Israel is once again being severely threatened by her
enemies while the Obama administration seeks to marginalize
the relationship between our countries.
Right now, I am in Israel and will soon have the
opportunity to personally discuss your “Stand with
Israel!” statement – along with tens of thousands of
other “pro-Israel” American citizens – with key Israeli
officials!
But our work is far from done. We must change America’s
unacceptable policy and posturing toward Israel!
Please take a moment to read my message below and alert
all of your pro-Israel friends to sign our powerful
“Stand with Israel!” statement of support, which will
be delivered along with yours to key elected officials
in America.
Simply forward the message below to your friends.
Thanks, and God bless you (as He promises He will!) for your
bold stand with His people.

Israel is once again facing heightened threats by
foreign enemies while the Obama Administration’s
policy toward our ally has taken a marked turn for
the worse, severely threatening our nations’ vital
relationship. I am in Israel for an important
visit that will include meetings with several
high-ranking Israeli officials. I will be telling
these leaders that President Obama’s policies DO
NOT represent the view of the majority of Americans!
Please read my vital message below – Mat.
I have just landed in Israel. One of the first things we
noticed upon arrival is that tension seems to be extremely
high here based on renewed pressure from the UN and other
international organizations to enter into a “land for peace”
deal with the Palestinian Authority.
It is obvious that the people of Israel are genuinely
confused by the dramatic change in United States
foreign policy under the Obama Administration. And
the pressure from long-standing enemies in the
region is sharply rising.
Today, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad assailed Israel
, calling “Jewish Zionism” one of history’s worst ills. He
told the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a security
group regarded as a NATO rival, that 60 plus years of
Zionism has brought only humiliation and destruction to
the Palestinians and the region at large.
His virulent words are made more ominous by Iran’s
growing nuclear threat and the fact that Israel could
be provoked into launching a pre-emptive strike against
Iran if the threat rises much further.
++Has Barack Obama become a Palestinian spokesperson?
We’ve only been here a few hours, but we are already aware
that a large number of Israeli leaders feel that America’s
attitude toward Israel, which has dramatically changed under
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, is seriously
undermining the relationship between our nations.
Some have embraced the idea that President Obama has
actually become an unofficial “spokesperson” for the
Palestinian point of view and has moved the American
government into a nearly adversarial relationship with
the nation of Israel.
Meanwhile, according to the Jerusalem Post, “Ambassador Yossi
Ben Aharon, who served as the chief of staff and close
confident of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, is warning of
what he calls an impending ‘explosion’ for Israel in September,
when the United Nations General Assembly is expected to
recognize a Palestinian state within Israel’s 1967 borders,”
which is the proposed starting point for peace under Obama’s
plan.
What really disturbs me is that President Obama should
know without a doubt that previous “land for peace”
deals between Israel and Palestine, in which Israel
transferred land to the Palestinians in exchange for
peace, have been abysmal failures and increased – not
decreased – violence in the region.
++I am here delivering a message from tens of thousands of
Americans who “Stand with Israel”!
Since our President seems to be doing everything he can to
undermine our nation’s bond with Israel, it is vitally
important that American citizens let our friends in Israel
know that we are still committed to our friendship!
Can you imagine a better opportunity than now?
I will be expressing our solidarity directly with several key
Israeli officials with whom we will be meeting this week with
a message from over 50,000 United States citizens saying,
“We Stand with Israel!”
But these signed Statements of Support represent just the
early response to this opportunity to encourage and strengthen
our friends in Israel – by the time our mission here is
complete next week, we expect that well over 100,000 Americans
will have taken this bold stand with us!
Teresa, I am thrilled to be delivering this message
to these Israeli leaders! But our work is far from complete.
I am calling upon all of Liberty Counsel’s friends and
supporters to boldly rise up in support of Israel! We need
to be as plain and direct as we can to reject policies that
force Israel into accepting any “land for peace” proposals.
That’s why we are also sending a special, pointed
letter to President Obama, Secretary of State Hilary
Clinton, Speaker of the House John Boehner, and Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid.
We must forthrightly tell our elected officials that Americans
stand in support of Israel – and pray the Lord will intervene
before the Obama Administration does any more damage to our
relationship with Israel!

++Our gift to you for standing with Israel.
When you join many tens of thousands of concerned Americans
in signing this powerful letter, we will send you our custom-
designed “Stand with Israel!” vinyl sticker that you can
proudly display.
This colorful 4 x 6 inch oval delivers an unmistakable
message and will not fade or come off, even after many car
washes and prolonged exposure to the elements. It’s our gift
to you – a small token of our appreciation for the important
stand you are taking.

Israel by going here:

When the United Nations votes to accept Palestinian statehood
in September, we unfortunately expect President Obama will
do what is politically expedient for him, his public
perception, and his relations with Muslim groups and
nations – and not what is in the best interest of Israel,
or even, sadly, the United States of America.
We soundly reject the Obama Administration’s policy
shift!
I very much want to include your name in these letters
to key American leaders letting them know that
President Obama DOES NOT represent the views of the
majority of Americans! The fact is, a vast number
of us don’t agree with his call for Israel to retreat.
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to
make YOUR voice heard on this crucial issue! I believe we
will achieve our goal of securing well over 100,000
Statements of Support from concerned Americans, hopefully
including you!
Please be heard by signing our “Stand with Israel!” letter.

I also ask for your fervent prayers for the Lord’s covering
over our meetings with the Israeli leadership over the next
several days. I will continue to update you on our progress.
God bless you for personally standing with His people in Israel!
