Obama Leaves Israel with a Security Nightmare
PJ Media ^ | 7 Nov 2016 | P. David Hornik

Posted on 11/07/2016 11:21:22 AM PST by Rummyfan

Most Israelis will be relieved when Barack Obama leaves the White House. Although few are brimming with confidence about either of the candidates to replace him, Israelis will not miss much about Obama: the eight years of constant friction with a four-times-elected Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu; severe and obsessive public criticism for such actions as building homes for Jews in supposedly proscribed parts of Jerusalem, and the like.

There is also concern that the lame-duck Obama will take a pernicious parting shot at Israel from the United Nations.

As John Hannah notes in a Foreign Policy article on restoring America’s role in the world, the next U.S. president should:

… make sure the Israeli prime minister is among the first foreign leaders received at the White House and leave no doubt that the days of public backbiting and “distancing” from America’s most important and capable Middle Eastern ally are over. But public frictions, and even harmful diplomatic moves, are not the worst of Obama’s “legacy” for Israel.

Far more serious is the deteriorating security environment he leaves in his wake.

I am continually dumbfounded by people’s perceptions of Trump.

He has been outspoken in his support of it, and there’s no way he would be an enemy of it at the U. N.

Hillary on the other hand, will do her best to destroy Israel.

How anyone can talk like Trump is only nominal when compared to her is beyond me.

“Most Israelis will be relieved when Barack Obama leaves the White House.”

Bit of an understatement.

Any Israeli with so much as two brain cells to rub together hates and loathes obama - and with excellent reason.

"Just like everything else he has touched, he leaves it in shambles."

It is intentional. He does everything possible to advance radical Islamists and get Christians and Jews killed. He is doing the same thing in the US, too; it is just not as obvious yet. He and his fellow travelers are moving to purge Christ from the US public square, harass and cripple churches in every way he can and import Muslims as fast as he can.

Once the world finds temporary relief from these God hating, Freedom hating, Fascists, Israel and the West will be free to embrace God’s gifts and repent from the offenses of this last century.

Today is the day to turn to God and Pray for Mercy for our abuse of His Blessing, as we promise, with His Grace, to seek His Will in our daily lives.

Just a few things worth noting here ...

1. Israel has been pushing to topple Assad in Syria for years, and Russia's military support of Syria is listed in this article as one of the threats Israel has to deal with.

2. If we're sitting here in 2016 -- almost 70 years after the modern state of Israel was established -- and Israel is still relying on the U.S. to protect its security, then I'm not sure how it could even be considered a viable nation at all.

The current resident in the white hut will not go gently into thie night, he will be a thorn in the side of America for years to come. He and Holder will form a PAC and he will shill for the dark side, causing lots of choas in our country. Trump will have to hit hard and fast to quell much violence in the future!
