Four Star retired General Jack Keane, former U. S. Army Vice Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, is one of the most perceptive analysts anywhere today regarding the conflict being waged with the previously Arabized and Islamized usurpers of native Iran’s proud Zoroastrian, more tolerant, and glorious pre-Islamic past.

Leftism in Action: UK Gave Billions to Jihad Terrorist Groups  

Peloni:  Indeed, the alliance between the Liberal World Order of Globalists has used the financing of Islamist factions and Islamist migration to impair and destruct the nation states which formed the previous order based on the Westphalian system of sovereign states.  The invasion of the West could not be so easily subdued without Western financing and Western compliance while all of this took place behind the cloak of secrecy, both within Europe and America (recall the role of feeding Islamic terrorists by USAID and open US borders).  Unfortunately, the question still remains whether having now revealed the role which Western leadership has played in mounting the demise of Western society, can the genie of the Islamist invasion in the West be placed back in the bottle, or is the West on a roller coaster ride to self destruction from which there is no off ramp.  Will the people of Europe and America succumb to the plots of their globalist overlords, or is there a way back to restoring the primacy of liberty and freedom over the yoke of servitude and dhimmitude.  The answer to this question, of course, is yet to be written, and the people of the West, now being made aware of what has been designed for them must choose to either take back their liberties or to hand their newly won second citizen status to the successive generations.

And this isn’t even the only way that the West is bringing on its own destruction.

Shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain has become notorious in recent years for a two-tier justice system in which Muslim migrants receive preferential treatment over native Britons. Those who dare to protest this and other injustices are prosecuted to the full extent of the law, while the Labour government continues to cover up Muslim rape gang activity and turn a blind eye to migrant criminality in general.

The Struggle Against the Drones  

Peloni:  The development of counter drone technology is proceeding, but the timeline of maximizing integration strategies and achieving battlefield dominance will be in the coming years, not months.  The consequence of this reality will come at significant battlefield costs.

Counter Drone Technology is Gaining Traction

Drones have not only become a potent battlefield weapon but they also have deep strike capability. Ukraine has used them to stymie Russia on the battlefield and to destroy high value targets on Russian territory, including critical infrastructure and important military installations.

Trump reportedly tells Netanyahu ‘it’s time to end this war’ after reaching Iran deal  

Peloni:  We are looking at a deal which has either Washington or Iran accepting defeat in the next 60 days.  The backdrop to this is that the Iranians have been emboldened going into this MOU with the perspective that they are in fact winning this war.  Hence, is it likely that they will ultimately bow to Washington’s demands?  Alternatively, is it reasonable to believe that at the end of thee 60 day period Trump will himself further erode the Red line commitment he has announced going into the MOU.  Take note of the fact that the MOU period will expire within a little over two months before the elections in Israel and the US.  Stated otherwise, is it likely that Trump will go into the final stretch of the election having raised the flag of surrender before the IRGC while still calling it victory?  Or is this MOU simply intended to open the Strait of Hormuz, dramatically dropping the price of oil over the critical summer months, with the plan of maintaining the economic chokehold on Iran during this time, keeping China buying US oil and thus supporting the US economy at its own expense, and the potential at the end of the MOU period seeing the US choose between keeping the current conditions in place indefinitely or supporting an insurrection in Iran with US-Israeli air support?  Time will tell, but to be certain, it is going to be an interesting summer.

Israeli settlers and the crimes they did not commit.  

Peloni:  The Settler Violence campaign being raised to delegitimize Israel and normalize the terrorism raised against the people has been exposed in finite detail by the efforts of Ragavim and others.  The most effective tool being used to support the Settler Violence scheme is the use of dhimmi Christians caught in the grip of the Islamist territories in the PA, in Lebanon, in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.

See Regavim’s report on Settler Violence HERE and share it widely.  

Barry Shaw | The View From Israel

Israeli settlers from an adjacent farm approaching fire set by local Arabs from Taybeh.  Ironically, the leaf blowers carried by the settlers to put out the flames were promoted as documentary support for the claim that the settlers started the fire.  The telling principle in all of this is that the false claims, absurd as they were, gained resonance around the world in support of demonizing Israel at the speed of the internet.  Screengrab via Youtube

Israeli settlers are frequently accused of crimes they did not commit.
In a widely published blasphemy not only did they not commit arson charges, they actually tried to extinguish a fire that was endangering a Christian church…Read the details here… Read more…

The Invasion of the West We Are Importing Our Own Destruction  

Act for America | Jun 12, 2026

By ACT for America – [1], Public Domain, Wikipedia

Western civilization—forged in blood, genius, and sacrifice—is under siege from within. For decades, elites have pursued a suicidal policy of open-door immigration from the third world, flooding our nations with millions who often reject our values, strain our systems, and erode the very foundations of freedom, security, and prosperity. This is not compassion. It is national self-sabotage. We must slam the brakes on mass inflows from incompatible regions now—before it is too late.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s Dramatic Declarations Of Sovereignty: Lebanon Belongs To The Lebanese, Not To Iran  

Peloni:  The change of rhetoric in Lebanon can not be mistaken for a change in capabilities.  Even if we take Aoun at his word, which could only be done by foolishly ignoring the long history of Lebanese commitments regarding disarming Hezbollah in the past, it doesn’t change the reality of Lebanon’s demographics, which is also represented in the Lebanese Armed Forces, in which the Lebanese Shiite community has a large representation.  Notably, amid reports that even the Shiite commuity in Lebanon has turned against Hezbollah, this has yet to be demonstrated in any way material beyond verbal assertions.  Israel can not afford to be forced from Lebanon under the hollow promises of “peace once more”.  Israel should maintain its presence in Lebanon, and Aoun should demonstrate his authority by disarming Hezbollah in what remains of Lebanon presumably under his control.  Of course, he might first start by demonstrating that he has the ability to even evict the Ambassador of Iran, whose remaining presence in Lebanon is all that is needed to demonstrate the lack of capabilities of the Lebanon president to enforce the will of the Lebanese rather than that of the Iranian regime.

