Steve Apfel—A Dybbuk in the White House:
In Jewish folklore a dead malcontent may return to possess the living. The troubled soul is known as a “dybbuk’, and it runs amok making mischief. Writers and people of stage and screen have invoked the fiend to aggravate family wrangles to the point of madness.
Yet for all its wicked antics the dybbuk wants nothing more sinister than to settle a score. It may upturn some lives in the ghetto, but not the balance of world power. And no dybbuk, until now, toyed with the President of America.
Love or hate Obama’s par-cooked nuclear deal, there’s no doubting the architect’s turn-up of the old order. Iran, hitherto America’s number one foe, is to be, in the world’s number one hotspot, America’s number one ally.
A detente, in other words, is brewing between the world’s powerhouse and the world’s sour pickle jar. The President’s resolve to bring war-mongering mullahs in from the cold is life-changing.
Debate his grip on reality; fret at the madness of trusting Iran to abide by unverifiable terms; believe that the terms will inhibit or pave the way to nuclear breakout; extol Obama’s indefatigable self-belief or cut at his mulish naïveté, it all pales beside one dominating horror. Effectively a president of America has decamped to the enemy.
Obama’s swap of colours is not apiece with Don Corleone’s, ‘keep your friends close but your enemies even closer.’ The White House has not kept Sunni Arab and Jewish allies close. He’s left them not knowing which category they fall into: friends or enemies of America. Spare a thought for Israel.
Obama balks at warning Iran against an attack on the Jewish state. He won’t tell the mullahs to stop calling for a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. He’ll not make it plain that such talk is unacceptable to America.

SnyderTalk Comment: A “dybbuk” is an evil spirit that takes control of human beings. In essence, it’s demon possession.
Is Obama demon possessed? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know that he’s a malcontent. Even worse, he’s a malcontent who thinks that he has all the answers.
By now, his experience should have taught him that he isn’t always right. In fact, he should have realized that he’s wrong most of the time.
Obama is a malcontent who thinks he has all the answers, and he doesn’t learn. I call that the terrible trifecta.
Consider this: Obama is pushing the LGBT agenda as though it is his mission in life to mainstream perversion in America, and he has made great progress. You might even say that it’s the only thing he has accomplished so far.
Obama claims to be a Christian. Jeremiah Wright, the man who supposedly led Obama to Yahweh, says that he made it easy for Obama to become a Christian without having to renounce his faith in Allah.
That’s impossible. You can’t serve Yahweh and false gods. The Messiah made that crystal clear. He said “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.” (Matthew 6: 24) Besides, it violates the 1st Commandment: “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20: 2-3)
Obama has shown us where his heart lies. To this day, he refuses to call Islamist terrorists what they are because he insists that they are not real Muslims. He thinks that Islam is a peaceful religion despite what the Quran says. All the while, he makes excuses for what Islamist terrorists do because, as he said, Christians used to do it, too—500 years ago, and that wasn’t Christianity. The culprits were power and wealth hungry rulers, some religious and some secular, using religion to control the masses and accumulate fortunes.
Obama’s ignorance is profound and his Christian faith is suspect at best.
But there’s more. Right now in the United States, churches comprised almost entirely of LGBT members are forming. Some of them have adopted this motto: “Come as you are, stay as you are.” Whether they have adopted that slogan or not is irrelevant, though, because the LGBT churches that haven’t adopted it live by it.
The “come as you are” part of the slogan is correct. Yahweh welcomes us where we are—in the depths of our depravity, and He takes us to where He wants us to be if we demonstrate faith in Him.
Paul was getting at that when he said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2: 8-9)
We are saved by grace (unmerited favor) THROUGH faith in Yahweh (trust in Him and obedience to Him).
Grace and faith go hand-in-hand. They lead to obedience and salvation.
Grace without faith in Yahweh is of no significance. Paul made that clear when he said, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” (Hebrews 11: 6)
James explained what real faith is. He said that faith without works (i.e., acts of obedience that are consistent with faith) is useless:
What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD,AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2: 14-26)
As James said, faith that isn’t manifested in works that Yahweh calls “good” is useless. So, what does Yahweh call “good”? Good works are works that are consistent with Yahweh’s commands.
That’s why salvation without repentance (a change of heart and behavior) is out of the question. Faith in Yahweh results in a desire to change our ways and please Him.
