Security and settlements

This cartoon, in Israel’s best-selling newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, depicting U.S. President Barack Obama and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas throwing darts at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu illustrates what many Israelis see as the outcome of talks Obama held with Netanyahu on May 18 and with Abbas on May 28. Obama was critical of Israel’s settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank and supportive of security steps Abbas has taken under a U.S.-funded training programme in the area.

Obama is not Israel’s friend. He is (in my heart I believe this) a Muslim from another country that has usurped the office of President. Israelis need to do what you need to do, to protect yourselves, you can’t count on America’s Government to stand by you anymore (I’m sorry to say). God Bless you and may he keep Irael safe.

There are MANY Americans that love Israel, I personally know many Texans that support the idea of terminating ANY of our employees(politicians) that intentionally do something to jeopardize the security of Israel!
