I often wonder about that Harvard Review pic....since the term “African-American” didn’t really come into use until around the mid 1980’s.

If I’m Bibi I’m like - “Gosh, sorry Barry but this is a really bad line - I’m barely able to hear you. Maybe try back later?”

"Though most strains of Islam have a belief in the Mahdi, Shiites traditionally believe he is Mohammed ibn Hasan, the 12th in the line of imams who were descendents of the prophet Mohammed. Though they do not know when the Mahdi will return, they believe he will come to end the misery of his people. Some strains of Islam even hold a belief that Jesus will be the Mahdi who will return and proclaim Islam as the true religion. “Satan always tries to duplicate everything that God does,” Wagner said, “and I believe he has created his own eschatology that is somewhat similar to that of Christianity, but false enough to where it is apparent that it is not the truth.” http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/onlinediscipleship/understandingislam/12thImam_BaptistPress0608.aspx

Remember what our Heavenly Father said:
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

Netanyahu maintains the same position he’s ALWAYS HAD with negotiating with the PA for forming a Palestinian State. As I suspected and have known from before, Netanyahu’s position on that is reasonable and fair ... and HAS NOT CHANGED!

And on the issue of ARABS In Israel, he made clear what his position HAS ALWAYS BEEN with Israeli Arab Citizens ... they have full rights of any citizen and they will be helped by various social programs as he has always done, and they will NOT be discriminated against. They are FULLY INTEGRATED into Israeli society!

BOTH of those things sounds EXACTLY like the Netanyahu from before and extremely fair. Israel should be EXTREMELY PROUD of Netanyahu as their Prime Minister!

Prime Minister Netanayahu gets SLAMMED by the Left and the New York Times ... AND ... and he gets SLAMMED by the Right and the Israeli papers ... LOL ...

AGAIN ... Netanyahu’s position on being very willing to negotiate with the PA and very willing in forming a Palestinian State has remained the SAME for years ... as he pointed out from his Bar-Ilan speech.

Netanyahu has never been the “holdup” on forming the Palestinian State, it has been the Palestinian Authority who has been the holdup. They don’t want to get the Palestinian State through “negotiations” with Israel, but they want to get it from it being “imposed from the outside” without any conditions attached,

Netanyahu Flip Flop: I Want a Two-State Solution [Israel]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3269715/posts

Days after vowing not to establish a Palestinian state, Netanyahu says something else in his first post-election interview.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has retracted his pre-election statements, according to which he would not allow a Palestinian state to be established.

“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution,” Netanyahu said Thursday in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “I haven’t changed my policy.”

Netanyahu said his earlier comments were a reflection of changing conditions on the Palestinian side, pointing to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s pact to form a unity government with Hamas, which Israel, the U.S. and most European countries consider a terrorist organization.

“I’m talking about what is achievable and what is not achievable,” Netanyahu said Thursday, insisting that he would support a demilitarized Palestinian state under a plan that would ensure Israel’s security.

The Obama Admimistration simply wants to “cherry-pick” a single statement, out of YEARS OF POLICY and ACTIONS by Israel and Netanyahu, to use as an EXCUSE to “bring down the hammer” on Israel and Netanyahu, something Obama has wanted to do all along!!

In First Post-Election Interview Netanyahu Says He Supports ‘Sustainable’ Two-State Solution, Never Changed His Policy
http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/03/19/in-first-post-election-interview-netanyahu-says-he-supports-‘sustainable’-two-state-solution-never-changed-his-policy/

JNS.org - In his first interview with American media after his Likud party’s election victory, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he supports a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state, if specific circumstances make that a realistic possibility.

“I don’t want a one-state solution,” he said in an interview with NBC News. “I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution.”

In a pre-election interview on Monday, Netanyahu had told the NRGwebsite that he would not support Israeli withdrawal from its territory to make room for a Palestinian state, due to the possibility of attacks by Islamic extremists.

“I haven’t changed my policy,” Netanyahu told NBC News on Thursday. “I never retracted my speech at Bar-Ilan University six years ago calling for a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state.”

Netanyahu said he believes “circumstances have to change” for there to be a Palestinian state, adding that current Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has made a pact with Hamas that calls for Israel’s destruction.

“And every territory that is vacated today in the Middle East is taken up by Islamist forces,” he said. “We want that to change so we can realize a vision of real, sustained peace.”

The U.S. State Department on Thursday said it “can’t forget” what Netanyahu said about his position on a two-state solution earlier this week.

“Certainly, the prime minister’s comments from a few days ago called into question his commitment to that,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

“We believe he changed his position,” she added. “We can’t forget about those [initial] comments.”

NO ... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will NOT be getting involved in PARTISAN POLITICS. That was one of the FALSE ACCUSATIONS against Netanyahu, made in Israel, during his re-election. Some had falsely accused Netanyahu of getting involved in the “partisan politics” of the USA and simply becoming an arm of just ONE PARTY in the USA. Netanyahu STEONGLY DENIED THAT. He made it clear at his Speech to Comgress ...

— — —

Quoting Netanyahu:

I want to thank you all for being here today. I know that my speech has been the subject of much controversy. I deeply regret that some perceive my being here as political. That was never my intention.

I want to thank you, Democrats and Republicans, for your common support for Israel, year after year, decade after decade.

I know that no matter on which side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.

The remarkable alliance between Israel and the United States has always been above politics. It must always remain above politics.

Because America and Israel, we share a common destiny, the destiny of promised lands that cherish freedom and offer hope. Israel is grateful for the support of American — of America’s people and of America’s presidents, from Harry Truman to Barack Obama.

We appreciate all that President Obama has done for Israel.

Now, some of that is widely known.

Some of that is widely known, like strengthening security cooperation and intelligence sharing, opposing anti-Israel resolutions at the U.N.

Some of what the president has done for Israel is less well- known.

I called him in 2010 when we had the Carmel forest fire, and he immediately agreed to respond to my request for urgent aid.

In 2011, we had our embassy in Cairo under siege, and again, he provided vital assistance at the crucial moment.

Or his support for more missile interceptors during our operation last summer when we took on Hamas terrorists.

In each of those moments, I called the president, and he was there.

And some of what the president has done for Israel might never be known, because it touches on some of the most sensitive and strategic issues that arise between an American president and an Israeli prime minister.

But I know it, and I will always be grateful to President Obama for that support.

SO YOU SEE ... Prime Minoster Benjamin Netanyahu WILL NOT be getting involved in AMERICAN PARTISAN POLITICS ... but will ONLY get involved when something DIRECTLY INVOLVES Israeli security.

Don’t bother asking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu!

I have a bad feeling about all of this—This may well trigger something even Obama can imagine. Next few weeks may well see some big changes in the USA. I fear for the Republic.

For one thing Lindseed Grahmnesty is in charge of the budget for the UN and if Barry tries to go to the UN on Iran sanctions or go around Isreal on the Palestinian state he’s going to cut off our UN funding. Which I would dearly love to see happen.

And if you honestly believe that Lindsey Graham has the spine to do something like that then you are delusional.

Lindseed says he will do it in a heartbeat. I actually think he will.

Do something so completely out-of-character like this? I can't believe it. He doesn't have the intestinal fortitude.

Who is going to stop Lindseed? Juan Mcshame has his back. McConnell is not going to buck that tide. They want to nuke Iran at the very least.

Nobody needs to stop him because he'll never start.