Thus, the “stay as you are” part of the LGBT church slogan is wrong and evil. In essence, it means that people are being offered counterfeit salvation—salvation without repentance. That leads to the pits of hell. LBGT church members need to understand that.
The nuanced subtlety of Obama’s message is appealing to evildoers, though. He’s telling them that they do not need to change a thing. Even worse, he’s pushing an agenda that is moving toward making it wrong socially and possibly illegal even to tell people that sexual perversion is evil. Evidence to support that conclusion is growing rapidly.
True believers cannot accept Obama’s philosophy. In fact, we are duty bound as believers to resist it and tell the truth.
We are approaching the time when it will be essential for churches and other Christian groups not to be 501 (C) (3) organizations according to IRS code. One day, it will be illegal for 501 (C) (3) organizations to tell people the truth. That’s why SnyderTalk is not a 501 (C) (3) organization and it never will be. Please do not underestimate the significance of this point.

Shahrzad Elghanayan: Iran executed my grandfather. Now the regime is trying to hide the way it has treated other Jews— Until Iran’s leaders decide to get their facts straight about Jews, they should stay quiet on the subject. No, I’m not talking about former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust-denying antics. These days, as Iran’s leaders try to soften their image to seal a deal to limit the country’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, they’re peddling a revised and rosy version of Iran’s own 2,600-year Jewish history. Asked by NBC’s Ann Curry during recent talks in Switzerland whether Iranian leaders understand why Jews have been wary of their rhetoric, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, “We have a history of tolerance and cooperation and living together in coexistence with our own Jewish people, and with — Jews everywhere in the world.” That’s not quite right. Iran’s Jews did have something of a golden age relatively recently, but Zarif, in his role as representative of a regime that eschews pre-revolutionary Iran, can’t take credit for it. That era was a brief period when the conservative Shiite clergy were stripped of their power — after the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 gave Iranians of all religions and ethnicity equal rights, and before Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power in 1979.
Mark Musser: The Holocaust as a Green Nazi Sacrifice— There is a luxuriant oak tree standing just inside the gated entrance of Auschwitz Camp I where the sign reads, “work makes you free.” There are many stately oaks inside the camp and just outside the entrance. Oak trees also existed in the immediate proximity of a few of the gas chambers and crematoriums as well. The gas chamber doors at both Auschwitz and Treblinka were made of solid oak. At Auschwitz, double oak doors were used to seal the sacrificial fate of all the victims. That Adolf Eichmann (1906-1962) was placed in charge of the logistics of the holocaust is incredibly ironic. His last name virtually means “man of the oaks.” No matter how industrial the holocaust has so often been characterized, the ancient symbolism of human sacrifice being practiced under the oak trees bleeds through the veneer of Nazi modernism. Eyewitness accounts depict conspicuous lightning rods that were attached to each of the four sides of the crematorium chimneys at Auschwitz. The massive flames that burst out from the chimneys accentuated the lightning rods, especially at night. The Nazi SS letters themselves were iconically stylized after lightning bolts borrowed from nature mystic Guido von List (1848-1919). List promoted a pan-German nature mysticism called Ariosophy. Ariosophy simply means “wisdom of the Aryans.” It was both anti-modern and anti-Semitic. Ariosophy mixed apocalypticism, Norse mythology, paganism, racism, evolution, eugenics, and ecology into its worldview. SS leader Heinrich Himmler was well aware the Norse god Thor was not only the god of thunder and lightning, but also the god of the oaks.
Sarwar Kashmeri: The Middle East Is Fighting a 30 Years War, So Let It Be—Prof. Larry Goodson of the U.S. Army War College has told me he believes the Middle East is in the midst of a 30 Years War, similar to the one that roiled Europe from 1618-1648. It is an intriguing comparison with which I largely agree. The 30 Years War wasn’t just one war, but actually a series of wars fought by numerous nations for a variety of reasons, including religious, dynastic, territorial and commercial rivalries. Its destructive campaigns and battles occurred over most of Europe. It is conventionally held to have begun after the future Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II, in his role as king of Bohemia, attempted to limit the religious activities of non-Catholic groups and impose Roman Catholicism on his domain. Needless to say, the Protestant nobles of Bohemia and Austria rose up in rebellion. When the war ended, the notion of a Roman Catholic empire in Europe, headed spiritually by a pope and temporally by an emperor, was permanently abandoned. With the signing of the treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the essential structure of modern Europe as a community of sovereign states was established.
