Upon waking, I heard the voice speak, “Focus your thoughts, G-d is talking to you.” I heard Barack Obama will win the presidency. At the time, I wasn’t paying much attention to politics. I was studying Torah during the day and worked a job at night. I did not have a television to follow the events. The primary was coming to an end with Barak Obama leading against Hillary Clinton. He was the presumed Democratic nominee for 2008.
I sat up in my bed upon hearing the news and listened to the rest of the message. I proceeded to write it all down. Obama will not support Israel. He will make a deal with Iran that will have devastating consequences for Israel and the Middle Eastern countries. There was also information about North Africa migration into Europe and antisemitism emerging, particularly in France.
Immediately, I switched my political affiliation to Independent, intending to vote for the other guy, even though I knew Obama would win. I told my Jewish friends, but they still voted for Obama, probably not believing me. The world was headed toward vast changes that nobody seemed to realize. I wouldn’t either if I weren’t given this information.
Sometime after Obama won, I received another message that John Kerry would be the Secretary of State and the one responsible for the deal to follow. I was puzzled by this message because Hillary Clinton was the current Secretary. John Kerry wasn’t even in the political arena at the time. Then the change happened, Hilary was replaced by John Kerry, who fervently pushed the Iran deal JPCOA, and every Jew shuddered. Netanyahu spoke against the agreement at the UN. It was a bad deal and could result in nuclear weapons for Iran. Protestors filled Times Square against the passing of this bill, but it was apparently a done deal.
Pallets of cash were transported to Iran at the airport in the middle of the night. A sneaky attempt to appease Iran, which got caught on camera. Then came Trump… He tore up the deal and imposed sanctions to crush Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Obama spoke at the UN, admonished Israel, advising it to retreat to the 1967 borders. Afterwards, he retracted the incendiary statement when his base objected. His true colors emerged at the end of his second term, in December 2016, when he instructed the UN delegates from the US to abstain from voting. In a stunning departure from its policy over the last 8 years, the Obama administration abstained from voting on a UN Security Council resolution that demands an immediate halt to all Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, enabling the measure to pass. The text of the resolution calls on distinguishing between the state of Israel and the “occupied” territories since 1967. Israel feared this could lead to boycotts and sanctions. An Israeli minister claimed the US had abandoned Israel, its only ally in the Middle East, and the behavior was not that of a friend.
It was now clear to me and quite a few others that Obama did not support Israel.
Bless Israel and you will be blessed. Curse Israel and….
The letter Samech is one of the 22 Hebrew letters that G-d used to create the world.
Samech means support. Samech lamed = prosperity, blessing
