By Sha’i ben-Tekoa
Thus spake the current president of the United States of America of the tyrants in Teheran and not for the first time exposed his misreading of these Shiite Muslim priests.

Dear New York Times Editorial Staff…

The regime of previously forcibly Arabized and Islamized genocidal maniacs, which you seem to be defending with your accusations against America, has—for almost half century—been responsible, either by itself or via Sunni Arab proxies, for launching a continuous campaign of death, terrorism, and destruction against peaceful neighbors.

US court reinstates $655 million judgment against PA and PLO for Second Intifada attacks
Peloni: Thank G_d for Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and Kent Yalowitz whose relentless efforts have been so essential in making this victory a reality.
The 1992 Anti-Terrorism Act should be revised to cover criminal liability as well.

The U.S. Federal Court of Appeals in New York City has reinstated a $655.5 million judgment in a long-running lawsuit by American citizens who were victims of terrorism during the Second Intifada, which took place from late September 2000 to about 2005. The judgment obligates the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to pay these victims, and the money is likely to come out of accounts that the PA holds in American banks.

Maltese Dalliance with Arab and Palestinian Terrorism.
Peloni: The tract from Malta led to so much bloodshed, so much terror, and so little justice.
Why the Mediterranean island of Malta went so far to the left and become so politically corrupt.

The rot that is Malta today began with a philandering Socialist politician named Dom Mintoff who dominated the politics of a small Mediterranean island and was prone to erotic impulses.

It’s Not Presidential, But…
Avi Abelow | X | April 5, 2026
EPIC!!!
No, it’s not “presidential.”
And that’s exactly why it matters.
For years, we’ve been conditioned to expect our leaders to speak in polished clichés, to hide behind diplomatic language, to pretend that evil can be negotiated with if only the tone is right. We were told that restraint is strength, that ambiguity is wisdom, that carefully worded statements somehow keep us safer.

Why They Lie About ‘Jewish Terrorists’
Peloni: In the following linked article, Tablet’s Liel Leibovitz details how the widespread narrative of “Jewish settler terrorism” is exaggerated and often misleading, driven by media, political, and institutional incentives rather than supportive data.
Leibovitz explains that reports frequently conflate different types of incidents,especially combining Palestinian casualties from clashes with the Israeli military with alleged settler violence, thereby creating the appearance of a major trend. He further explains that cited cases omit key context, such as Palestinian attacks that preceded Israeli responses, and that statistical methods (e.g., by UN bodies) use overly broad definitions of “violence.”

Why 56% of Israeli Voters 18-22 Consider Themselves ‘Right Wing’
Peloni: Reality on the ground has had a palpable shift to the right, so much so that on a non-binding vote, the Knesset entirely (sans the Arab MKs) supported recognizing sovereignty in J&S. This was not imaginable three years ago. So, while the relevance and accuracy of polling can be debated, the changes are evident everywhere.
To best understand Israel, think of it as a reverse Europe.

This survey is getting a lot of attention.
According to a recent Maariv poll published this past week conducted by Lazar Research, led by Dr. Menahem Lazar in collaboration with Panel4All, a majority of first-time voters in Israel’s upcoming Knesset elections-young people between the ages of 18 and 22-identify as right-wing.

Same Regime, Different Face: The West’s Recurring Mistake in Iran
Peloni: Trump must prevent the Iranian regime from outlasting his administration. This is the unenviable outcome which will come from pursuing the Venezuela model in Iran. All the risks and all the costs which have been incurred upto this point will have come to naught if the IRGC is allowed to wait out Trump’s term, following which they will clearly move back towards their prior trajectory under a far less interested presidency, be it under someone like Vance or G_d forbid under a Democrat. They are responsible for the butchering of American citizens, the weaponizing of the drug trade, electoral tampering, and attempted assassinations of American leadership including President Trump himself. This regime must be ripped from its perch of power, root, stem and leaf, leaving no vestige behind to rekindle the flame of radicalism which will otherwise return to the state of blaze which will once again threaten the American people. This war must make an end of the Ayatollahs and the IRGC both. It is the only way to secure the safety of the region, the world and the American people.

For decades, the Iranian regime has played a calculated game. When pressure intensifies — whether economic, political or military — it introduces a figure portrayed as “moderate” or “pragmatic.” Today a similar narrative is emerging around Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. A closer examination of his record, however, exposes that he is not an outsider, reformer or transformative figure. He is a quintessential insider — a product of the system from its earliest days.

- For decades, the Iranian regime has played a calculated game. Every few years, when pressure intensifies — whether economic, political or military — it introduces a figure portrayed as “moderate” or “pragmatic.” This narrative was once built around figures like Presidents Mohammad Khatami and Hassan Rouhani, both marketed to the West as agents of change.

No Jews, No News: Iran and the Geometry of Selective Outrage Part 1
Oded J. K. Faran & Walter E. Block

Abstract
The international Left prides itself on opposing tyranny, defending human rights, and standing with the oppressed. Yet when Iranians risk imprisonment and execution to challenge a theocratic dictatorship, global mobilization is faint. When Israel or Jews are implicated in conflict, outrage becomes immediate and absolute. This paper argues that this disparity is not episodic but systematic. The pattern can be summarized: No Jews, No News. The evidence is not hidden. United Nations resolutions and mainstream human rights reports make clear how condemnation gathers where Israel is involved and dissipates elsewhere. The roots of this asymmetry are historically and ideologically, embedded in currents of antisemitism. The issue is not whether Israel may be criticized. The issue is whether similar injustices elsewhere stir the same urgency and outrage. They do not.

Israel Considers Coordination with Syria Against Hezbollah
Peloni: This adds to the report made several days ago by Mudar Zahran regarding Syria’s involvement in dismantling Hezbollah. Such coordination provides both important opportunities and worrisome concerns with regards tackling Hezbollah, a Shiite terror organization which stands as a common enemy to both Syria/Turkey and Israel. Ultimately, this will further add to Turkey’s regional influence, if not an outright expansion of its already too well expanded empire, while also earning it a greater threat and forward access towards Israel, something which should call to mind Erdogan’s so often repeated goal of conquering Israel.
Israel is weighing partial security coordination with Syria amid Lebanon’s failure to rein in Hezbollah, potentially overseeing southern Lebanon while Syria handles the north; the Syrian Hermon may be returned, with talks, direct or U.S.-mediated, seen as a last-resort option.

Hezbollah sees potential win as Israel backs down from disarmament goal
Hezbollah views Israel’s shift away from disarming the group as a strategic win, believing that the Israeli climbdown will benefit its survival and influence in Lebanon.

Hezbollah appears to be keenly listening to recent Israeli reports that indicate the IDF will not be able to disarm the Iranian-backed terrorist group.
These reports began circulating in the media on Friday and have continued to percolate.
