Peloni:  The time for Lebanon to be free of its foreign control is long past, but it has been long past for several decades.  The question is who will free Lebanon from being chained as human chattel.  Certainly, the Lebanese have shown no such capability to make is so and are instead intent upon waiting for some outside force to set them free.  America could play such a role in affecting the freedom of Lebanon from the Iranian suzerainty held over it, but the possibility of this coming to fruition is uncertain.  So we will see.

Small places are often at the mercy of powerful neighbors. So it was for centuries in the area which today belongs to the Lebanese Republic. The state itself and its borders were fashioned by the French in 1920 out of territory that the Ottoman Turks had themselves conquered three centuries earlier.

I ask, please, that those on my list who are ardent supporters of Trump refrain from writing to me to tell me that Trump always knows what he’s doing, and I shouldn’t second guess him or criticize: that we simply have to wait to see what he is planning and all will be well.

Peloni:  The threat raised by Trump against Oman was very sincere.  The Strait will be opened and free of tolls, fees or charges, and that policy stands for both Iran and Oman.

US President Trump threatened Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, putting a longtime Gulf partner on edge and raising regional concerns over diplomacy and stability.

Many were surprised on May 27 when US President Donald Trump appeared to threaten Oman. “The Strait is going to be open to everybody. It’s international waters. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. Oman will behave like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that,” the US president said.

According to reports verified by the Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the PA’s Ministry of Finance recently disbursed grants to three “fighting sectors”. These “sectors” include terrorists held in Israeli facilities, those operating in various regions, and the relatives of deceased terrorists.
The PA’s choice to prioritize funding for violent terrorists, including those that targeted families and their children, over civil infrastructure demonstrates a systemic refusal to abandon terrorism says AFSI.

A 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 Three of a Six Part series.

Jonathan Feldstein

The Term and Its Meaning

The word “Nakba” is Arabic for “catastrophe.” For Palestinians and their supporters who have become conflated with and indistinguishable from Israel detractors, it marks the displacement of roughly 700,000 Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the evacuation and destruction of villages, and the broader loss of land following the Arab rejection of a two-state solution, and war that five Arab states launched against the fledgling Jewish state. It claims that Arabs were “expelled” where the historic truth shows that many fled of their own volition, urged by the Arab leaders at the time to do so. The “Nakba” has become the cornerstone of Palestinian national identity. Rather than being rooted in a Declaration of Independence, it gave birth to their declaration of resistance.

Peloni:  Promises made, promises kept.  Hunt down every single one of them.  They documented their infamy and sealed their fate while doing so.  As Hugh Fitzgerald explains below, this is a clear message regarding the fate of all future potential butchers, but it also serves as the closest remedy approximating justice for the victims of those savages who are still walking the streets, enjoying their lives, and recalling the joy they experienced in the massacre of so many innocents.  We will not forget the victims, and we will not forgive their slaughter.  For the perpetrators of October 7,  we will find you, and we will kill you, so look forward to it.  This is the promise.

A clear message to all future perpetrators.

After Hamas terrorists’ orgy of rape, torture, mutilation, and murder on October 7, 2023, the IDF began its war to destroy Hamas inside Gaza. At the same time, the Israelis wanted to make sure that a subset of Hamas members — those terrorists who took part in the October 7 attack, in any capacity — would be hunted down and killed. To this end, the IDF established an elite group to locate, and then to summarily execute, those who were participants in the atrocities. More about this group can be found here: “Israel established elite task force to hunt down terrorists who took part in Oct. 7 – report,” by Tzvi Jasper, Jerusalem Post, May 21, 2026:

Peloni:  This is an important article.  The Muslim Brotherhood has had a century of success in which it has honed its expertise in spreading its tentacles of ideological capture across the globe.  The exploitation of the quiet conquest of the world has taken root and is spreading like an advanced cancer as it is finding little opposition across the West.  Europe has been so well infiltrated that the population there is being corralled like cattle into a dhimmi future by the very institutions which should be protecting them rather.  Meanwhile, as Sharia compounds are rising around America, the passphrase of tolerance is ever weaponized towards America’s fall to this reverse crusade marching against the West.  On June 2, 2026 Emily Winkler, Founder and CEO of VALOP Group, will be hosted by Jonathan Feldstein on his “Inspiration from Zion” podcast.  This is a not to be missed interview which will discuss the conquest of America which is taking place in real time.  Advance registration is required.

As the United States gears up to celebrate its 250^th anniversary, I have watched with growing alarm as the freedoms we cherish have been systematically exploited by those who despise these very freedoms, and use them to destroy America and American values. The chief offender of this systematic invasion is the Moslem Brotherhood. The “Brotherhood” motto declares “Allah is our objective; the Koran is our constitution; the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.” It has been executing a decades-long strategy of infiltration into America and the West. This is not conspiracy theory. It is documented fact, revealed through raids, trials, and internal memoranda that the Brotherhood itself produced. But there’s more.

Peloni: Regarding Jordan’s embrace of terrorism, it must be recalled that America hands Jordan an impressive more than $1 billion dollars in humanitarian aid, even Jordan refuses, year after year to do more than deny American demands for Jordan to turn the self proclaimed butcher of Sbarro over to the US for the prosecution of having murdered and maimed Americans.  In such a relationship as exists between a superpower and a nation which has trouble keeping their people above the poverty line even with the princely payment of Yankee dollars, it remains an inexplicable example of a cerebral disconnect that this butcheress remains free and at large in the sanctuary of Jordan, which only survives due to those Yankee dollars coming regularly every year.  America has the means by which to force this terrorist to justice, even after these decades which places Sbarro on the distant side of so many additional slaughters.

A new study of the books used in Jordanian schools has found that they “continually justify” the October 7 atrocities as “a response to Israeli oppression.”

That’s consistent with the assortment of rationalizations, minimizations, and denials of October 7 that have been heard from prominent Jordanians. Recall what Queen Rania said: “It hasn’t been independently verified…that Israeli children [were] found butchered…There’s no proof of that.”

Peloni:  Victor Satya perfectly describes the cognitive disconnect which exists between the genocidal attacks on Israel and the inexplicable demands of acquiescence which  the West requires Israel to accept as a consequence. More than this, he explains the simple truth that such an outcome of subjugation in the wake of slaughter as the world is demanding exclusively of the Jew of the nations will not be forthcoming, and of course, Victor is quite correct.

Whenever Israel goes to war against those who openly promise to erase it, the international community begins one of its favourite political pantomimes. Iran threatens annihilation. Hezbollah fires rockets. Hamas massacres Jews, and the Houthis launch rockets from so far away they may as well require a connecting flight. And then, with impeccable moral seriousness, the world turns toward Israel and demands to know why it appears so “unwilling to de-escalate.”

One almost has to admire the choreography.
