USA's Failure in Reading Iran

A reminder of the USA failure in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba
which Ayatollah Khamenei just brought up with Palestinian terrorists.  .  
Nadene Goldfoot                                                                           

More than a year ago on March 2, 2015, the Iranian nuclear deal was ready to be announced at the end of March.   Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said back in 2013 that they would never give into economic sanctions .  The USA would  never force Iran into unwelcome concessions over nuclear development.   Khamenei wants to " be able to produce nuclear energy for power and medical purposes, and wants an end to sanctions that keep it from shipping oil or gaining access to global financial markets.  Khamenei, has said that Iran would want to build peaceful nuclear enrichment capability when a negotiated agreement expired."  Within the next minute, he is cursing Israel and threatening their end.  Can anyone believe him?  
                                                                          
John Kerry had said, "“We want to recognize the main goal here is to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. And on that, Israel and the United States agree.”  The problem is that Israel and the USA do not agree as to how to prevent this from happening.  
                                                 
John Kerry figured that with time, Iran will turn into a state
like other states and
come to be compliant about  nuclear power.  On the contrary,
they break laws and have become more aggressive with every
concession the USA makes. 

The deadline for finalizing an outline of an agreement was the end of March, and a final deal was to be reached by June. Under an agreement, Iran’s ability to produce nuclear fuel would probably be strictly limited for at least 10 years, and restrictions would be eased gradually. Iran would ship some nuclear equipment to Russia. After the deal ends, Iran would still be subject to inspections and unable to produce bomb-grade fuel. It remains unclear whether Iran would have to answer all questions from inspectors about its suspected work on bomb designs.  Now isn't this the most important part of all and no one was sure about it on our side?   Everyone knows that inspections are imperfect, as the U.S. has learned from Iraq to North Korea.
May 2, Monday, Khamenei threatened the US Navy's 5th Fleet sitting in Bahrain
waters.  He lashed out on TV at the USA's protecting the free flow of commerce and
shipping in the Persian gulf which he said was Iran's sphere.
"What is the US Navy doing here?  Go back to the Bay of Pigs.  Go and hold exercises there.
What are you doing in the Persian Gulf?  It is OUR home.

This is a very serious statement since he was pointing out the USA weakness from their failed
operation of the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. Muslim do not eat any meat from a pig, just like the Jews and
consider it also as an unclean animal.  He's being more fisty against the USA with each concession
that the USA makes with Iran.  What's the psychology that causes this?  One can't lose the upper hand
with people like the Ayatollah.  You can't grovel or give in an inch.  
                                                                                           
2003 and Islamic Jihad Palestinians burning 3 flags in demonstration,
have much in common with Khamenei.

 During this past weekend of May Day, The Ayatollah spoke to the Palestinian ISLAMIC JIHAD'S DELEGATION,  Palestinian terrorists that came to him   to find ways to strengthen their intifada in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem. The Ayatollah  told them that the main enemy of Iran was America, not Israel.  His hostility is evident towards America,  but comes after the Obama Administration's announcement that the USA was subsidizing Iran's nuclear program by buying tons of HEAVY WATER from them.  They are also granting Iran the ability to receive US dollars.  Now that the Ayatollah is flush with cash, courtesy of Barack Obama,  he will find a few ways to strengthen the intifada of the Palestinians who turn into terrorists with the mere mention of it.  We also notice that Iran is far more aggressive now and gets more so with every concession Obama makes.  
                                                                           
Terrorists here keep their faces covered so can't be identified.
Israel has 1.7 million Arab citizens along with their 6 million Jews.
Israel is the only Jewish state in the world.  There are Muslim states that do not
allow Jews to enter.  In all, there are already 48 Muslim majority states without a Palestine created.  The UN faults Israel with every breath they take yet say nothing
about how Muslim countries treat them!  

 " Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), is a Palestinian Islamist Paramilitary organization formed in 1981 whose objective is the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of a sovereign, Islamic Palestinian state." Islamic Jihad seems to be carried over to what is now called ISIS who have the same goals but for all the states of the Middle East.  They've been successful in Iraq and Syria to a degree.  
Another Jihad group, ISIS, and how they behead fellow Muslims
on the wrong side of the politics.  

The delegation "was  headed by the organization’s Secretary- General Ramadan Abdullah, who will visit Iran for a few days, according to a statement issued by the terrorist organization.
The delegation will meet Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani and Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Shamkhani  Islamic Jihad announced that “the delegation visiting Tehran has met with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, as well as other senior Iranian officials.”.

