Recently a friend and fellow author, Victor Sharpe, alerted me to an interview by Israeli journalist Ariel Kahana with Hamas and other Arab perpetrators of the atrocities of October 7th 2023 in which it became clear that there was absolutely no remorse whatsoever for the deliberate butchery committed.

This was reminiscent of the unrepentant cruelty described in 1963, while covering the Eichmann trial in Israel and penned by Hannah Arendt, as the “Banality of Evil” referring to Nazi perpetrators of the Holocaust.

During the months of the war against the Hamas perpetrators of the October, 2023 Nakba massacre of Jewish men, women, children and babies in Israel, Ariel Kahana met the cruelest of these Palestinian murderers, those who committed the inconceivable crimes on October 7. ‘What stands out most, was their utmost banality.

As Hannah Arendt said, the Banality of Evil.

On Friday, I landed here in the American capital just about the time that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu and his team were arriving back in Israel after their “emergency” trip to Washington and three-hour meeting with President Donald J. Trump.

1. Peloni:  This is an important letter written by Morton Klein, President of ZOA in which he draws attention to the failure of Heritage Foundation’s President Kevin Roberts and Heritage foundation itself to address the close association with Tucker Carlson and the bigoted positions adopted by Carlson, despite Roberts having promised to do so more than six weeks ago.

Peloni:  Setback in Califorinia using federal funding as leverage.  Trump should turn to charging these institutions with Civil Rights violations under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Law.

Peloni:  The Sunni states seek to maintain Iran as the perfect counter to an even stronger Israel.  Their own weakness is what has drawn them to seek the preservation of an Islamist Iran, even if it remains as a Shia Islamist state.

Peloni:  None of this is new, shocking or in question.  The preference to pretend that the LAF can act against the Shia majority’s sacred cow, Hezbollah, is quite difficult to argue as being based on misconceptions, as these misconceptions continue to be leveraged to keep Hezbollah in power in Lebanon while also continue to be fed massive annuities in the form of aid at the expense of US taxpayers.  Washington needs to end the charade which keeps the terrorists in Lebanon funded.  This is the minimum which should be understood to be in the interest of Trump’s pursuit of eliminating waste, fraud and abuse, all of which have played a hand in funding the terrorists regimes in the Middle East, and continues to fund the Hezbollah aligned LAF.

Some senior U.S. officials believe showering the Lebanese government with praise will hasten disarming Hezbollah.

In a statement issued on February 9, U.S. CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper lauded the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) for “recently finding a massive underground Hezbollah tunnel for the second time in the past two months.”  The tone of his comments recalled remarks made last August by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who advocated for a mutual defense agreement with the United States. But Graham’s endorsement of the LAF has now soured. Earlier this month, Graham abruptly ended a direct meeting with LAF Commander Rodolphe Haykal after the latter stated that Hezbollah was not a terrorist organization “in the context of Lebanon.”

Peloni:  What should we expect to be included in a constitution written by terrorists?  There are no surprises here.  Perhaps Jared Kushner should read the constitution and explain how this represents either reform in the PA or their interest in achieving peace.

We’re not building a nation, we’re building a terrorist movement at war with us.

by Daniel Greenfield | Feb 16, 2026

The nation building experiments in Afghanistan and Iraq were obviously doomed when their new 2004 and 2005 ‘constitutions’ declared them to be Islamic nations based on Islamic law.

Our latest experiment in nation building, trying to create a ‘Palestinian’ state in Gaza, is going the same way. After assembling a slate of PLO officials to administer Gaza under the authority of the Board of Peace, the Islamic-Marxist terrorist group, which operates under the name of the ‘Palestinian Authority’ and calls itself the ‘State of Palestine’, announced its draft constitution.

Peloni:  A truly joyous reckoning is taking shape, and this is only the beginning.

