Obama Is Poking His Finger Into The Eye


It looks like the Devil is busy poisoning the minds with blind hatred towards his enemies the Jews. He believes that if he can destroy the Jews, and the Nation of Israel, the Messiah won’t be able to arrive in Israel.

Last week America’s Muslim President, Barack Obama Hussein, intentionally humiliated Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu by ignoring customs and abstaining from any public appearance with him during Netanyahu's visit to the White House.

Normally - when a Head of State visits the US - he or she is greeted with honor, some-times even military honors. For example when one of the Arab Leaders comes to the White House, they are even met at the Airport by the President Himself. If it happens to be the King of Saudi Arabia, Obama even bows before him to show his submission to Islam. All these people are invited through the front door of the White House and brought to the Oval Office. And of course the visit is always covered by the media with full press coverage.

However, Obama did not allow any press coverage or photographs to be taken of his meeting with Netanyahu. The Israeli Prime Minister was brought in under the cover of night through a side door and quickly ushered into a side room where he had to wait for the “grand appearance” of the President, who took his time. Obama arrived with all his arrogance and distain showing, what has been reported as a vindictive attitude towards the Jewish Leader of Israel.

Oh my goodness, - I never thought I'd see the day that an American administration would denounce the Jewish state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem.

America’s Muslim president is directly responsible for the break-down of the peace process. It is no coincidence that as all this unfolded, Palestinian Arabs were rioting in Jerusalem and elsewhere, again shooting rockets out of Gaza.

And what seems to be the big problem? Apartments are being built in Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, the city of King David, has been the Jewish capital for over 4000 years. Conquering nations occupied Jerusalem over the time, but there has never been another State with Jerusalem as its capital. It has always been a Jewish town. Even when Jesus was there, he visited the town to worship at the Temple as a Jew. – The only one who was never there was Muhammad. In one of his dreams he “flew” on a horse to a far-away mosque. At the time of his dream there was no mosque in Jerusalem, so he couldn’t have flown there. – Jerusalem is never even mentioned in the Koran. – Muslims bow their heads towards Mecca, and their rear-end towards the Jewish Temple mount.

The world is putting Israel’s right to exist is on trial, trying to delegitimize the Jewish claim to their land. Under Obama, Jerusalem has now become occupied territory in the West Bank. Israel's enemies have found another battlefield -- the worldwide court of public opinion. It's an attempt to wipe Israel off the map, not with a nuclear bomb, but with slander and to paint a future world without Israel.

Obama no longer negotiates with Israel, he demands that Israel submit to the Islamic Arabs and give up their land in order to appease the Islamic Arabs. In short, what he is demanding is the final and total destruction of the Jewish State of Israel. But then, he already promised during his election campaign: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Obama, you may poke your finger into the chest of the Israeli Prime Minister. What you are really doing, is poking your finger into G-D’s eye. The Almighty declares Jerusalem as his own city. You better pay attention to what G-D says to you! "Anyone who injures you injures the very pupil of my eye. But I will shake my hand over them, and they will be plundered by those who were formerly their slaves.” (Zech. 2:8-9) …It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. …” (Zechariah 12:9)

Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch and Professor Arnold B. Ehrlich believe that rather than referring to God’s eye, the “eye that has been touched” (Hebrew, aino) belongs to the one doing the touching (hanoge’ah).

Understood in this context, the one touching [harming] Israel damages his own eye so at the very least, he can no longer see clearly. His perception has diminished, physically, mentally and theologically. And if the damage is severe, he may have even blinded himself so he can no longer distinguish truth from non-truth.

Whichever way one interprets Zechariah 2:8—either touching the apple [pupil] of G-D’s eye or of one’s own eye—the bottom line is that G-D is well aware of the persecution the Jews have suffered throughout the ages. And He has vowed to recompense those who fostered harm upon them. For better or for worse, they are His covenant people.

Irrespective of what we see or think in today’s world, HaShem is at work in the Jewish homeland. Rest assured He will completely fulfill every promise He has made.

Yet, Obama doesn’t care. His Jihadist intent to destroy the United States from within and his hatred for the USA and even its flag is becoming well known.

However, one day he also will stand before the Almighty, when He will judge all nations according to how they treated his people, - the Jews.

Hillary's Harsh Words for Israel



Last Friday, Hillary Clinton telephoned the Israeli Prime Minister and expressed frustration over Israel's announcement of new settlement construction, a move that deeply embarrassed visiting U.S. Vice President. Clinton warned Benjamin Netanyahu that his government sent a "deeply negative signal" by taking steps that undermined renewed Middle East “piece”- (often spelled “peace”-) talks. She insisted that Israel had undermined trust and confidence in the peace process ... Netanyahu really got an earful as State Hillary Clinton lashed out verbally at him on Shabbat. Such harsh language was never before directed at a friend and ally of the United States.

If you remember, - Netanyahu issued a 10-month building freeze in Judea and Samaria in November 2009, because of US pressure. This was supposed to reignite those piece talks.

