Concerns about Israel

We seem to be heading toward a confrontation.

Israel has always been our strongest Ally in the Middle east. Each former President has supported the little State of Israel and suddenly we find that Israel is told to stop building in Jerusalem, the very Capital of the State of Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected President Obama's demand. The Prime Minister supports a two state entity and is in favor of
Palestine having it's own state. In so doing, he has agreed to forfeit land Israel occupies as the result of the many wars instigated by the Palestinians and has further agreed not to build in those territories. Still President Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Mitchell continue to pressure Israel to go beyond the reasonable.

Recently, our President has awarded millions of our dollars to aid the economy of the Palestinians. Will these dollars get to those who need the aid or will they buy more rockets for Hamas?

As Iran continues to work toward Nuclear weapons, the weak sanctions have not worked. More U.N sanctions will not deter Iran from continuing on the path to develop their nuclear arsenal.

What puzzles me is the Jewish Senators and Congress members seem to be silent on these issues, some have even backed Obama's demands. Within his own cabinet there are Jewish people of influence, including his Chief of Staff who also seem to be going along with this change of attitude.

I for one applaud the resistance of Israels Prime Minister. I for one feel that if Israel is truly threatened by nuclear rockets, Israel will have every right to act by "taking out" these nuclear development sights, just as they have done in Iraq and in Syria.

I would appreciate your thinking and would welcome your thoughts and comments. Just send them to LANCEDOC1@AOL.COM
