The UN’s architecture to annihilate the West  

Peloni:  A must read article.  The United Nations is a systematic tool used to imbed corruption, weaponize migration, and embolden radicalism.  It is not by chance that Europe has so quickly fallen prey to the Islamization of the continent, and America is next on the agenda.  Such enemies of Western civilization as the UN can not be reformed because its fundamental basis has become the perversion of civilized norms so as to cripple the very basis of national identity.  When President Trump next talks about the tale of the Snake, think of this report by Amil Imani, and consider what the West is doing by advancing any attempt to maintain such an evil and vile institution in any place of authority or power.  Instead, this institution should be stripped to its foundation and its leadership should be prosecuted for Crimes against its Nation State members and their respective populations.

Each and every apparatus working against our sovereignty and greatness.

The United Nations functions as a predatory cartel dedicated to the systematic liquidation of national borders. Its agenda demands the total eradication of the nation-state to pave the way for a centralized, unelected global tyranny.

We are living with multi-pronged and multi-layered fighting in the Middle East. There is the straightforward military conflict that is multi-faceted, featuring overwhelming military might against asymmetrical fighting that seems more like terrorism than warfare.

Hamas commander Izz al Din al Haddad targeted in Israeli airstrike  

Update:  Haddad killed in Israeli strike!

Peloni:  Haddad was integral to the abuses suffered by Hamas’ hostages, and managed the hostages in the prison dens beneath Gaza.  His final elimination should be recognized as a significant achievement in and of itself.

By Joe Truzman | May 15, 2026

Israeli military aircraft attacked an apartment building in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood on Friday, targeting Hamas’s military chief, Izz al Din al Haddad. The strike, if successful, would be the third Hamas leader in Gaza to have been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since the Islamist group and its allies initiated the war with Israel on October 7, 2023.

Democrat Governor Frees Trump Ally Imprisoned For Questioning 2020 Election  

Peloni:  I really never thought we would see the day Tina Peters was finally released from prison.  Her incarceration was a case of clear retribution for having carried out her duty in overseeing the election process in her district and then collecting evidence and reporting the crimes which she uncovered in the infamous 2020 election tampering.  In an era marked with political show trials under the Biden administration, Tina Peters stands out due to her remarkable courage and relentless determination by the Colorado state authority to break every norm so as to make an example of what might befall those who might duplicate Peter’s resolve to secure the vote in America.

Rebeka ZeljkoNational Correspondent | Daily Caller

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday, a former county clerk who questioned the 2020 election outcome and was facing nine years in prison.

Victor Davis Hanson: This Is Who Really Deserves Reparations  

Peloni:  In the following video, Victor Davis Hanson states, “?If you want to give reparations, how about all the people who died fighting in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Korea? What did they get.”  Victor Davis Hanson discusses pro-Palestinian protests in Jewish neighborhoods in New York City, arguing that political and campus culture have contributed to rising antisemitism and broader social disorder. He outlines what he calls the “four horsemen” of modern antisemitism: immigration-driven demographic change, DEI ideology, shifts within the Democratic Party, and left-wing popular culture, while also criticizing parts of the populist right.   The conversation also covers immigration and sanctuary policies, comments by Alejandro Mayorkas on border policy, reports on Oct. 7 atrocities, Harvard University’s reparations initiative, crime and early release policies, and upcoming political issues.

The World’s Favorite Existential Question: Should Israel Exist?  

Peloni:  Must read article by Victor Satya!  The poignant consequence of questioning if Israel should exist posits the implication that Israel’s survival is debatable, and that this debate should be held by those other than the people which formed this nation, in both the millennia past or in its current reconstitution.  And this word ‘reconstitution’ is the point upon which the ignominious debate should be silenced once and for all.  Indeed, the League of Nations did not grant the Jews a state of their own, but instead empowered them with only the recognition that our ancient people would once again be constituted on the indigenous lands of our ancestors.  This recognition itself was in deference to the will of the Jewish people to rebuild our nation on our land as represented by the Zionist movement.

We Ignored This Speech… Now It’s Impossible to Ignore | Mosab Hassan Yousef  

Madeline Brooks:  The outstandingly brave Son of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef, goes even further in his excoriations of Hamas’ wickedness and his endorsement of Israel. In a recent video that did not recieve the attention it deserved, he declares, “Israel is earth, Israel is God. You fight with Israel, you fight with the most powerful authority of the universe.”  What a wonderful rebuke not only to the gentile Israel haters but to the growing hordes of “Jewish” Israel haters who side with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Of course, Israel is not God, but it is the place where God is working Redemption.

Israel to Sue New York Times for Defamation  

Peloni:  While it should be acknowledged that any lawsuit put forward will almost certainly be dismissed, what is the real prize in such a suit will not be the judgement of the plaintiff’s [ie Israel] innocence in the form of any sum awarded, but rather victory in such an undertaking would be in being granted discovery where the real source and motivation behind Krisof’s rape fantasies might be uncovered.

