Defense Minister Ehud Barak has declared a special situation in all Israeli territory, covering all Israeli cities up to a radius of 40 kilometers around the Gaza Strip.
The decision will have a number of effects.
Very short article.
Go Israel...
Yes, Go Israel The Lord is with you!
I wanted to say, not to worry, we have your back.
With the Kenyan in the Oval office, I didn’t want to lie.
Israel’s on it’s own for the time being.
Didn’t mean to imply God wouldn’t be with them, and I believe that’s enough.
The dominos have begun to fall. I hope all the Jews who voted for Obama are happy with their decision.
I hesitate to post this. Maybe I shouldn’t. But from a purely objectively strategic postion.... well....
Let’s just say, Israel could be in a uniquely desperate situation if certain esacalation caused other neighboring countries to get into the fight.
Think about the allies of the allies that could be involved and supplying weapons and support to nations that would intervene on behalf of the Palestinians. There is no threat of American intervention or defense. And nobody cares about US relations or influence anymore. Many of the deterences that used to exist for enemies of Isreal aren’t there anymore. I hope they don’t realize this.
Iran could become a secondary concern for the nation of Isreal in short order. I hope they are prepared for that.
Pray for Israel.
I hope it was an “attack ANY one of these and you’d better get some 50,000 SPF lotion!”......
Israel, if backed into a corner in which they are relatively assured Barack HUSSEIN Obama will desert them (even work against them), has the Nuclear delivery capacity to turn every major Muslim city anywhere near them into GLASS. Be assured of that.
You are right, we do have their back ‘in prayer’!
Our nation/majority may have succumbed to evil but not God’s own.
They are protecting what Faithful God gave them and they know it.
Israel is never on it’s own..The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob has always had their back..
I know you, so yes I knew you implied it! Once you said, Go Israel, you didn’t have to say much more! I tend to use alot more words.
Egypt has just said it will respond to any “assault” on the Palestinians, who have been hurling rockets into Israel for the last few days. The Israelis have defended themselves, and today they got one of the leaders of this with a drone attack.
So that, in the mind of Egypt, was an “assault,” and now Hamas has “declared war” and the implication is that Egypt has joined them.
Who knows if this is just bluster. Morsi is nuts, but I’m not sure he’d use Egypt’s powerful American-supplied weapons on Israel quite yet or not. I guess we’ll know within a few hours.
Thanks. Glad you understood.
I agree with your take on it too.