Is Hillary a True Friend of Israel?

Nadene Goldfoot                                                 
Huma Abedin, who works for Hillary Clinton in White House. and Hillary Clinton.
Huma was U.S. Secretary of State Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff at the State Department
Huma's parents are avid Muslim Brotherhood members.  She's like
a daughter to Hillary. At age 2, Huma's Indian father and Pakistani mother moved to 
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she was raised and lived until returning to the United States for college. On June 13, 2012, five members of Congress alleged that Abedin had "immediate family connections to foreign extremist organizations" which they said were "potentially disqualifying conditions for obtaining a security clearance" and questioned why Abedin had not been "disqualified for a security clearance.  With Obama as president and Hillary as a friend, "the claims in the letter were generally rejected, and were labeled by some as conspiracy theories."  
Oh Hillary!  I just finished printing out her 8 page speech to AIPAC that she gave on March 21st and thought, she knows all of Israel's problems.
                                                                             
 She's so aware and has been very involved in our dire situations, but she was on the other side!  She had joined Obama's team and did his bidding, which was so different from what she has written as her speech.  She quoted Elie Wiesel at the end of her speech when he was given the Nobel Peace Prize and said, "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.  Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."  Did the Obama administration heed his words in their dealings with Syria?  Didn't  the Obama Administration keep quiet in chiding the Palestinians about attacking Israel, or didn't they instead blame Israel but never the Palestinians?  Yes, they did speak out at the UN against the countries coming down on Israel, but I haven't heard of anything they've done to let Hamas or even Fatah know that they can't keep attacking Israel and still find any favor with the USA.
                                                                         
She admitted right away that "we may not have always agreed on every detail, " and indeed, the details have been quite large, as a matter of fact, like Iran, which she brings up later.  When Netanyahu came to speak to Congress on Tuesday, March 3, 2015,  about  why he was  against President Obama’s plan for a possible nuclear deal with Iran,  who attended?  Almost none of the Democrats. Here are the Senators who gave notice early that they wouldn't attend.  Notice that Bernie Sanders' name is in this list.  All are Democrats plus Bernie, the Independent.
  1. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.)
  2. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
  3. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.)
  4. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii)
  5. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)
  6. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.)
  7. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
  8. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
    In total, 48 members of the House of Representatives and eight Senators skipped the Israeli leader's speech. Did Hillary?  This subject was a matter of LIFE and DEATH for Israel.  She admits very well that she knows about all of Iran's deadly accomplishments towards this Jewish country.   It takes a lot of chutzpa to think that AIPAC members are going to push all the negativity aside to vote for her after playing ball with the opposing team.                                              

 "Independent Senator Bernie Sanders (Vt.) joined 56 Democratic lawmakers in the boycott, which was seen by many as snub to the powerful Jewish-American lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  Also not in attendance were President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. The president said he could not be present because of the speech's proximity to the Israeli election, while Biden had a scheduling conflict. That was the election Obama had been interfering with.  

She spoke about the huge movement of BDS, boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel used in trying to manipulate Israel to do the movement's bidding.  She says many young people in the audience are on the front lines of the battle to oppose it, and in that she is right.  She agreed that it is maligning, isolating and undermining Israel and the Jewish people.  Does she realize that the most popular Protestant churches are in the front line of leading this international movement?  Did she offer any concrete help in combatting it?  She said she has been sounding the alarm and had written a letter last year to Jewish organizations that we have to unite to fight against it.  They've been trying to do that, Hillary.  It would be nice if you wrote a letter to the churches promoting it.   She  told Jewish college students at the meeting to stay strong and keep speaking out.  She told them not to let anyone silence you, bully you or try to shut down debate.  That's why they are AIPAC members, Hillary.  They already have heard that from the choir.

At times, she seemed to be lecturing to the choir.  Instead, her words should have been aimed at the Palestinians.  Why tell AIPAC members, and these attending this meeting are the very active ones, to not harm others, etc.  She said to AIPAC members, who spend their free time trying to educate others about what is happening to Israel, that "all of us must condemn actions that set back the cause of peace." That's what AIPAC knows is happening to Israelis.  They know about what their enemies are doing.  She said that "terrorism should never  be encouraged or celebrated."  Really!  Why tell AIPAC members this?  This is what her friend, Arafat stood for and encouraged.  This is what Israelis are fighting against!  She said that "children should not be taught to hate in schools as that poisons the future."   Hillary is showing AIPAC that she is aware of what Israel is up against, something that this audience knows about full well, but they would like to know how she sees the USA's part in combating such acts.  Pushing for a 2 state solution when this is going on is madness.  Can she give the Palestinians an incentive for peaceful behavior other than backing them all the time and expecting Israel to give them more and more land?  Hillary; from promises Israel was promised the Promised Land.  That promise only lasted a short while before Great Britain turned around and gave 80% of that land to King Abdullah.  (update) 

She spoke of 3 choices that we have, and the 1st one was to take the Israel-USA relationship to the NEXT LEVEL.  Trump has spoken of the art of the deal.  Perhaps she has read his book, for she is offering Israel a 10 year deal of a "defense memorandum of understanding to meet Israel's security needs far into the future." She is not afraid that this will send a clear message to Israel's enemies in that the USA and Israel stand together, united.  If this is really believed by her, then why won't she go for moving the USA embassy to Jerusalem and send the same strong message by doing it?

Getting to that NEXT LEVEL, according to her speech, was to make sure she became president-a president with a deep personal commitment to Israel's future as a secure Democratic Jewish state.  We hear the knocking and warnings of what Trump would be like as a president with dire consequences.  We get the warning, that to have security for Israel, America needs to remain a respected global leader, committed to defending and advancing the international order.  Hillary, like it has been these past 8 years?  Frankly, this is what has been missing!  Even she said a paragraph down that it's not good enough to trust and verify, and that our approach must be to distrust and verify.  Well, with your past shenanigans with your own ambassador's life being taken in a terrorist attack, there has been a lot of distrust.  Couple that with not even following your own USA rules about emails, and the mess that has entailed makes me want a lot of verification because that distrust has built up.  The question is, can we trust you and why?
                                                                           
Qaradawi of Qatar
Like reading about your good relations with Qatar, whose friend in good standing is  Al-Qaradawi of Egypt.  Qaradawi was kicked out of Egypt for being a trouble-maker and he lives in Qatar.  He's a Muslim religious leader who goads his followers to kill Jews.  He would do it himself, but he'd have a hard time choking one of us as he's in a wheelchair.  However, he has said that he would do it.  On February 15, 2010, Hillary Rodham Clinton participated in an official Al-Jazeera town hall interview at the Carnegie Mellon U branch in Qatar's Education City.  Al-Jazeera in Arabic advocates killing Jews on Qaradawi's program.  She said she's been followng the Qatar Foundation.  The Al-Qaradawi Centre for Research in Moderate Thought is a short walk away from Education City.  He happens to be barred from entering the USA and is documented as having called for the destruction of America and for the annihilation of the Jews; another Hitler.  Education City's support of Sheikh Al-Qaradawi means they support what he teaches.  This is all documented by MEMRI-(Sheikh Al-Qaradawi & Qatar's Education City Hosting American University Branches.)  As Secretary of State, didn't you realize that this man is a terrorist leader, as bad as ISIS?
                                                                     
Iron Dome shooting down a missile 
That was one promise-a memorandum.  She also said that the USA should provide Israel with the most sophisticated defense technology to deter and stop any threats, like the Arrow 3 and David's Sling, better tunnel detections, technology to prevent armed smuggling, kidnapping and terrorist attacks.  Who does she think will actually come up with these items?  No doubt our creative Israelis will, who continue to share with the USA all they have to protect themselves.  She must have forgotten that Israel has already created the IRON DOME.  It was developed by Haifa-based Rafael SPYDER, a company already known for its anti-aircraft systems.  She said she wanted to tighten the links between Silicon Valley and Israeli tech companies and entrepreneurs.  We already have many Israelis working in Portland in this field.  Israel spent a lot of money providing themselves with 3 of the Iron Domes.  "The $200 million offered by the Obama White House in 2010 helped build a fourth installment."  Because of probably mostly Republican Senators and House members, the USA has been helping Israel in this way, thank goodness.  In March of this year Israel announced the Iron Dome had successfully intercepted 90 percent of incoming Gaza missiles that would have landed in populated Israeli areas.  
                                                                              

One of the  first things Hillary will do as President is to invite the Israeli Prime Minister to visit the White House.  Does she figure Netanyahu won't be in this chair by January?  Why didn't she use his name?  He's been there many a time, Hillary, but not with you as Prez.  You can say that the relationship between Obama and Netanyahu is quite strained these days.  Obama was actively involved in the USA setting up an office in Tel Aviv to vote for Netanyahu's opposing party in his last election.  Since when would we ever put up with foreign interference in our political affairs so boldly?  That was crass!  
Halperin and Heilemann's book that tells how Hillary
operated when running in 2008 for the presidency.  







                                            
American Evita, published in 2004.

A book by Christopher Anderson called American Evita is about Hillary.
In it, on pages 49-50, Anderson cites  a 1973 incident that happened before Bill and Hillary were married on October 11, 1975.   Bill had driven over to a friend's house during a trip to his home state of Arkansas with Hillary to meet a politically well-connected friend.  They noticed as they came close to  the house that a menorah was on the door.  Bill's friend came to the door and when questioned about it, told Bill that his father was half-Jewish (by DNA-I suppose-since one either is or isn't following Judaism).  It was his father who hammered the menorah to the door to be proud that they were part Jewish.  The son couldn't say no.  However, Hillary wouldn't get out of the car to meet him.  Bill had to apologize and told his friend that she's really tight with the people of the PLO in New York.  They are her friends and she doesn't feel right about the menorah.

This is a case of anti-Semitism by Hillary, but it doesn't add up.  Jews don't have menorahs on their door.  They have a small mezzuzah on the side of the door with the 10 Commandments in the case.  To spot it from a car means they were looking for it, no doubt.  A mezzuzah is small.   Why should they worry about a chatchka from the car of a friend's house?  Who ever heard of a menorah on a door, anyway?  Not even in Israel did I see such a door decoration.  Somebody is meshuganah!
                                                                         
Arafat at UN General Assembly  on November 13, 1974
 packing a pistol and called on the world community to decide between
an "olive branch or a freedom fighter's gun."
At a time when elements of the American Left embraced the Palestinian cause and condemned Israel, Hillary was telling friends that she was “sympathetic” to the terrorist organization and admired its flamboyant leader, Yasser Arafat. When Arafat made his famous appearance before the UN General Assembly in November 1974 wearing his revolutionary uniform and his holster on his hip, Bill “was outraged like everybody else,” said a Yale Law School classmate. But not Hillary, who tried to convince Bill that Arafat was a “freedom fighter” trying to free his people from their Israeli “oppressors.”
When a first lady in May 1998, "
Ms Clinton became the first member of any presidential administration ever to call for a Palestinian State.  With Arafat never agreeing to anything, one wonders whose idea it was?  

                                                                                 
Hillary spoke about Iran and their threats to Israel to wipe them out.  She said that Iranian provocations, like the recent ballistic missile tests, are also unacceptable and should be answered firmly and quickly including more sanctions.  We know that, Hillary, and are not seeing it.  What has Obama done about it?  Are you nudging him properly if you believe this?  His presidency has been a "do nothing" and it will blow over thing.  He seems to not believe in "mixing in."  She says that" if elected, the leaders of Iran will have no doubt that if we see any indication that they are violating their commitment not to seek, develop or acquire nuclear weapons, the USA will act to stop it and that we will do so with force if necessary." We heard this from Obama, but haven't seen it.  It's turned out to be empty promises, just like Iran's promise to obey them.  

By addressing AIPAC,  Hillary didn't miss a trick in getting jabs in at Trump.  Israel will not benefit from her offers if he gets in,  was some of the message currently  on her mind and lips.

Salaries of USA Officials: Iran's Moves in 15 Years

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                                                                                            
Ted Cruz, Jr. Senator
Marco Rubio, Jr. Senator
Bernie Sanders, Jr. Senator
The Senators in the USA, a country of 323,406,102 people,  from 2009 to 2014,  made $174,000 per annum.  

A Public school teacher retiree who had taught from 1958 to 1980 is receiving about $12,000 per year in Social Security.  Leaders in the Senate and House make a little more than Senators.  Below is the chart.

Obama and Netanyahu disagreeing on Iran Deal.
 The President of the USA makes $400,000

 "Since 2001, the president has earned a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. The most recent raise in salary was approved by Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001." 
PositionSalary
Vice President$233,000
Delegates to the House of Representatives$174,000
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico$174,000
President pro tempore of the Senate$193,400
Majority leader and minority leader of the Senate$193,400
Majority leader and minority leader of the House of Representatives$193,400
Speaker of the House of Representatives$223,500

There is a huge disparity between government officials and the man in the USA as far as finances go. The USA happens to be the 3rd largest country in the world.  The land mass is " 9,155,898 Km2 or 3,535,111 square miles. 92 million Americans are not in the labor force.  Of these, 41 million are retirees.  The wealthy ones have a nice income, but those on Social Security are barely eking by.  This means 51 million have no income and are either students or are looking for jobs.  They've been doing it for a long time.  Many are angry.  They can't find jobs.

