Obama Visit Code Name: Unbreakable Alliance (Israelis asked to vote for their favorite logo)

The English version of the code name chosen for the operations surrounding the upcoming visit to Israel by U.S. President Barack Obama, scheduled for March 20, is "Unbreakable Alliance." The Hebrew name is "Brit Amim," which means, literally, "an alliance between nations."

According to Maariv/NRG, the names were chosen carefully by the National Public Information Staff, which is wary of upsetting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

The official logo that will accompany President Barack Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel has been selected.

Visitors to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Facebook page had been asked to vote and select one logo out of a possible three, that were designed by graphic artists chosen by the Government Advertising Agency. After approximately 48 hours of voting, the logo that combines the Israeli and U.S. flags was chosen.

From JPost (emphasis mine):

Facebook users chose the official logo for US President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to Israel. The logo features an amalgamation of the US and Israeli flags, with the words "UNBREAKABLE ALLIANCE," and PRESIDENT OBAMA IN ISRAEL 2013 written in both English and Hebrew beneath the image.
The code name for the visit is Unshakeable Alliance (brit amim). Last week officials involved in organizing the visit translated this as Nations United.

Brit amim: an alliance (covenant) of nations... Nations united by covenant (two specifically)

Definition of AMALGAMATE

: to unite in or as if in an amalgam; especially: to merge into a single body

Definition of FLAG

1
: a usually rectangular piece of fabric of distinctive design that is used as a symbol (as of a nation), as a signaling device, or as a decoration

Unbreakable Alliance = Covenant of Peoples (Nations) = Brit amim
is another way of describing:

Ezekiel 37:15-19

15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick [etz], and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick [etz], and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick [etz] of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick [etz]; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick [etz] of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick [etz] of Judah, and make them one stick [etz], and they shall be one in mine hand.

What is particularly interesting about the word (עמים) "amim" (nations) as it relates to the word (עץ) "etz" (used in the above verses as a symbol of merging two nations) is that it

can be divided into the letter ayin (ע) on the right, and the word mayim (מים, water) on the left. That is, the letter meaning well or spring [of water] plus the water itself. The ayin has the value of 70; and mayim 90.

Now ayin which is 70 is also the value of gog umagog (גוג ומגוג), but putting aside Obama and his hordes - he is nothing; the well is everything. - the value of remaining letters (90) is the equivalent to the letter tzadi (צ,ץ).

Therefore, if the "mayim" (waters) portion of the word "amim" is replaced by the letter tzadi, עמים amim becomes עץ etz (meaning tree, wood, stick). The word would retain the numeric value of 160, which is the "image" (צלם, tselem = 160) that is portrayed in Ezekiel 37.

Amim was purposefully chosen (approved by Netanyahu) to be translated as "unbreakable", but literally means peoples or nations. Unbreakable nations = two sticks joined to make one stick. Amim = ets.

The story got legs because "It’s the Israeli government’s first-ever attempt at all-out branding of a visit by a foreign head of state. And also

According to Maariv/NRG, the names were chosen carefully by the National Public Information Staff, which is wary of upsetting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

According to this report, Netanyahu was unhappy with the English translation of the name given to Israel's operation in Gaza, "Pillar of Defense." The Hebrew name of that operation was "Pillar of Smoke" – a reference to the pillar of smoke and fire that led the nation of Israel out of Egypt, in the Biblical account of the Exodus.

The English name is exactly what the Prime Minister wants. With his peculiar desire for a logo and "branding" of the visit, perhaps Mr. Netanyahu knows more than he lets on.

From February 2010:

NETANYAHU SAYS PROPHECIES OF EZEKIEL 37 HAVE BEEN FULFILLED

And also,

'Very, very important commentators' “They tell us all the time how we do not have any friends,” said Netanyahu. “We have friends. The American nation is a great and strong friend of the State of Israel. There are some who do not understand the strength of this connection… It does not stem – as more than a few people wrote during and after the visit – from this or that small segment. Neither does it stem solely from evangelist support. Jews and believing Christians do exist but the support, as very, very important commentators wrote, is much more sweeping, vis-à-vis the American people's solidarity with the State of Israel. Somebody wrote that, 'Israel is an American value,' and I think that there is much truth in this.”

Re: the letter tzadi

Hebrew speakers often pronounce the name of this letter as tsadiq (meaning "righteous person"; see Tzadik), though this use probably originated from a fast recitation of the alphabet (i.e., "tsadi, qoph" -> "tsadiq, qoph").[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsade

Of the Biblical figures in Judaism, Yosef is customarily called the Tzadik. Where the Patriarchs lived supernally as shepherds, the quality of righteousness contrasts most in Joseph's holiness amidst foreign worldliness. In Kabbalah, Joseph embodies the Sephirah of Yesod, the lower descending connection of spirituality to materiality, the social role of the Tzadik in Hasidism.

Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of "Egypt" (house of bondage):
