Peloni:  Honickman addresses the matter of the crisis surrounding the hostage crisis in the most accurate fashion possible.  The simple reality is that while the tragedy surrounding the hostages can never be ignored, it can not be allowed to dictate national strategy.  The attempt to manipulate Israeli strategy based around the fate of these victims was in fact the very reason why they were taken in the first place, and thus far, this fact has hobbled Israel’s response to the October 7 slaughter and the months long missile attacks from Gaza.  While including the return of the hostages as one of the war aims was inevitable, it nevertheless should never have been made the primary war aim.  It is time to end the war, not thru negotiations, and not in surrender, but in an overwhelming effort to effect a final victory over Hamas.

The hostage dilemma we can’t keep avoiding. We are doing everything we can to bring  them home — and we must continue to do so. But we cannot destroy Israel in the name of saving it. Opinion.

A friend and fellow author sent me, unfortunately, some current disturbing news that I had a bad feeling earlier was going to happen.

So let me get this straight as I’m seeing this unfold:

Houthis give Western and other shipping nations guarantees of no attack, but it continues to remain ok to blast Israel.

Peloni:  This is how Iran negotiates, with deception and terror.  Time for the West to wake up and end the reign of this hostile regime in Tehran.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | May 7, 2025

Is the Ayatollah regime a threat to the US?

*It has been claimed that Iran’s Ayatollah regime does not pose a threat to the US, nor would a nuclear Iran. Moreover, it has been suggested that just like a nuclear India, Pakistan and North Korea, a nuclear Iran may be a regional threat (e.g., North Korea), but not a global threat to the US.

*However, unlike India, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia and China, a nuclear Ayatollah regime would be the first ever apocalyptically megalomaniacal regime.

Peloni: Iranian hudna begins as they attempt to wait out the Trump administration.

Iran wants a deal with the US, and it wants to have amicable relations with Europe today.

Iran has paid close attention to the decision by the Houthis to come to an agreement with the US. Oman helped mediate this agreement. Iran is watching the plans by US President Donald Trump to visit the region, and it is seeking to continue talks with the US.

Peloni:  So is Prof. Gil-White’s conclusion correct?  Are we being deceived by Trump commitment to deal with the Iranian menace?  Or is he the real deal?  And if the latter is true, how do we square the facts raised by Gil-White with reality?

Peloni:  So begins Iran’s effort for the Mullahs and their proxies to outlast Trump.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump just announced in the Oval Office that the Houthi terrorists in Yemen have told American officials that they will stop all of their attacks, including on international shipping in and around the Red Sea.

Peloni:  A fascinating interview with Mike Doran in which he explains the historical basis for Israel being viewed by the US as both an asset and liability, as well as how that relates to Trump’s policy following along the lines of Obama, to a point.  He also explains that Netanyahu has to walk a fine line with Trump in such a way as to support those voices in Trumps cabinet who would call for striking Iran over those voices who would hold him to the Obama-like measured approach.  Much more as well.

Peloni:  A very interesting conversation.  Focus on the last 15min.

For months, the Israeli public has been caught between two heartbreaking demands: the desperate plea to bring our hostages home, and the urgent need to eliminate the Hamas threat once and for all so that Israelis are never threatened again from Gaza.

President Trump signed an executive order yesterday that freezes Federal funding for dangerous gain-of-function (GOF) virus “research” overseas in countries like China and Iran, while placing a moratorium on these kinds of bioweapon projects here in the United States.

It is critical to appreciate that President Obama exported this deadly GOF “research” to China, and Fauci along with his Intelligence-Industrial Complex handlers (who owned many of the “vaccine” patents years before their scamdemic) leveraged this illicit CCP partnership in order to deliberately release the COVID-19 virus along with the very same GOF technology contained in the associated and far deadlier slow kill bioweapon “vaccines.”

Here is Trump during yesterday’s signing of his executive order:

Peloni:  YNET News reports that “According to the military, Yousef Qadi, a Hamas platoon commander who participated in the massacre and oversaw the captivity of several hostages later released, was captured along with Mohammad Zaarab, a senior member of Hamas’ sniper unit.”

Israeli forces capture terrorists tied to October 7 massacre as Gaza operation expands and critical intelligence is uncovered.

Peloni: The US should focus its efforts on both maximal economic pressure and military strikes to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities.  These don’t contradict each other, but are complimentary efforts which would limit the capabilities of the current regime and advantage the Iranian opposition, but the Iranian opposition has a role to play as well and there is much which the US could do to directly support the opposition forces as well.

By Hugh Fitzgerald | May 5, 2025

How should the Americans hasten the fall of the Iranian regime? They must tighten the economic screws. They must not lift sanctions, but double down on sanctions. The Iranians, with one-third of them now living below the poverty line, are in despair. They realize how many tens of billions of dollars their despotic regime of fanatical Muslims has spent on Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Assad’s Syria, only to see it all — tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons — go up in smoke.