Ariel Ben Solomon: Chaos in Middle East could last for ‘at least a decade,’ expert tells ‘Post’—The breakdown of states throughout the Middle East since the outbreak of the Arab Spring has led the people in the region to fall back on primordial attachments, enhancing the power of sectarianism, tribalism, and Islamism, experts told The Jerusalem Post. Various forces are seeking to fill the vacuum amidst the chaos, including a rising Shi’ite Iran and its allies, Sunni jihadist groups and Arab states. The Iranian-Shi’ite battle being played out in the region has often been characterized by each side accusing the other of extremism or terrorism, but much of the underlying feud appears to be sectarian. Shmuel Bar, a senior research fellow at the Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy Research at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, said we are witnessing the failure of the nation-state in the Middle East, and people are reverting back to families and tribes.
Peter Kenyon: Remembering Gallipoli, A WWI Battle That Shaped Today’s Middle East—Heads of state and thousands of guests traveled to the windswept shores of western Turkey on Friday to mark the 100th anniversary of one of World War I’s most infamous battles. The Gallipoli campaign saw Ottoman forces, fighting under German command, repel an Allied attack led by Britain and France. Nine months of fighting left a half-million dead and wounded on both sides. The Allies withdrew, setting in motion events that would leave the region forever changed. It’s called ANZAC Day, for the Australia New Zealand Army Corps that landed here on April 25, 1915. But the seeds of the human slaughter on the beaches and fields were sown five weeks earlier, when the supposedly invincible British Royal Navy sent its warships to pound Ottoman forts guarding the strategic Dardanelles strait. What they hadn’t counted on were recently laid underwater mines that sank or grounded three ships in the space of a few hours. With that, the element of surprise was lost, and when the ANZAC troops finally came ashore more than a month later, the Ottoman army was dug in with machine guns at the ready.
Lee Hamilton: Middle East Continues to Dominate U.S. Foreign Policy, but Our Strategy in Region Remains Largely Unclear—Like every U.S. president of the last half-century, I find it nearly impossible to avoid focusing most of my foreign policy attention on the continuingly chaotic and confusing region of the world that is the Middle East. I have now spent five decades working on foreign policy in government, and I’m still struggling to make sense of the Middle East. It’s an extremely turbulent area, where tensions flare up regularly. Its economic growth has been tepid at best, and its overall governance is feeble. The region is currently flooded with refugees. And city after city is fraught with danger, destruction and devastation. Today, it has become even more difficult to sort out the competing players, conflicting visions and challenges in the Middle East. And it’s almost impossible for the world’s leaders to agree on much of anything that might improve the region’s current instability, the culmination of decades of terrible governance, economic stagnation and brutal dictatorial crackdowns on individual rights and freedoms. Trouble exists almost everywhere you turn. While dictators have been recently driven from power in Egypt, Iraq, Libya and Tunisia, what has ultimately followed in those countries has resulted in very little democracy and a whole lot of dysfunction.
Charles Krauthammer: Anointing Iran—In December, President Obama said that he wished to see Iran ultimately become a “very successful regional power.” His wish – a nightmare for the Western-oriented Arab states – is becoming a reality. The strategic reality of the new Middle East is clear to everyone: Iran rising, assisted, astonishingly, by the U.S. The only problem is that Iran today is radical, clerical, and deeply anti-Western. The regime’s ultimate – and openly declared – strategic purpose is to drive the American infidel from the region and either subordinate or annihilate America’s Middle Eastern allies. Can an American president really believe that appeasing Iran will moderate its behavior and ideology, adherence to which is now yielding undreamed of success? Iran went into the nuclear negotiations heavily sanctioned, isolated internationally, hemorrhaging financially – and this was even before the collapse of oil prices. After 17 months of serial American concessions, the Iranian economy is growing again, its forces and proxies are on the march through the Arab Middle East, and it is on the verge of having its nuclear defiance rewarded and legitimized.
