How will Israel survive Obama's naïveté on Iran?

As an American citizen I did everything I could to stop this from happening. I voted for McCain. But now in Israel as I watch as Obama appeases the Iranians I wonder if we in Israel will be able to survive.

Obama apparently believes that appeasing totalitarian regimes works. His Nowruz address will become the classic example of such an attempt. But the history of appeasement is not very encouraging. It has not worked with the Nazis, it has not worked with Arafat's regime, and least of all has it worked with the jihadists. For those in Europe who have for years believed that their appeasement has brought them less terror and cheap oil can only look around and see what Europe has become with the recent protests in Luton and Malmo.

Is it not better to have some dialogue with Iran? Are there no benefits at all? John Bolton thinks not.

The US would survive the collapse of its appeasement policy toward Iran, even the scenario of an EMP attack. Israel would not.

If you believe what the Bible says, then...

Israel will survive just fine.

“Did I misread this?

The author states that he (she?) is an American citizen who voted for McCain.

Then the author states that he is an Israeli citizen, and, if I understand, he voted for Likud just months after voting in America. “

That’s how I read it too.

No biggie. We’ve got a dual Israeli citizen as Chief of Staff.

Hell, our President’s a Kenyan national.

What a joke.

Good point:”They’ve been voting the same way for 70yrs and it’s not going to change.”The question is why?Did you know that 75% to 80% of Jews vote Democrat?Obamas past associations with anti-semites and marxists was well known prior to the election.Obama is no friend of Israel or Jews yet they voted overwhelmingly for Obama.Why?

May God protect and save Israel by his mighty power, and may God confound all of the evil ones who try to do any harm to Israel. We in America do love our Jewish friends in Israel, and we do pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. Do not forget us for we are praying for you.

I have relatives that voted for Obama, and they are now repenting of what they have done to our nation and to Israel. They are now seeing the light and it really does hurt. I will pray for any liberal Jewish friends that we have. They will see the light before this is all over. They will soon be asking themselves, how could they have ever been so stupid?
