Peloni: As noted previously, Tucker Carlson’s attacks on Israel are neither substantive nor rational.  They are based on manipulated facts, purjored testimonies, and perverse conclusions.  His attempts in doing so lay bare the great hypocrisy in his narratives, all of which are aimed at either defeating the US-Israeli alliance or splitting the MAGA movement in the US.  Carlson’s latest assault on Israel, calling for the legitimate right of Arabs in the PA to vote in Israeli elections is neither sincere nor material.  He should not have been granted the platform on Israeli Channel 12, nor on any other legitimate media platform either.  Doing so only promotes the disinformation projected as honest debate, as was clearly the case in the recent interview indicated below.

Tucker Carlson, who has devoted much of his career to warning against the danger of non-citizens voting in American elections, now says that non-citizens should be allowed to vote—in Israel, that is.

J Street’s opposition to the buffer zone stems from an abstract ideological discomfort. The debate should center instead on what can be done so that Israeli families can live without thousands of rockets aimed at their homes from a few miles away.

For decades, critics of Israel’s security policy have insisted that buffer zones “don’t work” and that only negotiations can stop terrorism. J Street’s recent campaign against a possible long-term Israeli security presence in southern Lebanon repeats the same argument yet again.

Peloni:  FDD’s Ryan Brobst and Jonathan Schanzer discuss the development and import of the use of drones in modern warfare.  They also address the techniques which can be used to counter the drones and the threat posed for Israel in Lebanon.

As the ‘cease fire’ in Lebanon continues seemingly without end, the casualty list emanating from attacks by these FPV drones is having growing nearly daily.

Peloni:  Trump uses Gulf  ‘allies’ as both intermediaries presumably acting as peace negotiators and now as accepts their advise on canceling his long threatened return to war following Tehran’s obfuscation.  This places Trump’s Sunni allies in a position by which to both mislead Trump and to undermine American objectives in the same moment, and of course, this is exactly what has take form over and over again as Trump has been going thru a number of negotiation bouts over the past more than a year now.  It is time to finish the job, and at the same time, to finish any reliance or credibility being offered to the Sunni nations, all of whom simply want to preserve Iran as the regional opposition to the dominance of both America and Israel in the region.

Mahmoud Abbas has been preparing the ground for his successor now that he has turned 90. He naturally favors his son — what doting father wouldn’t? — Yasser Abbas. Yasser is a multi-millionaire, who made his millions fair and square, by being awarded a monopoly on the sale of tobacco in the territory that the Palestinian Authority controls, and by owning a hugely successful contracting business in the same area. More about Yasser Abbas’ new responsibility can be found here: “Palestinian Leader’s Son Wins Role in Abbas’ Party, Official Says,” Algemeiner, May 17, 2026:

Today I continue my theme of Israel’s growing strength. And what better way to begin than with Yom Yerushalayim, which occurred this past Friday.

We celebrate on the anniversary of the day that Jerusalem was reunited with great bravery during the Six Day War of 1967: the third day of the war, which was June 7th. We celebrate the Hebrew date, 28 Iyar.
Indeed we were tough and resolute (amazing, actually) as we fought that war. And when we gained control of the Old City in eastern Jerusalem, where the Kotel (the Western Wall) and the Temple Mount are situated, we were then filled with joy and great gratitude. For 19 years Jews had been forbidden access to this area by Jordan.

Peloni:  At some point, the reality that Iran will not submit to Trump’s terms will set in.  Til it does, Iran will continue tapping Trump along with the help of its allies in Qatar, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan.

The IRGC has submitted yet another “final proposal” to the U.S., but it’s the same recycled draft demanding a full American withdrawal from the Middle East, sanctions lifted, frozen assets released, reparations paid, and the Hormuz blockade ended.

