Excellent read from Joel Rosenberg

If you are not familiar with the work of Joel Rosenberg, I would encourage you to become familiar with it. There are few people more educated on the current political climate in Israel and the political climate in the United States toward Israel.

Here is an excerpt from a recent email newsletter of his.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is doing everything he can this week to turn international attention away from Iran's nuclear weapons program and Iran's repeated threats to annihilate the U.S. and Israel by trying to get the world to focus on Israel's alleged nuclear weapons stockpile instead. His objective during his visit to New York City: to persuade the U.N. to force Israel to disclose and dismantle all of her defensive weapons even as Iran completes its own offensive weapons. John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., told the Israeli media that he believes the Obama administration is warming to the Iranian argument. "Egypt and the Obama administration are negotiating right now on an Egyptian proposal for a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East, which certainly sounds good," Bolton told Israeli Army Radio, according to the Jerusalem Post. "Except when you think about it, there is only one country that resolution is targeted at and that is Israel....The president is not happy with Israel's nuclear capabilities. I think he would be delighted if Israel gave up its nuclear weapons. The only unknown answer at this point is exactly how much pressure he would exert on Israel to do just that.

As you can see the pendulum is quickly swinging on U.S. foreign policy to a more anti-Israeli mode. This should be a serious matter of prayer for all Christians in the United States.
