Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addresses the 2009 General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America in Washington today. President Obama was scheduled to give his first public address to the Jewish community at the event tomorrow but canceled his appearance to attend a memorial service at Fort Hood in Texas. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel will represent the administration instead.

Binyamin Netanyahu

This man had the opportunity to choose between right and wrong. Considering the dedication, love, faithfulness and actions that he has and has had to face and the opposition considering today's political fields, he has no choice in the decisions that he has made. He realizes eventually that his position and beliefs will make him the ultimate scape goat but his impact is what will change this world, just a slight tilt of the axis that will intensify into a ripple effect of such magnitude that our modern world could never conceive the eventual outcome. He has taken onto his shoulders opposition to a holy war against the Jewish people of our world, a people that have been condemned repeatedly throughout history for their belief in something greater than themselves. In having to try to meet the standards of something beyond human nature.

No!

This is no good for America.

The people who pushed are get rich!

We Americans need to kill this bill!
