Peloni:  A must read article.  Dealing with the radicalization within Gaza is not something which should be left to others to do.  Indeed, this is something which only Israel can secure for herself, but for this to take place, it requires Israeli governance to return to Gaza.  Unfortunately, this is something which Netanyahu has divorced himself from doing since the beginning hours of the war without any sign of alteration, as responsibility for Gaza has been handed over the to the auspices of the Board of Peace and its varying cast of characters who all share a single fact: that none of them but Israel will enforce any security for Israelis, as their interests, even for those nations who should be counted most closely to Israel such as the US, have a different set of interests which will qualify any attempt at peace as being something less than necessary for the protection and security of the Israeli people.

The recipe of deradicalization for Gaza is likely to prove a dangerous and unrealistic pipe dream.

One of the most persistent—and pernicious—myths being bandied about in the debate over how to achieve some peaceable resolution to the violence induced by radical Islam in Gaza is the proposed “panacea” of “de-radicalization” of extremist Islamist elements. The rationale underlying the prescription of deradicalization is as glib as it is deceptive.

REMEMBER THIS: Help is on the way, and this President keeps his promises!

The gig is also up at the now-outed leftwing Trump-Deranged antisemite podcasts of Taquar Catarlson, CON-dace Owens, and Steve Bannon.

Peloni: Freedom of speech was chosen to be the First Amendment to the US Constitution specifically because it was considered to be the fundamental basis upon which a democratic govt might exist.  Relatedly, the war on free speech which took root to support the multifaceted scam of Covid came to be the wellspring of tyranny around the world.  While there were countless victims of this wave of tyranny, few achieved the degree of success in challenging this tyranny which Reiner Fuellmich and his “Corona Investigative Committee” before it was derailed.  As if to prove the point that such tyranny is not to be challenged without significantly over-charged penalties, Fuellmich soon came to find that the doors of law and justice closed in around him, as if even a word from him might be judged too great a danger for society to bear.  Indeed, in the age of rigged elections, fake protests, and normalizing terrorism, it might seem that the concept of informed consent is a trivial loss to modern society, but it is the basis upon which modern medicine and medical ethics has long been practiced, and it is upon this hill that Reiner Fuellmich came to realize he would fight his life’s most important battle, a battle which he continues to wage now, even was first stripped of his freedom and later his voice, as societies’ gatekeepers have taken nearly every step to keep him from making contact with the public in his own defense.

In the accounts circulated by his supporters, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is cast as a high-profile German attorney who turned his consumer-law reputation into a public crusade during the COVID era – most visibly through the “Corona Investigative Committee,” a long-form interview platform that hosted scientists, physicians, lawyers, and dissidents from multiple countries.

Peloni:  Study this report carefully, and based on all of this, consider why the US govt would not specifically target the Qatari regime, much less protect them from attack or promote them throughout the world.  Such actions hardly advance an America first agenda.

* Qatar’s strategic alliance with Iran’s Ayatollah regime has been tightened since 2017, in the face of the blockade on Qatar, which was imposed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain. The blockade was imposed due to their accusation that Qatar was fomenting terrorism and subversion in their countries, as well as assisting Al Qaeda, Yemen’s Houthis and other terrorists.

Peloni:  Don’t miss final tweet at the bottom. It appears that the temperature in the region is rising fast with many expecting an imminent attack this weekend.  I still question if Trump will strike Iran during Ramadan.  Recent word of Rubio meeting with Bibi at the end of the month and US troop dispositions being ready in about three weeks time would support this conclusion, unless these are part of a disinformation op.

Peloni:  The claim made that Trump is looking for a way to take the temperature down belies the fact that the rising temperature is the intentional drama being created by Carlson’s one-sided and inaccurate reports which include blood libels and false statements by radical opponents of Israel, overt antisemites and off center ‘historians’.  Consequently, the one who Trump should be specifically addressing in calling for taking down the temperature is actually Carlson.

Peloni:  Including such advocates against Israel’s interests as the Indonesian forces into an organization intended to maintain the peace between Israel and the radical belligerents of Gaza demonstrates the clarity with which the so called International Stabilization Force lacks credibility to pursue much less achieve its intended mission of providing stability to the region.  Note that Indonesia has voted against Israel in 100% of the 185 resolutions raised against Israel in the UN over the past decade.  Nothing demonstrates bias more than such consistency.

As deliberations intensify over the composition of a future international stabilization presence in the Gaza Strip, a prominent pro-Israel advocacy organization has issued a stark and uncompromising warning: any deployment of foreign troops must be anchored in political realism as much as in humanitarian aspiration. Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI), one of the longest-standing pro-Israel organizations in the United States, has publicly opposed proposals to include Indonesian soldiers in a prospective “International Stabilization Force” for Gaza, arguing that states which refuse to recognize Israel’s existence cannot plausibly serve as neutral guarantors of security in a post-conflict environment.

Peloni:  The move towards normalizing Jew Hatred lacks decency, morality, and rationality.  It is a toxin which seeks out alliances with the worst elements of anti-Western values, which actually threatens the future stability and survival of the West in the war being waged against it by Marxists and Islamists both.  Meanwhile, those among the Right in America who have the gravitas and influence to turn this toxic movement into outcasts, seem to be demonstrating the same lack of leadership and control as was seen by the Democrats as they cravenly remained silent before joining the rising din of antisemitism after having allowed it to fester among their followers without any serious opposition.  As the likes of Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation have failed twice to act when it should have been an instantaneous response to what is being spewed by these Leftist wannabees within the Right, it is disappointing that President Trump has not taken up the slack using the bully pulpit of the presidency to describe antisemites as being antisemitic, even when they claim to be supporting him.  Contrary to the notion carried by Megyn Kelly, the Right has a duty to identify what is and is not acceptable among their own adherents, and this becomes particularly true as some of these adherents attempt to mimic the Left in damaging ways which are not limited to their embrace of antisemitism.  Recall that like the Woke Right, Obama too sought to ally with the Iranians against the interests of not just Israel but the US as well.  These charlatan Conservatives have much to explain, but they must first be challenged by someone on the Right, and no one more so than Trump would benefit from seeing this smoldering fire of division on the Right put to rest.

Peloni: I long to see the hopes fulfilled of the one million protestors around the world who support a free Iran. The context of these protests are two-fold. First, there is the reality that the protests of support in the West are the voices of Iranian expats and their supporters, all of whom live in the West while looking towards a future for Iran free from oppression and able to choose a path of freedom for the Iranian people. The question is whether this represents only the perspective of those who were able to flee the tyranny of the Mullahs, or if it speaks to the hopes of the people who have lived under Iranian oppression for nearly 50yrs. Second, these protests, no matter their relevance in Iran, demonstrate a political movement in the West which might be transformed into political weight at the polling booths.  If this is accurate, it might come to be more relevant to what comes next than the first point.

Peloni:  It is also important to neutralize the threat from Hezbollah to help reduce any threat while attacking Iran

Hezbollah, supposedly battered and defeated, still stands and is actively rebuilding. If that is the case, what on earth has Israel been doing over the past two years? Have we merely postponed the inevitable?

by  Prof. Eyal Zisser | Feb 14, 2026

Israel’s agreement to a ceasefire in Lebanon in November 2024, at a moment when Hezbollah was reeling from the blows it had sustained, is increasingly emerging as an unfathomable missed opportunity. We had a rare chance to decisively defeat the organization long regarded here as our most formidable and certainly most dangerous enemy. The paralyzing fear of Hezbollah not only cast a heavy shadow over daily life in northern Israel, it also prevented Israel, as many will recall, from acting against Iran’s nuclear capabilities at the start of the previous decade.
