Brian Schrauger—Israel’s Growing Clout throughout the World:
Analyst Lawrence Solomon notes that Western media “likes to describe Israel as increasingly isolated in the world.” But in fact, he writes, just the opposite is true: “Israel has never been less isolated, never been more embraced.”
Solomon is an analyst with Probe International, an environmental advocacy group based in Canada. Writing in last week’s issue ofFinancial Post, Solomon said that Western aversion to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is causing it to falsely portray Israel as increasingly isolated in the global community of nations. “Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu’s triumph in Israel’s election [last] week [was] shocking and appalling to the Western press.” But in every way, says Solomon, Israeli voters knew exactly what they were doing. “At root,” he writes, “Israelis understand that they’re better off with Bibi.”
During Netanyahu’s first term as Prime Minister in the late 1990s, “Israel systematically began dismantling the welfare state, tackling both the social safety net and the vested corporate interests. He sold off Israel’s interests in state enterprises, abolished foreign exchange controls and otherwise liberalized the economy.” This attracted “foreign capital and [turned] Israel into an entrepreneurial marvel that, according to The Economist, has the world’s highest density of startups.”
As a result of Netanyahu’s economic policies, 2014 set a record for “Israeli high-tech and biotech startups—52 Israeli startups sold to the tune of some $15-billion plus 18 IPOs worth another $10 billion.”
Solomon notes that Israel’s economic and technological boom under Netanyahu’s tutelage has dramatically increased Israel’s standing in the Middle East and among non-Western nations on the continents of Africa and Asia.

SnyderTalk Comment: While the United States under Obama is betraying Israel, country after country including predominantly Arab Muslim countries are strengthening ties with Israel.
Who would have thought that the U.S. would be on the wrong side of a bad deal with Israel? It just goes to show that anything can happen while Obama is in charge.
I believe that Yahweh is dividing the world into two groups: those who believe Him and those who don’t. There is no other group from Yahweh’s perspective.
The U.S. is in a precarious position—not just the country, but the people as well. It may not matter to narcissistic politicians like Obama, but it matters a great deal to Yahweh.
Israel and Jewish people are litmus tests. Taking sides against them is taking sides against Yahweh. You can’t read the Bible, specifically His promises to and about the Promised Land and the Children of Israel, and draw any other conclusion.
Do you see the storm clouds gathering? Do you know whose side you are on?
Being on the right side may not be enough to protect you if you live in a country that is stabbing Israel in the back, but it’s the only place to be anyway.

Avi Issacharoff: Israeli official brands emerging Iran deal as ‘incomprehensibly’ bad—As Iran hailed “massive progress” toward a deal on its nuclear program, an Israeli official described the terms of the looming agreement as “incomprehensibly” bad and rejected the Obama administration’s contention that it would keep the regime a year away from accumulating enough fissile material for a bomb. Estimating that a framework deal would indeed be signed soon, and that a full agreement would follow in June, the official lamented the US-led negotiators’ apparent readiness to remove sanctions without Iran being required to halt its global terrorist activities, and listed a host of areas in which Tehran was working against American, Israeli and moderate Arab interests without being made to pay a price. His comments underlined immense Israeli opposition to the emerging deal that saw Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lobby against it in Congress earlier this month to the abiding anger of the Obama Administration. Charged with forming a new government on Wednesday after winning the March 17 elections, Netanyahu vowed to patch up ties with the US, but insisted Israel would do everything to thwart the emerging Iranian nuclear deal, which he said was “an agreement that endangers us, our neighbors and the world.” Speaking to the Times of Israel, the Israeli official, who insisted on anonymity, protested that “Iran will retain core capabilities,” under the emerging accord. While the Obama Administration “claims that the Iranians will remain a year away from enough fissile material for a bomb,” he added, “we don’t agree with this determination. It will be less time.”
SnyderTalk Comment: Two points about the agreement with Iran need to be understood: 1) the deal that Obama plans to sign is “incomprehensively bad” and 2) the deal will do exactly what Prime Minister Netanyahu said it will do—“endangers us, our neighbors and the world.”
