Steven Burg—When President Obama Told Me That Israeli-Palestinian Peace Was Impossible:
As many of us are aware, President Obama stumbled at the beginning of his presidency in regard to his relationship with Israel. His speech in Egypt left out the 3,000-year connection between the Jews and the land of Israel, and he put unbearable pressure on Israel during the first few years of his administration.
It was in this context that a group of Orthodox Jewish representatives were invited to meet with President Obama in 2012, with his reelection campaign on the horizon.
As the managing director of the Orthodox Union at the time, I was invited to participate in this meeting. The conversation covered many topics, and it was a generally pleasant interaction. As many of us voiced our fears about his Israel policy, President Obama raised his hand and said that he understood our concerns. He said that pressuring Israel to make peace was not practical, because he had seen that Prime Minister Abbas was a weak leader who was unable to make the concessions necessary for peace.
We were startled to hear President Obama state the obvious as bluntly as he did. And we left the White House that day with a sense that the president understood that the Israelis had no real partner for peace. Unfortunately, our rosy outlook proved to be short-lived.
After listening to Secretary of State John Kerry’s anti-Israel speech, one question was left unanswered: Who should Israel make peace with? The strongest leaders among the Palestinians seem to be those of Hamas, a terrorist organization that aspires to destroy Israel. Even if partners could be found within the Palestinian Authority, who can ensure that ISIS would not take over?
A speech from the US secretary of state, 99% of which was spent attacking home-building in the West Bank, and 1% acknowledged ongoing Palestinian terrorism was not just unbalanced; it bordered on antisemitic. Even those who feel that settlement construction should be stopped were appalled.

SnyderTalk Comment:
Barack Obama and John Kerry have mismanaged things in the Middle East so badly that the likelihood of peace any time soon is about zero. They have treated Israel as a whipping boy while they have ignored flagrant anti-Semitic acts and terrorism orchestrated by Hamas and Fatah, the two groups with whom the Israeli people are being told they must make peace.
Their most cowardly act took place at the U.N. Their coordinated attack on Israeli “settlements” was a devastating blow because U.N. Security Council resolution 2334 provides ammunition that Israel-haters around the world will use against the tiny Jewish state for decades to come.
Based on resolution 2334, Jewish presence in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, at the Western Wall/Kotel, in the City of David (ancient Jerusalem), and on the Temple Mount (Yahweh’s holy hill) is illegal. That’s ludicrous, but as I said, Obama and Kerry pushed for it and it’s ammunition that will be used against Israel until Yahweh returns.
Thanks to Obama, President Trump will have his hands full. He needs our prayers and our support. If the United States stays on this trajectory, we are in serious trouble with Yahweh. We don’t need mid-course corrections. We need a change of course. That’s what President Trump needs to deliver.
See “European Immigration: Mainly Muslim, Mainly Male, Mainly Young”. So much for the so-called “refugee” issue. Most of them aren’t refugees. They are invaders on government handouts.
I feel sorry for ordinary Europeans, but they elected their leaders and they waited far too long to respond appropriately. As a result, they are in a world of hurt, and it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Also see “Christian Clergy Welcomes Islam in Church, Then Bows to It”. Bottom line: the worst is yet to come.

“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)
