Is President Obama blackmailing Prime Minister Netanyahu?
08/16/2011
Dr. Michael Evans
The US could easily stop the plan to recognize Palestine as an independent nation. Yet the Obama Administration has steadfastly refused to flatly promise to use our UN veto to defend Israel from this threat. Why? A growing number of observers in both America and Israel are raising this question: Is President Obama blackmailing Prime Minister Netanyahu by threatening to withhold the veto and allow the UN vote to go forward unless the Israeli leader makes the concessions being demanded by Washington? If this explanation is true, it would explain a great deal of what has been transpiring. The Obama Administration has been demanding, frequently and very publicly, that Israel “withdraw” to the 1967 borders. Everyone who pays the least attention knows that this would be a political, military, economic, and humanitarian catastrophe for the Jewish state. More than half a million Jews would be left homeless, and Israel's enemies would be poised on the doorstep for military strikes at any moment. So far the Netanyahu government, which is a divided coalition government in Israel's parliamentary system, has resisted this pressure. But what happens if President Obama tells my old friend, “Either give in to my demands, or face a UN-recognized Palestinian state”? Will Israel be able to resist that kind of pressure? Will the God-fearing and Israel-loving people of America allow our leaders to do this in our names? Understand this clearly—every nation and individual that supports the United Nations and Obama Administration plan to curse Israel and steal from her the land God promised the Jews as an eternal possession will suffer His chastisement and judgment. Every nation and individual that opposes this plan and stands with Israel as a blessing to her will enjoy His blessing. That is why we have launched a national campaign to rally opposition to the Obama Administration's plan, to expose the anti-Semitism that lies behind world efforts to curse Israel, and to support the Jewish people. Your gift today to bless Israel is urgently needed.