 We have about 6 million Jews in the USA population which is 2%.  Jews in the world number about 14 million today or 0.02% of the world population. Of those, 6 million are Israelis.    "Pew Research Center estimates that there were about 3.3 million Muslims of all ages living in the United States in 2015. This means that Muslims made up about 1% of the total U.S. population (about 322 million people in 2015), and we estimate that that share will double by 2050."  

"A forecast for 2050 provides a high-probability scenario of about 20 million Jews in Israel and in the world, compared to a low-probability scenario of 14 million. According to a mid-probability scenario of 17 million, in 2050 the Jewish people will be able to return to its proportions before the Holocaust." 

We had 17 people throw their hat into the ring vying  for Presidential candidate from the Republican party, and only 2 from the Democratic party because it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary would be the next president.  After all, her husband was the famous Bill Clinton, 42nd president of the USA from 1993 to 2001.  He was from the Democratic Party.  Barack Hussein Obama II, also a Democrat,  was the 44th USA President from 2009 to 2012 and a 2nd term from 2012 to 2016.   Now it looks like Donald Trump is leading as the Republican with Hillary leading from the Democrats unless there is an upset.

Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel's salary in shekels amounts to about $120,000 dollars a year. His salary is based on a 42 hr week and his net amount is equivalent to $4,500 per month.   The average salary in Israel is about $2,500.  48% of his money goes to taxes.   Israel is the size of the smallest state of the USA and has 6 million Jews and 1.7 million Arabs with a total of 7.7 million. The land mass is 8,000 square miles.  

For comparison,  the Prime Minister of Singapore's salary was $2.18 million per year in 2012.  It is an island nation of a Muslim majority with 5,399 million people, mostly Chinese. 
                                              

"Chancelor Merkel of Germany makes $234,383 per year." Germany "The territory of Germany covers 357,021 km2 (137,847 sq mi), consisting of 349,223km2 (134,836 sq mi) of land and 7,798 km2 (3,011 sq mi) of waters. The population is 80.62 million.  

China's leader, Xi Jinping,  makes $22,000 per year.  

 In 2012, "Ministers, MKs and other senior civil servants  enjoyed additional NIS 1,000 per month as of January 1, despite soaring prices and lay-offs. At that time, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for instance, who currently earned NIS 46,000 (roughly $11,850) a month, is expected to get an additional NIS 1,150 (roughly $300), President Shimon Peres' monthly NIS 52,050 (roughly $13,400) will likely grow by NIS 1,562 (roughly $402); and MK Shaul Mofaz is set to receive an additional NIS 1,043 (roughly $270) on top of his monthly NIS 41,730 (roughly $ 10,750).

By 2015, "Netanyahu made 43,952.29 NIS (New Israel Sheqel) per month, a pay slip posted on Facebook by the Prime Minister's office revealed on Monday.  It's less than in 2012.  After taxes, health insurance and social security payments, as well as a 11,590 NIS monthly deduction for his armored car, the pay slip revealed that Netanyahu earned a net income of NIS 15,027.43.==

Trump is a billionaire.  He probably will earn less if he becomes president than he would if he stayed in business.  Even he realizes that the USA is not the center of products anymore in manufacturing.  We rarely see clothing made in the USA.  He's not a lawyer but has had to produce.  He produces hotels all over the world.  He's a doer, and debating was not a part of his education, obviously.  Many think this is the best of  presidential requirements.  When lawyers speak, their words are usually guarded.  Trump is a conversationalist.  He just talks and talks.  He's libel to say anything in any manner just to keep a person's interest.  That might all be part of making a deal.  So far, it's been working for him. Because he hasn't followed the etiquette rules in the unpublished book of How to Run for President, people are becoming enraged.  He had to cancel a rally in Chicago yesterday  and rioters from Sanders' Democrats had to be thrown out this afternoon in another gathering for rioting while he was speaking.  The Democrats may have subdued boring debates, but they sure know how to ruin someone's rally in a very noisy manner.
                                                                     
        
The thing that people may be following DONALD TRUMP for,  is his reaction to the Iran deal that John Kerry made for the USA.  It was so bad that Netanyahu risked receiving disparaging words coming from Israel's voters by coming to the USA and telling the Senate why it was a bad deal, not only for Israel but for the USA as well.  Anywhere from 12 to 15 years, it's possible that both countries will be in danger from nuclear missiles being shot into both countries from Iran.  He's surprised that Kerry didn't insist on getting back the American prisoners that Iran is holding.  Most all the Republican candidates  see the Iran deal as a terrible deal, but the voters may be seeing Trump as the  better deal maker.  After all, he wrote a book about it- THE ART OF THE DEAL."
                                                                                   
2015: "An agreement with Iran is a "mistake of historic proportions" said Netanyhu. 

