The world keeps asking Israel to apologize for existing. The data has a different answer.

Ze’ev Jabotinsky wrote in 1923 that the Jew is a prince, regardless of circumstances—that Jewish dignity does not depend on the world’s recognition and that Jewish sovereignty does not require the world’s permission. A century later, the State of Israel proves his point.
Although nearly eight decades have passed since that war in 1948, there is still much to learn from it, not only as a glorious and heroic chapter in the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, but also, and above all, as a source of lessons and insights worth remembering and revisiting, which remain relevant today.

The 78th Independence Day, which Israel marks this week, is a good opportunity to return to our roots, to the foundations and sources, and above all to the starting point of our journey: the War of Independence, which broke out following the declaration of statehood on the fifth of Iyar, 5708. It was a fateful war, a war for survival, and our victory in it secured Israel’s future for many years.

After Donald Trump announced an extension of the US ceasefire with Iran on April 21, Tehran refused to take an official position on the state of the ceasefire, denied it had agreed to any extension, and signaled it would not reenter talks while the US naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in place.
Peloni: Make sure to share this video below with family and friends where Rabbi Pesach Wolicki describes the real motive behind the effort to denigrate President Trump’s opposition to Iran and to whitewash Rep. Elise Stephanik’s opposition to systemic university antisemitism. Media stunts to such as the one described below is neither inconsequential, nor is it arbitrary. The effort to preserve Iran as a nidus of the never ending conflict in the Middle East remains a focus of the MSM elites, and their Leftist/Communist/Islamist allies. The distraction provided by the media opposition are quite purposeful, and unfortunately potentially effective in changing the context and messaging about facts which should be easily agreed upon: Iran must not be allowed to be a nuclear terrorist nation, and institutionalized University antisemitism must be ended.

As I write, I am approaching the closure of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day).
This is a day that merits great celebration. Incredibly, we are both 78 years young and 3,000 years old.
That festivities have been somewhat muted because of the war that still hangs over us diminishes the importance of this day not a whit.

Peloni: All that Clifford May describes here is true, but the reality remains that while Israel is actively moving against Hezbollah, Lebanon is actively providing cover for Hezbollah. It is a hard truth to face, but Lebanon has become quite complacent acting as a nationwide Stockholm Syndrome victim in providing Hezbollah the political support it requires to exist in Lebanon while opposing Israeli actions to eradicate the Iranian terrorist faction, even from the Israeli-Lebanese border. Meanwhile Trump is trying to arrange a meeting between Aoun and Netanyahu, despite Aoun having refused to even talk with his Israeli counterpart on the phone. So long as the Iranian regime remains in Tehran, this negotiation serves no purpose whatsoever. So, while May suggests that Israel may be Lebanon’s only hope, the reality is that seeing the fall of the Iranian regime is Lebanon’s only hope, short of Lebanon finding a way to thread the needle in evicting Hezbollah from continuing to occupy their country.
Hezbollah is not just Israel’s enemy

This headline from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation last week was typical: “Trump announces Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, but major disputes remain.”
That framing misses a basic truth: Ceasefires don’t resolve conflicts. Though they can lead to productive negotiations, they are more often used by both sides to prepare for the kinetic battles that lie ahead.
And that’s a good thing.

JD Vance was supposed to be heading to Pakistan today to resume negotiations with the leaders of the Islamic Republic, but as of this writing on Tuesday afternoon, the whole thing is off, at least for now.
Peloni: This was a political bombshell in the US. We are witnessing the fall of the American Left’s most successful political attack group which has been responsible for organizing the delegitimization of American conservative groups and leaders over the past decades, as testified to by Pamela Geller below. It is a welcome new reality to see that the long held unimpeachable SPLC will no longer be available to play this pivotal role for the Dems, as they are being indicted for the funding of the very terror groups it was presumably formulated towards countering. Notably, their position of being held above the law was likely pivotal to their ability, if not the motivation, of their funding/organizing the very Hate groups which gave the SPLC a basis for its own continued funding and fundraising. Daylight being cast upon such long established pillars of ‘trust’ within the American political system will have important political implications even if this is not reproduced with other such groups, and hopefully, the investigations will not end with the SPLC.
‘Paid Extremist Leaders’ in Shocking Fraud Case, Funded The Hate, 11 Federal Charges Including Money Laundering

