NETANYAHU: ‘EVEN IF ISRAEL HAS TO STAND ALONE, ISRAEL WILL STAND’
Breitbart ^ | March 3, 2015 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 03/03/2015 10:34:45 AM PST by Jim Robinson

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the State of Israel reset the agenda for the Western world in a speech before a joint session of Congress.

For weeks, the Obama administration has attempted to direct attention away from Netanyahu’s actual agenda – stopping the Iranian nuclear deal – and toward petty political maneuvering over permissions to speak and Democratic boycotts. All of that fell away in the wake of a clear, powerful, and emotional call by Netanyahu for the United States and Israel to stand united against the evil terror of Iran.

Netanyahu opened by expressing his humility for the invite, calling Congress the “most important legislative body in the world.” He then apologized for the speech itself becoming controversial. “That was never my intention,” he stated. “I want to thank you, Democrats and Republicans, for your common support for Israel, year after year, decade after decade. I know that on whichever side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.”

That clever gambit – an attempt to kill the Obama administration and the boycotting Democrats with kindness – placed President Obama’s puerile spitefulness on Israel in stark contrast. That, of course, was the point. Every time Netanyahu spelled out the ways in which the Obama administration had helped Israel – instances that were, by and large, pro forma commitments every American president makes to Israel – he forced Obama into a corner. Turning the other political cheek turned out to be a powerful weapon.

Netanyahu got to the heart of his message: absolutely devastating Obama’s reported Iranian peace deal. In the shadow of the Jewish holiday of Purim, when a Jewish woman pled for the survival of her people from the genocidal intentions of a Persian anti-Semite, Netanyahu echoed Queen Esther’s language:

Israel always has been Gods chosen people and that’s why the devil is trying very hard to harden the hearts of certain folks to be against Israel like our demon rat democrats. They are a very sick party, and easily have their hearts hardened against God. A dead god is very significant to the democrat politicians.

Thanks JimRob.

Hunker down, all, the despotic ignoramus and traitor in the White House is not done screwing with Israel or with us.

Oh, regarding his being a traitor — the only way it isn’t true is if he’s not American. See, it’s just that easy.

Israel will never stand alone. They are stiff necked (so am I), but they ARE God’s chosen people and God Himself will fight with them against all the world’s powers. (Somewhere in the Bible, it says so.

Very smart and diplomatic speech...and honest.

And included,

Netanyahu concluded by citing the Bible, in Hebrew. He quoted the parting words of Moses as the Jews were about to enter the land of Israel, from Deuteronomy 31:6:

However the ACLU has sued to remove any references to his speech that have anything to do with the Bible. And since Israel certainly does, then support for it also must go.

The problem isn't the people standing with Israel...it's the leadership of Nations getting in the way of what the people want...apart from the Islamic and ME nations who would not stand in the way of anyone snuffing out Israel.

We know that dark days are coming ahead at some point for Israel...and it will be more than rough waters for her...but God himself will settle the score once and for all...and every knee will bow! Israel has never stood alone...good or bad God's eye is on that nation and always will be...which trumps every nation who might abandon her.

I don’t think Israel will ever have to stand alone, there are to many of us that respect Israel. Just because we have an idiot in the White House doesn’t mean AMERICA is as stupid as the idiot....

It might come down to Americans volunteering to go fight for Israel the way that Jordan Matson and other Westerners have gone to Iraq and Syria to fight alongside the Kurds and Assyrian Christians.

About half of America is that stupid, because they voted for him. And he's not stupid: he's arrogant but he's achieving his goals. The Captain of the Titanic was an idiot; Obama would have altered course specifically to hit the iceberg.

Yep....she has others that would curl your toes as well....unfortunately there's little Obama does without passing it thru her hands...if that. IMO she has far too much authority and presence in affairs she should not overall.

Here's an interesting photo from 2010....body language speaks volumes of what goes on we don't know about wouldn't you say?

President Barack Obama talks with former President Bill Clinton and Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, July 14, 2010....Jarretts face is telling...as his Clinton's.

I disagreed with Billy Boy a whole lot...but he could captivate an audience with the snap of his finger BECAUSE he truly believes what he says....even if he's wrong...or at the very least can pull that demeanor off .

BO has nothing but arrogance parading to cover his obvious lack of experience and reveals his extreme narrcasistic personality....which borders on socialpathic. And just for the saying of it...Hillary is the least of these IMO. She's got nothing either...like it or not people who support her see her thru Bill...never of anything on her own as she's got nothing...like Obama...they cannot show results.

I tremble because America has the only remaining large concentrations of Jews in the world next to Israel. I fear unofficial pogroms will start against them next...probably thru the Islamists in this country!

Watch the Democrats and Lib progressives in particular become more apologetic towards those committing the violence and then becoming more politically brazen in their vocal attacks against US Jewry!(I’m not including the lunatic skin head fringe;the movements I’m talking about against jewry will be seen in the mainstream parties...even RINO pubs will get more pointed in their “tsk tsk” attacks!) When we see US Jewry leaving for Israel in large numbers then we’ll know for sure that the end games are afoot!

Seek the face of Christ my friends....time is running out!

Today is a good day to un-postpone that. Amount of time to work may seem more than it actually is.
