For your information, Obama was sent from Heaven.
When President Barack Obama won in 2008, many saw the election as historic. His supporters saw it as rare opportunity to usher in a new era in American politics and citizenship.
Instead, even Democrats will agree, partisanship in Washington, DC is on the rise, the economy has a long road ahead for recovery and “hope has been tested,” as Obama said at his convention speech.
But one rabbi, known for staunch right-wing opinions, sees the President as “an emissary of the Divine Providence.”
The often confrontational Israeli Chabad Rabbi Dovid Meir Drukman, Rabbi of the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Motzkin, has penned a sarcastic op-ed about Israel-U.S. relations.
In the article, Rabbi Drukman said he saw the reported rift between the 2 countries over how to deal with a nuclear ambitious Iran as a blessing in disguise.
Haaretz said Obama had rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s request for a meeting in Washington next week – a report White House spokesman Tommy Vietor denies, saying no such request was made or rejected.
Netanyahu criticized what he called the world’s failure to spell out what would provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities and the lack of “red lines” being set for Tehran, AP reported.
“Let us give thanks to Obama and his cronies who are only leading us to fulfil what it says “Blessed is the man who trusts in Hashem and whose hope Hashem is”,” Drukman quoted from Jeremiah 17:7.
The rabbi went on to mention the ancient Egyptian King Pharaoh that our sages said has “brought the hearts of Israel to their father in heaven. The wicked Pharaoh was the emissary to awaken the Jews to do teshuva.”
“The “sincere friendship” (of the nations of the world) is being exposed as to what they really mean –Heaven forbid and may it never occur– to throw us to the dogs,” he said.
Rabbi Drukman mentioned a story of a Chassidic doctor who purposely hesitated to respond to a medical emergency which he saw was not curable, leading the patient’s daughter to cry out to G-d for help.
“America, our ‘good friend’ and only support in a natural way, is indifferent to our situation and is revealed as a broken reed,” he wrote. “We are left alone as one sheep among 70 wolves.”
Didn’t the Rebbe say there would never be another Holocaust?
Just because Obama Y”Sh is bad, whos to say romney’s any better, Obama claimed to be good for the yidden too, but was he really? Anyways goodnight.
KVTLT”U
Is it the Jewish way to speak to one with whom we differ with disrespect? It is not my place to say for whom one should vote, but please let us debate facts in a way that demonstrates that we can differ without insulting one another.
If you do, I strongly suggest that you vote for Romney. Please see the Movie 2016. It is frightening to see what can happen. Please remember that the Jews in Poland didn’t believe anything could “really” happen. It can and it will if we don’t stand up. I beg of you. Vote Romney
Why the auto faith that Romney is good for
Yidden? Who says? Romney ?
As Jews our major priority is to vote for a more wholesome atmosphere in the culture of the USA, where a consciousness of a Creator is not a laughing stock item, and moral values have a positive role in the street.
Leave the foreign policy for he who makes the boundaries for all the nations.
im sure you missed romney’s major messups this morning with the embassy bombings clearly showing he’s another bush just waiting to happen, but oh wait, i forgot, you already knew that…
Disgrace!
Obama is a disgrace! an awful president with zero leadership qualities or abilities to change the real things that matter and are important to the average American including myself, let’s hope that his days in office are numbered
as usual, nonsensical “retorts” on your part, I was clearly pointing out the principles of politics, which obviously you do not understand.
Let us all daven this Rosh Hashana that we be united with our leader our Rebbe vaad hikitzu verannu dovid malka meshica wonmammesh achshov.
Dear Rabbi Drukman,
Don’t be so naive as to believe the media narrative. America is not a broken reed nor is Medinat Yisrael a macrocosm of the Jewish people. It’s only the wicked usurper of the USA that harbors a hatred of Jews from his childhood terrorist-affiliated mentors. This hatred is ingrained and his actions concerning Israel only corroborate this. As always, the real source of the Jewish peoples problems are themselves. If Jews would stop pandering to non-Jewish ways just to be “accepted” then they would find that many of their problems would disappear.
barack hussein obama has disgraced the title president!! any Jew that votes for him has got to be a self hating Jew. any American (when I see how stupid americans are I’m embarrased to be one) who votes for this idiot, whos wife could never be proud of being an american until her man got into the white house) has got to be a bumbling self hating human being. He has done NOTHING
Attention world-turn to hashem. Only he can help.
which is probably the same idiot! Obama put America on the bottom of the ladder! America is a JOKE these days! VOTE ROMNEY! A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA!
IN NOVEMBER
Israel is our only ally is the region. Obama said he had no time to meet him then announces a performance on Letterman. That’s a slap in the face.
please move to israel…
The safety and status of Israel is a reflection of the entire Jewish nation. What happens to them will have very real repercussions on all of us.
For this reason alone it is enough for me to decide to vote
Mit Romney.
vote bibi for president of the us, or better yet, move to israel and be active in THEIR political process instead of diluting ours. its so easy to pick on the president, but look in the mirror, israel does this to themselves year after year.
When the Prime Minister of an American ally and friend asks for an audience with the American president it is normaly granted. Obama’s refusal is a slap in the face to Israel and its American supporters. This is who Obama is.
I will vote for Romney and every Jew who loves Israel should do so as well.
since when does the president of the united states let a foreign leader dictate how he goes about his day. and guess what bibi, with your attitude towards our president and your shift to pandering to the conservative right in this country will cost you and israel BIG in the long run. this is why israel’s government is in constant shambles, this is why israeli leaders can never get out of their own way.
