit by American citizens who were victims of terrorism during the Second Intifada, which took place from late September 2000 to about 2005. The judgment obligates the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to pay these victims, and the money is likely to come out of accounts that the PA holds in American banks.

Whoever ignores the background noise (including Trump’s own) — and tries to adhere to the objective that was already set long ago by Trump and Netanyahu: the conquest of Iran, at least Venezuela-style —
The rot that is Malta today began with a philandering Socialist politician named Dom Mintoff who dominated the politics of a small Mediterranean island and was prone to erotic impulses.
No, it’s not “presidential.”
And that’s exactly why it matters.
For years, we’ve been conditioned to expect our leaders to speak in polished clichés, to hide behind diplomatic language, to pretend that evil can be negotiated with if only the tone is right. We were told that restraint is strength, that ambiguity is wisdom, that carefully worded statements somehow keep us safer.
Peloni: In the following linked article, Tablet’s Liel Leibovitz details how the widespread narrative of “Jewish settler terrorism” is exaggerated and often misleading, driven by media, political, and institutional incentives rather than supportive data.
Leibovitz explains that reports frequently conflate different types of incidents,especially combining Palestinian casualties from clashes with the Israeli military with alleged settler violence, thereby creating the appearance of a major trend. He further explains that cited cases omit key context, such as Palestinian attacks that preceded Israeli responses, and that statistical methods (e.g., by UN bodies) use overly broad definitions of “violence.”
Peloni: Reality on the ground has had a palpable shift to the right, so much so that on a non-binding vote, the Knesset entirely (sans the Arab MKs) supported recognizing sovereignty in J&S. This was not imaginable three years ago. So, while the relevance and accuracy of polling can be debated, the changes are evident everywhere.
To best understand Israel, think of it as a reverse Europe.
According to a recent Maariv poll published this past week conducted by Lazar Research, led by Dr. Menahem Lazar in collaboration with Panel4All, a majority of first-time voters in Israel’s upcoming Knesset elections-young people between the ages of 18 and 22-identify as right-wing.
