TIME—How Trump’s Presidency Could Become a Dividing Line in the Middle East:

Tens of thousands of visas were revoked last week by President Donald Trump’s executive order tha[t] bans the citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S.

The revelation illustrates the scale of the disruption caused by Trump’s decree, which he signed an executive order on Jan. 27 . The initial disclosure came in a federal court hearing in Virginia in a case challenging the revocation of the visas of a pair of Yemeni brothers who arrived at Washington’s Dulles airport on Jan. 28. The Justice Department initially said 100,000 visas had been revoked, but the State Department later claimed it was closer to 60,000.

The admission capped a week of legal and political turmoil triggered by the imposition of a ban that could reshape the network of allegiances and historic grudges that govern the modern Middle East. Nation states there divided roughly into two camps: those affected by the ban, and those exempt. Among the first camp, outrage ensued. Iran banned U.S. citizens from entering. The Iraqi parliament called for the same. An official from Libya’s U.S.-backed government accused America of “racial discrimination.” But elsewhere there was a tactical silence. With their citizens unaffected by the ban, the governments of some U.S.-allied states, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, declined to comment. The United Arab Emirates defended the ban.

Throughout the region, Trump’s executive order seemed to foreshadow a coming season of turbulence in relations with the United States. During his campaign, Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown” on all Muslims entering the United States. Here, in the first week of Trump’s administration, was a policy that followed through on his campaign rhetoric, apparently with little regard for the geopolitical fallout.

SnyderTalk Comment:

U.S. Middle East policies were Barack Obama’s most notable failures as president.  He abandoned our traditional allies as he pivoted toward Southeast Asia.  He failed there, too, but the carnage he left in his Middle East wake is still growing today.

In 2009, shortly after taking office, Obama traveled to Cairo to launch his apology tour.  His actions left Egypt in a shambles and the violence spread quickly across North Africa and the Middle East.  It was dubbed the “Arab Spring”.  The Syrian Civil War emerged from that fiasco.  So did the Iran nuclear deal.  It developed into the Brutal Arab Winter.

Globally, the number of deaths associated with Obama’s failed Middle East policies is in the hundreds of thousands and increasing rapidly.  The refugee crises in Europe and the U.S. are rooted in that debacle.

Critically important, Obama’s Middle East policies hung Israel out to dry.  Israel is our most reliable ally in the world, but all his talk to the contrary, Obama treated her like the dirt beneath his feet.  That’s changing now.

Enter President Trump, and the Democrat infested mainstream media is up-in-arms about what might happen as the U.S. pivots back to our traditional allies in the Middle East.  They are blind to reality.  President Trump is not.  That will become obvious in the days ahead.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.

We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name.  We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
