Picking up where I left off several analyses ago, here’s whom America needs to support, in any reasonable way possible, after the genocidal Arabized mullahs and their Waffen SS Stormtrooper/Gestapo-like IRGC and Basij militias are mercilessly hunted down and destroyed by American, Israeli, and patriotic Iranian and allied (Kurdish?) forces whom we should have made contact with and armed by now.

Battle Bits – Three pings on the “protracted conflict”: Trump’s talks; the Hormuz saga; countering malign influence from the mayor’s office in New York  

Peloni:  Good input from J.E. Dyer as always.  Specifically, addressing the matter of Caroline Glick‘s potential appointment to be the NY Consul, I think it is a great choice.  I think back to more than a decade ago when Caroline provided one of the all time best responses to the blind condescending demonstrations of European antisemitism which could not have been improved upon even if it had not been a spontaneous response.  The point, of course, of the NY Consul should not be one of antagonism nor of abuse, but as Caroline so adeptly demonstrated in that famous exchange in the link above, one can and should directly address such gross displays of Jew Hatred directly and appropriately even while maintaining an air of decorum but still addressing outrageous dog whistles of Jew Hatred.  I believe Caroline would be perfect in the role of the NY Consul.

Iran, and radical themes, in interesting times.

National Review’s 70th anniversary issue in October 2025 reminded us of the long-running, thematic Cold War column “The Protracted Conflict,” written for many years by James Burnham (and later continued by Brian Crozier, until the Soviet Union met its demise in the early 1990s).

The Big Lie of Blaming U.S., Israel for Islamic Child Rape in Gaza and Afghanistan  

Peloni:  Disturbing Muslim practices such as child marriages exist across the entire history of the Muslim faith.  Pretending that this is a modern flaw sourced to outside influences betrays this practiced tragedy which has existed over the past 1400 years, as well as ignoring the millions of child victims of that tragedy.  Until the West returns to the practice of calling balls and strikes based on actual facts rather than on arbitrary preferences of political correctness and political associations, the victims of these crimes will continue to be ignored and the shame for supporting these crimes will lie with not just those who practice the crime of child rape within Islamic culture, but with the would be allies of the monsters committing these crimes.

Muslim men selling their daughters into sex slavery isn’t our fault, it’s Islam’s fault.

Last month, the BBC ran a story about Afghan men selling daughters as young as five years old into the sex slavery known as Islamic marriage. Rather than blaming the Koran and the example set by Islam’s pedophile founder Mohammed who married his most prominent ‘wife’ Aisha at the tender age of seven, the radical state media outlet instead blamed the Trump administration.

Tamir Hayman, who previously served as chief of Israeli Military Intelligence and is currently the director of the Institute for National Security Studies, summarizes what is being reported in the news about the attempt to bring down the Iranian regime and how the current operation came about.  In doing so, he notes that Israel was caught unaware when Trump announced he was coming to help the Iranian protestors.  From there he explains the story relating the intended use of the Kurdish forces in toppling the regime in Tehran, and the use of the notorious Ahmadinejad to lead the regime into capitulating to a transfer of power from the Islamists.

The Pursuit of the unattainable, Israel’s “deep state”  

Ron JagerMay 31, 2026

No other country in the Western world has been forced to exist and strive under the constant shadow of endless cycles of war, terrorism, invasion, rocket fire, suicide bombings, and existential threats since its establishment 78 years ago, affecting virtually every family in Israel. While many nations have experienced wars in their history, Israel has faced continuous conflict from the very day it was established as the Jewish homeland after nearly two thousand years of exile. Hamas’ invasion of southern Israel on Oct 7th, was only the latest manifestation of the barbaric terror carried out by our Palestinian neighbors, let alone the ensuing war on seven fronts forcing Israel to defend herself, against daily attacks by Hamas, Yemen, Lebanon and Iran.

