Peloni: The very purpose of the survey is to expose the sort of details which are now judged to be too alarming to be detailed in the ADL’s report on antisemitism.
By
The ADL not only conceals Islamic antisemitism; it demonizes and defames those who call attention to it. It has failed in its mission and joined those whom it professes to oppose.

The existential struggle Israel is engaged in is multi-faceted. While my faith remains strong that in the end we will get where we need to be, I have never once suggested that it is easy. Because it is not: it is agonizingly tough.
The battle to take out Hamas, which is a major aspect of our current existential struggle, has been vastly complicated by the fact that this terror group still holds 59 Israeli hostages, some 21 to 24 of whom are thought to be alive. The decision-makers of Hamas function without compassion, without humanity, but they are not stupid. They manipulate human beings as bargaining chips.
I have written about this situation – which is sometimes described as a “Sophie’s choice” scenario – several times. At each juncture, there have been choices that had to be made. A couple of times, we have agreed to a temporary ceasefire – which allowed Hamas the opportunity to regroup, rearm, recruit new members – in order to secure the release of some hostages.
When Muhammad said, “Women are deficient in intelligence,” it is exactly women like these that he had in mind. What he meant was, “Muslim women are deficient in intelligence.” I have presented my evidence that he was right and now challenge any “sister” to prove me wrong.
Da’wah predators and their prey
These are the words of Fahima Muhammed, a purported psychologist, therapist and relationship counsellor in the UK, spoken during an interview on The Muslim mum YouTube channel. The interview was prompted by the latest crisis to hit the beleaguered ummah, brought on by none other than its larger-than-life “Lion of Da’wah”, Mohamed Hijab, a particularly obnoxious narcissist who fancies himself a cross between a sage and Benito Mussolini, and who already has the June 2020 holes-in-the-narrative crisis to his name. This time, our Oxford graduate, political philosopher and academic set the da’wah world on fire when his sexual and emotional abuse of a single-mother da’i (Islamic propagandist; pl. du’at) emerged.

The united Jordanian-Palestinian people are left with no real choice but to align with Israel—strategically and rationally. Most Arab regimes—except for Saudi Arabia—have abandoned us. They backed the Hashemite regime that excluded and impoverished us, and sided with the Muslim Brotherhood and their devilish offspring, Hamas, all while claiming to fight extremism.
Peloni: In what he describes as his most important show, Mark’s first segment explores the roots of Islamist ideology and how it might relate to 9/11, ie if the terrorists had a nuclear bomb, they would have used it on 9/11. He explains that the real threat facing America lies not with stopping Iran from gaining nuclear weapons, but with allowing them to gain nuclear weapons as they have simultaneously developed a Intercontinental Missile program which provides them with the capability to strike the US at will, since the US lacks any sort of missile defense shield. He closes with explaining that foreign policy is about prudence, having good judgement, and that prudence should lead Trump to prevent the Islamist ideologically driven Iran from ever gaining the capability of carrying out a nuclear attack on the US, because they will use it. In the second segment, Mark interviews Col. Richard Kemp who explains that he understands Trump’s interest in trying to negotiate with Iran, but that it must be a very short negotiation which leads to complete and verifiable dismantling of their nuclear program. Kemp also explains that those who advocate for the US to allow Iran to become a nuclear state are themselves promoting Iranian propaganda which is being leveraged by Iran against the West. In the third segment, Mark discusses with Ben Domeneh who relates the campaign which has tried to put daylight between Israel and the US, to the advantage of the Iranians gaining access to nuclear weapons.

The Battle of Vienna by an unknown contemporaneous painter. Public domain.I’ve had sitting on my computer for a few days an essay by Rod Dreher, an American conservative who now lives in Hungary, the only country in Europe making a stand for traditional values and refusing to accept unlimited Islamic immigration. From his perch in Hungary, Dreher has written about his conversations with ordinary Europeans, who believe that civil war is imminent, a war that will see those who share European values arrayed against those who have embraced leftism and Islam.

Thirteen years ago, Daniel Greenfield pointed out that
Murfreesboro, a city in the heart of Tennessee, and, Marseille, France’s second-largest city and its largest city on the Mediterranean coast, have few things in common. The two cities are separated by nearly 5,000 miles, and by equally wide divisions of language and culture. And yet Murfreesboro and Marseille are connected by a common challenge. Both cities have struggled against the creeping rise of the mega mosques.
Peloni: This epitomizes the failure of Jewish leadership in the US. In fact, Shapiro’s failing leadership comes at a pivotal point and over a pivotal issue which will only succeed in leading to further attacks, and not just on himself or his family.

Even by the convoluted standards of politics, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Democrats are playing a strange game after the arson attack over Gaza on the governor’s mansion.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich once again courted controversy and sharp criticism on Monday by suggesting that the destruction of the Hamas terrorist organization is a higher priority in the Gaza war than securing the return of Israeli hostages.
Peloni: Is it not criminal to openly support terrorists in the US? Again, where is Pam Bondi on this?
by Gerald A. Honigman
The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Clifford D. May penned a thought provoking editorial for the Washington Times dealing with the possible attempt by the Trump administration to do the opposite of what Secretary of State Kissinger orchestrated President Nixon to do in the early 1970s: attempt to lure Russia away from Communist China.
Back then, China was the weaker of the Communist pair—today, their positions have reversed.
Mr. May argues, correctly, I believe, that this would be a sorry mistake—one that would leave democracies like Ukraine, Moldova, and Taiwan at the mercy of the new Russian/Soviet empire-building czar wannabe, Vladimir Putin, and the immensely powerful expansionist, equally ruthless Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Across the political spectrum in Tehran — from surly Revolutionary Guards to the regime’s more moderate diplomats and technocrats — the first round of nuclear talks in Oman between the United States and the Islamic Republic has been greeted with a measure of optimism. Iran’s savvy and smug foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, professed himself satisfied. The supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has blessed a second meeting with President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, scheduled in Rome this weekend.
Peloni: Mike Doran and renowned Saudi expert, Bernard Haykel discuss the nationalist revolution taking form under MBS in Saudi Arabia as well as MBS’ vision of modernization and diversification of his nation’s society as he anticipates the Saudi Kingdom becoming the linking hub of the region with Asia, Africa, Europe and America while carefully navigating the dilemmas of doing so. They also discuss MBS’ preference to deal with the US while dealing with the political swings of internal US polarization. Additionally, they discuss the Saudi desire for the US dealing with the threat from Iran but only to the point that Iran won’t carry out any response on Saudi interests.
Once you realize how intimately connected the insubordinate head of Shin Bet is to the wild anti-Netanyahu protest, you begin to understand why Shin Bet has been so negligent re threats against Netanyahu's life.

Chinese Satellites and Arms Support the Houthis and target American and Allied Military Ships (including aircraft carriers)
Stephen Bryen | Weapons & Strategy | Apr 19, 2025
Media reports indicate a Chinese satellite company is supplying the Houthis with imagery to target vessels in the Red Sea, here's an image overlaying the company's satellite imagery coverage in the area along with reported incidents since Dec 2023 (*not synced by date) pic.twitter.com/zw76RunSmH

The US State Department has now confirmed that Chinese satellites are being used to target “commercial shipping” for the Houthis. But that is only part of China’s egregious behavior. Is there an answer to China giving help to the Houthis?