One more point needs to be grasped by everyone: this is a deal between Barack Obama and the Iranians. Although he is President of the United States, for this deal to be binding on the country, the Senate must ratify it. Absent that, it will not be binding.
As long as Obama occupies the Oval Office, the deal will stand. In the time remaining in Obama’s term of office, the Iranians can finish their work on a nuclear weapon and fit it for use on their missiles. That means a new nuclear arms race is about to get underway in the Middle East. Actually, it’s already underway. That’s not my opinion. It’s a fact.
This is what happens when we elect someone to serve as president who lacks ability and common sense.
See “U.S. Senate Votes Unanimously to Send Message on Iran”. That means every U.S. senator voted in favor—Republicans, Democrats, and independents.
As I have said before, the writing is on the wall.
Boaz Bismuth: Whose side is Obama on?— One of the issues that were most conspicuously absent from the campaigns that preceded Israel’s recent election was the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The Zionist Union chose to ignore it after realizing that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was not all too popular on the Israeli street, nor on the Palestinian street for that matter. After all, it is a little difficult to sell the idea of peace and a Palestinian state when the Palestinian leader, having served for 11 years, has been unsuccessful in organizing an election at home over the last five years. In fact, Abbas only has half a home, since the Gaza Strip has been under Hamas control for the last nine years. But then, the day after the Israeli people dared defy the polls, the political commentators, the nonprofit organizations and the foreign diplomats and re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israelis woke up to a surreal reality: The Middle East is being ravaged by countless problems, but U.S. President Barack Obama wants to talk only about a Palestinian state. More accurately, he wants to establish a Palestinian state. The sooner the better. Obama even made sure that the White House chief of staff would address the left-wing pro-Israel lobby J Street and say that the Israeli “occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end.”
SnyderTalk Comment: Barack Obama is no friend of Israel, and he is not a believer in Yahweh. Despite what he says, about those two things I have no doubt.
Daniel W. Drezner: Allies Behaving Badly: Where Is the White House Headed on Israel?—Last week, the Obama administration was doing a lot of throat-clearing about the need to reevaluate relations with Israel after Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection. The administration’s tone has been remarkably inflexible despite Netanyahu’s post-election efforts at a walk back. What gives? The Wall Street Journal quoted a senior administration official saying, “The Israelis really better be careful because a lot of these people will not only be around for this administration but possibly the next one as well.” I have never seen a senior administration quote like that one directed against an ally.
SnyderTalk Comment: The “senior administration official” quoted by the Wall Street Journal is right about one thing. Electing a Democratic president in 2016 will mean that a lot of the same people will be around in the next administration.
That’s why we should not vote for Democrats, any Democrats at any level of government.
They need to be taught a lesson. Voting for Democrats won’t teach them anything. Not voting for them will teach them a lot.
Algemeiner Staff: Leading US Rabbi Joins Chorus of Concern Over Obama Administration’s Attacks on Israel— One of America’s most prominent rabbis, Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, has voiced concern over the Obama Administration’s latest assault on Israel, following the reelection of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu last week. In an email to congregants on Wednesday, Lookstein, the spiritual leader of New York City’s famed Kehilath Jeshurun synagogue and principal of the prestigious Ramaz school, said that while “I try to steer clear of politics in my sermons and in messages to the community. There are times, however, when an exception should be made.” “One of those times is now,” the rabbi continued, “when reports are coming from the administration in Washington of a need for reassessing the Israel/United States relationship.” Lookstein, who was ranked by Newsweek in 2008 as the most influential Orthodox pulpit rabbi in the United States, followed with a full-throated endorsement of an article by syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, who argues that “there is zero chance” that the right climate for the establishment of a Palestinian state will come “now or even soon.”
