No one should want ceasefire in Gaza until clear defeat of Hamas  

Peloni:  Unconditional surrender should be the only terms offered to the evil scourge which conducted the October 7 slaughter.  This was the limit of US tolerance shown to the Nazis and it should be the limit of tolerance shown Hamas.  It is an American concept, based on the understanding that the forces we are facing are altogether evil, and their complete eradication is entirely necessary for any possible peace to result from this war.  The only thing which should be negotiated is on what day Hamas will capitulate, void of any terms or reprieve.

The goal for Hamas has never been a two-state solution or co-existence. Its charter, still unchanged, calls for the annihilation of Israel.

Imagine what would have happened if Japan hadn’t agreed to surrender in 1945. Or if Germany had remained undefeated after World War II. Even after their regimes had dragged their countries into catastrophic wars—wars they started—what if the world had simply stopped fighting and walked away?

Terror in Colorado  

Peloni:  At last, we hear mention by US officials of recognizing this latest terror attack against Jews in the US as being terrorism, even as the locals continue to be either too shy or too ignorant to do so.   The full scope of anti-terrorism laws should always have been employed while addressing the the antisemitic terrorism sweeping across the US, and prosecutions should be pursued against not only the perpetrators of the antisemitic terrorism, but those who are funding it as well.

Why Iran Must Be Denied Any Uranium Enrichment  

Allowing Iran to keep even a civil nuclear program is still too great a risk for regional and international security

Saeed Ghasseminejad | May 30, 2025

The consensus that recently emerged within the Trump administration rightly identifies the absolute necessity of permanently preventing the Islamic Republic from enriching uranium on its own soil. The Trump administration must remain firm on this issue and not weaken this requirement with “creative” solutions. To allow the Islamist regime in Tehran such a capability is to pave a pathway, however disguised, to a nuclear bomb—an outcome the world can ill afford.

The Repercussions of a UN Recognition of Palestine  

By Ted Belman (Originally published in April 2011)

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been hard at work of late lining up votes in the UNGA for the recognition of the state of Palestine with pre ’67 borders with the eastern part of Jerusalem as its capital.  They intend to use the “Uniting for Peace” procedure to avoid a possible UNSC veto regardless of whether the procedure is legal. (See; The UN Charter Cannot Support GA Resolution 377). Were they to get such recognition the repercussions would be significant.

Alan Baker, who was legal counsel for Israel in the drafting of the Oslo Accords and is currently associated with the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs, recently published The Palestinian UN Gamble — Irresponsible and Ill-Advised. He summarized his article as follows:

Huckabee: Let France Make a Palestinian State out of French Riviera  

Peloni:  The attempt by America’s European allies to carve a Pal state from the strategic, ancestral heartlands of the Jewish State should be met with the full force of American political and economic consequences.  The attempt to force such a demand on Israel defies logic, reason and international law, while it will also lead to greater destabilization in the region, even as the US is currently trying (against all reason) to tease the Mullahs into abandoning their nuclear ambitions.

Full interview can be seen HERE

Statement made by US Amb. Huckabee as he explains that the US will NOT be part of France’s ruse supporting a Pal state at the expense of Israel.

A secular jihadi brings the intifada to Washington  

Clifford D. May | FDD | May 28, 2025

Not so long ago, homicidal antisemitism in America was widely regarded as peculiar to neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right extremists, men such as Robert Gregory Bowers who, in 2018, murdered 11 worshippers and wounded six more at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.

Meanwhile, within the American left, antisemitism has been metastasizing. Last week, we saw the results.

A college-educated terrorist shot and killed – “allegedly” if you insist, but he admitted it and there’s surveillance footage – Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.

It’s time for clarity.  

Avi Abelow

Once again, Israel has accepted an immoral hostage deal that does not free all our hostages, does not dismantle Hamas, and in fact allows our Islamonaz*I enemy in Gaza to regroup and tighten its grip over the population of Gaza.

The infuriating thing is that any deal that fails to free all the hostages and simultaneously weakens Hamas is a dangerous, immoral deal. It’s a delay tactic — one that buys Hamas time to regroup to kill more of us.

Jewish Campus Protesters Against Israel  

By Walter E. Block

Are you ready for the latest missive from the New York Times, the newspaper that brought you Walter Duranty who assured everyone that Stalin, if not the prince of men, was at least on the side of the angels and greatly misunderstood?

In the same fallacious vein Peter Beinart now assures us that “Trump Doesn’t Want to Protect All Jewish Students — Just Those on His Team.”

Amid New IAEA Reports, U.S. and E3 to Push Resolution Declaring Iran in Breach of Non-Proliferation Obligations  

FDD,  May 31, 2025

Latest Development

  • U.S. to Draft Resolution with E3 Partners: The United States, along with allies Britain, France, and Germany — known as the E3 — plans to submit a resolution to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board that would declare Iran non-compliant with its non-proliferation obligations. If adopted, it would be the first time in 20 years that the IAEA has formally declared Iran in violation of these obligations, a step which prompted the U.N. Security Council to levy sanctions against the Islamic Republic in 2006.

