Peloni: Is it really surprising that importing an unvetted population with a culture which supports and advocates for Jihad, rape, torture, kidnapping and murder would not lead to such an outcome as this?

The worst part of this report is that the political ties between the Leftist leadership in Europe and their growing Muslim constituencies will make it impossible for the Left to change its policies and course correct, even if they wanted to do so.

Terror group has built network across the continent, established multiple weapons caches

The Hamas terrorist organization planned to carry out a large-scale terror attack on Jewish or Israeli targets in Europe to coincide with the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 invasion and massacre in Israel, according to a report by the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) this week.

The report came on the heels of the latest in a series of arrests of Hamas operatives in Europe, highlighting the consistent efforts by the terror group to exploit the ability to easily travel within the European Union to coordinate attacks and create weapon depots.

UPDATE:  Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:

The U.S.-Saudi deal for a “civilian” nuclear program – which potentially, after a two-year study, includes permitting Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium – is a serious, dangerous mistake. The deal seems likely to lead to widespread nuclear proliferation throughout the Middle East and redouble Iran’s determination to rapidly obtain nuclear weapons at all costs.

See full ZOA statement at bottom.

Peloni:  The lack of oversight associated with the US-Saudi nuclear deal is beyond belief.  Is it truly Washington’s intent that Saudi Arabia become a nuclear power?  The transactional nature of Trump’s foreign policy is going to form a very troubling outcome for the future of both the region and for America’s future.  Instead of pursuing even a temporary stabilizing policy for the region, which would come from the Abraham Accords, Trump is providing the region with the means of pursuing nuclear proliferation.  There is no good outcome from this, none at all.

U.S. President Donald Trump approved an agreement to provide the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear program – without including stringent safeguards to stop materials being developed for nuclear weapons, and without conditioning it on peace with Israel, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

Peloni: This is a must see video by Dr. Sheila Nazrian in which she provides a stirring description of the deep connection between what is taking place in America today with what took place in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.  Nazarian recounts her family’s harrowing escape from Iran during the Islamic Revolution, describing how they were smuggled out in 1985 hidden under burlap sacks and corn in the back of a truck. She details the terrifying journey across the desert to the Pakistani border, where they endured gunshots from border police before eventually making their way to Vienna and finally entering the United States. Drawing from this lived experience, Nazarian warns her audience that she recognizes the patterns of that revolution— which she says turned Iran into a “prison for women” and a state sponsor of terrorism—emerging again today. She asserts that she has “seen this movie before” and urges Americans to recognize these dangerous ideological shifts before history repeats itself.  At about 12 minutes into the speech, Nazarian addresses the students who are today acting as useful idiots in the remaking of the tragedy of her childhood, challenging them with the fact that they have no conception of what the world would look like without America and that Israel stands on the front line of battle in the war between civilization and barbarism.

A new Middle East Forum investigation reveals that the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB), a multilateral bank whose top shareholders include the governments of Iran, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, has disbursed $7.7 million to finance “CAIR Plaza,” a residential and commercial development in Washington, D.C., designed to provide the Council on American-Islamic Relations with rental income for decades. CAIR’s own website states that the group “does not receive funding from foreign organizations or governments.”

Peloni:  Allowing such totalitarian nations as Qatar, China and Saudi Arabia to have a voice within the political discourse in the US is how freedom is lost and sovereignty is surrendered to nations that are specifically wedded for the single purpose of conquering the American nation.  How long will it be before the American people announce that their educational and political spheres are no longer open to the authoritarian influences of its enemies.

After years of escalating antisemitism, Jews around the world are faced with intimidation, harassment, assaults, and vandalism. This has resulted in fear, pain, and a realization that hatred against Jews is being tolerated in ways that would be unacceptable if it were, in fact, directed at many other groups.

Peloni:  Was Netanyahu’s move to take significant if not full control over the Likud list the real reason that we saw the recent resignations of MKs Yuli Edelstein and Dan Illouz?  While the mirage of an emerging anti-Likud party seemed to evaporate over the past several months, the close timing of these resignations to Bibi’s consolidating power around himself makes this conclusion reasonable.  It is noytable that Likud used to be remarkable for its democratic election of leader and party lists.  Ultimately, the voters will stand in judgement of Bibi’s move to solidify his control in the party, but it isn’t a point of strength which led him towards this policy shift, even as it may have the potential of making the party stronger.  Time will tell.

Of further note, the Right needs to focus on solidarity as the election draws closer.  Maximizing the preservation of lost votes is how the national camp came to power in 2022 and if such a focus is not once again the fundamental focus of the entire Right Bloc, it may see their majority electoral support dissolve before a Left Bloc victory.

The Sunni regime that has ruled in Damascus since December 2024 has been a mixed bag. Its army has attacked both the Alawites in Latakia, who had been the mainstay of Bashar Assad’s regime, and the innocent Druze in Sweida Governorate who inhabit the territory between Damascus and the Golan, showing its determination to keep the minorities in Syria down. In addition, Ahmed Al-Sharaa’s troops have taken part in attacks on the Christian minority and on the Kurds in Aleppo and southeastern Syria. All this makes clear he is determined to persecute Syria’s many minorities — the Alawites, Druze, Kurds, and Christians. He nonetheless has managed to present himself as a “moderate,” even hinted at being ready to make peace with Israel, but his treatment of the country’s minorities suggests he is still an unreformed jihadist. Trump has been impressed with al-Sharaa’s makeover, and approvingly calls him a “strong leader.”

Peloni:  Stopping Iran’s dedication to terror really does come down to American resolve to actually stop Iran.  Trump’s continued stated preference for negotiations only serves to provide Iran with the understanding that Trump will ultimately not stop them, that they can simply move the clock forward by alternating periods of negotiations amid periods of breaches of already negotiated agreements, such as having the Strait of Hormuz open.  Iran is only emboldened by this fact, as its negotiating govt officials and warring IRGC leaders work together to stall while they make their ultimate ownership of the Strait of Hormuz evident based on facts on the grounds.  As Seth Frantzman notes below, alternate routes are already being improvised to work around the use of the Strait, but the reality is that these costly pipelines remain just as vulnerable to Iranian missiles as the Gulf State’s other infrastructure which is already being attacked, making this alternate solution no more secure than shell shocked Strait.

Iran may hint that it is willing to hold talks again and continue to play the “good cop, bad cop” game it has played in the past. The IRGC would act as the bad cop and the government as the good.

I am writing as someone who has defended your presidency for years—not out of blind loyalty, but because I believed then, and continue to believe today, that your accomplishments altered the course of American history.

Peloni:  The free exercise of the will of the people is what will save America from tyranny.  In fact, this is the only thing which might lead to such an outcome.  This was Trump’s highest priority in returning to office, and his current attempt to fulfill his mandate to achieve such a victory is now in full swing.  It is vital that such his efforts be successful, for as the only super power in the world, what begins in America NEVER stays in America.  This was true with election irregularities, judicial efforts to overturn election outcomes, and it will be true with the restoration of the legitimacy of seeking a transparent election process.
