U.S. President Barak Obama is set to deliver a speech today to the Arab world that will reset America’s relationship with Muslim countries. Reportedly Obama will try to steer the “Arab Spring” – which is reshaping politics in the Middle East – towards democracy by offering new aid packages to Muslim countries, with the hope of stabilizing the Middle East during a time of great change in the region.
In Israel, most people I speak to are less hopeful that the “Arab Spring” will usher in a new era of democracy and stability. They don’t view the revolutions that have taken place in countries like Egypt and Tunisia the same way that many other western countries do.
Israelis are concerned that the new regimes likely to rule in places like Egypt will be more hostile to Israel and the West than the previous regimes. While former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak played a pivotal role in keeping peace with Israel and keeping the Muslim Brotherhood – a terrorist organization – at bay, a new regime in Egypt will likely bolster extremism against Israel and the West.
If countries like Egypt are taken over by hardline Islamists who detest the West it will only lead to more fanaticism and instability. We hope that Barak Obama addresses these threats in his speech to the Arab world, and sets conditions on U.S. support.
What do you think?

11:24 pm
They always bite the hand that feeds them. US leaders think that the $ will buy friendship & progress but it never does. Saudi Arabia has gotten rich with our ingenuity & market & they hate us.
8:24 pm
Scriptures are very clear, if any Nation that does NOT stand and protect Israel will be punished. God help us if we do not stand with Israel, for it is God’s land. Keep strong Israel, you have the best and great General on your side. Yeshua our King!

We have a deceiver in the white house. He is the Obamanation that causes desolation.
3:34 pm
Hey Daniel, I agree. How can a supposed “American president” place his hand on a bible to take the oath of office, and then prefer to quote the Koran in his public speeches? He must be a closet muslim
11:01 am
Muslims are permitted to disavow Islam if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. It’s called Al-taqiyya.No doubt in my mind that Obama is practicing this to destroy America/Israel.
6:16 am
I could not have said it better myself.
7:54 pm
Amen!
11:30 pm
The U.S. has chosen a president who is a muslim which explains his actions against Israel. His growing up background plus his own words describing how beautiful it sounds to hear the call of prayer from the minarets, strongly support his anti-Israel, anti-American views. If he new the bible, he would have learned long ago, one does not fool around with Israel, the Jews being God’s chosen.

Barack Hussein Obama, is the worst enemy that the U.S.A., has at the moment, and beleive me, we have plenty of them and he is by no means, the only one. BUT, he is the one that has done the most in the past four years to destroy everything that the citizenry holds dear that has been hard fought for over the years and this country will never be anywhere near the same as it once was, once he is through with it. He is only one of legions of misguided souls that think they know what is best for me and you and are convinced that they are saving us from ourselves, while satisfying their own stupid, selfish egos. There are enough simple minded people in this country that are led by people of this ilk, to put thim in office sadly enough. Black people think he is their man, because he is black, democrats thought he was their man because he was a democrat and they thought they could they could run roughshod over everybody else,the simpleminded actually beleived his lies when he was campaigning. None of these people even consider God in all of this, and that is where the root of the problem is. There is no telling where all this will end, because not a living soul in it is asking God for guidance. When this happens, the results are always going to be 100% disastrous and this is what is happening, right before our eyes. The only answer to any of it is to get on our knees before Almighty God, and to cry out to him for forgivness and for his help. I promise you, if enough people sincerely call on him, he will hear us. These are the only thoughts I have on this whole mess.

I AGREE, I’M AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND TRUELY BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS WRONG CONCERNING ISRAEL’S LAND. IT BELONGS TO ISRAEL WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS. YOU SEE, ALMIGHTY GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. ABAMA IS MAKING AN INCREDIBLE MISTAKE AMERICA, LET US SUPPORT ISRAEL WITH LOTS OF PRAYER!
2:04 pm
I hope all African Americans know Obama is not hated for his race but for his destruction of our nation & the principles our country was founded on. Now he wants to distance us from Israel our ally.
8:01 pm
Very well said…but this is going to happen,its a big part of end time prophecy…….
3:11 pm
Obama’s goal is to throw us under the bus! God have mercy on us all if he succeeds with his Palestinian favoritism. Contact your congressmen and women and ask them to put a stop to his nonsense!
11:24 am
You said it, Sharon! Obama is throwing Israel under the bus, and cursing America at the same time. As for me? I will serve the Lord and be obedient to His Word. I stand with Israel!
1:34 pm
God forgive our country and it’s leader’s for they know not what they have done. I pray for them and ask for the rest of the world to pray for America and it’s leader’s. We Americans of all faiths should be on our knees praying. We do not need to worry about terrorism anymore. All I ask is please God show mercy on those of us Americans who love you and support your people and their land. Amen
5:03 pm
That was perfectly said Sherry,I agree 100%.God Bless The U.S and Israel!
1:24 am
Amen Sherry, very well said.
12:55 pm
Obama is completely wrong! I believe he actually hates the Jewish People. He is wrong for our country, and he is most certainly for Israel! Collectivism is Anti-God and will destroy the American People, as well as Israel.
2:06 pm
I agree. It seems that Obama not only hates Israel, but also hates America and is trying to destroy us in whatever way he can!!!
12:30 pm
Once again the US tries to buy friends with taxpayers money. When will the politicians realize that it comes back to haunt them, Did we not support Bin Laden, the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi, and Castro ? The US needs to support its friends and let the wolves devour themselves.
I think Obama is entirely wrong and if the people of this country keep allowing this treacherous traitor to continue in his demise of this great nation it will cease to be a great nation.
I have repeated two of the comments above because they also said what needed to be said!
Obama was a snake that got into our countries white house falsely. He made the ones that voted for him that his agenda was honest but he has proven that he was disonest about his religion and the circumstances of his birth. He got all of of the liberals, blacks and poor to back him and he has left them out to dry. The only thing that he has accomplished it to keep the poor to continue to be in slavery to the welfare sysetm. Money should be invested into “real” programs to help the poor to get out of poverty. Drug testing should be required randomly and very often to prevent people on government assistance from taking advantage of the tax payers who had to do without to help other people lazy.
12:35 pm
I should have proof read my comment more. Please excuse the mistakes. But I think I said it all plainly for anyone to understand and read between my mistakes!
11:33 pm
Don’t worry Mary, your message was right on, despite the typing errors. Obama is truly a snake, a descendant from the one who appeared in the Garden of Eden.
12:29 pm
Here is the truth:
Israel should not give up any lands or go back to the 1967 borders. Remember the olympics in Germany when Israel had a great loss by PLO. The return of these lands would not only jepardize Israel security but this would go against the True Will of G_d. Need the Chicago Title Company to review the King James Bible to look at the surveys. Just my thought.

You all are so right Obama is leading our Nation down a path of no return,I doubt he even knows what the Bible says about the support of Israel. We can not stand another four years of Obama.I know I will do everything I can to make sure that does not happen and if enough of us do the same thing he does not have a chance.
God Bless

I FEEL OUR PRESIDENT ISNT DOING WHAT IS RIGHT.. I FEEL OUR PRESIDENT SHOULD READ THE BIBLE AND SEE WHERE IT SAYS TO SUPPORT AND HELP ISRAEL..
