Accusing the Jewish state of "genocide," an anti-Israel Palestinian activist once commended by President Obama has predicted the end of Israel, which, he boasted, is "within reach, in our lifetimes."
In a piece earlier this month titled, "Why Israel won't survive," Ali Abunimah, co-founder of Electronic Intifada, a pro-Palestinian online publication, accused Israel of war crimes and gloated, "Now, the other pillar of Israeli power – Western support and complicity – is starting to crack. We must do all we can to push it over."
"It is Israel as a Zionist state, not Palestine or the Palestinian people, that cannot survive this attempted genocide. Its problem is legitimacy, or rather a profound and irreversible lack of it," wrote Abunimah.
Abunimah previously was described as close to Obama and has introduced the politician at pro-Palestinian events. Referring to a time period in the late 1990s, Abunimah said that "Obama used to be very comfortable speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation."
Abunimah was quoted stating Obama was "quite frank that the U.S. needed to be more evenhanded, that it leaned too much toward Israel."
He noted Obama's unusual stance toward Israel, commenting "these were the kind of statements I'd never heard from a U.S. politician who seemed like he was going somewhere, rather than at the end of his career."

Bambi only appears to be a friend to Israel....while he schemes against her.
"[Obama] came with his wife. That's where I had a chance to really talk to him," Abunimah recalled. "It was an intimate setting. He convinced me he was very aware of the issues [and] critical of U.S. bias toward Israel and lack of sensitivity to Arabs. ... He was very supportive of U.S. pressure on Israel.
According to quotes obtained by Gulf News, Abunimah recalled a 2004 meeting in a Chicago neighborhood while Obama was running for his Senate seat. Abunimah quoted Obama telling him "warmly" he was sorry that "I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race."
"I'm hoping when things calm down, I can be more up front," Abunimah reportedly quoted the senator as saying.
God Himself promises, throughout the whole length of the Bible, that Israel will be there FOREVER. Obama and his friends, on the other hand, are temporary.
And of course he won 75% of the Jewish vote.

I wonder what Rahm Emmanuel, an Israeli Jew is thinking right about now?

The Word says that in the latter days they will attack Israel, but she will be miraculously saved.
They will never defeat Israel, because God Himself will intervene to save her (again).
I suspect that Israel would carpet bomb her enemies rather than go down in defeat.
A couple of million enemy casualties might convince the bad guys to make nice. Then maybe not.
The enemies of Israel will accumulate more weapons of mass destruction and not limited to nuclear devices. They will wait until they can be guaranteed of no less than a 75% causality of all of Israel.
A multi prong attack using bio and nuclear devices secreted into the area and detonated would break the back of Israel.
In a worse case scenario there should be plans to move all Israeli citizen out of Israel in a worst case event.
Its genocide of the 21st century, Israel is in the way of people like Obama and will be just a pawn to his political ambitions.
I guess Jimmy Carter is this guy’s favorite ex-prez....those anti-Semites like to hang together
the end of Israel, which, he boasted, is “within reach, in our lifetimes.”
Egypt thought that once too.
I wonder what Rahm Emmanuel, an Israeli Jew is thinking right about now?
Rahm Emmanuel is only thinking about Rahm Emmanuel.

Or higher.I believe that they are about to learn the hard way that actions have consequences. I know that the American idiots who voted for the messiah are, before many moons have passed, are going to learn this. I also have the same confidence that the lesson will go over their heads.
“They will never defeat Israel, because God Himself will intervene to save her (again).”

We serve a winner, not a loser.

If the enemies of Israel, worldwide, believe this is possible "in our lifetimes" then shouldn't we expect essentially no sincere support for mid-east peace (i.e. even dramatically less) from now on?
What will BO do?
“End of Israel ‘within reach’” (i.e. Jews)
get in line behind the egyptians.... uh, from some 4000 years ago.
good luck with that.
Let's hope not, but it doesn't matter. If God be for them, who can be against them? And Allah is NOT God.
