When raw ambition puts your career before your country's security

Saying that Israel faces daunting challenges today and that those challenges will multiply and grow in the near future should not be construed as a partisan or ideological statement. Rather, it is a statement of fact.

It is also a fact that the greatest dangers facing Israel stem from US President Barack Obama's rapid withdrawal of the US from its position as the predominant power in the Middle East on the one hand, and from Iran's rise as a nuclear power and regional power on the other.

These power shifts along with the Muslim Brotherhood's rising power in Egypt; Turkey's Islamist government's regional ambitions; the rise of jihadist forces throughout the Persian Gulf; and the growing instability of the Syrian and Jordanian regimes, together constitute a threat environment unmatched in Israel's history.

Alongside these conventional threats, Israel is the target of a sustained, escalating political campaign to delegitimize its right to exist and its right to defend itself by the Palestinians and the international Left. This campaign threatens Israel's economy and prepares the ground for violent aggression against Israel by conditioning the West to believe that Israel deserves to be attacked.

Corrupt politicians who put their interests ahead of their countries... what's new? The difference is that the stage is getting set up for upcoming prophetic events and that, regardless of Tzipi Livni, Israel will NOT fall!

And one of the most galling things of all is that it appears that Isreal’s greatest enemies in the U.S. appear to have a large contingent of liberal Jews contained within.

This I do not understand.

Sorry, had another “Obama moment” and spelled Israel incorrectly.

I’ll go and eat my peas.