Canadian senator speaks out about Canada’s soaring antisemitism and how ‘Jews are no longer safe  

Peloni:  Elections have consequences, and an unfortunate consequence of the recent Canadian election was to elect a govt which openly tolerates and supports and practices antisemitism in Canada.

By

Housakos referred to a recent incident when the Liberal government summoned the Israeli ambassador to slam Israel because the IDF fired warning shots when an EU-Arab delegation that included Canadian diplomats violated agreed-upon boundaries which were established prior to their delegation’s trip to “a combat area.” The group deviated from the war-zone path, which was an extremely dangerous and foolish move. Even worse was their outrage at the shots, despite the fact that they were in the wrong.

On the Temple Mount, the Right for All to Pray Must Be Affirmed  

Peloni:  Israel is often falsely accused by the likes of the latest Hashemite scion as failing to enforce freedom of worship for its Arab inhabitants, most notably with these libels being focused on the Temple Mount.  The unfortunate truth is that Israel has failed to enforce the freedom of worship, but for its Jewish inhabitants, not the Arabs, and specifically on the Temple Mount.  While the purpose of Abdullah’s repeated libels on this point are intended as a call to violence, Ben Gvir’s attempts to highlight the truth of the situation on the Temple Mount are intended to undo the injustice which was systematically installed by Moshe Dayan’s post-67 War folly.  The promise of supporting all faiths in the Jewish state should not be isolated from including the Jews, and yet it is.

By

Seth Mandel has just written about Jerusalem, the city the Muslims call Al-Quds and that they claim belongs to the Arabs and Muslims, for it is from Jerusalem, and the place known to the Western world as the Temple Mount, that Muhammad made his Night Journey (miraj), on his fabulous wingèd steed Al-Buraq, going up to the Seventh Heaven and back within 24 hours. The connection, then, of Muslims to Jerusalem is one based purely on religious belief. The connection of the Jews to Jerusalem does not require any religious belief. It is history, not fantasy, that connects the Jews to Jerusalem — a history that goes back some 3500 years. “The Jews Are Jerusalem’s Only Hope,”

America Doesn’t Need ‘International Students’  

From 9/11 to Chinese spying to the Hamas campus riots, they’re just not worth it.

There are over 1 million foreign students in the United States. The largest group by far are Chinese students whose numbers have fluctuated between a third and a quarter of a million. These students are in America to gain training in this country, not only at top universities like Harvard, but at tech companies, before taking their knowledge and skills back to China.

Justice and jihad: How radical Islam and the progressive Left seek to undermine America  

Peloni:  It has been said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, but the moral decay and political corruption  in the West is such that good men must do everything to have any hope of beating back the evil which has become institutionalized in the very agencies, organizations, society and infrastructures of the West which were  meant to safeguard the West which currently inhabits it like a lethal virus.

“The future of our country is still in our hands” says Adam Milstein. We have overcome external enemies and internal divisions.

“This American empire must fall”

This statement did not come from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from Vladimir Putin of Russia, or from China’s Xi Jinping. It came from a Muslim American resident of Dearborn, Michigan, who added: “People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down.”

Trump’s War against UNRWA  

By Ted Belman, AMERICAN THINKER (Originally published on Feb 24, 2019.)

In August 2017, President Trump declared war on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) by rejecting its estimate of over 5 million Palestinian refugees, suggesting that the number was more like 500,000. In effect he was saying that a new definition should be operative. If he were to exclude descendants, there would be fewer than 20,000 people still living who fled in 1948

The State Department followed this attack up by announcing that the US would make no further contribution to UNRWA.

The intent wasn’t to save money or shift the financial burden to others, but rather was to begin the process of doing away with UNRWA itself because it served to perpetuate the refugee problem and the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, rather than to solve it. And President Trump, and his envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, wanted to solve it.

New York Times Suddenly Concerned About Palantir Data Compilation and Building of Surveillance State  

Peloni:  The surveillance state apparatus which began with the Patriot Act is getting an upgrade thru the deployment of AI in such a way which is certain to leave some more equal than others, so to speak.  When the American Republic was founded, the central focus of the dignity of men and the primacy of personal liberty was a revolutionary theme.  This theme is now being redefined such that govt oversight is to replace the central focus, calling to mind the statement attributed to Benjamin Franklin when questioned if America was to be an autocracy or a republic: ” A republic, if you can keep it.”

The New York Times (think DHS embeds) are not concerned about the building of a surveillance state using cross-reference artificial intelligence systems into various government agencies; no, the New York Times (think DHS embeds) are concerned it is President Trump triggering the building of the process, and the parameters therein.
