How much longer?

The question on my mind recently has been, "How much longer will Israel wait to strike Iran?"  With the U.S. unwilling to draw a red line on Iran the time may be coming soon.

Apparently I am not alone in thinking this.  There was recently a report that Britain was moving ships toward the region to prepare to keep the Straits of Hormuz open.

Also according to a report I received today from inside Israel, the Israeli military is on a heightened state of alert and anti-aircraft missiles are being deployed around Jerusalem.

Unfortunately, there seems to be little support coming from the United States for Israel.  The statements coming from the White House and other leaders such as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense become more and more troubling as the days go by.  Part of the report I received from inside Israel today is that request from the Israeli government to President Obama to visit the nation are being met with silence.

It is critical at this time that we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  We need to pray for wisdom for Israeli leaders in this dangerous time and for the safety of the Jewish people.

Also, we Americans need to pray for the leaders of our nation that we will stand beside Israel.

I give in.

I have decided to break down and get a Twitter account.  I will be tweeting from time to time about issues similar to what I post on here.  I'd love to have you all follow me.

I will also probably tweet about sports and things I find funny as well so you will have to deal with that.

I know I have not posted as much recently but I don't want to post just to post.  I want it to have meaning when I do.  If war is to break out between Israel and Iran, you can rest assured I will be blogging regularly.

Anyway, if you wan to follow me on Twitter you can find me under the name:

God bless and thanks for reading.

President Obama will not meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin reached out to the White House ahead of his trip to the U.S. to set up a meeting with President Obama, but his offer was rejected.  The White House stated being out of town campaigning as its reason for declining the offer, but it is still a troubling turn of events none the less.

As Israel stands on the brink of going to war with Iran, possibly before this November's elections, it is now more important than ever for the U.S. to stand beside them and show support.  I think it is very telling of the state of the relationship between the two men that this meeting will not happen.

I have linked the article below, but I want to share this quote from the article.  I think it is a powerful statement by PM Netanyahu about those who will not stand with Israel.

Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel."
