Peloni:  The only solution which does not end in betraying the protestors is to see the regime fall.  Support for the protestors and the survival of the regime are in fact two mutually exclusive outcomes.  Let’s see what happens.  The deal isn’t set, let alone announced, let alone implemented.  We may still see the war resume, and if it does, a role for the protest movement may still be in the making.

Donald J. Trump has officially taken to social media to boast about a backroom deal cooked up in the Oval Office. The image of his announcement paints a desperate picture of diplomatic theater: a flurry of phone calls with regional leaders, culminating in a planned signature between the United States of America and the terrorist regime ruling the Islamic Republic of Iran. The White House is eager to spin this as a triumph that will open the Strait of Hormuz and bring a heralded PEACE.

Everything that Tamir writes here is correct, and yet—the agreement now is a fairly accomplished fact, the overthrow of the regime in Iran will not happen now but later (according to my sources—around October) and in a different way. The reasons that Tamir writes add support to the claim that it is indeed going to happen later.
There is no choice, we will continue to bite our nails.

Janet Levy:  There’s much more to the San Diego mosque shooting…

The perpetrators who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD) hated Jews and blacks, as their writings reveal.

The ICSD imam and several congregants assisted and financially supported Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the 9/11 hijackers, who were regular worshippers at the mosque, and celebrated the Hamas killers who carried out the October 7th Massacre.

Extremist Wahhabi literature calling for intolerance, hatred of non-Muslims, and jihad was found in the mosque.

Given Israel and America’s war with Iran, it is unsettling to contemplate the ramifications of any confrontation with Turkey. This is precisely why it isn’t prudent to enable obvious enemies of the West to escalate tensions with states that are our allies in the first place. Turkey as a member of NATO is one such an example.

Around the world, and especially here at home in the Democrat party, the Islamo-leftists’ fanatic hatred for Jews is creating a very scary 1938 vibe.

If I were writing a post about Jews in the news because of further contributions to the world (to add to such things as the Bible, the polio vaccine, pacemakers, Google, stainless steel, the ballpoint pen, the theory of relativity, etc.), I would be happy as a clam, and this post could be a series that lasts for weeks.

Peloni:  Very important video.  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki explores the role which China is playing in continuing to arm (with advanced technology) despite Chinese assurances otherwise, while also conducting trade with Iran using overland trade routes.  While the issue of the arms going to Iran is significant Wolicki explains this matter has far greater implications than this.  China wants to create a causeway between Pakistan, India and Turkey so as to offset and defeat the US-Israel-Saudi-India plan of the India-Middle East-European Corridor (IMEC), and China’s Pres. Xi is using the presence of the American blockade to force the development and exploration of the Chinese alternative to the IMEC forward.

Peloni:  Even if this poll were accurate, it would be no more material than a poll taken in Iran showing the people favor eliminating the IRGC.   Unless a military force is able to disarm Hezbollah, or displace the IRGC in Iran’s case, the will of the people means nothing.  There is no such force in Lebanon which is independent of Hezbollah.

Enough with the evasion. The criticism was never that sexual abuse allegations should be ignored. The criticism is that you published grotesque, incendiary claims while leaning on sources and allegations that demanded extraordinary scrutiny, not sanctimonious hand-waving.

Peloni:  In an important article by Mark Levin, “Deal or no deal,” he notes that any negotiated settlement with Iran would almost certainly fail as the Iranian regime has a long history of deception, violating agreements, and pursuing extremist ideological goals.  He continues by questioning how a deal could truly prevent Iran from eventually developing nuclear weapons, especially given its existing enriched uranium, missile capabilities, and hidden activities.

Mark also raises concerns about enforcement, arguing that future U.S. administrations or Western allies may lack the will to respond forcefully if Iran violates an agreement again in the future. He also warns that Iran would likely continue supporting proxy groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas regardless of any promises made in negotiations.  Most notably, he explains that the core problem is the nature of the Iranian regime itself rather than simply its nuclear program.

Peloni:  In recent months, Human rights NGOs were demonstrated to have been complicit in terrorism as they acted in compliance with demands made upon them by the likes of Hamas [see video below].  In response to these revelations, Min. Chikli put forward regulations which would expose such terror connections among NGOs.  While opposing these new regulations, Doctors without Borders brought a complaint before the High Court, seemingly to preserve the privacy of the NGOs so as to conceal any involvement with nefarious actors such as Hamas.  The High Court refused to grant the appeal by Doctors with Borders, thus requiring the NGOs to unmask their records…This was a very big deal.  Min. Chikli’s comments celebrating this victory are below.

When the New York Times published the false claim that Israeli dogs were ‘raping’ Hamas terrorists, it was sourced to a Hamas-linked group that calls itself the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. After Jewish groups condemned it, a radical leftist groups that calls itself the Nexus Project and claims to fight anti-semitism popped up on X to defend the Times smear, which had been circulated to preempt a report about Hamas rapes, calling it “challenging and important”.
