Hey, I’m as happy as everyone else, but I can’t help but notice those missiles raining down on Israel.
Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East:
A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict. Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported that on “Ceasefire day 1,” Israel “took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced. Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8am. UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack. Iran, via state media, reports strikes against Lavan Island and the oil infrastructure there.”
At least eleven people were injured in Israel, and attacked Qatar and Bahrain as well as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The government of Israel says it supports the ceasefire but only if it is real, which it obviously isn’t. The Prime Minister’s Office announced: “Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region.”
Maybe the Islamic Republic will now stop attacking Israel and other countries in the region. Or maybe the weakened regime’s surviving leaders will take a lesson from Trump’s inaction after Hamas repeatedly violated the ceasefire in Gaza, and from the indifference of previous American administrations to its flouting of all manner of agreements, including the vaunted Obama nuclear deal.
The Iranian Islamic regime, meanwhile, is presenting the agreement as an American surrender and acceptance of its nuclear program. The dissident Iranian news source Iran International reports that “Iran’s Farsi-language version of its ceasefire proposal includes ‘acceptance of enrichment,’ a provision not present in English versions, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday, highlighting discrepancies in how Tehran is presenting its terms.”
On the other hand, the Trump administration still declares that it will put pressure upon the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran International also noted that “senior Trump administration officials told Israel that during the two-week negotiations, the US will firmly demand removal of Iran’s nuclear material, no nuclear enrichment, elimination of the ballistic missile threat, and more, Israel’s N12 reported on Tuesday.”
These demands, however, are hollow. Without military action, which Trump will become progressively less likely to resort to as the midterms approach, the U.S. has no leverage.
If the Islamic Republic of Iran remains in power, it will build up its strength again and then resume its jihad against Israel and the U.S. That’s one of the only two reasons truces are allowed in Islamic law: one is if the Infidel enemy converts to Islam, which is not in play here, and the other is if the enemy is winning, so as to give the warriors of jihad time to regroup and then fight again more effectively.
The Trump administration, like so many others before it, should have studied Islam and realized that the Islamic Republic is serious about Islam above all. Then it would have known that when the Islamic Republic’s leaders showed a willingness to conclude a ceasefire, they were tacitly admitting that they were losing. It was time to press forward to final victory, not to stop fighting. And so another opportunity to rid the world of a jihad threat is lost, another chimera of peace is announced, and the jihadis will rejoice that they have survived to fight another day, as yet another Western government has kicked the can down the road instead of defeating them.

It’s been more than 2 years, as everyone knows, that Israel has been fighting hamas…a terror group closely tied to iran; fighting hezbolah and the houthis as well as some elements from iraq.
None of this time has been a time of “peace” in the ME. So how can there be peace now when iran keeps shooting at Israel, threatening the U.S., even shooting at its fellow muzzies in other lands?
Lying in the ME is more like it.

Man. What the fuck is going on, this is scary what I’m seeing with our right wing media.
They are so so so so so obsessed and fanatical to be against Israel. It is nothing but absolute lies. They are twisting stuff and they have succeeded in manipulating the public, including the right wing against Israel.
The lies are astounding and purposeful. Tucker is too smart to not know what he’s doing. Israel is nowhere near as bad as his Muslims , who kill their own citizens, forget about outsiders. They murder their own and oppress them. But he will NEVER say that. He only talks about Israel all day, and the people are listening to him and all the others. It’s pretty much every single show that I watch has flipped on Israel, and they’ve gone rabbid.
It’s getting much worse too by the day.

I despise him. It’s ridiculous that I used to like him – when all that Portland BLM thing was going on.
Here in the U.K. he was on bbc being interviewed on Sunday. 🤬
SKA says
But the “ceasefire” has now created more friction between supposed hard-liners and what they are calling “compromisers.” If they started gunning each other down that would be as awsome as Reagan admin pitting Iran and Iraq against each other. As the mutant tells Taylor in Beneath the Planet of the Apres “Sir we do not kill our enemies! We make our enemies kill each other!”
tgusa says
“A big day for World Peace!”
And so the great circle jerk continues full steam ahead. The Western political class and others in positions of power are not up to the task in regards to defending Western civilization against islam. They have charted a course that will end in failure. In comparison, they make Neville Chamberlain look like a brilliant statesman. If you do not know your enemies nor yourself you will be imperiled in every single battle.

