Prominent Religious Zionism Rabbi Eliezer Melamed calls on American citizens to support Republican presidential hopeful. ‘Obama has proved he is not a true friend of Israel,’ he states
ynet
Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, one of the most prominent rabbis in Israel’s Religious Zionism movement, believes that “every American citizen who believes in God and his prophets should vote for Mitt Romney.”
In an unusual statement on US affairs, the rabbi argued that “the true friends of Israel” must be supported both in the presidential election and in the Congressional and Senate elections.

Full story
According to Melamed, US President Barack Obama has proved that he does not fit that title.
In an article published in religious newspaper Besheva, Melamed wrote that American citizens had a great responsibility on their shoulders ahead of the elections, urging them to support a candidate who believes that “the entire Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, just like God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Melamed, who serves as the rabbi of the Har Bracha settlement, explained that he was taking a stand in regards to the US elections because his weekly column in the newspaper was translated into English, published on the Internet and distributed to thousands of subscribers.
“One of the readers asked me to comment on the upcoming elections in order to encourage Israel’s supporters to participate in the elections,” he wrote, adding that Jewish Americans who immigrated to Israel must vote according to Israeli interests as “it is the moral thing to do.”
‘Obama a hostile president’
Rabbi Melamed went on to say that when Obama was elected president, he felt “elated” – like many others – and had tears in his eyes, but soon realized that he was one of the most hostile presidents to Israel.
Among the president’s “sins”, Melamed mentioned Obama’s pressure on Israel to freeze construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem – a move which the rabbi believes “put a curse” on the American people and their country.
Another “sin”, according to Melamed, is Obama’s response to the Arab Spring. According to the rabbi, encouraging popular uprisings in Arab countries – whether explicitly or by doing nothing to stop them – just because they were done in the name of democracy and freedom, put the entire world in danger.
The Israeli rabbi believes that strengthening these values in the Arab world, which is not ready for them culturally, led to the rise of the most radical and dangerous forces.
“The result is violence, chaos and bloodshed, as well as anger among the wide Muslim public, which feels Western countries are trying to impose a culture of lawlessness and permissiveness,” he wrote.
Rabbi Melamed concluded by saying that “each and every citizen of the United States has a great responsibility on his shoulders. And as the Bible has taught us, the attitude towards the people of Israel is a way to measure the ethical stand of the world’s nations and leaders.
“Therefore, there is room to take a stand in regards to the president and the Congress and Senate representatives according to their attitude toward Israel. Support those who back the Jewish people’s return to their land and those who are against the Arabs seeking to rob us of our land.”

Does it really matter Melamed who one votes for in this election? The serpent that was in the garden is still embeded in these men’s hearts. It’s a strange thing indeed….Isaiah 28:21.

Thanks for making your treason so apparent that even the average American can understand it.
So killing countless Muslims/Christians/brown people for the jews wasn’t enough to make Obama a “friend to israel”? Giving untold billions in “aid” (never mind the trillions for all these wars) isn’t enough? Even if he gave his soul for the jews (which he has), it’s still never enough. Remember the manna from heaven?
The only curse this world and the American people have to endure is the synagogue of satan.
Nope, that’s your people’s doing.
Indeed it is. Those that stand with the devil’s children will pay a heavy price, not only here but in the afterlife also.
Imagine the thousands of years that you and your kind have robbed the rest of the world… the theft of israel from Ishmael’s descendants is but merely a speck in comparison.
Can you just imagine what the penalty will be?

Neither one of these diabolical rabbies should have anything to do or say with the elections of a sovereign country, The US, but they feel free to tell our idiot Congressmen and President to do what the serpent of the garden want them to do.

I agree wad. The arrogance of the Jews has become something to behold. It is breathtaking. Their power is so great today that they have largely shed their fear of “discovery”. Most of them no longer see any reason to operate in the shaddows and have no inhibition about openly weilding power in the most abusive manner.
They seem to be convinced that Americans have become so stupid and docile that they can openly lord over them with impunity. They are correct to a point. The truth is that most Americans are not very political and are more concerned with earning a living and raising their families. It is only when things get in the way of their living their normal lives that Americans get upset. What organized Jewry seems to have forgotten is that while Americans are slow to mobilize, once aroused they are not to be taken lightly.
I believe, and have said numerous times, that there is another great backlash against Jewish power coming and that when it arrives it will be a terrible sight to behold. People often question how such a “civilized” people as the Germans could have turned on the Jews so viciously…No historians will ask this question about how Americans turned on the Jews when the time comes. They will simply look at our history and see it as a “typical reaction” of Americans when they are stirred to action.
I don’t know how this struggle will turn out in the end, but I do believe that it is likely to end one of two ways…With America Judenfrei, or America destroyed and Judenfrei. Either way, I don’t see much prospect for a long term future for American Jewry. I would love to see American Jews renoucned Judaims and Zionism and fully integrate into our society before it is too late, but I have no illusions about such a thing actually happening. I hope that this backlash comes sooner rather than later. The longer it is put off, the uglier it is going to be. I would much rather be here to shepherd by family through it then to worry about how they will make it through after I’m gone.

It is the oldest of Jewish complaints: that when anything goes wrong, whenever any gentile people are forced to endure the unendurable, that the Jews are always blamed. There is a very good reason for this. If you look back through Western history at the great trials and tribulations of the various gentile nations, there is usually a Jewish hand involved. Blaming your suffering on the actions of Jews is not “scapegoating” if your suffering actually is the result of Jewish actions.
Americans have been largely brainwashed to accept the Jewish narrative of history, but that brainwashing will wear very thin when the number of Americans who can no longer support their families reaches critical mass. It is then that their attention will be directed toward the causes of their suffering and no amount of PR or media will be able to deflect their gaze away from the Jewish power which has driven them into destitution. At that point no power on earth will be able to stop the backlash against Jewish power until the people’s thirst for vengeance has been satisfied or until we have been destroyed.
For Jews it will be yet one more expulsion and they will move along looking for new and/or easier pickings elsewhere. One has to wonder how, in the information age, they will find any people who will not be aware of what has happened to every other nation which has welcomed them into their homeland. In a sick twist of fate, it may well be the next great backlash that brings about the final ingathering of all the Jews and the end of existence in the diaspora.

Another Rabid Rabbi. Right, we Americans’ most pressing concern is the terrorist state of Israel. What, we don’t support your parasitic asses enough?? Give these fecal bacteria a mile and they want 10. Give ‘em 10 and they want 25. Give ‘em 25 and they want 100, etcetcetc. They are self-centered insatiable leeches. They are enemies of humanity and 95% of the world hates them, and not for no reason, as they would like you to believe. Or is it 98%?

It’s the way the Jewish controlled news media have brainwashed the American people for decades and now that they have the great masses of people in a deep sleep is when these reptiles strike and get away with every thing they want including genocide in their favour.