“The only flag of the Lebanese people is the flag of Lebanon”[1]; “[Iran is] using Lebanon and Hizbullah mainly as a bargaining chip”; “It’s not the country [of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards], it’s our country”[2]; “A traitor is someone who takes his country to war in pursuit of external interests”[3]—These are some of the strong statements made by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in recent months against Hizbullah and its patron Iran, reflecting a significant hardening of his position.

Anti-Semitism Skyrocketing Under Mamdani-Irit Tratt/Talkline With Zev Brenner  

Peloni:  While watching this video, take note of how the Mamdani’s Jew Hatred policies are being strengthened by the very Democratic Party leaders and members who should be a moderating source for his Jew Hatred.  Instead, the Jew Hatred policies in NYC, governing over the largest community of Jews in America, are gaining support.  As noted in the interview below, the Jewish community is not focusing their influence via their voting practices to support and protect themselves from Mamdani and his growing list of political acolytes.  The strength of every democracy is in the will of the people being used to represent the interests of the people.  With the growing strength in the Muslim communities in America, the need for Jews to stand as an electoral firewall against this rising threat is more necessary than ever.  As I have often noted, people living in democratic nations should vote as if their lives and the lives of their loved ones are on the ballot, because they are.  In no other instance is this more true than in NYC, but in America, this trend is not isolated to NYC, unfortunately.

General Keane: If This Leak Is Real, America Is In SERIOUS Trouble!  

Peloni:  The Iranians win as the clock goes tick tock, because victory lies in their survival.  Their lies, obfuscations, and propaganda are all weaponized towards this end, and as Trump prefers to deal with the Iranians as if they are honestly negotiating with him, he only allows them the greatest avenue towards achieving the victory of their survival, and that is time.

My Grandmother Watched a Rabbi Sliced Alive: Her Warning for America Today  

by Michelle Lubin Terris President JEXIT, Inc. | JEXIT

If my grandparents were alive today, they would be horrified.

My family was Russian Jewish aristocracy. They had a life, a home, a community, and a future. None of that mattered when hatred came for them.

They fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe, where Russian Cossacks stormed Jewish communities on horseback, wielding pitchforks and terror. Their only “crime”? Being Jewish.

Iran Wants To Punish Jordan for Hosting U.S. Forces  

Peloni:  Washington should use its leverage to force Jordan to eliminate all presence and support for the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies.  They should force Jordan to adopt an outright hostile posture to the Iranians.  They should force Jordan to support and coordinate with Israel and end its endless blood libels and calls for violence against Israel.  And they should demand that the butcheress Tamimi is finally handed over to face American justice.  Washington has the influence to do all of this.  The question is whether they will do any of it.

USAID Confirms Israeli Claims: More Than 100 UNRWA Staff in Gaza Connected to Hamas  

By

Jenin Camp by Pierre Marshall, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0Jenin Camp by Pierre Marshall, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0

When the IDF entered Gaza, it discovered that Hamas was using UNRWA facilities, including schools, hospitals, and mosques, to hide both combatants and weapons, including launching pads for missiles. Underneath UNRWA headquarters in Gaza, Hamas had built its main command-and-control center. The IDF also discovered lists of Hamas members, and could cross-check them against a list of UNRWA staff. These findings led Israel to charge that many members of UNRWA were also members of Hamas, and that dozens of UNRWA staff had taken part in the atrocities carried out on Oct. 7, 2023. UNRWA, of course, denied this.

Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon, Syria & Gaza  

Peloni:  We will see if DM Katz‘s assertion hold true.  There will be a great deal of pressure to betray this pronouncement, and we have seen the calumny of betrayal in the past as Israeli leadership subordinated the interests of the Israeli people to the dictates of American demands, even in the wake of October 7 did this outrageous practice take place, and repeatedly so.  What is certain is that if Katz is correct, real changes might take place in the region, and the ultimate prize of stability, rather than another claim of some faux peace arrangement, could be within our reach, but it remains to be seen what Washington will do to once again scuttle this possibility.  ‘Maintain the buffer’ should be the shouted slogan of the coming election in Israel.

“Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and citizens from Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the regions of our homeland in Samaria, and most of the territory of Gaza, until Hamas is defeated and the migration plan is implemented, in the face of threats from jihadist forces and organizations, as a central lesson learned from the events of October 7.

Lawfare Project Hails Landmark Settlement Ending U.S. Sanctions Regime Targeting Israelis In Judea And Samaria

Netanyahu’s Call To Lebanon Just Sent Hezbollah Into PANIC!  

Peloni:  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki elucidates Hezbollah’s growing impotence in Southern Lebanon, unable to gather support for their rallies and having lost the ability to intimidate the public from openly voicing dissent.  Wolicki ties this trend indicating Hezbollah’s loss of prestige and control in Southern Lebanon to Netanyahu’s call for Lebanese to recognize Israel’s war with Hezbollah is aligned with the Lebanese not against them.  Will the Lebanese ever come to play a role in their own revival?  Or will they continue to remain on the sidelines of history as their fate is decided by outside forces while they continue to look on without exerting any influence on the the shaping of their own future?  Time will tell of course, but most acutely, what happens in Iran will have a significant effect on whether this trend of defiance in Lebanon is a momentary event, or an emerging reality.
