Obama Turns 

to Pope to Back Mideast Plan

"U.S. President Barack Obama is turning to the Pope to back his vision of a new Arab state on all of Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem." Arutz Sheva

No better response than this:

“Persia and Edom: the story of Balak and Bilaam, a tale of two highly influential leaders, who, driven by fear and greed, team up against the perceived threat of a rising nation with G-d on their side. 

They devise a sinister plot 

to tap the power of dark forces in order to eliminate the menace. 
The great spin artist, Bilaam – a self proclaimed world organizer and do-gooder, professing great ideals while at the same time available for hire – and his royal friend Balak, make complete clowns of themselves as they refuse to accept the fact that they are up against the more powerful force of holiness and will not take no for an answer. Their arrogance and greed leaves them spiraling downward in humiliation and disgrace.”


"There is no lack of Bilaam-style visionaries or Messiah’s in our own day and age – prophets who cling to irrational dreams and ideas long after they are proven wrong and destructive, even as they find themselves decline into complete disgrace and mockery."

Now guess who ?? said this: 

"Let everyone get a move on there! Run and grab more hilltops, expand the towns. Whatever is taken, will remain in our hands, and whatever is not taken, will go to them.” (nine years ago)

Response to Construction Freeze: 

Aliyah to Judea and Samaria

Veteran Yesha (Judea and Samaria) journalist Haggai Segal says the best response to Netanyahu’s about-face is the tried-and-true growth-spurt method: Time to move to Yesha!

Segal, a founder of Arutz-7’s news department and a regular on the Knesset TV Channel, writes in the Makor Rishon newspaper that Netanyahu’s recent positions might easily be a jumping-off point for those long held by the Israeli left. For instance, Netanyahu said in his speech at Bar Ilan University that “Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, will remain united forever” – but he pointedly did not say “under Israeli sovereignty.”

Nor does Netanyahu’s call for “construction for natural growth” have to mean “new homes,” Segal noted; “it could mean nothing more than a new grocery store, medical clinic, or even a new nursery.”
