Obama Is Anxious To Show The Islamic World,
He Holds the Hoop through which Israel Jumps!
He is taking on Israel to make a point with Arabs,
Which He Thinks Will Aid Him in his Persian Quests,
But will only leave Israel in a state of great Distress,
Until Jesus returns to end war and clean up the Mess,
Which has been going on since Israel became a Nation!

Obama is getting pressure from liberal radicals to put more pressure on Netanyahu and Israel to completely freeze all settlement building, and accept the two-state plan placing Israel and Palestine side by side. Obama and the left are sure this gesture of appeasement to Islamic nations would sufficiently endear him to them, and pave the way to the long sought Middle East Peace. Conservatives are urging Obama not to attempt to hammer Israel into submission through his dictates, believing it will lead the Evil Axis to think they can get even greater gifts of compromise from Israel and America, by demanding them from Obama to obtain a Middle East peace.
U.S. Support – Only with Construction Freeze

(IsraelNN.com) The United States may link its support for Israel on the international stage to a complete construction freeze in Jewish areas of Judea and Samaria.
The plan to force Israel to freeze construction if it wants international backing was reported Sunday in the New York Times, which based its report on testimony from unnamed members of the Obama administration.
The plan would primarily affect support for Israel in the United Nations, where the U.S. has traditionally torpedoed anti-Israel initiatives and proposals placing disproportionate blame on Israel in conflicts with her neighbors.
The U.S. and Israel have disagreed over the subject of Jewish cities in Judea and Samaria under the Obama and Netanyahu administrations. Netanyahu insists that residents of existing communities must be allowed to build within city limits in order to house their growing families and married children, while Obama has insisted on a complete housing freeze, regardless of natural growth.
Obama has demanded that Israel halt construction even in cities such as Ariel, Efrat and Beitar, which most Israelis say should be kept as part of Israel under any future “land for peace” deal with the Palestinian Authority. Previous Israeli administrations have allowed for growth in majority-Jewish areas of Judea and Samaria, known as “settlement blocs,” even when Jews were forbidden to construct new towns.
U.S. officials clarified that Israel will remain “a critical United States ally” even if America decides to cut off support in the UN.
U.S. loan guarantees to Israel will not be affected, they said.
American pressure on Israel regarding Jewish life in Judea and Samaria may be linked to Obama’s upcoming speech in Cairo, analysts say. Obama is scheduled to give a historic address to the Muslim world from Egypt on Thursday.

Obama engineering ‘most serious crisis in 61 years’
By Stan Goodenough
US President Barack Obama appears to be settinng course for a major confrontation with the Israeli people and government.
Reports from both sides of the Atlantic indicate that the new American president plans to show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the people who elected him, just who calls the shots.
Tuesday Ha’aretz disclosed the ominous contents of “a classified telegram received in Jerusalem a few days ago” in which Obama’s National Security Adviser, General James Jones, advised an unnamed European foreign minister that “unlike the Bush administration, Obama will be ‘forceful’ with Israel.”
“The new administration will convince Israel to compromise on the Palestinian question,” Jones wrote. “We will not push Israel under the wheels of a bus, but we will be more forceful toward Israel than we have been under Bush.”
Earlier this week, AIPAC donors were informed that, when Netanyahu visits Washington on May 18, Obama will “firmly and decisively” let the Israeli know that the US’ is determined to see the implementation of the “two-state-solution.”
So warned White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, as reported by Ynetnews.
This so-called solution has the Jewish nation hand over its historical homeland and strategic high ground for the creation of a new state called Palestine.
As a bonus Israel will also receive promises of peace from the Arab states.
After 18 years of being pushed down this two-state road – taking unparalleled risks with its security and getting more war and terror in return – Israel’s new government has called it a dead end.
Nonetheless, Emanuel insisted, the two-state-solution remains “the only solution,” and Israel has arrived at “its moment of truth.”
Furthermore, if Israel wants to see the Iranian nuclear threat effectively confronted, it needs to ensure progress on the Israeli-“Palestinian” front.
This was also the position spelled out by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on April 24:
“For Israel to get the strong support it is looking for vis-a-vis Iran, it can’t stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and peace efforts. They go hand-in-hand,” she said.
In other words, the new America’s message to Israel is: Resist our will, and we’ll allow Tehran to continue its quest for an a
tomic bomb to fire at you.
Similar blackmailing techniques were employed by the US to coerce Israel into attending the 1991 International Middle East Peace Conference in Madrid.
Said the Israeli news service DEBKAfile Sunday, Netanyahu “can expect the full force of a bludgeon to be wielded” against him in the White House.
Leading Republican politician Newt Gingrich added his alarm call in an interview with The Jerusalem Post Monday:
“They are systematically setting up the most decisive confrontation that we’ve ever seen.
“There’s almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world,” he said.
And Ha’aretz Tuesday quoted Robert Satloff, director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, who warned that there was “a chance for the most serious dispute between the US and Israel in the entire 61 years of relations between [Israel and America].”
