Is Obama controlled by Zionist Jews?
Reality
No. Obama is probably the least Pro-Zionist of all of America's presidents since Eisenhower. He has been critical of Israel on numerous different occasions, including the recent Gazan War of 2014. He was the only president since Eisenhower to not go to Israel within his first four years in office (although he did visit Jerusalem on his world tour in 2007 pre-presidency). He openly reached out to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, who have an openly Anti-Zionist policy.
The majority of pressure on Obama to maintain a Pro-Israel policy is from the US electorate. There are over 80 million Christian Zionists in the United States who control key voting blocs and have Congressmen who push a strong Pro-Israel agenda. As a result, it would be political suicide and bad foreign policy to reverse course on Israel, but many suspect that Obama would alter the course more severely if he was less constrained to the will of the American people.
As for the claims below, they are a farce and are easily disproved with a bit of fact-checking.
- Rupert Murdoch is an Australian Christian who does NOT own the New York Times (seeing the family that owns that paper as an "ardent rival", even though he does own Fox News. He is ardently Zionist, but can only be said to be "ethnically Jewish" if you go back to one of his grandparents.
- Most major media outlets are owned by public companies, and are therefore not "Jewish owned": Comcast (NBC), Viacom (CBS), Disney (ABC), Time Warner (CNN), Tribune (Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times), and Gannett (USA Today).
- Most banks are not chaired or owned or controlled by Jews; many banks operate independently or are controlled by Non-Jews. For example the Big Four US Banks are all run by Non-Jews: Jaime Dimon (JP Morgan Chase), Chad Holliday (Bank of America), Michael O'Neill (Citigroup), and John Stumpf (Wells Fargo).
- Rahm Emmanuel is one person out of many in the President's entourage and he was let go relatively early in Obama's first term. If he was pressing Obama in any political direction, it is clear that because of Obama's executive decisions he can no longer do so and shows that Obama is steering his own ship.
The Claim that Obama is controlled by Zionist Jews
Quick answer, yes, definitely. First, the world's media is owned by 6 major Jewish corporations. For example, look up Rupert Murdoch. He is a Jew and he owns at least 175 news outlets such as Fox New York Times.
The media control the conversation and how we think. They control the entire argument. They can promote and cover for a politician,artist,etc or they can punish or kill your career.
Now back to Obama. To start the Jews control the banks. Look up the Rothschild family and the Warhurgs. Paul Warhurg is the founder of the Federal Reserve. FEDERAL reserve is only a name. This is a organization not the government.
Rahm Emanuel is a former investment banker who made millions on Wall Street. Emanuel's sponsor is the Jew, Bruce Wasserstein, who is now the head of Lazard Banking. Rahms father is a Jewish physician that run guns for a Jewish terrorist organization. Look him up and what he said concerning Arabs cleaning floors after Barack's election. His name is Dr. Benjamin Emanuel ("Auerbach" was his original surname)
I could go on but all one need to do is look up the background of his advisors and sponsors. It is quite obvious if you only look.

I have an Israeli 1 Agora coin can anybody tell me how much it is worth?
They ceased to be used as leagle tender in the 80s, but it was worth 100th of a Shekal, kinda like the Israeli version of the penny.
Here's the Israeli to American exchange rate for yesterday, just so you can get the feel for what the Agora would be worth if they were still using it now.

Who or what was baal to the Israel nation?
Baal was a god of the Philistines. It made the Israelites stray away from following the one and true God. It was an idol. Many times the kings tried to reform Israel and take Baal out of the picture, but the nation had a hard time with that. Other times, the kings were the ones who encouraged the nation to worship Baal.

What do Orthodox Jews believe about healthcare?
It depends on what the healthcare is providing and what Rabbi is interpreting the social mandate.
Typically, on issues of medicine, the Orthodox approve of:
- Government or Private Medical Insurance (depending on what it covers)
- The use of any and all medicinal remedies (even if they contain non-kosher ingredients)
- The use of any electrical or other machinery to examine the human body
- The licensing and certification by the state or any viable accrediting agency for doctors (faith healers are not believed nor sought)
- Artificial Life Support
- Abortions when the life of the mother is threatened (physically)
- Birth control, although it should be used sparingly
Typically, on issues of medicine, the Orthodox disapprove of:
- Abortion, except for the health of the mother
- Coverage by Insurance for birth control
- Government mandated or permitted decisions to end life (either by removing artificial life support or permitting euthanasia)
- Embryonic Stem Cells created explicitly for that purpose (having leftovers from the attempts to produce test-tube babies is fine)
- Autopsies of any sort
- Any prevention of Brit Milah (male circumcision)