Dore Gold: Iran Takes Over Iraq— General David Petraeus is the best known top American officer from the Iraq War. There are only a few in the US who know more about internal developments in Iraq than he does. After all, he was commander of the successful “surge” in US forces in Iraq in 2007-2008 that changed the tide of the war and crushed the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida, which was the forerunner of the Islamic State group. Petraeus was subsequently appointed head of the CIA by the Obama administration, a position from which he had to resign in 2012 as a result of a personal affair. Given his background, when he grants an interview to a major newspaper like the Washington Post about what is currently happening in Iraq and in the Middle East in general, his words can have enormous influence on the centers of power from Cairo to Riyadh.
Simone Dinah Hartmann: Why We Can’t Trust Iran— Do you remember how ABC’s “Nightline with Ted Koppel” began? Its first broadcast was on November 8, 1979. Four days earlier, a group of Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 66 Americans hostage, just months after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini took over Iran. ABC started Nightline as a special nighttime program to update Americans on the fate of the hostages. Each day for the next 440 days, Americans followed the unfolding events of the hostage crisis and its trigger, Iran’s Islamic Revolution. The takeover was not a random act by radical students but a demonstration of the extremist nature of the Islamic Republic and its hatred of America – a hatred that hasn’t vanished, even as the regime is on the verge of signing a nuclear deal with the United States.
John R. Bolton: How to Stop Iran’s Bomb—In theory, comprehensive international sanctions, rigorously enforced and universally adhered to, might have broken the back of Iran’s nuclear program. But the sanctions imposed have not met those criteria. The president’s own director of National Intelligence testified in 2014 that they had not stopped Iran’s progressing its nuclear program. Successive administrations, Democratic and Republican, worked hard, with varying success, to forestall or terminate efforts to acquire nuclear weapons by states as diverse as South Korea, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil and South Africa. This gold standard is now everywhere in jeopardy because the president’s policy is empowering Iran. Whether diplomacy and sanctions would ever have worked against the hard-liners running Iran is unlikely. But abandoning the red line on weapons-grade fuel drawn originally by the Europeans in 2003, and by the UN Security Council in several resolutions, has alarmed the Middle East and effectively handed a permit to Iran’s nuclear weapons establishment. The inescapable conclusion is that Iran will not negotiate away its nuclear program. Nor will sanctions block its building a broad and deep weapons infrastructure. The inconvenient truth is that only military action like Israel’s 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein’s Osirak reactor in Iraq or its 2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea, can accomplish what is required. An attack need not destroy all of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, but it could set back its program by three to five years. The U.S. could do a thorough job of destruction, but Israel alone can do what’s necessary. Such action should be combined with vigorous American support for Iran’s opposition, aimed at regime change in Tehran.
David Daoud: Officials: Relationship Between Obama Administration and Israeli Government is ‘Irreparable’— Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s senior advisers have described the relationship between the Obama Administration and the Israeli government as “irreparable,” the UK’s Jewish Chronicle reported on Thursday. Their dire evaluation comes on the heels of weeks of hostility from the White House and State Department towards Netanyahu, a situation which has intensified since Netanyahu’s Likud party won the largest amount of Knesset seats in Israel’s general election last week. Less than 24 hours after polls closed in Israel, and Likud’s win became evident, the administration was already openly talking about a “reevaluation” of the relationship with Israel. The stance was later toned down by administration officials to reevaluating the United States’ approach to the peace process. The United States has hinted that its “re-evaluation” of the peace process might entail the withdrawal of its veto on some anti-Israel resolutions tabled at the UN Security Council.
John Mecklin: Disarm and Modernize— In the early decades of the Cold War, NATO made arrangements to bury what were known as atomic demolition munitions (in essence, nuclear mines) at key points in West Germany, to be detonated if Warsaw Pact forces ever invaded. Although this plan, if enacted, might have slowed the enemy advance, it also almost certainly would have turned vast West German territories into radioactive wastelands littered with corpses and smoldering buildings—the stuff of hellish alternative-history scenarios. The West viewed such tactical nukes—NATO fielded 7,000 to 8,000 of these shorter-range, smaller-yield weapons for most of the Cold War—as tripwires in anticipation of the Soviet Union’s own Strangelovian plans for its thousands of tactical weapons. That is to say, the forward positioning of these nukes was a signal: If the Soviet Union invaded Europe, confrontation would escalate quickly to the nuclear realm, and the United States would intervene.
