"Lord - Protect my family and me, Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."Wow! What a nice prayer, and how well orchestrated it was printed in the Israeli press -- and then how quickly it disseminated across the globe! What's fascinating is what's BEING IGNORED by the press!
The prayer was leaked to the press BEFORE Obama placed it within the wall! Under threat of a lawsuit, the newspaper that published the prayer -- Ma'ariv -- admitted that it collaborated with the Obama campaign to publish the prayer!
Here's how the story went down. An Israeli lawyer named, Shahar Alon petitioned the Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz on Sunday to order police to open a criminal investigation against Ma'ariv.
Alon claimed the paper violated several clauses of the 1967 Preservation of Holy Sites Law as well as violating rights based on Basic Law - Respect for Man and his Freedom. Furthermore, Alon called for a consumer boycott of the newspaper until it published an apology to Obama.
At first, Ma'ariv tried defending its actions by arguing that since Obama is not a Jew, publishing his note was not an infringement of his privacy.
Then entered Western Wall's Chief Rabbi, Shmuel Rabinovich called Ma'ariv's actions 'sacrilegious'. He said,
"Notes which are placed in the Western Wall are between the person and his Maker; Heaven forbid that one should read them or use them in any way. The custom of placing notes between the stones of the Western Wall is ancient and is used as a means of expression by a person praying to his Creator. This sacrilegious action deserves sharp condemnation and represents a desecration of the holy site."Under a real threat of a boycott with Rabbi Rabinovich's remarks being published - it was only then that Ma'ariv admitted it had coordinated its publication with the Obama campaign -- even before Obama had put it on the wall!
Ha'aretz published today, "Obama's note was published in Maariv and other international publications following his authorization to make the content of the note public. Obama submitted a copy of the note to media outlets when he left his hotel in Jerusalem."
Amazing - it's been substantiated by other newspapers that the Obama campaign released the prayer to the media!
I believe this may be the first presidential campaign press release addressed to God instead of the voters!
Until next time...
The ONLY question IS:...
WHo is Borat Obamas LORD??.....
