Thank you Truth Provider and Isi Liebler for your interesting points. Allow me to strengthen certain points you make yet differ with you on others.
Netanyahu's position regarding a Palestinian State is very wobbly and here President Obama makes a legitimate point.
Our position must be consistent with Torah. As it says Lesheker ain bo raglayim. Falsehood has no legs. Only truth will stand on its own 2 feet!
The Truth is that the Land of Israel is the Biblical Homeland of the Jewish People. As the former Governor of Arkasas Mike Huckabee stated The boundaries of Israel are not given by the United Nations but by Almighty G-d. And those boundaries can be affirmed by man but not reshaped by man.
This affirmation of a Biblical Truth will dispute President Obama's claim that Israel is merely acting upon fear of an existential threat and that the Palestinians have a legitimate claim.
For those of you who did not watch the Dayan-Obama interview, mentioned in the article, here it is:
Obama argues that if somehow Israel's security concern was addressed and eliminated, Israel and the people of Israel, would be convinced to try giving the 2 State Solution a chance to hopefully bring "true" peace as per President Obama's expectations.
We can argue from today till tomorrow that such a solution is unrealistic. However, we can stop the argument cold in it's tracks with a disclaimer that there is no confusion regarding the Status of the Land of Israel.
Let us talk with clarity! The Land of Israel is our Jewish Heritage and birthright and should be settled exclusively by Bnei Yisroel, the descendants of Israel and those who qualify as Ger Toshav. We are referring to those who are descended from the twelve Tribes of Israel and to non Jewish residents who abide by the 7 Noahide laws, accept G-d's Sovereignty and Israel's Sovereignty over the Land of Israel. Israel has obligations to protect and provide for all it's residents whether they are Israelite or Ger Toshav.
By the way, according to Torah, peace in the Land of Israel can only come about by keeping the Commandments in the Land. If we give Judea and Samaria to peaceful Palestinians, will they keep the Commandments of Shemittah not to mention all the Mitzvoth pertaining to the Land such as Teruma,( gifts to the priests) Maaser (tithes to the Levites and the poor etc.), Leket, Shikcha Peah (produce in the field to be left to the poor) in a non Shemittah year? According to Torah, Jews will be driven out of the Land for not keeping Shemittah and commandments pertaining to the Land and the curses will fall upon Israel and by extension to the rest of the world, for Israel not keeping the commandments.
President Obama saw through Netanyahu's political flip flop regarding Israel's recognition of a Palestinian State. Before the elections, Netanyahu was adamant that there will never be a Palestinian State under his watch. After the Elections Netanyahu changed his tune.
What is the true position of Israel regardless of what the Prime Minister says?
According to Torah the true position is that Israel is the Promised Land exclusively to the Nation of Israel as per the Covenant, G-d made with our forefathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob as clearly spelled and delineated in the Torah!
Now I ask...Where are the American Orthodox, Chareidi, Dati Leumi, Chabad, YI, OU, RCA Rabbanim??????WHY AREN'T THEY STANDING UP TO BE COUNTED?????
Aren't they required by Halacha to testify publicly before the Nations of the World as per the first Rashi of Breishis?
Isn't now an auspicious time to stand up strong behind Tzippy Hotoveli, deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, or alternatively will we be passive and allow a void created by our Silence to be filled in by Israel's enemies, the State Department, the Vatican, the EU, the UN, the American Supreme Court, with legitimization and support of a false Palestinian Narrative?
What will our Jewish Leaders say when after 120 years they will be facing the heavenly court who will shine the light of truth to all the souls attending. How deep will be our shame and regret for not having stood up for G-d's Covenant and instead feared for our jobs and/or our positions of leadership and/or feared the wrath of the Nations of the world who lash out in a non trivial manner to those who speak the truth! Will we see the devastation of a nuclear War and the barbarity of Isis as the consequences of Israel's Silence to International condemnation of Israel's alleged war crimes and alleged illegal Occupation?
- Will we be held accountable for our Silence when Jerusalem was not recognized as the official Capitol of Israel according to the American Supreme Court.
- Will we be held accountable for our silence when Jews are refused permission to pray on Har Habayit yet soccer games are allowed and other sometimes false religions are allowed to pray with no interference.
- Will we be held accountable for our silence in the face of International condemnation and our failure to proclaim that Judea and Samaria are the true birthright and inheritance of the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin and Ephraim and Menasheh and Levites rather than Palestinians who are a trumped up people created only in response to Israel's return to Our Land.
What was the end of the Miraglim in the Desert who discouraged the people from entering and conquering the Land of Israel? G-d forbid that any of us end up like them!!!!
Tzipi Hotovely Quotes Rashi In Telling Diplomats That All Of Israel's Land Belongs To Jews May 26, 2015
Hotovely, who is the highest-ranking official at the Israeli Foreign Ministry due to the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu did not appoint a foreign minister, spoke of the need to return to the "basic truth" about who controls the land.
"The international community deals with considerations of justice and morality," she said. "We need to return to the basic truth of our right to this land."
Hotovely ended her address by quoting Rashi, who described how Hashem gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people.
There is finally a government that speaks words of Torah! Isnt this what we have been praying for???
"Rashi says the Torah opens with the story of the creation of the world so that if the nations of the world come and tell you that you are occupiers, you must respond that all of the land belonged to the creator of world and when he wanted to, he took from them and gave to us," she said.
It is not too late!
As the Torah clearly states that if we go with G-d with Kerry (Happenstance), G-d in turn will treat us with Kerry (happenstance)

