The Illusions of Memory

When my parents were children on their way to school, local (Christian) children would lie in wait for them, to chase and beat them. The boys, for the most part, would organize themselves to beat the Christians back. This was the case in Warsaw in Poland, and so it was also in Siberia (to where the Zionists and the leaders of the Jewish communities from Lithuania were exiled).

I have long known the “childhood stories” of stealing cigarette butts and selling them, as well as other thefts in order to have a morsel of bread. Today my uncle does not remember a thing from one sentence to the next and therefore repeats the question as if it had not been asked and just answered.

Janet Levy: Even if you don’t like Jews and Israel, you should fight this as you are on the jihad menu for death, conversion or dhimmitude.

Read Islamic doctrine – the Koran, Sura, and Hadith. All non-Muslims are targeted – Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Baha’is, etc.

Look around the world – Europe, India, Africa, and beyond – and see the mass slaughter by jihadists.

YOU could be next.

From former Muslim Mossab Hassan Yousef, defected son of Hamas co-founder Hassan Yousef:

“There is no difference between 9/11 and October 7th.  It’s all part of the jihad against the infidels

Arafat dressed up Palestine as a human rights issue to further the civilization jihad.  He was advised by North Vietnamese General Jap and Romania’s Cecescu to change his jihadi mandate into terms the West could understand – human rights

The Civilian Government Has Lost Control

President Pezeshkian did not authorise the missile and drone strikes on the UAE, only learning about them after the fact. The IRGC is conducting military junta operations with total impunity. Iran is no longer a regime. It is a military junta commanded by an unhinged man. Sources familiar with Tehran’s deliberations report that Pezeshkian described the IRGC’s actions as “completely irresponsible,” called their approach to regional escalation “madness,” and warned of “potentially irreversible consequences.” A sitting president only uses this language about his own military when the relationship has completely broken down.

U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the missile fire from Iran toward the United Arab Emirates on Monday, shying away from dubbing it a violation of the ceasefire as the American “Project Freedom” continues to erode the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The key to the credibility—or lack thereof—of a column in “The Philadelphia Inquirer” was a description of the co-authors.

Moshe Phillips

An op-ed attacking AIPAC, authored by two Jews who oppose the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, would be unremarkable. Two people who hate Israel naturally also deeply despise AIPAC. Nothing surprising in that.

But an op-ed column attacking AIPAC by prominent figures in two mainstream American Jewish organizations—well, that’s something else entirely.

During this time of the year, we in Israel commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day and then exactly one week later, the nation commemorates Memorial Day. On Memorial Day, we in Israel mourn our fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism, halting everything as the sirens blast (cars stop, pedestrians stop, the nation literally comes to a standstill). These past weeks and months, given that Israel’s sirens were prompts to rush to bomb shelters, one can only imagine the anxiety and accompanying stress, should one of those sirens have coincided with a memorial siren.

Last week on Jihad Watch, a German school was highlighted in this story: Germany: ‘The pressure that political Islam is exerting on students is getting bigger and bigger.’ What made this story particularly noteworthy was that Muslim children were reported to be engaging in the process of civilizational jihad in Berlin schools.

Peloni:  Controlling the passes is a military concept going back centuries.  From the battle at Thermopylae to the battle of Kasserine Pass , we see that controlling such strategic passage ways were vital.  This same concept is proving pivotal in the test of wills between President Trump and his Chinese counterpart President Xi.  Below is a good description of how China has acted to shore up its support for Iran over the past years, why this was important and how Trump is rendering these efforts somewhat moot.  Also see the article by Zineb Riboua. h/t Sebastien.

Peloni:  Prof. Eyal Zisser is quite correct.  Israel has been forced to accept a serious restriction of its freedom of action in Lebanon while leaving the IDF exposed and vulnerable to FDV drone attacks, to which it can only respond while not moving northwards.  This advantage of holding the IDF hostage to US demands give Hezbollah a significant boon which it lacked prior to this untenable ceasefire.  Where things stand today is intolerable state of appeasement to Iran, and the forced pretense of the fake ‘peace’ negotiation with Lebanon is ruse which has born fruit for Iran and its proxy while bearing no potential benefit for either Israel or Lebanon.

The latest round of fighting ended with dangerous concessions: Iran proved that it decides when the fire stops, the IDF lost its freedom of action in Beirut, and we were drawn into a limited guerrilla war in the buffer zone. While Israel clings to illusions that the Lebanese government will dismantle the terrorist organization, it is time to wake up and prepare for a real victory in the next round.

Unfortunately, the latest round of confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, which began after the terrorist organization rallied to Iran’s side in its war against the US and Israel, ended with three important achievements that we handed, with our own two hands, to Hezbollah and to Iran, which stands behind it.

Although Israel doesn’t have aircraft carriers or the ability to project its air power globally, additional F-35 purchases makes Israel a global leader in the use of the aircraft.

Israel’s rapid expansion of its air force amidst the current multi-front war is transforming the nation into a major military power.

Peloni:  The desperation to continue funding the terrorist organization known as the Palestinian Authoritity persists, and only willful blindness fuels the ability to do so while ignoring the slaughter which funds go towards the murder of innocents.  The slaughter of innocent Jews is not an interest of the PA, it is their motivating ethos.  End the funding for the PA, end their reign of terror, and simply end the the PA itself.

French President Emmanuel Macron could not have been clearer.

Standing alongside Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas at a press conference following their meeting in Paris last November — “the first visit,” he pointed out, “by a Palestinian president since France recognized the State of Palestine on September 22, 2025” — Macron expressed confidence in the Palestinian leaders’ assurance that “pay to slay” stipends were no longer being disbursed to jailed Palestinian terrorists and their families.
