PROTECT ISRAEL ON ELECTION DAY

by Marshall Frank October 29, 2014

Israel is never free from attacks by Hamas, PLO, Hezbollah, … they are surrounded by cultures and countries that- for 66 years — openly vow they will not be satisfied until Israel is utterly destroyed. Nevertheless, Israel is unnecessarily torn in the middle by the Obama administration who pressure and ridicule Netanyahu, as though he’s the bad guy…while Jihadi rockets continue to explode in their towns and streets.

It is a sad time, indeed, for we have never had worse relations with our Israeli allies since it became a country in 1948, than we do now. I’ve always said, and nothing has shown me any different, that Barack Obama plays both sides, but his heart on the side of the Islamists.

This is the reason that I encourage everyone to vote straight down the line Republican this election, no matter the candidate, to pull the rug out from his power base, and prevent him from acting as dictator for his lame duck two years. He relies on support from state governors and senators, and congressmen to carry out his long range mission…in his words…”the fundamental transformation of America.” Let’s not give it to him.

Remember, nothing is better today in the world stage, than when Obama took office, particularly in the Islamist blocs. When we leave Afghanistan, the same thing will happen as has happened in Iraq, which should never have been totally abandoned by American forces. The saving grace is that Egypt rose up when the people saw they were being forced under the yoke of Shariah by Muslim Brotherhood rule — which Obama and Hillary Clinton supported. Let that sink in folks — Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton adamantly supported the Muslim Brotherhood. The people of Egypt rose up in defiance, with banners and signs all over the nation denoting Obama and Hillary as sympathizers with terrorists. That’s the truth.

Notice how we have not heard much from the administration since Morsi was deposed by the people of Egypt? Our attention is being diverted from one of the administration’s most embarrassing (and revealing) mistakes.

I’ve done as you have suggested with my early vote. I held my nose and pulled the GOP handle. Now, please tell me how the GOP will prevent HRC from being the next president??? I seriously doubt that a GOP Senate is going to make a difference. They don’t seem to agree on anything within the party body. Will they lead or simply block??

Ron Fischer October 30, 2014 at 10:48 am

Jose, I did the exact same thing and am in complete agreement with your assessment of the GOP!

linda October 30, 2014 at 1:02 am

Obama and Valerie Jarrett hate Jews and Israel.
The Egyptians have warned us about Obama and Hillary’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
And when we look at O’s appointments of radical muslims connected to Hamas and
Muslim Brotherhood…..Ex. Elbiary…….what does it take for people to finally believe
who Obama is: a Manchurian Candidate, Liar and Enemy in Chief.

Here is another article that supports what Marshall has said:

Train wreck in U.S.-Israel relations: Senior Obama official calls Netanyahu vulgar name, signalling “red hot” hostility between two governments. Here’s the latest.
by joelcrosenberg
Train wreck in motion?
Train wreck in motion?

(Central Israel) — The United States of America is going to turn against the State of Israel.

I wish it weren’t true, but Bible prophecy indicates that “all the nations of the earth” will turn hostile towards Israel, her capital of Jerusalem, and the Jewish people in the “last days,” and that as a result God will judge “all the nations.”

Examples:

· “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah.It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” (Zechariah 12:2-3)
· “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.” (Joel 3:1-2)
Despite the fact the U.S. has been Israel’s closest ally for six decades, such a strong and warm strategic alliance won’t last.

When will the pivot come? I cannot yet say. But I can say we are currently watching a train wreck in U.S.-Israeli relations.

As I have written about for several years, the attitude of President Obama and his senior advisors towards Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government has never been warm. But it’s never been as dysfunctional — nor outright toxic — as it is right now.

Here is the article that is rocking Washington and Jerusalem right now. Please read it and share with others. Please pray for the Lord to bring healing in U.S.-Israel relations — at least for now — especially in the final weeks of negotiations over the future of the Iran nuclear program. At some point, the U.S. will turn fully against Israel, but I pray to God it doesn’t happen in our lifetime.

The Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Is Officially Here

The Obama administration’s anger is “red-hot” over Israel’s settlement policies, and the Netanyahu government openly expresses contempt for Obama’s understanding of the Middle East. Profound changes in the relationship may be coming.
The other day I was talking to a senior Obama administration official about the foreign leader who seems to frustrate the White House and the State Department the most. “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit,” this official said, referring to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, by his nickname.