In March, Defense Minister Ehud Barak approved the building of 112 homes in the Judean hareidi-religious community of Beitar Illit. Israel's Interior Ministry announced plans to develop 1,600 new residences in the large Ramat Shlomo hareidi-religious neighborhood, in northeast Jerusalem.

But Biden issued a strong statement against the Jerusalem construction. "I condemn the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in East Jerusalem,” Biden said. "The substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I've had here in Israel.”

In a Friday interview with CNN, Clinton called Israel's building announcement "insulting" to the United States, and reaffirmed the US commitment to the "two-state solution." "I mean, it was just really a very unfortunate and difficult moment for everyone," said Clinton, "and I regret deeply that that occurred and made that known."

Following Clinton's phone call on Shabbat, Prime Minister Netanyahu called the leaders of Italy and Germany to discuss what had happened. He assured them that regulations would be put in place to prevent such an occurrence in the future.

U.S. envoy George Mitchell is expected to arrive in Israel on Tuesday, and will meet with the Prime Minister. However, PA chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said that the PA may not engage even in indirect negotiations with Israel unless the Jewish state reverses its decision to build in Ramat Shlomo.

Why does America think it can dictate how many houses should be built in Jerusalem? Is it one of their cities? The gradual and steady destruction of Native American culture is a shameful chapter in Americas’ history. Shouldn’t America return those occupied territories before they start telling other countries what to do? – That, by the way, is exactly the reason, why other countries dislike Americans; because they always try to tell everyone else what to do.

Yet U.S. Muslim President Barack Hussein Obama did not hold back in condemning the humiliation caused to Joe Biden with the Israeli announcement of 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem during what was supposed to be the vice president's friendly visit to Israel. Instead of accepting Netanyahu's partial apology and letting bygones be bygones, Obama issued a stern warning to the Israeli prime minister and is now demanding that he take "specific actions" to show he is "committed" to the U.S.-Israel relationship and to the piece process itself.

It looks like the prime minister has reached the moment of truth, where he must choose between his beliefs and political cooperation with the right on one hand, and his need for American support on the other.

It is a difficult dilemma. If he comes into conflict with the U.S. administration - hoping his friends in Congress and the Jewish-American community support him in the name of Washington's obligation to the "eternal capital of the Jewish people" - he could jeopardize Israel's security cooperation with the Americans against Iran. Netanyahu knows that the fuel and spare parts for Israel's air force, as well as the warning signals for missiles headed this way, all come from the United States. He also knows that Israel has no other allies with which to face the threat posed by the Islamic Republic.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tried to calm down the political crisis with the United States and told the Cabinet Sunday morning “not to get carried away and to calm down” following the unprecedented public rebuke from top American officials.

When God gave us the land in Gen. 12:3, He really meant it. You see, God cannot lie and He says what he means and means what He says. When the White House pressured Sharon to disengage from Gaza, it resulted in over 9,000 Jews becoming refugees in their own country, - and to this day many of them are still homeless. Within a day or so of this New Orleans was destroyed, causing hundreds of thousands of Americans to become refugees in their own country, and rendering nearly a million homeless. Dozens of these correlated events have occurred every time the White House forced Israel to make concessions to the enemies of G-D and of Israel.

Now the US has sent its VP and Secretary of State to force Israel to split the country by making sure the "Palestinians" have a contiguous state and yet there is no other way to do that without cutting Israel in half.

In the news we hear of the coming big earthquake in California - but little is said of the New Madrid Fault that starts in Missouri and goes south to Mississippi. This could cut the US in half causing millions to be affected and many killed. Since G-D repays Israel’s enemies with the same medicine, this would certainly be a possibility considering what we have witnessed over the past few years. One thing is certain, God will always do what He says, Gen: 12:3. - America, your downfall is closer than you think.

Meanwhile, in Israel, the Government has now quietly started issuing the new gas masks, including the nerve gas shots. Local Israeli papers have issued warnings to everyone to stock their bomb shelters with the necessary supplies and to be sure they can be sealed properly.

There seems to be not much difference in the behavior of the average Israeli. They have been there before and know they will survive and be able to fight the enemy when the time comes. On the other hand, they also know that something will happen very soon. If they are worried, they just try not to show it.

Israel will not be destroyed, and the Messiah will plant His Feet on the Mount of Olives and when He does the whole world will know all about it. We have to understand is that the Master of this World has set the Redemption of His Nation Israel into high gear with the resettlement of the Land of Israel in our time, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the ingathering of the exiles, and reemergence of Israel as a world power during the last 62 years. All of this is to establish “Malchut” – the Kingship of G-d over the world.

For the Jew, Israel is and will be the safest place on earth, and many are beginning to wake up to that fact, as they start to leave Europe while the airlines are still operating.

G-d’s plan for Israel in particular and the world as a whole - as promised to the Prophets of Israel - will surely come to pass.