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is one of the Left’s premier, well-heeled, and most dishonest and ruthless attack dogs.
The ‘work’ of the hate group SPLC is to smear, defame and libel anyone who effectively counters the far-left/Islamic agenda. It relentlessly smears legitimate conservative individuals and groups by labeling them as purveyors of “hate” and lumping them in with the likes of the KKK and neo-Nazis (who they were paying.)
Peloni: If the ingredients for radicalism were known, a cure might be possible…til then…
I can’t figure out what ingredient inhabits a rabid, America-hating leftist. What is the recipe?

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social Tuesday that both a ceasefire and a blockade on Iran would remain in place for the time being.
The lie claiming that Jews are the hidden hand behind wars – this time the Iran War – has followed the Jewish people from Shushan to Des Moines to September 11 to the present.

“There are a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people’s, and they do not observe the king’s laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them.”– Esther 3:8
Hamas-Linked CAIR intends to use subversive tactics to transform Oklahoma by deploying a deliberate, multi-pronged campaign: 1.) Expand Muslim Political Influence Through Organizing and Coalitions, 2.) Enforce ‘Social Justice’ Norms via Education and Redefinition of Community, and 3.) Reduce Traditional Conservative Power Through Legal and Political Pressure.
By Renee Nal | RAIR Foundation USA | Apr 21, 2026
In a recent episode of the “CAIR on Air” podcast titled “How Muslims & Other Minority Groups Became Political Targets in America w/ Veronica Laizure”, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell sat down with Veronica Laizure, Executive Director of CAIR Oklahoma.
The conversation reveals a clear agenda: Oklahoma is in CAIR’s sights. The speakers lay out plans to reshape the state through legal action, education campaigns, and political organizing. They aim to expand Muslim political influence, enforce “social justice” norms aligned with their ideology, and reduce traditional conservative power in one of America’s reddest states.
Peloni: Highly recommended article.

Considering Iran’s 47 year long history of promoting vicious terrorist violence against America and the West, starting with the invasion of the American embassy in Tehran in 1979 and holding 50 of its employees hostage for 444 days, it is impossible to believe that only 52% of Americans approve of military action against Iran particularly after its leaders told American negotiators they had just over 900 lbs. of enriched uranium and that within a matter of weeks they would be able to have a nuclear device allowing them to fulfill their policy of, “Death to America; Death to Israel”.
Peloni: It is impossible to reconcile the distinctions drawn between Smotrich’s advocacy to recognize Gaza as Jewish land and those who would see it ceded to the Gazan psychopaths who supported, elected and by the thousands joined Hamas in fulfilling its blood lust and debauchery on October 7 in the Kibutzim of the Gaza envelop. Abandoning this land to our enemies under any condition or negotiation designates a permanent penalty upon the Jewish people and simultaneously provides a trophy for those who would see the land of Israel soaked in Jewish blood, fulfilling the endless fantasies of those pernicious reprobates singing ‘from the river to the sea’. Gaza is the land of the Jewish people, not some ransoming chit to be bargained away. It is to Netanyahu’s eternal shame that he would fail to act in preventing Gaza from being ripped from the Jewish people a second time, the first being his long delayed silence while the Expulsion of 2005 became all but accepted. It is incomprehensible that the surrender of Gaza should be supported by any political party, to any people, at any time. For Likud to take such a position in surrendering these Jewish lands a second time to the very psychopaths who made October 7 possible, and who participating in the vile revelries of that great slaughter, should be understood to be as inexplicable as it is unacceptable. On Yom HaShoah, in the silent moments honoring the memory of the Holocaust and past heroes, the current undertaking to betray the Zionist claim to our ancestral lands, which includes Gaza, screams for a reconsideration. Min. Smotrich is to be congratulated for sounding this clarion call to make Gaza Jewish again.

I just read online a lengthy but splendid, historical-legal argument by Karen Stahl-Don establishing the State of Israel in international law as the legal and legitimate sovereign in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, a.k.a. “from the river to sea,” and this year’s Independence Day would be remembered as the best ever if the government had told this to the world, but it never has. And I wonder why not?