Jeff Jacoby: The Danger of the Iran Deal—Virtually everything we know about Iran’s nuclear program was uncovered only after years of stonewalling, concealment, and denial. The construction of a vast uranium enrichment installation near Natanz and a heavy-water reactor in Arak didn’t come to light until an Iranian exile group exposed their existence. With such a track record, it’s logical that Iran’s commitments are so widely regarded as worthless. No piece of paper signed in Switzerland will take the ayatollahs’ eyes off the nuclear prize they have so long pursued. And of what value is any agreement if one of the signatories can’t be trusted not to cheat? But the mullahs don’t lie about what matters to them most: death to America, the extermination of Israel, unrelenting global jihad. They say they are deadly serious. Believe them.
Amb. Freddy Eytan: France’s Position on the Emerging Nuclear Agreement with Iran—France has suffered numerous Iranian-sponsored terror attacks both on its own soil and in Lebanon, and continues to harbor resentment toward Iran. France is convinced that if Iran attains nuclear weapons, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will try in every way to follow suit. In France’s view, the final agreement that is supposed to be signed at the end of June must have “sharp teeth.” Sanctions must be lifted gradually and only after Iran fulfills all the articles of the agreement. IAEA inspectors must be able to visit sites at any time, without restrictions of time or place and without advance warning. All workshops for constructing new centrifuges must be inoperative for more than 20 years.
Louis Rene Beres: After failing to preempt: Israel, Iran and nuclear war—Back in January 2003, the Project Daniel Group had advised Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Iranian nuclearization. In its then still-confidential final report to the premier, titled Israel’s Strategic Future, the Group underscored a significantly core conclusion: Allowing Iran to become a nuclear weapons state can never be construed as an acceptable option. To further support this position legally, as well as strategically, the Group referenced a very basic or “peremptory” national right under international law. This prerogative, we had counseled, is known formally as “anticipatory self-defense.” Our jurisprudential message was loud and clear. International law is never a suicide pact. Under no circumstances can a state ever be expected to become complicit in its own annihilation. Indeed, following the authoritative 1996 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice, a country may even maintain a limited right to use nuclear weapons.
Lawrence J. Haas: Pro & Con: Iran nuke deal makes no sense with ayatollah threatening US, Israel—“Of course, yes, death to America,” Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared just last month, echoing the crowd chants as he marked the Persian new year. Seeking to turn the recent nuclear accord into a final deal, President Obama says he hopes a deal “ushers a new era in U.S.-Iranian relations,” with the economic benefits convincing Iran to focus less on its “war machine.” But as negotiators approach a deal, Iran shows every sign of doubling down on its “death to America” ideology and its “war machine” — destabilizing some neighboring governments and infiltrating others, fighting a proxy war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen, threatening Israel’s existence, sending more weapons to its terrorist clients, hacking more U.S. computer systems and retaining its American hostages. Thus, far from benefiting America, the recent accord will endanger America by empowering one of its most dangerous enemies. Mounting U.S. concessions before and since the accord make clear that, with a final deal, Iran will emerge as a nuclear threshold state, leaving Washington hard pressed to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weaponry in no more than a year.
Jeremy Rosen: Iran Will Get the Bomb, and it Won’t Be the End of the World—I was never an admirer of the Shah of Iran. I was never a fan of monarchies nor of autocracies in general, any more than I am of democracy when there are no institutions of civil society to sustain it. But Persian Jews owed the Pahlavis, father and son, a great deal. For the first time in Persian history since it came under Shia Muslim control, the Jews were allowed the freedom, the equality before the law, and the opportunities that they had been denied for a thousand years. I remember how in the 1950s Britain, Russia, and America interfered and battled for control of Persian affairs. To this day resentment against the arrogance of the Imperial powers for the way they tried to control Iranian oil, lingers. Internally Rezah Shah, the founder of the Pahlavis, was a modernist. He tried very hard to battle the primitive medievalism of the Mullahs and their grip mainly on the rural, less educated classes. He promoted education, liberated women, and helped create a dynamic, industrial country that went a long way towards dragging Iran out of the typical backwardness that we see to this day in Afghanistan and elsewhere in that benighted part of the world.
U.S. House of Representatives: Arms-Control Expert: “A Huge Retreat in U.S. Nonproliferation Policy and a Big Victory for Iran”—Former assistant secretary of state for international security and nonproliferation Stephen Rademaker told the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday: “This deal will represent acceptance by the international community of Iran as a nuclear weapons threshold state….We are accepting that, after ten years or so, Iran will have the ability to produce nuclear weapons in very short order, within a matter of weeks, or perhaps even days.” “Consequently, those who feel intimidated will be sorely tempted to develop nuclear options of their own, potentially giving rise to the very cascade of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East that experts have long predicted would occur if Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not restrained.” “The United States is abandoning the policy pursued for more than twenty years by the Clinton, Bush, and, until now, Obama administrations, to make sure Iran neither had nuclear weapons nor was on the threshold of producing them. We are committing to drop our nuclear-related sanctions, accept the legitimacy of the nuclear program that is affording Iran this capability, and even to support future international transfers of equipment and technology to that program. By any measure, this is a huge retreat in U.S. nonproliferation policy, and a big victory for Iran in its decades-long quest to gain acceptance of its nuclear program.” “Is there a reasonable expectation that the current Iranian regime is likely to be gone in 10 years, or at least have moderated its behavior? All indications are to the contrary. Today Iran is already riding high within the region, notwithstanding two decades of Western sanctions and extremely low oil prices….The economics of this deal suggest to me that we are about to diminish the prospects for transformation in Iran rather than enhance them.”
Dore Gold: Defensible Borders Remain Vital for Israel – and Its Neighbors—West Bank security is also a function of what happens in the surrounding states: Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Will these states continue to be afflicted with jihadi movements seeking to join their counterparts on the West Bank? Will revived military forces in these areas remain focused elsewhere, or will they coalesce to challenge Israel? Jordan itself is a factor in Israeli considerations. Any negotiation over the sensitive Jordan Valley requires close consultation with the Jordanian leadership. Moreover, the Sinai precedent must be uppermost in the minds of Jordanian planners. When it became clear that the outer perimeter of the Gaza Strip was completely open through the Philadelphi Route, hosts of jihadi movements relocated to Egyptian Sinai, creating a direct security threat to Egypt itself. Some of the most lethal al-Qaeda affiliates in Sinai relied on Gaza connections. Ironically, Israeli vulnerability thus undermined the internal security of its largest Arab neighbor. That is a process that Israel cannot allow again in the Jordanian case. For that reason, Israel’s continuing control of the Jordan Valley is not only important for its security, but for regional security more broadly.
Philip Marcelo: Marathon bomber trial casts focus on Boston Muslims—Boston’s Muslim community has been once again thrust into the spotlight as the death penalty trial of convicted marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev nears its conclusion amid rising concerns of terrorist recruitment in America. Newspaper op-eds, advertisements and social media posts have highlighted connections between Boston-area mosques and terrorists and suspected terrorists, despite efforts locally to denounce them. Tsarnaev, who grew up in nearby Cambridge, occasionally prayed at the neighborhood mosque with his now-dead older brother and accomplice, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Boston is also one of three cities — along with Los Angeles and Minneapolis — where the Obama administration is piloting a controversial new program to tackle extremist group recruitment before it takes root. Muslim worshippers expressed frustration this week that the local community continues to be painted with the same broad brush.
Michael Curtis: The Clintons and American National Security— Bob Dylan in 1964 told us the times they are a-changin. He also urged senators, congressmen, to please to heed the call. That call has been proclaimed by the New York Times and the Washington Post that have become part of the vast right-wing conspiracy as a result of their strong stories about the improprieties, scandals, and the greediness of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, whose tax-exempt Clinton Foundation received money from seven foreign governments, as well as from others, while Hillary was serving as secretary of state. Apart from the serious political and moral problems involved, there is also the appearance of a conflict of interests between public interests and private behavior. At the heart of this is the possible violation of the United States Constitution (Article 1, section 9) which states that “No person holding any office of profit or trust… shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.” The various governmental bodies, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the State Department, all ban cash payments from foreign governments to U.S. officials. Among those foreign governments giving donations to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was secretary are Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Algeria. It is also worth noting two things in the same period. The first is that 22 of the 37 corporations nominated for a State Department award, and 6 of the eventual 8 winners, gave donations to the Foundation. The second is that Bill Clinton obtained $48 million in speaker fees during those years.
SnyderTalk Comment: This is a good one for those of you who are interested in the 2016 presidential election.
Saying that the Clintons are “corrupt” is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. They didn’t invent the word, but they gave it new meaning.

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.

Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided. They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make. As they say, forewarned is forearmed. Click here to order the eBook. Click here to order the paperback.
