Center of the World

Martin Behaim's Erdapfel¹

Obama's first phone call to a foreign leader only hours after taking office was to PLO Chairman Abbas to communicate his commitment to the Arab-Israeli “peace” process. His second call was to Israeli PM Olmert. Obama's overriding priority has never vacillated, it has always been the “center of the world” i.e., that tiny little nation approximately the size of New Jersey that is always in news!

As shouts of “Death to Israel” still echoed in the streets of Iran three summers ago, nuclear talks in Vienna concluded with Iran receiving concessions beyond their wildest dreams as documented by photos of the normally reserved diplomat Mohammad Javad Zarif (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran) dancing for joy on his balcony.

Secretary John Kerry concluded with a eulogy to the President "who had the courage to launch this process, believe in it, support it, encourage it, when many thought the objective was impossible, and who led the way from the start to the finish." 

A “process” that gave Iran unlimited resources to facilitate Arab-Israeli “peace” by "annihilating" one or both parties in the process.

Today as the world waits with bated breath, one can only wonder who Trump called first today.

"For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.... Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.... No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. (cf. Isaiah 54:5-17).