"If you behave casually (Kerry) with Me " Going Happenstance with Hashem brings curses. (PARSHAT BECHUKOSAI) Ein Od Milvado

Years ago I attended a collegiate gathering one Friday night in the home of Rabbi Yosef Grunblatt z"l, the Rav of the Queens Jewish Center in Forest Hills. Besides being a Rabbi, Rabbi Grunblatt held a PHD in philosophy.
At this gathering, I recall him saying that it was too early to comprehend the enormity of what happened in the Holocaust and to question G-d's ways. Time he said will hopefully give us a better perspective.
Now it is over 30 years later and we are on the cusp of another Holocaust Chas Veshalom G-d forbid. Israel is surrounded by brutal barbarians, Isis and Iran or their proxies, rampant BDS and global antisemitism and condemnation worldwide. Surely, we must find some answers now before it is too late....
Surely Hashem does not want to bring upon us another Holocaust. Therefore we must conclude that it can be prevented.

Subject: AMERICAN JEWISH LEADERS MUST STAND UP AND BE COUNTED
To: faigerayzel@gmail.com
Dear friends,
The latest article by Isi Leibler contains a chronology of all the latest Obama deceitful manipulations and omissions.
Isi Leibler is far from being "right" wing zealot. He is a centrist who conveys the truth. In this case, the very unfortunate truth.
For those of you who did not watch the Dayan-Obama interview, mentioned in the article, here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA-1Nl-5PX0
And here are a few points about the interview:
1) On several occasions Dayan provides Obama with an anti-Israeli or anti-Netanyahu opener, such as the "segregation" of "Palestinians" on busses which never got off the ground and had to do only with security issues not racial.
2) Obama mentions many pre-conditions demanded by Netanyahu for renewing the peace process. In truth, Netanyahu speaks only about two: The "Palestinians" must recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland (dah), and the "Palestinian" state must remain demilitarized (another dah).
3) Obama demands settlements freeze, but has not one single demand from the "Palestinians."
4) Obama says "I never suggested that Israel should compromise her security." Of course he "forgets" his demand that Israel should return to the indefensible 1949 Armistice lines, which Abba Eban named the "Auschwitz Lines."
Like Ilana Dayan, the American Jewish "leaders" that recently met with Obama were afraid to confront, challenge and stand up to him.
Now please read Isi Leibler article.

AMERICAN JEWISH LEADERS FAIL TO RESPOND TO OBAMA'S THREATS
Isi Leibler
It is time to stop making excuses for American Jewish leaders and their failure to respond to US President Barack Obama's latest charm offensive, expressing "admiration" for Jews and "love" of Israel as a mantle to cast moral aspersions against the democratically elected government of Israel.
Obama is clearly determined to undermine the standing of the newly elected Israeli government by embarking on a campaign to promote an utterly fictional narrative of the Arab-Israeli conflict, even in advance of the June 30 deadline of the "negotiations" with Iran.
He orchestrated interviews with journalists Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman, whom he uses regularly to convey his distaste for Israeli policies - and Ilana Dayan of Israel's Channel 2 TV. Considered a tough investigative journalist, Dayan on this occasion acted as though she were launching an Obama fan club.
She failed to pose any challenging questions and instead provided openings for him to benevolently display his loathing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama also gave a major address to a Jewish audience at Washington's Conservative Adas Israel congregation

