Peloni:  Trump’s Turkey policy will be seen to be pivotal to the stability of the region, particularly if he is successful in dealing with Iran’s nuclear program.  He should not be securing this rogue nation with the means to further expand its borders at the expense of its neighbors, and allowing him to return to the F35 program will do exactly this.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently declared Ankara would purchase an estimated $20 billion in American spare parts, ammunition, and electronics for its military. Turkey wants more than just spare parts. It wants to be re-admitted to the small club of countries that can purchase the advanced F-35 jet fighter. Turkey was booted from the program in 2019 for purchasing the Russian-made S-400 air defense system, defying explicit warnings from the Trump administration.

We must never forget—not only the horrors of the past but the miracle of the present. and how they are connected. Because If a sovereign Jewish state had existed in the 1930s, millions of Jews could have been saved.

Today, on Yom HaShoah, we stop everything.

Sirens will wail across Israel. Cars will halt in the middle of highways. People will stand still in offices and supermarkets.

An entire nation freezes—for two minutes of sacred silence.

Peloni:  This is a very important first step.  I agree with CHD’s call to have the access to these shots prohibited.  Healthy children face no harms from the Covid shots, making every adverse event suffered by a child easily avoided.   The long wait for what should seem to be a preliminary step to further restriction, if not a recall, has been disappointing and worrisome.

According to the two people who spoke to Politico on condition of anonymity, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has advocated internally to have the CDC stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children, arguing there is little scientific evidence that the shot provides a benefit to babies and young children.

Peloni: Israel must ignore the call of the international community to fuel Hamas’s terror war.  Smotrich is again quite correct.  End any support of the enemy, and force them to choose between surrender and obliteration.  There can be no third alternative offered to them.

Last month, one-month-old Roxana was wrested at gunpoint from her mother Emily Yazdani’s breast by police and Child Protective Services (CPS) of Loudon County, Virginia. CPS placed the infant in a “foster to adopt” program before being returned to her parents after eight days. A few vigilant websites reported it, but mainstream media ignored this heartless snatching.

What is so alarming about the Holocaust is the involvement of average people, many of whom participated not so much out of hatred of Jews, but because this was part of their job. And then there is the intelligentsia.

Dr. Alex Grobman | Apr 22, 2025

“There are events of such overbearing magnitude that one ought not to remember them all the time, but one must not forget either. Such an event is the Holocaust,” declared Rabbi Israel Spira, the Bluzhover Rebbe. Although the rebbe survived the Shoah, his wife and children were not so fortunate—all of them were murdered by the Nazis.

Remembering is a critical part of what it means to be a Jew, Rabbi Yitz Greenberg reminds us. Because we recall that we were once slaves in the land of Egypt, we view those living in desperate circumstances differently from people who never suffered. Our memory and experience of the Exodus commands us to treat people with love and compassion.

It’s instructive to review how some groups asking American Jews for financial support describe themselves.

Why do so many American Jewish organizations today seem so reluctant to speak forthrightly about their support for Israel and even more reluctant to use the word Zionism?

Peloni:  Highly recommended video.  Natasha provides an exhaustive analysis of international law and how it is actively being manipulated by Israel’s antagonists to achieve political objectives rather than being based on well based legal arguments.  Pay particular attention to the 30 min. segment beginning at about 8min.

Peloni:  As Bibi explained, surrender is not an option.  Victory is the only way this war can end.

Peloni:  Only amid the successful pro-Ukrainian propaganda campaign might this story be surprising to anyone.  Recall the reports made by Eduard Dolinsky, executive director of the Kyiv-based Ukrainian Jewish Committee.  Antisemitism in Ukraine is not a point of fiction or Russian disinformation, it is a well featured part of Ukraine’s history which is celebrated even to this day.  Indeed, many will recall the scandalous event of Zelensky saluting an SS Panzer Nazi, Yaroslav Hunka, in the halls of Canada’s parliament, but how many are aware that the Ternopil Regional Council in Ukraine bestowed the horrifically honorific ‘Yaroslav Stetsko’ Metal on Hunka as well?  Or that this award was named after Stephan Bandera’s colleague who stated “I insist on the extermination of the Jews and the need to adapt German methods of exterminating Jews in Ukraine”?  Ukraine has a Nazi problem, and ignoring this fact will not change the reality which comes from it.  These facts might appeal to some among the Woke Right, but it should truly disgust decent people of all walks of life.  Interestingly, while Zelensky failed to reproach his salute to Hunka in Canada, he also stood silent while Hunka received the Stetsko Metal of Honor.  Also where is Zelensky’s well crafted photo op visiting the synogogue in Kryvyi Rih, highlighting and condemning this attack on the Jews of Ukraine?  It won’t be coming any time soon.

Incident is only one of several recent antisemitic attacks in Ukraine

The ADL not only conceals Islamic antisemitism; it demonizes and defames those who call attention to it. It has failed in its mission and joined those whom it professes to oppose.
