The Real Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Lies Ahead

Israel will not have a fully functioning government for some weeks after the voting takes place on March 17, because, based on past experience, assembling a multiparty coalition to empower a viable government is not likely to be completed until about May 15. Most polls indicate that the next government will be headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud, but there is uncertainty whether he will head a narrow government of the right and religious or a wider coalition including elements of the center-left. A deadlock is also possible, resulting in greater delays before control of the key ministries and the guidelines of the new government are decided.

In Washington, shortly after March 17, President Obama will be making a series of fateful decisions affecting Israel, while the Jewish state is absorbed in sorting out its internal decision-making structure. Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry are likely to press Israel to turn over to the PA hundreds of millions in escrowed clearance revenues, at the very moment that the PA is seeking prosecution of Israel at the ICC and going to the Security Council in an effort to impose Arab demands on Israel.

This article discusses a number of additional factors and timing issues that will provide Obama with opportunities to cause more trouble in the near future.

Todays AIPAC speech will have helped Bibi, he got lots of standing Ovations.

If liberal Jews seem to be backing Bibi, Obama, Kerry, Rice and DiFi and Black activists antics will play well in Israel where 90% of voters HATE Obama.

Gallup poll last week showed Israel is supported by 70% of Americans. After the speech this may hit 80%.

Muslims not so popular.

March 3, 2015: PM Netanyahu’s speech before Congress
March 17, 2015: Israeli elections
March 20, 2015: Solar eclipse (seen in Israel, not U.S.)
April 3, 2015: Lunar eclipse - “blood moon” (seen in U.S., not Israel).

Is anyone thinking that right after the PM returns home, that Israel will hit Iran? He’s basically here to say THIS IS IT, I’m through trying to reason with these unbelievable morons. My gut feeling is that it will be way too dangerous to wait until after the elections.

March 20, Israel will experience a full solar eclipse—as will the entire Middle East. This could be used as a tactical advantage to either side. And it is a sign from God to his Chosen People and His Nation.

As to the United States experiencing another lunar eclipse, it is another sign to us from God Himself as well.

I know the Lord God will protect and defend Israel. May God forgive and protect the United States of America.

I hope the speech translates into more support for Netanyahu in Israel. You just know that Obama and his agents are pulling out all the stope to get him defeated in the Israeli elections.

They know that in disorder/chaos they can get more of what they want pushed through unopposed, rinse and repeat,

And also by ramping up the alinsky style personal attacks against Netanyahu, this vile Obama and his operatives hope they can use that to upset the balance of power, potentially providing ‘accidental’ support to his opponents in the upcoming election,

Pure evil