This comment is representative of the gloves-off manner in which American and Israeli officials now talk about each other behind closed doors, and is yet another sign that relations between the Obama and Netanyahu governments have moved toward a full-blown crisis. The relationship between these two administrations— dual guarantors of the putatively “unbreakable” bond between the U.S. and Israel—is now the worst it’s ever been, and it stands to get significantly worse after the November midterm elections. By next year, the Obama administration may actually withdraw diplomatic cover for Israel at the United Nations, but even before that, both sides are expecting a showdown over Iran, should an agreement be reached about the future of its nuclear program.

The fault for this breakdown in relations can be assigned in good part to the junior partner in the relationship, Netanyahu, and in particular, to the behavior of his cabinet. Netanyahu has told several people I’ve spoken to in recent days that he has “written off” the Obama administration, and plans to speak directly to Congress and to the American people should an Iran nuclear deal be reached. For their part, Obama administration officials express, in the words of one official, a “red-hot anger” at Netanyahu for pursuing settlement policies on the West Bank, and building policies in Jerusalem, that they believe have fatally undermined Secretary of State John Kerry’s peace process.

Over the years, Obama administration officials have described Netanyahu to me as recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and “Aspergery.” (These are verbatim descriptions; I keep a running list.) But I had not previously heard Netanyahu described as a “chickenshit.” I thought I appreciated the implication of this description, but it turns out I didn’t have a full understanding. From time to time, current and former administration officials have described Netanyahu as a national leader who acts as though he is mayor of Jerusalem, which is to say, a no-vision small-timer who worries mainly about pleasing the hardest core of his political constituency. (President Obama, in interviews with me, has alluded to Netanyahu’s lack of political courage.)

“The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” the official said, expanding the definition of what a chickenshit Israeli prime minister looks like. “The bad thing about him is that he won’t do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states. The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts.”…..

Our nation has, just as we individuals have, very few true friends in the world that stand beside us without reservation. Israel is one of those friends. The recent bad-mouthing of Bebe from people working inside the White House and drawing federal taxpayer checks is disgustingly despicable. And the president is not going to apologize to Bebe because those are not his own feelings. If not he as supposed leader, then who? What a kindergarten administration!

Christopher Jones October 30, 2014 at 8:19 am

Timely. Especially with the “revelation” that the White House has called Netanyahu a Chickens**t.

Odds are that Obama is the one who said it. What a disgraceful person.

Frank M. October 30, 2014 at 8:26 am

I continue to be amazed that this man was elected a second time with a majority of Jewish voters actually voting for him.. How in the world could they vote for someone of his ilk, who continues to denigrate the Jewish state and sides with the people who are trying to destroy Israel. Wake up folks, this is on you if you continue to vote blindly for the democratic party and their progressive leaders.

Charlie October 30, 2014 at 9:19 am

For the first time in my life and I’m 76 yrs. old I will be voting srtaight Republican.
I was a life llong democrat including voting for obama the 1st term when I fell for his glibness and lies. The democrats of my time have disappeared, F.D.R. with his social security, H.S.T. who spoke for the common working tax paying man, J.F.K. with his medicare , L.B.J. who championed civil rights. All gone. Today’s democrats are looking out for themselves by devious vote getting programs. For example placating the Latins by pushing for amnesty for law breaking immigrants, un heard of welfare roles, etc.
Yes, Marshall I will be following your lead and voting straight republican

Ron Fischer October 30, 2014 at 10:58 am

Charlie, in general as a nation, we have come to that point in our history that we actually vote “against” something or someone far more often that we vote “for” anyone or anything.

I fear the worst for Israel, the USA and the world if the Democrats remain in control of the Senate after November. We have been a beacon of stability in the world whether people liked us or not.

We have learned a lot from Israel and Israel has been a very good friend. People do not treat friends the way this administration treats people that have been our friends.

Edward A. Hensley November 1, 2014 at 12:10 am

Thanks Charlie. I will be 76 Monday 11/03/14. I could
get no better Birthday Present than to see the GOP win
control of the Senate, on 11/04. I have often threatened
to leave the GOP & register Independent, as both parties
are full of self serving hacks. But the choice is clear, the
lessor of 2 evils for this election is to vote straight GOP.