Monir Hussain: Raising Children to be Soldiers of Allah— Dissent is not tolerated in the monolithic Islamic society of Bangladesh. Extremist Islamic forces not only vandalize the idols and temples of the Hindus or Buddhists, they are also kill anyone who speaks out against radicalization or Islamization. The extremist Islamic forces mostly target university teachers, engineers, writers and bloggers, one after another — whoever is not in total accord with their faith, including anyone secular-minded. Notably, it was after the founding the International Islamic Front for Jihad in 1998, that Bangladesh experienced the first major attack conducted by Islamists, on March 6, 1999. It killed 10 and critically injured 105 innocent people who were listening to music at a cultural program organized by Udichi, a secular cultural organization.
Gabriel Nadaf: It’s Hard to Be a Christian Arab in Israel, But Not Because of Prejudice— My name is Gabriel Nadaf and I have the privilege of being a Greek Orthodox priest from Nazareth in the Galilee. My people have mistakenly been called “Christian Arabs” but the reality is that we are Arameans, descendants of people who lived here in Israel since the time of the Bible. Israel’s Interior Ministry has recently recognized us as the “Aramean nation,” following a lengthy public campaign. Partners in this effort were a number of Israeli Zionist organizations. In the past three years I have become a controversial figure in Israel for the simple reason that I embrace Zionism, Jewish sovereignty in Israel, and the tolerance, respect and opportunity that has grown out of that sovereignty for all. I believe that our youth – Christian youth –should fully integrate into Israeli society. Part and parcel of that integration includes serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel’s Army, or undertaking some other form of national service, which Israel routinely provides for teenagers.
SnyderTalk Comment: I agree wholeheartedly. Christians living in Israel should participate fully in Israeli life. That includes serving in the IDF.
Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik: Antisemitism Is a Central Component of Palestinian Authority Ideology—On Feb. 27, PA TV broadcast Muslim preacher and professor of Quranic Studies Imad Hamato, saying: “Humanity will never live in comfort as long as the Jews are causing devastating corruption throughout the land….If a fish in the sea fights with another fish, I am sure the Jews are behind it.” In February, the Fatah-run TV channel Awdahbroadcast a PA TV documentary that justifies the persecution of European Jews throughout history as an act of self-defense. Last year, an ADL survey found that 93% of adults in the West Bank and Gaza answered “probably true” to a majority of the antisemitic stereotypes tested in the survey.
Nawaf Obaid: Yemen Intervention Highlights a New Generation of Saudi Leaders and a New Foreign Policy—Just two months after the passing of King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia’s extensive intervention in Yemen on Thursday should serve notice that a major generational shift is underway in the kingdom that is sure to have far-reaching ramifications. With almost 90% of Muslims identifying as Sunni, and the Saudis at the epicenter of the Sunni world, the Saudis believe they can meet an urgent need for a united Sunni front against Shiite Iran, as well as the terrorist movements tearing the Arab world apart. The Saudis are watching the Iranian nuclear negotiations closely. Saudi Arabia simply cannot allow Iran under any scenario to use its “near status” as a nuclear power to expand its influence and prestige around the region. Settling for a so-called U.S. “nuclear umbrella” is unfathomable to Riyadh. Whatever deal the Iranians get, the Saudis will pursue an equivalent program to reach nuclear parity.
Michael Rubin: What Motivates Iranian Diplomacy?—American leaders’ habit of projecting Western motivations and sincerity onto partners often opens the door for adversaries to outplay the State Department at the bargaining table. Within days of the original Iran hostage crisis, for example, Iranian intermediaries accepted offers to negotiate with the Americans. There was absolutely no progress, however, nor did Tehran mean there to be. The strategy continued under George W. Bush. Despite building a covert enrichment plant and experimenting with nuclear triggers that only had military applications, Iran defused any serious repercussions by offering to negotiate with the EU. Hassan Rouhani, at the time Iran’s National Security Council chairman, later bragged about how he had played the Europeans. Never before has a country repeatedly declared its goal was “death to America,” taken clear actions to achieve that aim, and suffered no serious consequences for its actions. The Iranians hint at diplomacy, and get a free pass. They realize that by feigning sincerity, they can achieve their nuclear aims.
