It's 3 a.m. and the Prime Minister of Israel is Calling

[Israel Insider]

Joe Biden's warning that America's enemies will test the mettle of Barack Obama is a reminder that this election should be about which presidential candidate is best equipped to handle an international crisis. For supporters of Israel this question takes on even greater importance in light of Jesse Jackson's warning that in an Obama administration "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

Israel now is surrounded by tens of thousands of missiles, provided by Iran to Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas. Syria is known to have the largest chemical weapons stockpile in the Middle East, and both Syria and Iran are known to be developing nuclear capabilities. Among the likely scenarios for the next crisis is a massive surprise attack on Israel, possibly involving unconventional weapons. In choosing a President, supporters of Israel need to ask themselves who they most trust to answer the phone at the White House in the middle of the night when the Prime Minister of Israel calls.

To understand Israel's vulnerability, and the vital role the President of the United States plays in securing Israel's existence, one need only look at the 1973 Yom Kippur War. On October 6, 1973, I was 14 years old. I remember waking that morning and turning on my clock radio to hear of a crisis that had developed in the Middle East overnight. On that Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, the armies of Egypt and Syria had launched a surprise attack on Israel, and Israel's survival was in doubt.

I don't trust either McCain or Obama to answer the phone at 3am and know what to do. I wanted Hillary to answer the phone. That women could turn into a Jael type women and kill the King of Sisera at the drop of a hat when she wants to be. I think if America wasn't so sexist we'd be in a lot better shape right now. Irregardless of where America stands, Israel has enough going for it that they can stand alone. And nothing is going to happen to Israel that HaShem doesn't allow anyway. And in my way of thinking, why would HaShem allow the state to even be created and come so far only to see it destroyed in the end? True, Israel could do things to strengthen itself and become even less dependent upon others, but it is still strong enough to stand on its own if they have too. And the President of the US does not have that much power to force his will on the people here without the people here giving it to him entirely and that is not going to happen (though it may seem like it at times) no matter who becomes President. And if Jews in a Jewish state stop to think about things for a minute, they have the Torah, the Talmud, etc. all indicating that things work out well for Israel in the end of things, now don't they. No use having a Jewish state and the ideology of creating such a Jewish state if one is not going to believe in the end results of the teachings behind those ideologies.

I don't think we can expect that imbecilic monster Oilymert, to do anything constructive for the protection of Israel, which he seems to want to give away as gifts, urging his enemies to take what he offers with both hands.

G*d bless Israel and the Jews.