The just-published New York Times piece by Nicholas Kristof, accusing Israel of horrific crimes, including the sexual abuse of “Palestinians” in Israeli prisons, with victims said to include men, women, and children, and of “training dogs” to rape “Palestinians” as well, has quite properly enraged the government and the people of Israel. The Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a Thursday, May 14 statement that Israel will take legal action against the Times over Kristof’s column.

Xi-Trump Summit: Iran’s Shrinking Margin  

Peloni: Zineb Riboua explains how Iran’s attempt to use the Strait of Hormuz as leverage has backfired after the Xi–Trump summit showed U.S.–China alignment on keeping the waterway open and preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.  Whereas the relationship between China and Iran has been characterized as being an alliance, I have argued previously that the their connection was merely that of partners, where shared interests were the limit of any commitment by China for Iran.  Iran’s refusal to negotiate with the US, tied to its weaponizing of the Strait of Hormuz, to its whimsical attack on the Gulf Arab nations, have all undermined China’s interests in Iran, even as Iran foolishly ignored its growing isolation from its former partner.  The enforcement of US sanctions on China’s Teapot refineries was always the ultimate leverage which Trump held over the Chinese-Iranian relationship, and having now enacted this crucial measure, there can be little support for Iran coming from China.

The Strait of Hormuz Is Not Iran’s to Close

Zineb RibouaBeyond the Ideological | May 14, 2026

The situation is obviously dynamic, but from reading today’s statements, here is my takeaway.

When Iran sealed the Strait of Hormuz, its genius strategists believed they held a winning hand. They expected two things: a global energy shock to force Washington into negotiations and the Gulf states to blame the disruption on US belligerence. Today, as President Trump sat across from Xi Jinping in Beijing, the first statements emerging from that summit began to reveal how thoroughly Tehran had misjudged the situation.

Stories of Immigration and Absorption Part 1  

 
By Ari Bussel

Translated by Peloni

Part 2 can be found HERE

I come from a family of immigrants, half of them illegal immigrants for they broke the British Mandate over Palestine:  My mother arrived through the illegal “Aliyah Bet” immigration from Europe, from the DP (Displaced Persons) Camps after the Second World War. My father arrived to the State of Israel exactly two years after Israel’s rebirth.

My father’s father fought the Nazis in General Anders’ Polish Army, and at the end of the war found himself in Italy, from where he joined his brother in New York. The two brothers lived in Manhattan, one with his wife in Upper East Side and the other with his second wife (the first was murdered during the Holocaust) in Upper West Side, this until the end of their lives.

A man walks into a Dubai currency exchange, intending to send money to Iran. He hands over $50,000 in cash, and provides a name and a location. Hours later, the money reaches a beneficiary in Tehran. No bank processes the transfer, no wire crosses a border, and no regulator signs off, yet the system worked as intended.

In The Arab-Israeli Conflict, The One Crucial Thing ARABISM Will Always Lack Is Corroborating Evidence…  

by Gerald A. Honigman

While ARABISM is unquestionably permitted to stake claim to over six million square miles of real estate by virtue of its violent conquests of mostly non-Arab people’s ancestral homelands, the one damning thing it lacks in the Arab-Israeli conflict is legitimate corroborating evidence that its claimants were/are anything more than late coming invaders, settlers, and colonizers of another ancient historical people’s ancestral homeland, the Jews.

We love you Jerusalem  

Peloni:  Am Yisrael Chai!

The propaganda effort to disassociate Jews from Israel and Jerusalem is absurd. International Law, the Bible, Quran (5:21 and 17:104) and history recognize the rights of the Jewish People to Israel. So did President Trump.

Beginning Thursday night and all day Friday, May 15, 2026, we will be celebrating Yom Yerushalayim-Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem. This year is the 59th anniversary; but our connection to Jerusalem stretches back well over 3,000 years ago, including to the time when Biblical King David declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

VAHIDI’S CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE – HE BURNT CHINA  

Peloni:  What China needs from Iran is stability in the region so as to exercise its influence while also having free access to Iran’s cheap oil.  What China has been receiving for its vast investment in Iran has been something very far from this.

China has played Vahidi for the fool he is. Vahidi thought he was clever when he blocked the strait; he was outsmarted by Trump. The US has stopped all traffic in and out of the strait, in particular tankers with Iranian oil. As a consequence, the flow of Iran’s crude oil to China came to a halt. Vahidi lost his revenue stream; China was buying 90% of Iran’s oil at a discounted rate. Iran’s economy is in free fall; as a consequence, the currency is worthless toilet paper: 1 USD equals approximately 1.8 million Iranian Rials.

May 14, 1948, is considered the birthday of the modern State of Israel. On that day, as the British Mandate officially expired, David Ben-Gurion stood in the Tel Aviv Museum Hall and read out the Jewish State’s Declaration of Independence, in a speech broadcast over the radio.