In 1967, Israel took back by force of arms from Jordan the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount that is the holiest site in Judaism. For the first time since the 1948 war, Jews could now visit the Temple Mount. However, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan made a fateful decision, intended to lessen tensions and prevent a violent outburst from the Arabs, already smarting from their defeat in the Six-Day War. He prohibited Jews from praying, or bringing with them prayerbooks, or from wearing tefillin, when visiting the Mount. In fact, Jews were not even allowed to silently mouth prayers. Israeli police monitored the Mount and stopped any Jews who were. violating those rules.

Peloni:  Notably, Turkey’s branch of the Muslim Brotherhood is one of those which the US has thus far chosen to not ban, even as Turkey continues to carry significant influence in Washington, two facts which are obviously related.  Turkey’s deep seeded connection to the Muslim Brotherhood also supports Ankara’s support for Hamas, and their naming of one of the mosques built in Gaza being named to celebrate an Islamist jihadist.  Turkey must be isolated from having any role in Gaza.

Turkey’s Diyanet Foundation opened three mosques in Gaza ahead of Ramadan, part of Ankara’s broader effort to expand religious and political influence in the enclave.

Peloni:  Mansur Ashkar provides a deep dive review of the man leading the changes taking place in Trump’s second term related to Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, ie Amb. Tom Barrack.   Ashkar discusses the past DOJ charges brought against Barrack during the Biden administration, his ties to the Gulf states and seriously disturbing questions raised by new revelations found in the Epstein files. In looking into these details, Ashkar asks the obvious question of whether this is truly the man that Trump should be trusting with the re-invention of the northern Levant?

The relentless but stealthy Islamic jihad against America has been going on for decades, but now it is no longer stealthy. Today everything is out in the open. Construction of enormous Islamic centers across our country continues apace. Claims of ecumenism and brotherhood accompany this expansion as a means of dulling our perception of the determined Islamic supremacy that underpins every move. This has always been Islam’s modus operandi in the western countries it has infiltrated and seeks to conquer from within.

Peloni:  This is an important video, and if it were not, I wouldn’t have posted it given Steve Bannon’s open embrace of rising antisemitic rhetoric including his call for the conquest of Jerusalem.  Tina Peters is one of the most important players in the past years in exposing the election fraud in the 2020 US elections, something which came to change the world in many significant and unfortunate ways.  The vehemence with which she was over charged and sentenced to nearly a decade in jail demonstrates the literal terror which she evokes by those who value the systematic fraud which she exposed.  Notably, this sentence is not a jail sentence, but an almost certain death sentence as is discussed in the video.  It also discusses the level to which the establishment which imprisoned her has gone to keep her in prison and why this is so.  Tina Peters is an amazing woman of courage and conviction, and who I hope to see survive this deathtrap laid out for her having done what was necessary to document the shenanigans which took place under her watchful eye during the 2020 election.

Peloni:  The Hashemites remain as the greatest obstacle to Trump’s relocation plan.  Their shelf life is nearing its end, and when they finally go it must be remembered that the demographics, logistics, history, and international law all lend themselves towards recognizing that Jordan is the Forgotten Palestinian Muslim state.  Such a recognition would solve many regional problems.

Ever since taking office for his second term, President Donald Trump has regularly spoken about the Nobel Peace Prize, and this month marks one year since President Trump presented his idea during a White House press conference that Gaza’s population be relocated to “a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land” in another country.

Peloni:  The eye-witness testimony given by Segev Kalfon, as he recounts the conversations of Hamas leadership regarding future plans and past recriminations related to the October 7 Massacre, needs to be shared far and wide.  Too many people in high places are acting as if they are oblivious to what should be common knowledge, but it seems it is not common enough to gain influence over the likes of Trump’s trusted Mideast Envoys who are delusionally fantasizing over the belief that ‘everyone wants peace’.

For months, the world has clung to a comforting illusion that Hamas can be “managed,” deterred, contained, reasoned with. That October 7th was an “outburst,” a “desperation move,” something that can be prevented next time with the right arrangements, the right mediators, the right formulas.
