What will Obama do in the second term?
- By AMERICAN HINDU

Obama was not too friendly to Israel in his first term. How will he behave if he wins a second term? Why did he help the Islamist overthrow Gaddafi? Why is he speaking against the Syrian regime which will be replaced by a Sunni Islamic Brotherhood? Why did he support the opposition forces of the Brotherhood in Egypt? Could it be that many in the administration are doing the bidding of the Saudi Arabians who want to see the Wahabisation of the Middle East and the destruction of Israe?

  Soros and Lewis do not use their money to force the US to be subordinate to a hostile foreign power. Adelson admitted he's sorry he wore the uniform of the US armed forces. He says he should have served in the IDF. It's clear his first loyalty is to Israel. You can't say that about Soros or Lewis. Some dare call it treason.
