וילך עשו אל ישמעאל
With President Barack Hussein OAliBabaBama pandering to the Arab world, what will be? Who should we turn to for help?
Don't worry. לב מלכים ושרים ביד השם. It's all part of The Plan. Israel needs to be in a state of הן עם לבדד ישכון just as we were 70 years ago. It can no longer have "friends" like the USA to fund defense projects or veto UN resolutions since this "friendship" comes with a price. If the price is removing Jews from parts of our Holy Land, and to add insult to injury - giving that land to our sworn enemies, then the price is way too high.
A true friend would not use "tough love" when no toughness is warranted. A true friend would understand the needs of the friend and tell the friend's enemies to go you-know-where. This is why I use "friends" in quotes, and this is why OAliBabaBama is no friend of Israel.
We say every day אל תבטחו בנדיבים בבן אדם שאין לו תשועה - we cannot rely on people. People are limited - there's no Teshu'a in people. Rather, in עקבתא דמשיחא, there's one thing for certain: אין לנו על מי להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים. We're certainly heading in that direction, if not there already.
And we're ready to rely on Him forever more.

When will you join us in the Land?
Isn't he there already?
No, Devorah. Sadly, not. Although, my parents are making Aliya בע"ה within a few months.
So, my answer, Misha'el, is "When the time is right."
B"H
Didn't the Lubavitcher Rebbe always refer to America as the "medina shel chesed"?

You're so on target; it's a pleasure to finally see a blogger with such vision. I'd like to add to this my post on TRUE EMES http://habayitah.blogspot.com/2009/06/true-emes.html
Aaron,
I'm not a Lubavitcher Chosid, so I may not be qualified to answer, but my guess is that he meant that America is a Medina Shel Chesed in the fact that Jews can practice Torah and Mitzvot freely in the U.S. without persecution, משא"כ in some other countries. This fact is still true, and I continue to have a tremendous amount of Hakarat Hatov to this nation for that. However, that is very different than the U.S. Government's policy on Jews practicing Torah and Mitzvot in Judea and Samaria and even sections of Yerushalayim. There, religious freedom (along with their Chesed) goes by the wayside so they can befriend ישמעאל. Previous presidents were doing this too, but this time, the pressure is getting intense. We cannot rely on Bibi to withstand the pressure (although, I hope he does). Only on אבינו שבשמים.
Alternatively, this too is an act of חסד - but to the wrong people - to ישמעאל, who knows how to take your חסד and stab you in the back with the חסד you provide them.
