Obama’s dangerous words

President Obama’s full-scale political war on Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu grows stronger each day. On March 23, Obama dispatched chief of staff Denis McDonough to launch the latest attack. McDonough, speaking on behalf of the president, called for Israel to retreat from its occupation of Palestine to the so-called 1967 borders; borders that many agree would leave the nation of Israel indefensible.

By calling Israel’s settlements in the West Bank an “occupation,” and demanding that Israel agree on 1967 borders, Obama is pressing for the annihilation of Israel. This is like saying the United States should give back New York state and Pennsylvania to England after we won them in our own War of Independence.

I have been inside Israel three times recruiting tourists and assisting groups in the local towns. Thus, I have an understanding of Israel and the people of Israel.

Psalm 122:6 in the Bible says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem …” Also, while you pray, pray also that President Obama will stop trying to hinder the peace of the region, lest God punish America for allowing such evil diplomacy.