With support from Turkey and Egypt, Hamas seeks new ceasefire deal without surrendering weapons  

Peloni:  Hamas was suppose to be disarmed within 36hrs following the adoption of Trump’s 20 Point Plan.  At this point, the only negotiation which should be pursued with these savages is where they might prefer to be buried.  The IDF should eliminate this scourge once and for all, and without further efforts of negotiating the violated negotiations which continue to evolve to benefit the terrorists while ignoring there already overdue deadline for destruction.  It is time to end the negotiations, and to end Hamas’ control in Gaza as well.

Hamas continues to refuse calls for disarmament, blames Israel for ‘ceasefire violations’

Arab States Reject President Trump’s Call to Join The Abraham Accords As Part Of Agreement With Iran…  

Peloni:  It is important to grasp the importance of the Abraham Accords to Trump’s greater strategy.  In the 2026 National Security Strategy (NSS), Trump identified the relevance of multiple states working together with the Chinese against America.  It also referenced  the importance of American allies to share the burden of being able to enforce American interests in their relative regions.  With regards to the Middle East, this policy was acutely relevant as America intends to pivot towards Asia.  So the demand which Trump made regarding the Muslim nations joining the Abraham Accords (AA), while representing a tall ask, was an essential aspect of Trump’s regional policy as referenced in the NSS.  What is more is that the AA specifically promotes peace with the Muslim states as a priority over the pursuit of a second Pal state, and as the comments below indicate, this tall ask by Trump represents a bridge too far for the Muslim states.

Secret Weapon of US’ Commercial and Defense High Tech – Israel!  

Peloni:  Ambassador Yoram Ettinger provides a clear example of how important a role Israel plays in the US military, and what is described as ‘aid’ is actually an American investment in its own future capabilities that are derived from the US-Israeli partnership, which has secured an exponential return on this investment for the American people.

*Israel has been the largest research and development center, outside the US, for the US’ commercial high tech sector.  Over 250 US high tech giants – such as Intel, Dell, Amazon, John Deere, IBM, AOL, Applied Materials, Google, Facebook, Cisco, General Electric, General Motors, HP, 3M, Intuit, Motorola, Apple, Microsoft and NVIDIA – have established research and development centers in Israel. They have leveraged Israel’s brainpower, which has produced out-of-the-box and ground-breaking innovations, bolstering the global superiority of the US commercial high tech. This Israeli connection has enhanced the US global competitiveness, saving the US many years of research and development (worth billions of dollars), increasing US exports, expanding US employment and boosting the US Treasury’s (corporate and individual) income tax revenues.

The truth about the Mufti and Hitler: Truth requires neither exaggeration nor minimization  

Hitler encouraged the Mufti’s wishful thinking that assisting Germany would lead to Arab sovereignty. In reality, the Nazis intended to use him, yet the Mufti was not merely being used.

Part I: The Mufti and Hitler (Part II is at the end of this article and is the real story of al-Hussseini’s background)

Minimizing Haj Amin al-Husseini’s role in Holocaust history distorts the global reach of Axis collaboration. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was not the architect of the Final Solution, and serious history should not claim that he was. But neither was he a marginal spectator. He was an active Nazi collaborator who used his religious and political authority to incite antisemitism, actively promote the destruction of European Jewry, recruit Muslims for the Nazi war effort, block Jewish escape to Palestine, and help extend Hitler’s war against the Jews into the Arab and Muslim world.

Israel and Lebanon announce a new ceasefire, but Hezbollah rejects  

Peloni:  Lebanon lacks any agency with regards to Hezbollah, and unlike many captured populations, they lack the either the capacity or the courage to free themselves.  Til this changes, these peace talks only serve to reaffirm Lebanon’s captured status, while holding Israel in compliance with the preservation of the Iranian proxy/Lebanese masters in Hezbollah.  The Trump administration is comprised of intelligent and experienced individuals.  It is not possible that they are all so blind as to what is going on here as to allow this shadow boxing charade play an important role in forming the future of the region.
