Peloni:  Very important video.  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki explores the role which China is playing in continuing to arm (with advanced technology) despite Chinese assurances otherwise, while also conducting trade with Iran using overland trade routes.  While the issue of the arms going to Iran is significant Wolicki explains this matter has far greater implications than this.  China wants to create a causeway between Pakistan, India and Turkey so as to offset and defeat the US-Israel-Saudi-India plan of the India-Middle East-European Corridor (IMEC), and China’s Pres. Xi is using the presence of the American blockade to force the development and exploration of the Chinese alternative to the IMEC forward.

Peloni:  Even if this poll were accurate, it would be no more material than a poll taken in Iran showing the people favor eliminating the IRGC.   Unless a military force is able to disarm Hezbollah, or displace the IRGC in Iran’s case, the will of the people means nothing.  There is no such force in Lebanon which is independent of Hezbollah.

Peloni:  As Trump was applying maximum pressure on Iran, the Teapot refineries two-step was not the only manner in which the Iranian regime was successfully cheating US sanctions.  Reportedly using a crypto-currency by-pass nearly a billion dollars was funneled to the regime despite the loophole being made known months earlier.  This racket was reported to have continued til at least January of this year.

Peloni:  Must read article by Mark Goldfeder, the Director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, provides a scathing response to the New York Times’ so called defense of Nicholas Kristof’s dog-rape propaganda, and he doesn’t pull any punches.

Enough with the evasion. The criticism was never that sexual abuse allegations should be ignored. The criticism is that you published grotesque, incendiary claims while leaning on sources and allegations that demanded extraordinary scrutiny, not sanctimonious hand-waving.

Peloni:  In an important article by Mark Levin, “Deal or no deal,” he notes that any negotiated settlement with Iran would almost certainly fail as the Iranian regime has a long history of deception, violating agreements, and pursuing extremist ideological goals.  He continues by questioning how a deal could truly prevent Iran from eventually developing nuclear weapons, especially given its existing enriched uranium, missile capabilities, and hidden activities.

Mark also raises concerns about enforcement, arguing that future U.S. administrations or Western allies may lack the will to respond forcefully if Iran violates an agreement again in the future. He also warns that Iran would likely continue supporting proxy groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas regardless of any promises made in negotiations.  Most notably, he explains that the core problem is the nature of the Iranian regime itself rather than simply its nuclear program.

Peloni:  In recent months, Human rights NGOs were demonstrated to have been complicit in terrorism as they acted in compliance with demands made upon them by the likes of Hamas [see video below].  In response to these revelations, Min. Chikli put forward regulations which would expose such terror connections among NGOs.  While opposing these new regulations, Doctors without Borders brought a complaint before the High Court, seemingly to preserve the privacy of the NGOs so as to conceal any involvement with nefarious actors such as Hamas.  The High Court refused to grant the appeal by Doctors with Borders, thus requiring the NGOs to unmask their records…This was a very big deal.  Min. Chikli’s comments celebrating this victory are below.

‘Fighting antisemitism’ by funding antisemitism.

When the New York Times published the false claim that Israeli dogs were ‘raping’ Hamas terrorists, it was sourced to a Hamas-linked group that calls itself the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. After Jewish groups condemned it, a radical leftist groups that calls itself the Nexus Project and claims to fight anti-semitism popped up on X to defend the Times smear, which had been circulated to preempt a report about Hamas rapes, calling it “challenging and important”.

IN-A-NUTSHELL

Pakistan’s attempt to position itself as a negotiating bridge between the United States and Iran is not driven by diplomacy, neutrality, or regional goodwill. It is driven by a deeper strategic calculation: Pakistan believes the regional order is changing rapidly, and if it does not force itself into the center of that transition now, it risks permanent strategic downgrade.

Decades ago, I remember reading an article in Newsday, a newspaper based on Long Island and at that time the eighth largest daily in the country.  It was a first-person admission of the writer’s irresistible attraction to morbidly obese women.  After several family members and friends encouraged him to figure out his obsession by going into therapy, he assented and entered not typical once- or twice-a-week therapy, but five-times-a-week psychoanalysis.

Peloni:  As the Senate Republicans refused to pass any of a number of Trump’s legislative bills, Trump moved to forego supporting the safe choice of endorsing Sen. Cornyn, who is a personal ally of the Republican leadership in the Senate.  The consequence of this is that Trump endorsed Texas AG Ken Paxton who is trailing by about 1.5% in the polls as compared to Cornyn in the general election.  The result of this will mean that Paxton will need more money to support his campaign, and the likelihood is that the Republican Senatorial fund, which is controlled by the head of the Senate, Sen. Thune, will offer Paxton less money than they would have for Cornyn, while claiming that his candidacy is not viable.  This is the same scenario which has been run in past elections which led to electoral defeats by Trump endorsed congressional candidates who opposed the establishment, as does Paxton.  This will be an interesting election to watch as Paxton has been a long standing opponent to the Bush party machine in Texas which previously led to Paxton being impeached on silly charges.

Over four decades, Nicholas Kristof has been a highly respected, humanitarian and compassionate journalist for The New York Times. However, he has totally sullied his reputation by crafting a libelous column on May 11 titled “The Silence that Meets the Rape of Palestinians.” With this piece, he has left the world of effective journalism and has entrenched himself in anti-Zionist activism.

The morning air was cold and damp in German-occupied southern Poland.

Near the town of Oswiecim, dust drifted through old military barracks that still carried the smell of decades of military use. The buildings were worn, heavy, gray, and ordinary-looking.

Peloni:  This is an important video.  The Iranians are acting as they are because of their religious understandings of what surviving the cataclysm of the past war means to them.  Their defiance in the face of what would surely be seen as defeat by others only serves to affirm the righteousness of their cause, the truth of their religion, and the clarity that their survival is the basis of what victory means to them.

Mamdani digs himself deeper into fanatic Islamism.

Earlier this month, Zohran Mamdani shared an official video marking so-called “Nakba Day.” Leaning heavily into standard progressive, anti-Israel spin, the video used isolated family histories to recycle decades-old “blame Israel first” talking points. By falsely portraying the 1948 war purely as a unilateral act of Israeli aggression, the producers of this propaganda deliberately erased crucial historical context. They omitted the fact that five Arab armies invaded the nascent Jewish state, choosing instead to treat refugees from that era as a unique situation in order to foment a perpetual assignment of blame. The very word “Nakba” is politically charged and is used by anti-Israel extremists to refer to the Palestinian refugee situation that developed during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war following the complete Arab rejection of the UN’s partition plan.

Hamas did not need Israel to know nothing. Hamas needed Israel to believe the wrong thing. The lesson of October 7 is that refusing to recognize war when it is being waged against you does not produce peace. It produces surprise, paralysis, and catastrophe

“In Palestine I had been met every day by evidence of the Jewish blindness to the Arab problem,” asserted Richard Crossman, British Labour MP, who served on the 1946 Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. “I was constantly reminded of the gallant politics of Vienna Socialists in 1934. There was the same misguided reliance on foreign aid, the same underestimation of the enemy, the same blind assurance that a cause which is right is also strong.”

That blindness returned with devastating force on October 7.
