Every conflict between the west and any Islamic entity, summarized. The only difference in modern times is that the Islamists have developed an industry of systemic victim-playing once their violent attacks meet effective resistance.

A long-winded way of telling you that the terrorist Iranian Islamic regime will now resume selling its oil freely, making $400 million per day, which it will then use to rearm and reestablish itself and, of course, shortly thereafter, continue attacking its neighbors.

Pipes gets the last laugh here. He had the correct measure of the man, while the rest of us were foolishly impressed by Trump’s initial steadfastness in the opening days of the operation. Never doubt someone who has dedicated his adult life to studying Islamism.

Responding to missile attacks by Iran and its proxies gets you a “what the fuck are you doing?”. Perhaps theatrics. Perhaps not. Either way, the Shiite Axis feels it has a free hand and will continue to press its attacks.

This is what Islamists tell themselves in order to justify their attempted and constant extermination of non-muslim religious minorities in the Middle East. The “sin” Israel is “guilty” of is its mere existence as a non-Islamic entity in a region they demand be purely muslim.

Indeed, why?

Trump has become the Bridge on the River Kwai’s Colonel Nicholson: so engulfed in his task of completing the bridge for his captors (the “deal” with Iran) that he has forgotten who his real enemy is in the current war.

#ICYMI: 'Subhan Allah' – 'Allah Be Praised' – What A Coincidence: The U.S. F-15, Apache, And MQ-9 Combat Aircraft Sold To #Qatar – With Their Top-Secret Technology & Despite DoD Concerns – Are Same Types Of Aircraft Shot Down By #Iran ow.ly/syTe50ZaBBY #MEMRI

Hezbollah and Iran have Trump’s number. They correctly sense his desperation and now test the boundaries of the new equation he has set vis-a-vis Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran. The more Trump is seen to restrain Israel, the more Iran will press its attacks. Entirely predictable.

Trump: “I will ask Iran not to launch missiles at Israel”. Because that’s how the Middle East works: you politely ask terrorists to please not attack. They are subsequently so impressed with the politeness of your request that they refrain from further offensive action.

Why would a foreign jihadist wear an American flag? To ask the question is to answer it.

Iran and Hezbollah have secured a brilliant equation from Trump due to his desperation for a deal: Hezbollah can now launch drones and missiles at Israeli territory and Israel cannot shoot back. A far cry from fighting and defeating Iran. A very far cry.

No “cash for Iran”, except for the $400-$500 million per day from unrestricted oil revenue, since Trump - in exchange for exactly nothing - is dropping his blockade of Iranian shipping in Hormuz. There will be plenty of “cash”.

Apparently, Ankara is taking Pride Month very seriously. The dictator Erdogan spoke of the “liberation of Al Aqsa.” His mustached Interior Minister now dreams of “liberating Jerusalem,” restoring Turkish rule over former Ottoman lands, and becoming its governor. These fantasies do not stand alone. They come with Ankara’s Blue Homeland doctrine, an attempt to redraw maritime borders at the expense of Greece and Cyprus, while entrenching the illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus. Erdogan, the Islamo-Nazi tyrant, is marching at the head of a parade of delusion, aggression and imperial nostalgia. Cairo should know better than to flirt with the ghosts of General Abdel Nasser. Arrogance and aggression never end in glory. They end in disaster. Ask Khamenei. Ask Nasrallah.

Patient pathways to nuclear weapons now pending, once again.

Pakistani Islamist opposes Jews buying land and living somewhere because he wants a certain place he has never set foot in to be 𝙟𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙣. What other religious groups should we ban from living in places? How about Muslims London? No? If not, why not?

Alternate headline: “Hamas fires some of its more obviously visible staff members”.

Yes, a great “Dawah Opportunity”, for everyone except…Jibril Rajoub.

The left genuinely believes it deserves infinite immunity for its political violence and is genuinely surprised when, on the rare occasion, its members suffer actual consequences for it.

The party of Nazis and jihadists.

If you are wondering why Erdogan’s Sunni Islamist regime in Turkey has been ratcheting up its hostile jihadist rhetoric lately, wonder no more:
