PLEASE SHARE (Father Gabriel):
I have been calling on the leaders of the west from every possible stage in Israel and the world, for over two years already, to rise up and act against the Islamist terrorist organizations who are committing genocide against Christians and other minorities in Middle East. I met with hundreds members of Parliament, Congress, Senate, media, academia, heads of organizations and opinion leaders from Europe, U.S.A, Canada, South America and Africa.
As someone who grew up in Israel, the phrase “Never Again” has an additional meaning for me in the past few years during which genocide is being committed against the Christians in the Middle East. Just like the world stop by silent then, the world is again standing by silent today. What we will do started too late and it is still not enough.
Therefore, I am asking you to support the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, on his upcoming speech in the US. and to call on the leaders and the citizens of the western world to rise against the rivers of blood that are running in the Middle East and against the atomic threat against peace of the entire world. This is NOT politics.
Netanyahu, be strong and of good courage, Israel is behind you!

Massive "demand for tickets" to Netanyahu speech, Boehner says
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the White House has "attacked" him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Netanyahu's planned address to Congress Tuesday in which he is expected to criticize international negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
"The demand for seats in the House, the demand for tickets, I've never seen anything like it. Everybody wants to be there," Boehner said. "What I do wonder is why the White House feels threatened because the Congress wants to support Israel and wants to hear what a trusted ally has to say. It has been, frankly, remarkable to me, the extent to which, over the last five or six weeks, the White House has attacked the Prime Minister, attacked me, for wanting to hear from one of our closest allies."
In January, Boehner invited Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress to talk about the Iran nuclear negotiations. He did so without consulting the White House, which some argue is a violation of protocol. The White House has said President Obama will not meet with Netanyahu while he is here, citing a precedent that U.S. officials have a longstanding practice of not meeting with foreign leaders so close to their elections. Israel's elections take place on March 17.
Additionally, after Netanyahu declined Senate Democrats' request to meet privately ahead of the speech, prominent congressional Democrats have been vowing to skip his appearance in their chamber. Vice President Joe Biden may also not attend.
The speaker said the strained relationship between Netanyahu and Mr. Obama "is no secret here in this town" but that the White House has "certainly made it worse over the last five or six weeks."
Boehner also defended the invitation, arguing that Congress has every right to invite a foreign leader to speak.
"The threat coming from Iran and the Iranians having a nuclear weapon is a threat to the region. It's a threat to the United States. And it's a threat to the rest of the world. This is a serious issue," he said.
"We're not going to resolve this issue by sticking our heads in the sand," Boehner added. "The prime minister can talk about this threat, I believe, better than anyone. And the United States Congress wants to hear from him. And so do the American people."
In a separate interview on "Face the Nation," Sen. Dianne ("Mrs. Guesser") Feinstein, D-California, said she was "very concerned" about the speech, citing Netanyahu's 2011 address to Congress to discuss a peace plan for the region.
"I went to the speech in 2011. I didn't believe it was helpful then, and I don't believe its going to be helpful now," Feinstein said, though she said that she will attend and listen respectfully, if not "jump up and down" the way she is expecting many of her fellow lawmakers to respond.
She said that she hopes Netanyahu will discuss what would happen if there is no deal or if the U.S. backs out of the agreement but other world powers decide to move forward.
"What happens then to sanctions if we were to put on additional sanctions and the rest of the nations would not abide by them?" she said. "If he throws out the gauntlet again i'd like to know what they intend to do if there is not an agreement."
Boehner argued that the president did not say enough about the Iranians during his State of the Union address in January, and furthermore, he does not believe that the talks will succeed in rolling back Iran's nuclear program.
"From what we've all heard, what they've leaked out about these negotiations, it just doesn't strike me that the deal is going to be good enough," he said.

Mike Huckabee: Israel plays "valuable strategic role" in U.S. safety
Former Arkansas Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, who was recently in Israel, said in a separate interview that he hopes Israel has not become a mere political football.
"There's some Washington politics involved in this. But let's hope and pray it doesn't spill over into a strained relationship with the one reliable ally that we have, basically, between Africa and Asia, and a very important one," he said.
He also rejected the idea that Netanyahu is using the speech to bolster his political profile back home ahead of Israel's elections later this month, citing in part a conversation with the prime minister during his recent visit.
"I feel like I know this country. I know many of the people in government, many of the people on the streets of Israel. And the fact is that they're separating the issue of the election from the existential threat that they face from the possibility of the Iranians having a nuclear weapon," Huckabee said.
"Israel is the canary in the coalmine. Something happens to Israel, and that's not the end of it...we need to recognize the valuable strategic role that Israel plays in our own safety. This isn't just about Israel. This is about the safety of the United States."

Dan straight the Dave thing again. One of the earliest signs that you were a disgusting phony with no guts nor decency. You couldn't even denounce a terrorist supporter, though you try and hold yourself up as anti terrorist.
Your go to move again, huh Fixer Boy? Anti Semite, Jew hating. face)(*^%All you got. You sink further and further into the abyss. You are nothing but a despicable, gutless, joke tout, the lowest form of humanity there is. You share professions with Wayne Root, Mike Warren, Brandon Lang, Stu Feiner, Dr Ron Bash, Jeff Allen, etc. Must be proud. I need to shower after just mentioning their names. Spare me the "I'm a winning, honest Tout". You're in the business of selling picks to dupes, you're part of the slime. Go Fuck Yourself.
"Here's who gets into the picks for sale business. First, you have the scumbags. These are the guys who don't have a clue about handicapping but know how to promote and reel in suckers. They charge a high rate, and that's not the only price you'll pay. Second, you have the successful sports bettor who decides to market his plays. This guy wins, but only until he decides to become a pay service. The reason is that in the process of setting up his business, promoting, competing for squares to call him by telling them he'll win 57 out of 100 games, while others promise far better and unattainable results, updating his comp lines, 900 lines, internet site, customer service lines, etc, etc, etc.........well, to make a long story short, it is impossible to both handicap and run a service without your % slipping. Just not enough hours in the day to both do your work, and do your work!"
The bloodsucker who wrote the above actually has the nerve to call someone else a phony anything, let alone a phony Jew. He has no decency or shame. He admits the slimy, disgusting nature of his business(sad truth), and yet he's willingly a part of that business, selling picks to suckers. Go fuck yourself, Tout, when you're done sucking Wayne Root cock.
[h=1]Netanyahu’s Visit Bringing Uninvited Problems for Jewish Democrats[/h] By JONATHAN WEISMANMARCH 1, 2015
WASHINGTON — Speaker John A. Boehner’s unilateral invitation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to address Congress on Tuesday has turned a foreign policy issue that has had near unanimous support in both parties — Israel — into a bruising political showdown.
And nowhere has that transformation been more wrenching than among Jewish members of Congress — all but one of them Democratic — who seem to reflect the dismay of the nation’s larger Jewish community over the House speaker’s action.
“I went out to play golf — I never play golf — with three of my Jewish buddies,” recalled Representative Alan Lowenthal, a Jewish Democrat from Southern California who only this weekend decided he will attend Mr. Netanyahu’s address to a joint meeting of Congress. “One said, ‘You must go,’ one said, ‘You definitely should not go,’ and one said, ‘I’m in the middle.’ That literally reflects the American Jewish community.”
Through foreign policy trials as difficult as the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, Israeli settlement policies, Arab terrorism, and the repeated failures of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Jews in Congress — and to a large extent, Jews in the United States — have spoken in a near-monolithic voice, always in support of the government of Israel.
But the Boehner-Netanyahu alliance has done something that larger foreign policy crises have not: It has led to the open distinction between support for the State of Israel and allegiance to politicians who lead it.
“It’s a tipping-point moment,” said Rabbi John Rosove, an outspoken liberal and head of Temple Israel of Hollywood. “It’s no longer the Israeli government, right or wrong. The highest form of patriotism and loyalty is to criticize from a place of love.”
Representative John Yarmuth, a Jewish Democrat from Kentucky, foresees the prime minister castigating the foreign policy of President Obama, playing to a raucous, supportive audience that he will not be part of.
Representative Brad Sherman, a Jewish Democrat from California, anticipates the same divisive scene, but he, like most congressional Democrats, will attend.
Mr. Lowenthal warned Sunday that if Mr. Netanyahu “crosses the line” and criticizes the president directly, he will not hesitate to speak out after the speech.
So far, 30 Democrats — four senators and 26 representatives — have said they will not attend the speech. Nearly half are African-Americans, who say they feel deeply that Mr. Netanyahu is disrespecting the president by challenging his foreign policy. But a half-dozen of those Democrats planning to stay away are Jewish, and represent 21 percent of Congress’s Jewish members.
“I stand with Israel, always have stood with Israel, and always will, but this speech is not about Israel,” said Representative Steve Cohen, Democrat of Tennessee, who accused the prime minister of politicking in Congress with an eye on Israel’s March 17 election. “Netanyahu is not Israel just like George W. Bush wasn’t America.”
He will not be attending.
Mr. Boehner — seemingly ready to try to separate Jewish voters from the Democratic Party they have long favored — remains resolute about his decision. He is also open about his hope that Mr. Netanyahu’s address will undermine the Obama administration’s efforts to negotiate an accord with Iran that halts that nation’s nuclear program.
“What I do wonder is why the White House feels threatened because the Congress wants to support Israel and wants to hear what a trusted ally has to say,” Mr. Boehner said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “And it’s been frankly remarkable to me the extent to which, over the last five or six weeks, the White House has attacked the prime minister.”
Congress’s lone Jewish Republican, freshman Representative Lee Zeldin of New York, sounded what was once a bipartisan sentiment.
“Regardless of whether you are Jewish or not Jewish, Republican or Democrat, if you greatly value having the strongest relationship possible with Israel, welcoming the Israeli prime minister to America with open arms should be something members fully embrace,” he said. “It is an opportunity to let not just the Israeli prime minister know, but the Israeli people know, that America is united in strengthening our relationship with Israel.”
To some Jews in Congress, the rupture has been a long time coming. Mr. Netanyahu’s leaning toward Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election signaled his willingness to align his conservative Likud Party with the Republican Party, yet his government’s support in Congress remained overwhelming and bipartisan.
But to many Democrats, this time Mr. Netanyahu appears to have gone out of his way to alienate them. On Feb. 13, Representative Nita M. Lowey of New York, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, spoke with the Israeli leader, suggesting that he drop his public speech and instead meet in a closed session with both parties to discuss his misgivings about the Obama administration’s negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program. He told her that he would consider it.
“I haven’t heard from him since,” she said.
Last week, two Senate Democrats, Richard J. Durbin of Illinois and Dianne Feinstein of California, suggested another private meeting. Again, Mr. Netanyahu declined.
“Israel is our ally. We support the State of Israel, but these kinds of actions, coming here to speak against the president?” said Representative Jan Schakowsky, Democrat of Illinois, who will not attend Tuesday’s speech. “There are members who feel they have to choose between John Boehner and Bibi Netanyahu on one hand and President Barack Obama. That is an unfair place to be put in.”
Ms. Feinstein, who is Jewish and one of her party’s leading voices on national security, said Sunday: “There’s a lot of broken crockery. Now the question is how much broken crockery. The country relationship is sure to stand. The people relationship, that’s a different story.”
Still, most Jewish Democrats are quicker to blame the Republican speaker for the controversy than the conservative prime minister.
“Call me naïve, but I think Netanyahu was railroaded here,” Representative Steve Israel, Democrat of New York, said.
Beyond Capitol Hill, the larger Jewish community is equally vexed. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or Aipac, the pro-Israel lobby that opened its annual policy conference here on Sunday, has pressed Democrats — especially Jewish Democrats — hard to attend, openly worried about the partisanship entering American-Israeli relations.
“As I’m sure everyone knows, the invitation for this speech has been surrounded in controversy which has taken a partisan tone,” an Aipac official wrote in an email urging members to pressure Democrats to attend. “With the hyped news headlines, many of our friends on the Democratic side of the aisle are under significant pressure not to attend the speech from groups who are primarily partisan in nature and see the invitation as an offense to President Obama.”
J Street, which bills itself as the “pro-Israel, pro-peace” lobby, has taken out full-page newspaper advertisements demanding that the speech be postponed.
The Orthodox Union, an umbrella organization for Orthodox Jewry, released a statement urging “all members of Congress and Americans who care deeply about American and global security to respectfully and carefully listen to the unique perspective of the elected leader of our key ally — Israel.”
Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the speech should be canceled.
“For some time, there has been a greater diversity of viewpoints on Israel issues within Israel than within the American Jewish community,” said Representative Adam B. Schiff, a Jewish Democrat from California who will attend. “You’re now starting to see more diversity of opinion in the pro-Israel community here.”
To Mr. Israel, the New York Democrat, that is not a positive development. Jewish philanthropic organizations can channel donations from American Jews to nongovernmental organizations in Israel, but United States aid will always be predominantly government to government. Mr. Israel said the last thing Israel — or the Democratic Party — needed was political tension over American aid to Israel.
“When you separate Israel from the policies of its government, it complicates the matter for Congress,” Mr. Israel said

Change the subject much Loser? Don't try to pin all of your shortcomings on everyone else. There are stock selling scammers in boiler roms as well. And then there are a rare few financial advisers who perform well for their clients. You wish you could simply win, let alone win enough for people to hear about you and seek you out for help. My head is held high in every facet of my life. I have never harmed a living soul. People who find me are glad they did. You on the other hand are an amoral scumbag who is always alone.

The Book of Esther, Chapter 4, Verses 13-14
"Do not imagine to yourself that you will escape in the king's house from among all the Jews.
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and rescue will arise for the Jews from elsewhere, and you and your father's household will perish; and who knows whether at a time like this you will attain the kingdom?"