She failed to pose any challenging questions and instead provided openings for him to benevolently display his loathing for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama also gave a major address to a Jewish audience at Washington's Conservative Adas Israel congregation
One of his acolytes, David Axelrod, recalls Obama - who for many years belonged to a church with an anti-Semitic pastor - describing himself as "the closest thing to a Jew" who has ever served as an American president. At Adas Israel, Obama even described himself as "an honorary member of the tribe" and called on Israelis and Jews to concentrate on "tikkun olam - repairing the world," implying that universal humanistic values are more in keeping with Judaism than nationalism.
He repeatedly stressed the linkage between African- Americans and Jewish Americans and the struggle for civil rights and equality - deviously contrasting this with the manner in which Israelis supposedly treat Palestinians.
Stressing that he considers Israel's security paramount and that he "understands Israeli concerns and fears," he insisted that the Jewish state needed tough love from its friends, assuring his audience that he felt he had a better understanding of Israel's needs than Israelis themselves. He effectively called on American Jews to choose between his flawed evaluation of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the concerns about security and survival shared by the majority of Israelis.
Obama had the chutzpah to warn that the current Israeli government would alienate the people of America and the global community because it was diverging from the noble sentiments expressed in Israel's Declaration of Independence.
Intensifying his vendetta against Netanyahu, he effectively described him as a deceitful liar who could not be trusted. He constantly harped on two statements that Netanyahu had uttered in the heat of the election and had subsequently repeatedly repudiated. However, not even once did he condemn the Palestinian Authority for its daily incitement of hatred, sanctification of mass murderers, or criminalization of Israel at the UN.
He warned that Israel has become obsessed with fear, claiming ludicrously that the US had proposed solutions by which, given goodwill, Israel's security concerns could have been overcome. He urged Israelis to adopt "the politics of hope."
He chided Israel for being obstinate and inflexible, thus preventing the peace process from moving forward, and clearly held Israel responsible for the breakdown of negotiations - conveniently ignoring the fact that it was PA President Mahmoud Abbas who terminated the talks and breached the Oslo Accords by unilaterally seeking recognition at the United Nations and uniting with Hamas. He failed to make mention of Israel's major concessions, including a 10-month settlement freeze to pave the way for negotiations - to which Abbas only responded in the 10th month - and the wretched release of mass murderers who were subsequently feted as heroes and many of whom renewed their terrorist activities.
And to top it off, Obama even made the outrageous observation that Netanyahu "had so many caveats, so many conditions" that the Palestinian officials and others might not see Netanyahu as a reliable negotiating partner.
MELODRAMATICALLY, HE added that the "rights of the Jewish people compel me to think about the rights of a Palestinian child in Ramallah who feels trapped without opportunity," yet omitted any mention of Israel's withdrawal from all of Gaza or the fact that in the main cities of Judea and Samaria, beyond issues directly related to security, Arabs have complete autonomy.
Obama postulates that Israel must be more flexible in order to convince the world that it genuinely favors a Palestinian state. In fact, the vast majority of Israelis would be overjoyed if they could separate themselves from the Palestinians but realize that to do so now could result in self-destruction. For Obama to make such a call under the current circumstances is not merely disingenuous, it is effectively a clear message to the Arabs to intensify their demands and continue their policy of "we take, you give."
The US president is well aware of the mayhem and barbarism that prevails in the region. He knows that were Israel to cede additional territories, they would almost certainly be taken over by Hamas or even the more radical Islamic State group, leading to a breakdown of security and challenging the very existence of the Jewish state. No Israeli government would compromise the country's security in this manner.
But the truly chilling aspect of Obama's interviews was his undisguised threat that, unless Israel accepted his dictates, the US would cease employing its veto at the United Nations Security Council. In other words, a total diplomatic abandonment of Israel. In stating this, he is also openly encouraging the Europeans to intensify their campaigns to pressure and extend sanctions against Israel.
The most disconcerting aspect of these developments is that, aside from the Zionist Organization of America, there has been a total lack of response from the American Jewish leadership. Obama has floated trial balloons to test the American Jewish community's reaction to extending his confrontation with Israel. He clearly anticipates their support and recognition that he knows better than Israelis what is good for them.
Public opinion in the United States and the Republican- dominated Congress is highly favorable and strongly supportive of Israel. However, if Jewish communal leaders remain silent in response to such a biased frontal attack against Israeli policies, based on false premises, they are giving Obama the green light.
The role of a Jewish leadership is to lead and represent the Jewish community, which is committed to the survival and security of the State of Israel. Unfortunately, however, many American Jews have become so acculturated that they have no understanding of Judaism or the crucial relevance of Israel to their Jewish identity.
Moreover, it is unreasonable to expect Congress and friends of Israel to be more supportive of the Jewish state than the Jewish leadership. The silence of Jewish community leaders will also send a message to future presidential candidates that they will not be penalized by the Jewish community if they continue treating Israel in a similarly contemptuous manner.
The Jewish leaders' defense is that public criticism of the president would jeopardize the bipartisan approach of Congress toward Israel. However, if bipartisanship becomes an end in itself, the Jewish community will become paralyzed, lose its political influence and be considered politically impotent.
To maintain a modicum of self-respect and dignity, Jewish leaders must respectfully but forcefully condemn and criticize the propagation of factual errors, bias and threats conveyed by their president. If they fail to act, history will judge them harshly. When in 1944, in one of the most shameful chapters in American Jewish life, Rabbi Stephen Wise failed to confront President Franklin Roosevelt's refusal to come to the aid of European Jews, the Jewish community was weak and faced enormous anti-Semitism. The situation is very different today and there are no grounds for the Jewish community to be less outspoken than other Americans in criticizing their president when they consider he is acting against the best interest of the nation.

A failure by the American Jewish leadership to vigorously speak out against their president after he has effectively undermined and distorted Israel's role could have untold negative consequences, not only for Israel but for American Jewry itself. The time has now come for Jewish leaders to stand up and be counted.