Jonathan S. Tobin: Hopes for a Two-State Solution—The reason why a clear majority of Israelis supported Netanyahu and parties likely to back him was that few of them believe there is any reasonable hope for a two-state solution in the foreseeable future. They were convinced of the danger of further territorial concessions by the actions of the Palestinians and the culture of hatred for Israel and Jews that pervades their society. The president treats the repeated rejections of Israeli offers of statehood by the Palestinians and the support for terrorism even by the supposedly moderate leaders of the PA as irrelevant. Israelis do not. Nor are they interested in replicating what happened in Gaza after Israel’s 2005 withdrawal in the more strategic West Bank. That’s an opinion shared even by many of those who supported Netanyahu’s opponents. Until a sea change in Palestinian politics occurs that will allow its leaders to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state no matter where its borders are drawn, Israelis will reject two states in practice rather than in principle and no amount of White House bullying will change that.
George Jonas: The Arab/Muslim Side Was Never Serious about a Two-State Solution—The Palestinians could have had their state all along if their aim had been coexistence with the Jewish state and not its elimination. They could have had a Palestinian state before a Jewish state ever came into being, by accepting the Peel Commission’s recommendations for partition in 1936. But Israel’s opponents had zero interest in the peace process except as a ruse and a propaganda tool. The Arab and Muslim world is guided by ideas and emotions, religious as well as secular, that never got past the Middle Ages. For Israel to trade land for peace in such a climate is, if anything, detrimental to peace. Expecting Palestinians to stop attacking Israel by distributing land to them is like expecting sharks to stop attacking swimmers by pouring blood into the water. The question was never whether Israel would give land for peace, but whether it could get peace for land. The answer is possibly yes, one day, but not yet.
Washington Post Editorial: Assessing the Prospects for Israeli-Palestinian Peace—President Obama’s assessment this week of the prospects for Middle East peace was sobering but realistic. For now, he said, “there still does not appear to be a prospect of a meaningful framework…that would lead to a Palestinian state.” “We can’t continue to premise our public diplomacy based on something that everybody knows is not going to happen.” For those who have criticized the administration for its unwarranted conviction that a peace deal was within reach, that is a welcome change. The curious thing about Obama’s statement is that he attributed this state of affairs to an election-eve statement made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister said pretty much what the president did: For now, the conditions don’t exist for creating a Palestinian state. The attempt to portray the Israeli leader as a single-handed spoiler makes no sense. In fact, the “framework” for a Palestinian state painstakingly assembled by Secretary of State John F. Kerry was spurned by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, and the “peace process” has been dormant since that happened nearly a year ago. Obama appears to be considering breaking with long-standing U.S. policy by supporting a UN Security Council resolution on the terms for Palestinian statehood. That wouldn’t improve the regrettable status quo he described.
Calev Ben-David: Israelis Say Obama Support for Palestinians May Hinder Peace—Israeli Minister of Energy and Water Resources Silvan Shalom said Obama administration support for unilateral diplomatic moves by the Palestinians would violate the U.S.-backed Oslo peace accords of the 1990s. “An imposed settlement between Israel and the Palestinians is doomed to failure,” Shalom told Israel Radio on Wednesday. During more than two decades, the U.S. has consistently opposed Palestinian moves to sidestep talks by appealing to the UN for statehood recognition. Interior Minister Gilad Erdan told Channel 2 TV that the administration is making a mistake by focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a time when radical Islamic forces are destabilizing the region. “Obama has declared war on Netanyahu and his criticism is starting to look like overkill,” said Eytan Gilboa, professor of political science at Bar-Ilan University. “His suggesting that the U.S. will abstain on, or even support, the Palestinian statehood initiative at the UN will generate more backlash.”

10 Then Moses said to Yahweh, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” 11 Yahweh said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? 12 Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.” 13 But he said, “Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will.”

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
