Peace on the Rocks: Zelensky Refuses to Cooperate
Peloni: Is Zelensky posturing for a better deal? I have argued that he is not. He just can’t be seen to negotiate with Russia, so the peace deal will go nowhere.

The trading deadline in the National Basketball Association has just been concluded. One of the most high profile switcheroos was the Dallas Mavericks trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former gave up their star guard, Luka Doncic, for the highly skilled forward-center of the latter, Anthony Davis. The jury is still out on this one, since Davis is on the injury list and has already missed out on a few games. Even were this not the case, it usually takes a season or two or three to determine which team got the better of the deal. For that depends upon are not only the abilities of the two traded players, but, also, on how well they fit in with their new team-mates.

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.
Peloni: Big things are continuing to be revealed. What you will find missing in this report or any other on this topic is any statement by Abdullah. The presence of the Muslim Brotherhood is now completely banned from Jordan. As Mudar Zahran recently stated, it is a new dawn…

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan announced Wednesday a sweeping ban on the Muslim Brotherhood that could include shutting down the country’s largest opposition party, after accusing the group of planning attacks.
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.
“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.

China and Egypt Conduct First-Ever Joint Military Drill Near Israeli Border
Israfan | April 22, 2025
In a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, China and Egypt launched their first joint military exercise near the Israeli border, a move closely watched by Israeli defense officials. The drill, titled “Eagles of Civilization 2025,” began Sunday at Wadi Abu Rish Air Base, about 100 kilometers west of the Gulf of Suez, and is scheduled to run through mid-May.
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: 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

A synagogue in the Ukrainian city Kryvyi Rih was attacked on Saturday night with a Molotov cocktail. The incident, which is only one of several recent antisemitic attacks, has left the local Jewish community concerned about growing levels of antisemitism in Ukrainian society.
Peloni: A must see video.

We have seen what is happening in Texas with these "Sharia" cities. Many have shown you that it is happening across the United States. The threat isn't limited to just one city or town in a single state. It is a WIDESPREAD nationwide catastrophe.

Peloni: The very purpose of the survey is to expose the sort of details which are now judged to be too alarming to be detailed in the ADL’s report on antisemitism.

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.

The existential struggle Israel is engaged in is multi-faceted. While my faith remains strong that in the end we will get where we need to be, I have never once suggested that it is easy. Because it is not: it is agonizingly tough.
The battle to take out Hamas, which is a major aspect of our current existential struggle, has been vastly complicated by the fact that this terror group still holds 59 Israeli hostages, some 21 to 24 of whom are thought to be alive. The decision-makers of Hamas function without compassion, without humanity, but they are not stupid. They manipulate human beings as bargaining chips.
I have written about this situation – which is sometimes described as a “Sophie’s choice” scenario – several times. At each juncture, there have been choices that had to be made. A couple of times, we have agreed to a temporary ceasefire – which allowed Hamas the opportunity to regroup, rearm, recruit new members – in order to secure the release of some hostages.
When Muhammad said, “Women are deficient in intelligence,” it is exactly women like these that he had in mind. What he meant was, “Muslim women are deficient in intelligence.” I have presented my evidence that he was right and now challenge any “sister” to prove me wrong.
Da’wah predators and their prey
These are the words of Fahima Muhammed, a purported psychologist, therapist and relationship counsellor in the UK, spoken during an interview on The Muslim mum YouTube channel. The interview was prompted by the latest crisis to hit the beleaguered ummah, brought on by none other than its larger-than-life “Lion of Da’wah”, Mohamed Hijab, a particularly obnoxious narcissist who fancies himself a cross between a sage and Benito Mussolini, and who already has the June 2020 holes-in-the-narrative crisis to his name. This time, our Oxford graduate, political philosopher and academic set the da’wah world on fire when his sexual and emotional abuse of a single-mother da’i (Islamic propagandist; pl. du’at) emerged.

The united Jordanian-Palestinian people are left with no real choice but to align with Israel—strategically and rationally. Most Arab regimes—except for Saudi Arabia—have abandoned us. They backed the Hashemite regime that excluded and impoverished us, and sided with the Muslim Brotherhood and their devilish offspring, Hamas, all while claiming to fight extremism.
Peloni: In what he describes as his most important show, Mark’s first segment explores the roots of Islamist ideology and how it might relate to 9/11, ie if the terrorists had a nuclear bomb, they would have used it on 9/11. He explains that the real threat facing America lies not with stopping Iran from gaining nuclear weapons, but with allowing them to gain nuclear weapons as they have simultaneously developed a Intercontinental Missile program which provides them with the capability to strike the US at will, since the US lacks any sort of missile defense shield. He closes with explaining that foreign policy is about prudence, having good judgement, and that prudence should lead Trump to prevent the Islamist ideologically driven Iran from ever gaining the capability of carrying out a nuclear attack on the US, because they will use it. In the second segment, Mark interviews Col. Richard Kemp who explains that he understands Trump’s interest in trying to negotiate with Iran, but that it must be a very short negotiation which leads to complete and verifiable dismantling of their nuclear program. Kemp also explains that those who advocate for the US to allow Iran to become a nuclear state are themselves promoting Iranian propaganda which is being leveraged by Iran against the West. In the third segment, Mark discusses with Ben Domeneh who relates the campaign which has tried to put daylight between Israel and the US, to the advantage of the Iranians gaining access to nuclear weapons.

The Battle of Vienna by an unknown contemporaneous painter. Public domain.I’ve had sitting on my computer for a few days an essay by Rod Dreher, an American conservative who now lives in Hungary, the only country in Europe making a stand for traditional values and refusing to accept unlimited Islamic immigration. From his perch in Hungary, Dreher has written about his conversations with ordinary Europeans, who believe that civil war is imminent, a war that will see those who share European values arrayed against those who have embraced leftism and Islam.