Netanyahu's Peace Plan




By Barry Rubin

In his successful meeting with President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a superb, workable peace plan backed by a wide Israeli consensus.

Those obsessed with whether Netanyahu would say the “two-state solution” mantra missed it.

In fact, though Netanyahu didn’t accept that framework precisely because he and his Labor party coalition partner are for peace.

If Netanyahu said “two-state solution” it would buy him moments of cheap praise. But then, experience shows, their attention would turn to just one theme only: getting Israel to make unilateral concessions and take dangerous risks.

In the conception of Netanyahu and Barak, the right kind of two-state solution is the only solution to the conflict. But how to ensure it does end the conflict rather than just make it bloodier and on worse terms for Israel?

Netanyahu made this clear in his joint press conference with Obama:

“Everybody in Israel, as in the United States, wants peace. The common threat we face are terrorist regimes and organizations that seek to undermine the peace and endanger both our peoples.”

The real question is how to get peace without strengthening radical forces; how to get a solution that doesn’t make things worse for Israelis and Palestinians? Netanyahu continued:

“We want to live in peace with them. We want them to govern themselves, absent a handful of powers that could endanger the state of Israel.”

Israel wants peace—it has more incentive for that than anyone. When Netanyahu says Israel wants the Palestinians to govern themselves, he isn’t talking about limited autonomy but in the context of a functioning peace agreement, which means a state. What are the “handful of powers?” Obviously, Hamas but it’s also a clear reference to influence and interference by Iran and Syria.

Why should Israel agree to any Palestinian state functioning as a base for destroying it?

He continues: “For this there has to be a clear goal…an end to conflict.” A definitive end of conflict agreement that the new framework ensures is key to any solution: two states not Round Two of the conflict. The Palestinian Authority has rejected such a commitment for very obvious reasons: it hasn’t been ready to accept permanent peace even if it gets a state.

Both sides, Netanyahu continued, must make compromises: “We’re ready to do our share. We hope the Palestinians will do their share, as well.” To reach peace requires the Palestinian side to meet its commitments—which it has done far more rarely than Israel—and make concessions. This may seem obvious but is usually forgotten in Western policy and media coverage. President Obama did make this point about Palestinian obligations as well, more specifically than many observers seem to realize.

Read this carefully. To reach a peace agreement::

"The Palestinians will have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state; will have to also enable Israel to have the means to defend itself. And if...Israel’s security conditions are met, and there’s recognition of Israel’s...permanent legitimacy, then I think we can envision an arrangement where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side in dignity, in security, and in peace.”

Here is Netanyahu’s view of the two-state solution. If the Palestinians meet Israeli conditions—including the reasonable demand that Palestinian refugees be resettled in Palestine, not Israel--there can be a two-state outcome. Here, Netanyahu deliberately used Obama’s phrase in the end to make clear how he is defining his goal.

This is critical: a two-state solution is not a gift given at the start of negotiations but a reward for the proper compromises ensuring peace succeeds.

Netanyahu points out another deep-seated Israeli concern: A bad “solution” can make things far worse. Israel doesn’t want to end up with a Palestine that functions merely as “another Gaza.”

Why should anyone be confident this won’t happen? Wishful thinking or faith that being in power makes people moderate—an argument proven incorrect about Yasir Arafat and his colleagues almost twenty years ago?

“If, however,” says Netanyahu, “the Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish state, if they…fight terror, if they educate their children for peace and to a better future, then I think we can come at a substantive solution that allows the two people to live side by side in security and peace and I add prosperity, because I’m a great believer in this.”

He’s right. What’s the point of a two-state solution which could easily:

--Make Palestine a radical state tied to Iran and Syria.

--Leave the Gaza Strip in Hamas’s hands which means, in effect, a three-state solution. Short of a U.S.-led multinational invasion force—rather unlikely—there’s no way Gaza can be included in a peace agreement with Israel. Talking about a two-state solution while the Palestinian Authority doesn’t even control Gaza is unconnected to reality.

--Creates a Palestine in which all schools, mosques, and media teach Palestinians that all Israel is theirs and they must conquer it, a Palestine full of incitement to violence inspiring hundreds to become terrorists, thousands to help them, and hundreds of thousands to support them. In some respects, this describes the Palestinian Authority today, despite its real efforts to limit cross-border attacks.

--Sets off a new cross-border war, with Palestine’s government and security forces either looking the other way or actively assisting terrorists.

--Creates a Palestine that invites in Iranian, Syrian, or other armies, or obtains missiles from them targeted at Israeli cities.

--Extends the conflict another generation by using the state as base for a “second stage” to finish off Israel.

Israel has good reason, based on the 1990s’ peace process experience, to believe its own risks and concessions won’t be reciprocated and that U.S. and European promises of support in that event won’t be kept.

And so Netanyahu and his country says: Peace? Certainly! But only if it’s real, lasting, and stable, making things better rather than worse: a real two-state, not big-mistake, solution
