Janet Levy:  CAIR has long been established as Hamas doing business in the United States. It is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. These facts were presented during the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist-funding trial in Texas.

CAIR used the press conference arranged with Texas officials to rant about the “rise in anti-Muslim hate” and to falsely label the recent San Diego attack as an act of “white supremacy.”

Expert on the Left and author Trevor Loudon identified the perpetrators of the attack as part of a foreign influence operation – the “red-brown alliance” that seeks to destabilize America by creating racial chaos. He links the San Diego strike to attacks in Buffalo, El Paso, Poway, and Christchurch, which he views as engineered events meant to push Islamic narratives, using the charge of “Islamophobia” as a smokescreen to deflect attention from the Islamic takeover of America.

Qatar Is Becoming More Central to the Talks

Qatar’s role in the Iran crisis appears to be growing as negotiations move from military de-escalation toward the economic terms of a possible settlement. The Guardian reported on May 24 that the emerging peace framework could include access to frozen Iranian assets, while Reuters has previously reported that Iranian officials specifically pointed to funds held in Qatar and other foreign banks as part of their demands in the talks.

Peloni:  An exceptional description of Min. Ben Gvir and the true offense which he stirs with Israel’s enemies.  It is interesting that Ben Gvir’s support among the electorate has risen over his term in office, and I expect that this latest offense will only drive his support even higher.  This isn’t even about his political positions so much as it is about giving face to how an unabashedly proud Jew might act when specifically provoked to do so, something which seems intolerable to many around the world.  In doing so, Ben Gvir has few who can compete in fulfilling the image of a proud Jew who will not bend to the double standards raised against him and the Jewish people, and this is something which we should all resolve to celebrate and emulate.

What is the purpose of the many flotillas which have attempted to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza? (The blockade exists to help prevent Hamas receiving weapons shipments.) Organizations which promote flotillas towards Gaza purport to help the “starving” Gazan population by sending them aid and support. There have been many Gaza flotillas which have attempted to gain entrance to Gaza but none have succeeded. As far as Israel is concerned, these boats are a political stunt meant to harm Israel’s reputation. The boats contain negligible amounts of aid but those on board do enjoy tremendous amounts of “virtue signaling”. Despite these malevolent attempts to defame Israel, the boats would be permitted to unload “aid” in a Israeli port near Gaza. But that wouldn’t promote the activists’ anti-Israel cause. Proclaiming “starvation” in Gaza is their ploy to promote hatred of Israel.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger |  “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | May 26, 2026

*The export reach of the US-manufactured C-130 transport plane has multiplied 4-5 times since Israel received its first 2 units in 1971. Since 2010, more than 2,700 C-130s have been ordered and/or delivered to 70 countries. The total production volume of the initial C-130 program (A-H) reached 2,271 airframes, while the highly modernized C-130J Super Hercules variant has already surpassed 2,800 aircraft (48% operated by the US Air Force and 52% exported).  The cost of 1 C-130J Hercules is $85mn-$100mn.

Peloni:  What goes unmentioned in this article is the poignant silence which awkwardly followed Trump’s proposal for the Sunni nations to join the Abraham Accords on the phone call discussed below.  That pregnant pause demonstrated the taboo nature of Trump’s proposal, and notably, Trump’s own lack of clarity on what might make peace in the region possible.  Frozen lines of battle between Israel and its warring enemies in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran do not support the potential of widening of peace between Israel and its neighbors, but instead it makes such peace arrangements impossible to navigate for the Sunni nations.  Notably, in Trump’s Riyadh speech of 2017, Trump called for the Sunni nations to “drive out” the very radicals from their nations and the region which are being left in place in Iran and its regional holdings due to Trump’s current preference of adopting frozen wars rather than seeing them thru to victory.  Furthermore, seeking such victory over the Iranian Islamists and their subsidiaries would be the only means by which to extricate these radicals from power in their strongholds of terror in these nations.  Failing to secure such a victory does not make peace more possible for the Sunni nations, because the preservation of radicalism in the region at large only serves to strengthen the radicals on the streets of the very nations Trump is mandating to join the Abraham Accords.  Stated differently, by refusing to do what is needed to demonstrate the intolerance for radicalism in Iran and its Proxy states only serves to weaken the resolve of the Sunnis to stand firm against the radicals in their own nations, and that does not support the development of peace with Israel.

As of Memorial Day in America during the last week of May in 2026, the latest reports regarding the newest round of negotiations with the master practitioners of taqiyyah and kitman obfuscation and outright prevarication with despised kafir/infidels, of which President Trump is the world leader, the long term chances that an Iran in which any vestige of the supremacist theocracy of the current 12’er Shi’a mullahs bent on Islamic world conquest is left intact, will keep its promises are less than zero.

More on this later, but this toxic, genocidal regime must be treated as a malignant tumor which must be totally removed so it doesn’t metastasize and reappear later, long after America has left the arena.

On May 15, as has been done for decades, Palestinian Arabs, their supporters and Israel detractors observed the “Nakba” or the catastrophe of Israel’s birth in 1948. In order to understand the veracity of that narrative and how it’s been conflated in modern dialogue and reporting, it’s important to understand what lies behind that. This is Part One of a Six Part series.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Beijing almost in the same timeframe. China’s President Xi Jinping gave both visitors exactly the same reception while granting neither any of the things they demanded.

• In the past decade, the UN has lost much of its aura as a source of moral authority, let alone meaningful material relevance. Two of its veto-holding members have been engaged in wars of choice, while a third one has been branded a gross violator of human rights.

Peloni:  In Amit Segal’s article below, he explains that Trump is using the extension of the Abraham Accords as the means by which to restrain Netanyahu in the region, much as tethering Israel to the UAE did in the first round of the AA.  While such an event would give Netanyahu the political capital to possibly survive what is coming in the form of faux peace deals with Lebanon, Gaza and Iran, it leaves a very big question mark as to whether the Arabs would actually acquiesce to accepting such a demand by Trump.  Already, MBS has announced his fallback line of requiring a second Pal state, a line in the sand which the other Arab states will no doubt support.  This will raise the specter of the revival of the latest iteration of the American imposed gambit of the Two State Solution, the foundation for which is already baked into the UNSC Resolution 2803.  In the post October 7 period, such a venture lacks all viability in Israel, but that would require having a leader with both the temerity and the strength to stand up to the Americans and to simply refuse such an outcome.  Alternatively, we could recognize the reality that a Pal state was created with the formation of the state of Transjordan, now renamed Jordan, a reality around which would provide a more stable future for the entire region than in succumbing to the demand of creating a second Pal state from the heartlands of the Jewish State.  The Jordan Option is the better path forward.

The bill for American action has arrived at the Saudi door.

Peloni:  The problem is not whether Trump’s deal with the Iranian regime is a good deal, but rather that he is chasing a deal as his ultimate goal of victory, because such a deal is not a victory for America, the West or Israel.  Instead such a deal, regardless of the terms, indicates victory for the Iranian regime, and even if Trump doesn’t understand this, the Iranians do, and so do those in the region.

In addition to nuclear issue, Lebanese front is major concern for Israel

The emerging deal between Washington and Tehran to end the war has encountered strong criticism from voices in the Israeli military and senior politicians, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertions that the deal would decisively end the regime’s nuclear program.