Netanyahu called the latest nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1

 a mistake of historic proportions. He also stated that Israel is not 

bound by this agreement and will defend itself in case of Iranian 

aggression."

From the Navy comes the report that " Iranian rockets launched near the American ship, Truman, and other warships.  They have a video of it.  It is an Iranian military vessel firing several unguided rockets near the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman and other Western warships and commercial craft. The incident occurred Dec. 26 in the Strait of Hormuz. This was against the rules of the deal.  Are the rules being ignored?
                                                 
Shahab 3 missile from Iran-15 years from now, what will be going on?
Democrats think Iran will go through a metamorphosis of becoming a normal nation.
4 days ago, a report came in that Iran launched ballistic missiles during a military exercise". "The missiles had ranges of between 300 and 2,000 kilometers (185-1,250 miles), Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Guard's aerospace division, said, according to the state news agency IRNA."  

Our senators and government officials are paid well.  Are they doing the best for us in protecting our lives?  How will the next batch coming up from the election in November going to do?  Are we getting the best for our money?   Is it really Wall Street we must fear or is it lazy thinking and political arm wrestling that appears to be going on in Washington?  "Wall Street is the name used to describe the place in New York City where much of the United States' financial industry is concentrated. The name "Wall Street" is also used frequently used to describe the financial services industry, generally."  People who do have a little money to invest do it here and other places.   

 Obama boasted CHANGE' in his bid for the presidency.    He has certainly given us lots of changes.

Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson and Israel

Nadene Goldfoot                                                  

Dr. Carson said that Israel would have a very strong friend if he were president.  He visited Israel last December and came back with the feeling that Israelis had felt betrayed by the USA, especially through the Iran deal.

" Ben Carson said he is in awe of the Jewish state, inspired by its ancient holy sites, impressed by the resilience of people living in a perpetual conflict zone — and deeply disappointed in President Barack Obama.                                                               
            
At the Western Wall in Jerusalem

"Carson said that what had struck him during his fact-finding trip was the resilience of the Israeli people. “I was so impressed by the people who refuse to be cowered by the violence and the hatred that surround them, and they refuse to allow terrorism to rule their lives,”                                                       
Benjamin S. Carson, b: September 18, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan, married, father of 3 children. 

"Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. is a retired  and celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon and author. In 1987, Carson was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins joined at the head with the help of a staff of 70. He is now running for the Republican nomination for presidency.

He graduated from Yale and U of Michigan Medical School.  In 2009 he was the subject of television drama film. Then "he was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland from 1984 until his retirement in 2013.  

Benjamin the son of Sonya (née Copeland) and Robert Solomon Carson, a minister and later Cadillac factory worker. Both parents came from large families in rural Georgia and were living in rural Tennessee when they met and married.

He is rather non-commital about Judea and Samaria and said, "Regarding settlements in Judea and Samaria,  Carson claims the issue is “blown out of proportion.” After touring the area, Carson expressed, “Having been here, and having seen the housing going up, it certainly seems much more benign than what you hear about in the international press.”
                                                                               


Of interest to me is that he has taken a DNA test.    "In 2006, the television mini-series African American Lives conducted a DNA test as part of its segment on Carson. The test indicated that his ancestry is 20% European and 80% African, including ancestors within the Makua people,   the largest ethnic group in Mozambique.  

On the Iran deal negotiated by Kerry,  "Carson criticized US President Barack Obama for negotiating the deal without input from Congress, calling it a “slap in the face to the Founders.”  He said, "The deal is “a complete lack of common sense.”

His intelligence to be a doctor shows up in some of his comments about Israel.  "He questioned the desire among Palestinians for peace. He even suggested that instead of Israel relinquishing captured land to make way for a Palestinian state, neighboring countries such as Egypt should provide the space for a future Palestine!"  He reminds me of King Solomon.
