She brought forth wind at His First Advent!
She will begin to produce fruit at His Second!
Obama’s bad treatment of Israel has Purpose!
I Think Obama’s Power Rise Is Within God’s Will!
GOD RAISES UP Pharaohs Whose Treatment Of HIS PEOPLE,
Eventually Produces Blessings To His People AFTER Tribulation!
Israel’s current treatment will lead eventually to Great Tribulation,
But it will eventually be followed by Her Greatest Blessing in History,
When a piercing serpent and dragon are no longer on earth’s Surface!

Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together
for good
to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 –For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, AS TROUBLE UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD, and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

[19] Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

[28] And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Isaiah 27:2-6 – In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. [3] I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. [4] Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them,
I would burn them together. [5] Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. [6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

A Series of Excerpts from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert
March 29, 2010
Excerpt 1 – New York Times
Rift Exposes Split in Views on Mideast
Ethan Bronner
The current discord in American-Israeli relations, ostensibly over Jerusalem housing, is really over the role of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as over differing perceptions of the Palestinians’ capacity for self-rule. Two main issues are keeping tensions on the front burner: disagreement on the effects of what happens in Jerusalem on the rest of the Middle East, and the strength of the Palestinian leadership.
The Obama administration considers establishing a Palestinian state central to other regional goals; it also believes that the Palestinians, led by Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayyad, are ready to run a country. The Netanyahu government disagrees on both counts. It thinks the issue of Palestinian statehood has little effect on broader American concerns and is also dubious about the ability of the Palestinians to create an entity that can resist a radical takeover. “To think that what happens here has a major impact on the state of affairs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq is, in my view, quite far from accurate,” said Sallai Meridor, a former Israeli ambassador to Washington.
Many Israeli leaders argue that the timetable the Obama administration posits to begin establishment of a Palestinian state – two years – is illusory because Hamas remains a threat. “One needs to see what has taken place here during the past 17 years,” Moshe Yaalon, a top government minister, said in an interview last week in an Israeli newspaper. “The belief of land for peace has failed. We got land in return for terror in Judea and Samaria and land in return for rockets in Gaza. What, the Americans don’t see this?” (New York Times)
Excerpt 2 – Weekly Standard
The Future of an Illusion
Elliott Abrams
Since the Oslo Accords of 1993, 17 years of efforts under three American presidents and six Israeli prime ministers have taught clear lessons that are being ignored by President Obama, which is why his own particular “peace process” has so greatly harmed real efforts at peace.
Israeli withdrawals do not lead to peace unless law and order can be maintained by responsible security forces.
Israelis learned this the hard way in South Lebanon and Gaza, and it is unquestionably the greatest factor leading them to oppose a similar withdrawal from the West Bank. There has been considerable progress in training Palestinian security forces, but no one believes they can yet maintain order without the presence of the IDF and the Israel Security Agency. Those who say that there can be a peace deal in 24 months are
Palestinians are not at the center of their hearts or they would visit the West Bank and bring plenty of cash with them.
What preoccupies them is survival and Iran. If they take any lesson from the current coldness between the U.S. and Israel, it is that the U.S. is not a reliable ally. If we can ditch Israel, they know we can far more easily ditch them.
The argument that Israel would be a great burden and ruin our place in the Arab world was proffered in 1948 by George Marshall – and rejected by Harry Truman.
It should be as disturbing to Americans that traces of this approach are emerging again in Washington.
We explode, and damage U.S.-Israeli relations, over a tiny construction announcement because it might slow “proximity talks” Mitchell has cooked up.
We use American influence with Israel to try and impede Jewish (never Arab) construction in Israel’s capital city. This set of priorities is perverse and will not lead to peace. The writer is a senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. (Weekly Standard)
Excerpt 3 – UK Telegraph
Obama Ignores Palestinian Rejection of Two-State Proposals
Benny Morris
Today, Israel faces an Israel-hating Islamist coalition of Iran, Hizbullah and Hamas, which may soon have nuclear weapons – but does so without any certainty about American goodwill and protection. Most Israelis see Obama as lacking in that basic commitment to and sympathy for Israel that characterized American presidents since Truman.
Obama’s deliberate coldness has not been lost on the Israeli public. He pettily humiliated Netanyahu during last week’s visit to America and Washington’s overbearing tone will not be quickly forgotten. Many Israelis will not endorse American interference in Israel’s politics or with its vital interests and most Israelis resent Obama’s arm-twisting.
Obama has ignored evidence that the Palestinians are averse to a two-state solution.
How else to explain the majority Palestinian vote in 2006 for Hamas, which advocates Israel’s destruction? Or the rejection by Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas of Clinton’s two-state proposals six years before? Or Abbas’ effective “no” to the peace proposals in 2008 of Ehud Olmert? The writer teaches at Ben-Gurion University.

Excerpt 4 – The Jerusalem Post
Has Obama Declared Diplomatic War on Israel?
Barry Rubin
Has the Obama administration, against U.S. interests, declared diplomatic war on Israel? It has become reasonable to ask whether the Obama White House is running amok, whether it is pushing friction so far out of proportion that it is starting to look like a vendetta based on hostility and ideology. The administration seems to envision Israel paying for everything: supposedly getting the PA to negotiate, doing away with any Islamist desire to commit acts of terrorism or revolt, keeping Iraq quiet, making Afghanistan stable and solving just about every other global problem. At the very moment when it is coddling Syria and losing the battle for anything but the most minimal sanctions on Iran, the administration has chosen to bash Israel.
Since this administration has already unilaterally abrogated two major U.S. promises – the previous president’s recognition that settlement blocs could be absorbed as part of a peace agreement, and the Obama administration’s own pledge to let Israel build in east Jerusalem if it stopped in the West Bank – why should Israel put its faith in some new set of promises?
