Netanyahu Warns Obama on Talks with Hamas

Israeli candidate for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Barack Obama that Israel will not be pushed into making concessions to her enemies.

Netanyahu is in the lead in a very close race for Israeli Prime Minister.

During Netanyahu's last term in office during the 1990s, he was forced to make a similar warning to former President Bill Clinton.

Obama has already distinguished himself as being even more pro-Palestinian than Bill Clinton. His policy changes in the Middle East include opening direct talks with Iran, which has stated its goal is to annihilate Israel, and to call the Palestinian leader immediately upon being elected to tell him that the goals of Palestinians are now the goals of the United States.

These terribly wrong-headed and dangerous policy initiatives will hamper Obama's ability to work amicably with Benjamin Netanyahu, who refreshingly takes a realistic approach to Israel's security.

Duncan Hunter--Israel Should Not Give Up One Inch of Land

Washington, DC (TLS). Republican Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter stated Monday that if he is elected President he would be guided by the premise that Israel should not be pressured to give up a single inch of land as a prerequisite for peace.

In the court of world public opinion, somehow Israel is portrayed as the bad guy in its fight for survival against mortal enemies sworn to its demise all around it. Hunter correctly assesses the Middle East situation as 'having the deck stacked' against Israel while Palestinians, Iranians, Al Qaeda, and others go about their dirty work to destroy the Jews and anyone who defends them.

Hunter has thrown his support behind Israel in the fight.

Needless to say, we like it! Read the full story here:
