[06.14.2010]
Israelis Overwhelmingly Agree With Bibi
The Obama Administration has invested a great deal in trying to create the impression that Prime Minister Netanyahu's policies do not represent the will of the Israeli public. When Obama insulted Netanyahu in the White House he probably thought that a majority of Israelis would approve of his actions. In one respect, it is understandable that Obama reached this conclusion. After all, his "Jewish Advisers", Emanuel, Axelrod, and J Street continuously tell him that Netanyahu represents an extreme right-wing constituency among Israelis.

Well, this has been a mis-reading of the will of the Jewish people, especially those living in Israel.

A respected poll, conducted after the boarding of the flotilla ship, quantifies overwhelming Israeli support for Netanyahu's policies. On a personal level, Netanyahu's positives rating have climbed to 53% while dissatisfaction with President Obama has soared to 71%. In addition, 63% are dissatisfied with the Obama administration's response to the flotilla.

And if anyone doubts that Israelis are determined to defend their country check out the response to a question about how Israel should react to an aid ship that the Iranians are threatening to sponsor: 84% would stop them at any cost. Just 7% would let them go quietly.

On related issues, like lifting the Gaza blockade and submitting to an international inquiry there is majority sentiment against these and other compromising proposals.

The pollster also noted that he had never seen such intensity among Israeli citizens. These positions are not lightly held.

The poll was conducted by Pechter Middle East Polls.

Our President and his co-horts make it obvious that they will say anything and do anything to help Israel's enemies. But, what they have overlooked is the overwhelming support the Christian community in the U.S gives Israel. We pray constantly, as well as give our financial support. We know that God doesn't judge us on the results, but he does judge us on our effort. Shalom Israel

Dorothy's comments on June 14 are good enough for me and for my own feelings towards the Nation of Israel. I am happy to know and believe that God will call the final shot. So don't put a period where God has a comma.

I know it's like a cliche, but, if Mr. Obama won't bless Israel, and chooses to be against them, " the LORD will be against him" (Obama). So he might want to reconsider his heart felt position.

American and Israeli Jews are finally waking up to the fact that Israel has a Divine right to exist and to defend itself. When terrorism began in Israel well over 10 years ago, hardly anyone cared-- because it was just "little Israel" almost 6,000 miles away.

But now, wise people see that since Israel is a democracy, attacks against Israel are attacks against other democracies and free countries the world over. Wake up Mr. Obama!! Radical Islam is real and has touched our soil and airways too! Call a rat by its name! Defending Israel is defending the US and the free world as well.

Thanks to our Christian friends who speak up for Israel's safety and right to exist!

Obama's "Jewish Advisors" should be ashamed.

I don't know who he is trying to impress. Even the Democrats that I know are running from him. Has anybody ever figured out why this pompus jerk recieved the Nobel peace prize when he had done nothing and is continuing to do nothing. That is unless it comes to bullying people and Nations around. Am Chi Israel!

To refer to Obama as an incompetent fool is no different than referring to Rahm Emanuel as a circumcized weasel.

They both share one thing in common: They will do or say anything to polarize the world against Israel.

i did not vote for obama. now you know why.

I am a Christian who loves israel. I will always support, prayerfully the peace & protection of Israel. Annette

There is an old saying in Hebrew, which slightly amanded goes as such:-
You can take a Muslim out of the desert but you can't take the desert out of a Muslim.
Can anybody think of who I am referring to?

How disgusting that an American president in an effort to appease Mideast terrorists sworn to destroy the state of Israel, would join them in bullying the only democracy where Arabs live as full citizens? Obama has tried the same approach with Iran which virtually publicly snickers at him. Obam's cave-in reaction to Hamas, Fatah, Iran recalls the time so many years ago when the then British ruler, Neville Chamberlain tried to betray the Czechs to appease the Nazis. He was thrown out of office.

Iran got around the arms embrgo that the United Nations imposed on Yugoslavia . Where is Yugoslavia now ?

Israel, we love you and we pray for you. Its true, God is the one with the final word about you and not your enemies.

When the entire world gangs up on Israel, when Israel is the nation most often condemned at the UN, it resembles mob rule. When was the last time that mob rule told the truth or ruled with reason? The more these nations attack Israel, the more determined I am to support Israel for no other nation has sustained so many attacks just to live in peace and tranquility. So to all those who always feast on Israel, damm you for being so evil, spreading lies and being blind to reality. Your actions are encouraging these murderers and assassins to continue with their world wide terrorism. Long live Israel, the only moral nation in the entire Middle East.

I never cease to pray for Jerusalem, the city of the Great King! May all be blessed who remember her. I am in full suport of PM Netanyahu's policies regarding the Gaza and will continue to defend him among my peers. I am saddened by what is happening in my country and pray that the intervention of the God of all the universe will bring about the "change" that we all long to see.

Obama is being consistent with his intended policy as he had indicated during his pre-election campaigning. It is too bad that the American public didn't realize until now what some of the consequences were going to be. After all, when the enemies of Israel fully endorsed Obama's run, what should we really expect from him?
I hope that Israel's leadership does not cave in to any of Obama's demands that favor stretching out Israel's neck even further without any proper form of defense. I trust in Netanyahu's savoir faire but I also see that there may be political expediency affecting some of the decisions.

I hope that Bibi understands how many Americans agree with him and not cave in to any demands that would risk Israel and its security

Among our prayer groups there is no land more beloved and prayed for than Israel. No leader is more beloved and prayed for than Bibi

I agree with many of these comments. I too love Isreal & am heartily sick of all the anti Isreal propaganda & lies throughout the media. Let's hear more truth proclaimed. Congratulations to Mr Anzar.

I support "Bibi" and Israel. I have visited Israel twice and never felt more "safe" and secure than I did in Jerusalem. There were men with weapons guarding this Holy City that belongs to the Jewish people as their capital.

Mr. Obama as a leader will have a lot of explaining to do in the end. It is really too bad that the American people have so deceived by his rhetoric. But no one wants to appear a bigot in opposing his plans. As in th OJ trial the RACE card was played to our destruction. It is fortunate that Israel's fate will not depend on Obama and his cohorts.

Obama THINKS he speaks for the people of America also....funny little man!!! The TRUE lovers of what Israel and America stand for need to continue to speak out and to stay engaged in this war that is raging to try to destroy the very heart that has kept our two nations great!! These radical socialists do NOT speak for us....they need to return to the hole they have crawled out of....

53% is NOT "overwhelming" support! It's barely a majority. And since only Israeli Jews were asked, but not Arab Israelis, who make up about 20% of the population, the REAL support for Netanyahu in Israel is only about 42%. Not very impressive in a time of crisis!
