The beginning of a week of annoying meetings with the Obama team began with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The goal of the U.S. is to break Netanyahu's will, give more U.S. tax money to the PA, and stop the Jews from building so it will be easier to kick them out of their land and move the arabs in.
JERUSALEM - JULY 27: U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates (L) laughs with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) during a luncheon July 27, 2009 in Jerusalem, Israel. Gates has arrived in Israel, and U.S. special envoy George Mitchell has arrived in Egypt for talks with President Hosni Mubarek, as the U.S. seeks to regain some impetus in Middle East peace talks. Gates has called on Iran to respond to U.S. offers to open talks concerning its nuclear program, despite Israeli disapproval of any form of diplomatic communication between the nations.
It's kind of funny that one of the articles about this meeting quoted Gates as saying: "US, Israel see eye-to-eye on Iranian nuclear threat." Do they really?
Not sure what to make of Gates, but in a lot of the pictures he looked nervous.
Meanwhile, Monday night in Jerusalem:
Israeli right wing activists hold signs as they protest outside the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not seen, in Jerusalem, Monday, July 27. 2009. U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell on Monday pressed Israel to start "dealing" with its West Bank settlements as a step toward bringing a comprehensive peace to the Middle East. Netanyahu has rejected an absolute construction freeze, saying existing settlements must be allowed to expand to accommodate "natural growth" in their populations.

And the Israeli police are busy having to deal with most likely American college idiots who think Jews should not be allowed to build houses in Jerusalem (notice how Reuters puts it): Israeli police officers detain a Palestinian protester during a demonstration against the renovation of a house by Israelis in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem July 27, 2009. The United States launched a fresh drive on Sunday to restart Middle East peace talks, sending senior officials to the region to deal with issues ranging from Jewish settlements to Iran's nuclear ambitions. U.S. President Barack Obama's demand to freeze Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem has met stiff resistance from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A Jewish settler prays in the new unauthorised outpost of "Inbalim", close to the West Bank city of Ramallah, July 27, 2009. Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank is at the heart of a rift between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama, who has sent an envoy back to the region to try to reach agreement.
When the granny glasses come off, well, you know what that means...
We need these inspirational “day in the life” threads for Netanyahu every day, just as we had for Bush when he was president.
Bibi is our president for the next 3½ years.
Robert Gates is a worm that cannot be trusted. He is probably there to promise Israel some sort of missile defense system if the Jews are willing to sign on the the NPT (non-proliferation treaty) Any Secretary of Defense that will work for 2 different administrations can’t be trusted.
Pray that Bibi will not give in and weaken Israel’ position.
But you're right, he's our president until further notice.
Gates eyes and facial expression tell a lot.
A person not to be trusted.
Excellent pictures!
I’ll have to watch “Lie to me” tonight an get back to you on THAT look. (disturbing)
Probably some Rich kid protesting on rich daddy dime most likely

Apparently they were also yelling “Mitchell Go Home!” If only he would, but he’s planning to meet with Bibi on Tues.
Jos 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Jos 1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
Israel has a title deed for every square inch of land it presently occupies and much, much more, all of which was given to it by the God who created all the earth. God says in many places in holy scripture that the land of Israel and the City of David, i.e., Jerusalem, is His own holy land, and He gave it unconditionally to His servant Abraham and all his progeny for all time to come. If Zer"O" somehow forces Israel to surrender a portion of Jerusalem to Satan's minions, aka Muslims, the US will be destroyed and it's people will be enslaved, count on it. Maybe not this year, maybe not this decade, but it will happen as surely as God miraculously brought His chosen people Israel back into their promised land as a sovereign nation after 25 centuries of servitude to foreigners and 19 centuries of wandering among the nations of the world.
Read my tagline, what is true for a man sowing seed is also true for a nation sowing seed. And we Americans are sowing the seed of our own destruction if we allow our government to play any part in taking God's Holy Land away from the descendants of His servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel WILL occupy it's land, eventually ALL of it's promised land, whether America takes sides with it's enemies or not, God has given His unbreakable Word on that matter. But while Israel has a promise of good things from God, every nation or people who oppress Israel or divide it's land will suffer irreparable destruction at His hands.
