It's all over the news; the nuclear deal with Iran has been struck and all will be well........or not. All could be destroyed.
There is uncertainty in the minds of some, certainty of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon in the minds of others. But although the fundamental Islamic country has repeatedly sworn to Israel's and America's destruction, we are really not all that worried.
The idea of an Iranian-initiated apocalypse is nothing new. When we made aliyah to our beloved homeland eight years ago my husband asked the pointed question: "Are you not concerned about moving our children to a country that Ahmadinejad has threatened to wipe off the map?" Without a thought I answered "No." It simply made no sense in my mind that G-d himself would make it a mitzvah, or commandment, to settle Eretz Yisrael only to wipe us out once we got here. I cannot assume to know how G-d works; I'm just so sure it's not like that.
To be perfectly honest, we are used to receiving hatred for our efforts to survive in a part of the world that has brought terror abroad for decades. Being Old Faithful amongst thriving terror organizations isn't easy, but as my kids will attest to it's a real rush when you see what national unity and a strong military can achieve. When you view footage of your army helping and treating the enemy it can make you want to scream. It can also make you damn proud. We may not have a lot of friends in high places, but we have The One in the highest place and that gives our lives the thrill of a blessed existence.
We will always do the right thing, will always be a "light unto the nations" as we were commanded thousands of years ago.
Do you like Bill Maher? He is a witty, entertaining guy who had the honor of interviewing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2013. It is incredible how Netanyahu's views have stayed consistent throughout the years unlike many politicians we know. So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this wonderful video of When Bibi met Bill :)
