Opinion | Who Is a Bigger Threat to His Democracy: Bibi or Trump … by Thomas L. Friedman, NY Times
Notice that you only have two choices; and either one is a condemnation. As the Dry Bones cartoon above observes, Thomas Friedman advises to vote against Netanyahu. The Dry Bones punchline is great. Voting for Bibi may drive some voters away, but for the Times, it is not a drive, just a short walk. The Left has been trying to defeat Bibi Netanyahu for years. This link recounts the Obama people working against Bibi in 2015.
Now, check out the biased CNN Headline from today (July 15, 2019) about Trump:
The President defends his racist attacks on US congresswomen
Again, this is opinion, not news. This is shameless bias. Nothing is left to the interpretation, the condemnation is in the headline. Trump defends his “racist attacks.” Just so you get it, his tweets were both “attacks” and “racist.” And the Congresswomen’s remarks are not the issue. He is not commenting on their content, oh no, he is attacking them as people.
Well, you see this all the time, I just share a couple examples to make a point. We must all consider the actual words we hear and see. Don’t let it wash over you uncritically. Pay attention. There is bias everywhere. I also am biased. The key is to discern the bias of your sources. It helps to hear the real message behind the words.
Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. Malachi 3:18 NLT
Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? Luke 12:56 NKJ
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is,those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 NKJV
Pray for discernment. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.

Netanyahu Makes History
20 07 2019Doreen and I were watching TV in 1982 when I first saw PM Netanyahu as a 33 year old young political attache at the Israeli Embassy interviewed by Ted Koppel of ABC’s Nightline. I told Doreen: “That man is going to be the Prime Minister of Israel.” He has now made history as the longest serving PM, surpassing founding father David ben Gurion, Israel’s first PM.
Two months from now he faces a new election that threatens Israel’s future. Every liberal opponent, media and massive money is set to defeat him. Will he win again? In my view, yes. Here is why. I simply believe he is God’s choice for Israel at this prophetic juncture of history. This is not a time for liberal political mush. He first gained attention in Israel for his strong opposition to the Oslo Accords that have proven to be a disaster. They were based on the failed concept of “land for peace” that only brought more Israeli deaths from terrorism that moved closer with every new concession of land.
A Hebrew seal found in Jerusalem from the First Temple bearing the name “Netanyahu”
The name Benjamin Netanyahu is a Biblical name. Benjamin means “son of my right hand” was the only son of Jacob named by his father. Netanyahu means “gift of Yehovah” and so he is to modern Israel.
We must continue to pray for him to fulfill God’s purpose. I do not believe God is done with him. The same applies to President Trump. If either man turns away from God’s plan, God will remove him.
Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2:20-22