Steve Gure October 30, 2014 at 10:38 am

Unfortunately I only partially agree with you. There is no doubt that Obama and his administration are hostile to Israel. I did not vote for him because of the Rev. Wright issue. Nothing has changed. There were many Republicans who were and are hostile to Israel. Therefore voting a straight Republican ticket is not the answer. Finally, he is not totally wrong about Bibi. In the operation “protective edge” he talked one way and acted in another. In my opinion he did not act in Israel’s best interests, left before the job was finished and is still trying to justify his own actions.

Snake Hunter October 30, 2014 at 2:25 pm

Steve Gure – PM Netanyahou Is Walking A Tight-rope. Barry Obama & His “Acting President” Valerie Jarrett Are Firm Supporters of IRAN…. and they are completely in line with the Grand Ayatollah’s plan achieve a nuclear capability in this decade.

Any group, or individual that agrees with the BHO Foreign Policy Agenda has lost touch with Reality, and is WILLFULLY BLIND… AND POLITICALLY NAIVE… and that’s a fact.

Israel Is Our Only Trustworthy Friend In the Middle East. Therefore, We Must Remove Those Bozo Senators On November 4th – reb

Well said & documented Marshall. A straight GOP vote, down
the line, is clearly needed this election, to take the wind out of
Obama’s sails before he sails America & the Free World over
a cliff and into a thousand years of darkness. Yes, it’s that bad.

reality November 1, 2014 at 3:05 pm

Mandy Patinkin seemed in total despair, on a recent Steven Colbert show, and said he was running for president of Israel against Benjamin Netanyahu. He was very upset about Israel’s continued settlement building. And he is not the first Jew who has expressed despair, that the Israelis are doing just what the Nazis used to do to them-putting them in ghettos, destroying homes, etc. Obama has simply told the truth! Israel and the Palestinians MUST make peace themselves. How long do you expect American taxpayers to keep funding both sides, every time they destroy each other’s infrastructure?How many plane tickets have we paid for “peace talks”? James Baker, “W”s secretary of state, famously said: why should we care about the Israelis? They didn’t vote for us.
The Saudi sheiks were in the first Bush’s condo, when 9/11 happened. And W sure let Osama’s family go back home real quick! Whereas Rahm Emanuel is one of Obama’s best friends, and Rahm was born in Israel, I think. Who do you think HE is voting for?

Jose November 5, 2014 at 9:22 am

Marshall—

Thanks to your efforts and others who want to turn things around, we now have a Republican Congress and Senate. What’s the game plan? Do we just continue to bash Obama or do we try to get things done? Let’s not permit the fools to let this opportunity slip away!!!!!

Snake Hunter November 5, 2014 at 10:33 am

*** HUGE ELECTION DAY WIN ***

THE LEFT- PROGRESSIVE 6-YEAR EXPERIMENTAL GOVERNANCE IS OVER AS OBAMA-MANIA CRASHES AND BURNS – THE CRUDE BOZO CLOWNS IN THE U.S. SENATE CAN GO HOME… APOLOGIZE TO THEIR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS, THEN GET A JOB CLEANING UP THE TRASH THEY’VE CREATED.
>>
Now… the U.S.A. Is free to build that Keystone XL Pipeline from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico, then begin the long-delayed plan of Energy Independence from OPEC, and The SAUDI ARABIAN and RUSSIAN DOMINANCE of The World’s Energy Markets.

FACT: NORTH AMERICA HAS ABUNDANT OIL & NATURAL GAS UNDERGROUND
WAITING FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO DEREGULATE IT. WE CAN EXPORT CNG IMMEDIATELY, AND REBUILD FRIENDSHIPS WITH OUR EUROPEAN ALLIES!.

Now… we can build a business friendly environment that will attract major investors that believe in Our System of Liberty & Justice for all Americans that hope for a better life.

Now… we can Accentuate the Positives… and Eliminate The Obama Negatives – reb

As someone who is a Christian, but was fortunate enough to grow up with close Jewish friends, into whose autograph books we would enter, among other good wishes:

“Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren’t for Christmas
We’d all be Jewish”

Have always, in the past, been a strong supporter of the State of Israel.

However, no longer trust