tgusa, as Robert Spencer points out, Trump and his administration are so clueless about Islam that a ceasefire solves nothing. Were I American I would have voted for Trump but watching his action and his words regarding the Middle East I regard him behaving like a raving, clueless imbecile. He’s made a terrible mess in Syria and now is followingmthat up with a mess in Iran.
DavidW says
Unfortunately, President Trump doesn’t yet realize that Islam is based upon deceit – whether it is the basic foundation of the religion or how it deals with “infidels”, especially infidels who are kicking their mohammedan rearends. I just hope that the military is locating all of the current leaders so that when the ceasefire ends, as it probably will, the leadership can be eliminated.
Tim gallagher says
In the middle east or anywhere else that islam poisons human minds, there will never be peace. Islam is nothing but hate and calls for murderous violence. Muslims could actually win this 1400 year long war by just out breeding non Muslim. What a hideous dark ages that will be. We have to ban Muslims or our civilised societies will be destroyed. Go Israel, the only civilised country in the middle east.
Walter Sieruk says
Having any kind of a “ceasefire” for two weeks or any length of time with such an evil entity being that “mullah regime” is foolishly wrong. For the war continue until and horrific tyranny. It should be completely destroyed. For it is dangerous and deadly towards the Iranian people. It’s dangerous and deadly towards America. It’s dangerous and deadly towards Israel. It’s dangerous and deadly towards all the other nations of the world.
In addition in any such so called “dialogue” with the representatives of that Islamic tyrannical Islamic regime they would only speak half- truths and outright lies.
Only a fool would “dance with the Devil” That must mean that President Trump is a fool?
As it has been, truly , said “If you dance with the Devil you’re going to get burned.”.
The absurd situation of folly of meeting with and having “talks” with those murderous mullahs and tyrants of the brutal cruel oppressive tyrannical oppressive death -inflecting \Islamic regime of Iran will only result in the treachery of deceit and disaster.
For dictators are sons of Satan and that if President Trump has any wisdom at all. He will call off “talks,” For if Trump goes through with such “negotiations” he might fall for the beguiling lying words with would in a bogus “peace agreement” that would be a disaster for America, a disaster for Israel, a disaster for the Iranian people and a disaster for the world.
Patrick says
President Trump is an Islamic moron, too many of his terrorist Islamic friends are in his ear. Like Gaza, Trump prevented Israel, from wiping out Hamas, in Iran, didn’t appease Iranians but, left in place, a Sharia like administration. Iran is hell bent on developing a nuclear bomb, they’d be the first to use it!
Walter Sieruk says
This agreed to hoax of a “ceasefire.” which even lead to a “peace agreement” with that Islamic tyranny is an affront and a disaster. The reason why this is so is because it would mean that that regime of Iran would continue to be a danger to American, to Israel and a further brutal cruel death inflecting tyrannical upon the people of Iran.
If all that isn’t terrible enough , the continued existence of that “mullah regime” of Iran would mean the those responsible for the unjust imprisonment and torture of the prisoner an the meaning and mass murder of so many Iranian patriots who only after a legitimate government that ensure the basic human rights of Its citizens . would escape with complete impunity for all the horrendous atrocities they viciously commited against the Iranian people..

“Washington Post columnist argues Muslims shouldn’t have to assimilate in America”
“Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid is making the case that Muslims don’t need to assimilate in America.
“The assimilation defense — look how well we’ve integrated — is satisfying to make. But it concedes a premise I no longer accept: that a minority community’s right to be in the United States depends on its willingness to converge with the cultural mainstream. It shouldn’t depend on that. It shouldn’t depend on anything,” Hamid wrote Wednesday.
Hamid, who is Muslim, titled his piece “I’m tired of proving I belong in America,” responding to rhetoric from GOP lawmakers like Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., who last month wrote on X, “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who recently said, “I’m ready to get rid of the Muslims.”

Two very different people – I/ the UK’s working-class-background ‘Tommy Robinson’, an incredibly brave guy who noticed the organic connection between Islamic ideology and a/ Muslim threats to Jews in the UK and b/ Muslim abuse of native British non-Muslim girls, and II/ Ayaan Hirsi Ali Ferguson, who was born and brought up within Islam… lived in Saudi Arabia as a child and experienced its blend of cruelty and opulence first-hand … and encountered Muslim Brotherhood Islamic revivalism as a teenager in Kenya – have both visited Israel and have given them exactly the same advice. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, at a conference in Jerusalem some years ago, listened patiently to people waffling on about the ‘peace process’ and then, when it was her turn to speak, stood up, explained the Islamic mindset and then said, calmly, quietly, “Even if you (Israel) give them (i.e. the Arab Muslims) Jerusalem, there will be no peace”. And Tommy, visiting earlier this year, said exactly the same thing: “You will have no peace while you are surrounded by Jihad”.
THAT is as true of India (one might say, rather than ‘Jerusalem’, ‘Kashmir’) as it is of Israel! And true of a lot of other countries, too.
BOTH of those statements recognise that Jihad never stops, has never stopped; that Jihad – the ‘struggle’ by military and non-military means, by force and by fraud, by lies, by infiltration and subversion (hijra), to force all of humanity to Submit to this infernal and antihuman cult of blood and war – is hardwired into Islam, it is its raison d’etre. And BOTH statements, though made to Israel, HAVE applied throughout the past 1400 years to every non-Islamic community unfortunate enough to be within reach of Muslims. Which is now.. all of non-Islamic humanity, given modern communications and transport and waves of Islamic ‘hijra’ inserting mohammedan beachheads into practically all countries on earth. All of us have jihad within the gates, one way or another, and Jihad on the doorstep. And if our political and religious leaders and our generals do not wake the hell up, fast, humanity’s future, especially for those who find the Islamic belief system cruel, ugly and destructive and have NO intention of converting to such an antihuman blight on the body mind and soul, is going to be perfectly ghastly.
