Peloni: By failing to include Qatar in a bill proposed to eliminate foreign influence from adversaries on college campuses is just further evidence of the effectiveness and extent of Qatar’s influence in Washington.  Their well documented funding of organizations behind the pro-Hamas protests on US campuses, let alone their funding of terrorism around the world, should have made their inclusion in this bill to be a primary focus and yet they are conspicuously absent from the legislation which has already passed thru the US House of Representatives, a clear mark of the influence which they weild over the power elites in the US.

Leaving Qatar Out of the DETERRENT Act Was a Mistake

“By omitting Qatar from the DETERRENT Act, Congress has essentially overlooked the covert influence Qatar wields in shaping American perceptions and policies.”

“Hamas has previously claimed that 70% of casualties have been women and children”

by Daniel Greenfield | April 3, 2025

Politicians and the media routinely quote Hamas casualty figures, usually attributing them to the Gaza ‘Ministry of Health’ or some other nonsensical facade for the terrorist group. And so when Hamas claimed that there were now 50,000 dead in Gaza, the media eagerly repeatedly those numbers.

In the dying days of the Islamic State, Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, a cross between Goebbels and Soleimani, and the ISIS No.2, famously boasted, “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you were able to remove the Qur’an from Muslims’ hearts.” This week we saw Hamas playing the Qur’an-in-the-heart-of-Muslims card. A Muslim jihad organisation only does this when not just itself, but the entire ummah, is facing a shattering humiliation.

Peloni:  As the world has sat back demanding to know what the day after in Gaza would bring, they should have instead been contemplating what the day after in Iran would bring.   The day in which the question regarding Iran’s future needs an answer may be fast approaching, and that answer will have reverberations most acutely affecting the regional Iranian proxies which might or might not still exist in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen, while also affecting the entire region and much of the world.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | April 3, 2025

*Does US policy toward Iran refrain from – or repeat – past mistakes?

*The diplomatic option (negotiation and containment) is effective when conducted between parties, which consider negotiation as a step toward peaceful coexistence. However, as evidenced by its 46-year-old rogue track record (since toppling the pro-US Shah), the Ayatollah regime – just like ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the PLO/PA and Hezbollah – has employed negotiation as a tactic to advance its aim to topple the “apostate” Sunni regimes and bring the “infidel” West to submission.

Peloni:  The economic upheaval surrounding the tariffs will have a depleting effect on businesses around the world, leaving govts and businesses alike looking for opportunities to avoid or at least reduce the hardship which came with Trump’s “liberation day” announcement of reciprocal tariffs against friend and foe, alike.  Such instability which is associated with such an economic policy of shock and awe as this is the worst thing for businesses, particularly for those which are struggling to remain out of the red.  Trump would be well aware of this fact, and it is no doubt part of the calculus to bring whole industries to the shores of the US, while also bringing foreign govts to influence those companies which will remain abroad to direct their trade efforts towards reducing any disparities in trade balances, as exists between Israel and the US.

Finance Minister Smotrich says he’ll ‘study Trump’s order in depth’

The U.S. will impose a 17% tariff on Israeli imports, President Trump announced on Wednesday, as part of sweeping “reciprocal tariffs” reforms the administration declared on what it dubbed “Liberation Day.”

Iran has ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen amidst the ongoing US bombing campaign in the country, The Telegraph reported on April 3. The newspaper’s source added that regime officials’ concerns over the Trump administration have eclipsed discussions on Tehran’s regional proxies, dominating every meeting and sidelining previous strategic priorities.

How Peter Marks’ role in the COVID vaccine debacle exposed the flaws in America’s toxic health bureaucracy

Janet Levy: Norm Eisen said his good friend Supreme Court Justice John Roberts was not corrupt and that John went to the Czech Republic for a week so that they could spend time working on American rule of law issues together.

John should resign or recuse himself from all of the lawsuit cases that Norm and his partners have filed that are working their way to the SC.

Chief Justice John Roberts spent a week living at Norm Eisen’s 150-room palace in the Czech Republic where they “worked on American and European Rule of Law issues together.” Eisen was Ambassador 2011-2014. Roberts became Chief Justice in 2005. This was while Roberts ran SCOTUS. pic.twitter.com/u7YZazt7Re

I have long been a supporter of Israel. A fervent one, if I say so myself. It is time, it is past time, that I turn things around and become a critic. If friends cannot tell friends when they are going wrong, when they are making mis-steps, there is no point in having friends in the first place. So, here are some very serious criticisms of Israel.

Mr. Netanyahu, stay put. Do not visit Hungary or any place else for that matter. Yes, yes, I understand, it is only human for a brave man such as yourself to cock a snook at that foolish, depraved and immoral ICC arrest warrant. But you have more important things to do, see below.

Peloni:  In the latter 2/3 of this video, IDSF Director of International Relations Elie Pieprz provides an interesting insight into both the motivation and changing nature of Trump’s policy regarding Gaza.  Pieprz explains that diabolical nature displayed by Hamas in the hostage release led Trump to recognize that any ceasefire achieved would lack any durability, which would undermine the US’ ability to claim a significant victory in claiming peace had been achieved, and which is also necessary for Trump’s broader aims in the region.  Pieprz explains that this realization led Trump to support Israel’s ability to pursue a decisive victory on the battlefield, but that the US will not be supportive of a limited effort on behalf of Israel.  He also discusses the possibilities regarding what might take place between the US and Iran.