Peloni:  As calls to ‘Free Gaza’ from around the world led to the creation of a 20 Point Plan, later officially introduced into UN Security Council Resolution 2803, the result has been anything but freedom in Gaza as its inhabitants have been re-interred under the same warlords which were elected in Gaza over twenty years ago.  The effect of all of this has in fact left the people of Gaza to be trafficked, maimed, murdered, raped and, in all ways acknowledgeable by the norms of the modern world, abused as the cage in which they were institutionalized in a warped society with the single goal of weaponizing the public as a tool by which to attack Israel and the Jews.  Statements made by Pres. Trump shortly after returning to office regarding the need to relocate the population of Gaza presaged a path towards real freedom for the people of Gaza, where they would not endlessly be tokenized as the antisemitic leverage which has become their fate in Gaza.  And yet, while all the addle minded pro-Hamas provocateurs continue to scream for the rights of those in Gaza, their silence amid the re-encarceration of the Gazans under Hamas demonstrates the reality that only Israel has an interest in setting the Gazans free from their forced enslavement where they are subjected to a psychopathic motivation to simply kill Jews.  This weaponization of the Gazan people, not their freedom, is what has been called for by those shouting ‘Free Gaza’, but also this is what has been effected by the famed and immensely flawed 20 Point Plan which has done anything but set Gaza free.

For years, European officials viewed Turkey’s growing defense industry as an important asset. Turkish drones proved effective in conflicts from Libya to Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine. Ankara marketed itself as a NATO ally capable of covering gaps in Europe’s deteriorating defense-industrial base. Now, as the European Union (EU) scrambles to rearm in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war and growing uncertainty about long-term American commitments to Europe, Turkey is once again presenting itself as an irreplaceable security partner.

Peloni:  This article depicts an honest assessment of the outlook of the Qatari leadership.  Even after relentless and unprovoked attacks from Iran, there can be no choice between Iran and Israel.  Yet, these are the primary interlocutors being employed by the US as so-called peace negotiators acting on behalf of America.  By using such third parties, it betrays the reality that the Qatari’s also choose Iran over America.

Peloni:  A highly recommended article.  Dr. Alex Grobman discusses the import by which the inheritance and values which define and describe a nation must be conserved so as to see that these networking national definitions might be handed from one generation to the next, and along with it the national identity which ties the people, tribes and clans into being a single nation rather than as so many people, tribes and clans.  The failure of not only the education system in America, but also so many of its institutions and political norms, have come to see America changing from a nation which cherished it core ethos to a nation caught in a struggle by which to maintain that ethos.  The role of the Jews in American society play a crucial marker regarding the expression of the values under which the American Republic was founded, not because Jews control America as claimed by the manipulating forces on the faux Right and by nearly the entire Left in America, but because Jews flourish when rights are applied with equal measure to all citizens, something which has clearly changed as the political, judicial, social, and educational system in America has taken to choosing winners and losers based around arbitrary political connections rather than based upon a system which is derived from the concept of equal justice.

As America nears its 250th anniversary, the question is not whether the nation deserves applause for what it has achieved. It does. The question is whether Americans still understand and believe in what made those achievements possible

Dr. Alex Grobman | May 19, 2026

America stands at a historic and harrowing crossroads. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the American experiment is being tested by a level of domestic division not seen in generations. The milestone invites celebration, but it demands something more serious: a national audit.

For years, many people rolled their eyes whenever I warned about the growing political power of Israel’s legal establishment and a “deep state” of unelected officials who are constantly working against Netanyahu and his governments from implementing policies to protect our country and strengthen the Jewish identity of the country.

“Conspiracy theories.”

“Paranoia.”

“An attack on democracy.”

There is another definition of what it means to be a bad actor.

Moshe Phillips | May 18, 2026

In a May 10 interview on “60 Minutes,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu complained bitterly about social media: “We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States almost—I would say, it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media.”A key function of this trend is the way critics of Israel use—and often misuse—celebrities. Let’s look at one example.

Last month, memes began appearing all over social media with a quote from actor Richard Gere: “There’s no defense of this occupation. Settlements are such an absurd provocation … .”