How many Jews lived in what is now Israel in 1841?
Roughly no more than 1,000; the so-called "Palestinian Jews." Moreover not all "Palestinian Jews" were even semitic; the majority, were either Ashkenazim who had escaped this progrom or that in 17th century Europe or, Sephardic Jews who went to live there after they were expelled from Spain. Sephardic Jews, Spanish Jews, are not fully semitic; although the semitic blood in them is indeed thick, some having it as high as 40%, said semitic blood, comes mostly from Phoenician influences. See according to tradition, the ancestors of the Sephardim, where the children of King David by his concubines, and later on, the children of Solomon by HIS concubines and over 1,000 wives. Do not think for a minute, Greece was the only ancient world culture, whose lands could not support the people, Israel became too populous for its own good as well, thus, tradition holds that many left for what is now southern Spain. Somehow they managed to survive the Punic wars, but while there, they mixed a lot with the locals. In other words, while a Sephardic Jew may be semitic, it is not Hebrew semitic.
The further away semitic people get from the Arabian peninsula, the less tribal they become, and the more willing to intermarry they are. In Honduras for example, you have Jewish men married to Palestinian Arab women. The Palestinians in Honduras are Christian, not Muslim; however even so, you won't see that in the middle east, even Christian Arabs are prejudiced against Jews. Its just human nature; if individuals can not find members of their group, they will find the closest thing, that are members of their group. Here's an example; say you have 10 Japanese, and 40 Chinese in a given University in Hamburg. Because they are the only 10 Japanese, they will be friends with the 40 Chinese, the "closest thing" to their group.
Isolated from Europe, you saw the same trend in the United States during its heavy European immigrant days; in Europe they were this or they were that, but here, the "threat of the native Americans" made everyone simply "white." In modern times, the "threat of hispanic and black crime" once again, makes everyone "white." The ancient Sephardim, were no different; isolated from their main group, they stuck to people, and picked marriage partners from, the closest thing which was of course, the Phoenicians who themselves were semitic. In other words just because a Sephardic Jew has semitic blood, it does not mean, said Semitic blood is in fact, Hebrew. Moreover, there is heavy contribution from Spain's host population, namely, the Celtiberian/Latin Spaniards. Spaniards are white people, just like the rest of Europe, especifically speaking, they are white people with very heavy ancient Roman admixture. The reason Spain has men and women who look taken straight out of a Roman sculptor's workshop, is because the majority of them have Latin blood, the same blood as the Romans. That is why Latin America is called LATIN America; its not just the culture, but the heavy admixture genetically speaking, that Latinos carry. Genetically, the majority of Latino mestizos from latin America are related to the ancient Romans, thus, they are cousins to Italians. Latin Americans look southern European, but the native American in them is also noticeable if you look carefully enough; more to the point, the tendency for the Latin peoples to mix with everyone they encountered, also included the Jews.
Now, I need to type a disclaimer; there is no historical proof for any of this. All we know from archaeology, is that Sephardic Jews have indeed been in Spain for over 2,000 years, however because the existence of neither David, nor Solomon has as yet been confirmed, we can not take tradition as "proof." As to what happened to the Jews prior to 1841; after the burning of the second temple, you had the Talmudic period. The Talmud, was in fact originally written in ancient Judaea, however from there, it was taken to be preserved in Babylon, that is how you get that stuff about the "Babylonian Talmud." I need to point out, it was NOT first written in Babylon, however it was preserved there. The period following the burning of the second temple is known as the Talmudic period, a period of 200 years, where many, mostly wealthy members of the tribe of Levi, left ancient Judaea by the thousands.
Nevertheless despite the mass migration, even in Byzantine times, the majority of the people living in Judaea were Hebrew Jews, not Arabs, not Palestinians, not Greeks, not Byzantines, Hebrews, the actual native population. So, where did they go? What happened to them?
All men over 12, per the warfare rules of Islam, were exterminated by Gernal Khalid's armies, all boys under 12 were sold as slaves, as well as all the women. You see, there were no Jews living in "Palestine" because General Khalid's armies killed and sold them all. The "continuous Jewish pressence" thing is a myth; it is true, what the Arabs say, that there was a period where those lands were devoid of Jews.
However what the Arabs won't tell you, is that it was devoid because they massacred them all. Yes, there were Jews living there, but the first to resettle "Palestine," where Sephardic Jews from Spain who, being unable to withstand the miserable living conditions, the majority promptly left to go live in Anatolia (modern Turkey). Later on, as Central and Eastern Europe became hostile towards Jews, there was a small trickle of ashkenazi Jews. Some ashkenazi in Israel, have family backgrounds in that country, going back 200 years. In other words there are ashkenazi, European Jews, whose families have lived in Israel before Israel was even a country again. No doubt this question was motivated by something an Arab or Muslim told you; do your own research. Go to a University library, look up the most obscure historical writtings you can find on both the Jews, as well as the history of Islam, in addition to the history of the Byzantine empire. You will be somewhat shocked, by what you find.
The missing word is "displacement".
Why do you think Israel has worked hard to develop it's agricultural and manufacturing industries?
Because they were probably a necessity to Israel's economy.
What events led up to the creation of the state of Israel?
The United Nations proposed a plan to divide Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.
Is Jerusalem in the land of goshen?
No, Jerusalem is in Israel, the Land of Goshen is/was an area in northeast Egypt where the Jews were held in slavery before Moses lead them out.
No, it is the Jewish state. However, many Christians visit Israel due to the biblical and historical places. As in, Jerusalem.
Why did the British pull out of Palestine in 1948?
During the 1940s, especially after World War II, Jewish and Arab Militias and Terror Organizations stepped up their attacks on British colonial authorities and each other. As a result, it became increasingly difficult for the British to maintain security in the territory. Therefore, they began to stop policing violence between Jewish and Arab Militias. When the United Nations in November 1947 created the Partition Plan in Resolution 181, the British decided to honor the decision of the UN and withdraw its soldiers to allow for the creation of these two independent states. The withdrawal took over five months, with the final British soldiers departing on May 14, 1948.
How many confirmed cases of the Swine Flu have been found in Israel?
As of November 22, 2009 there have been an estimated number of 4330 cases and 51 confirmed deaths from A-H1N1/09 Swine flu in Israel.
Who decided what the holy sites in Israel are?
From a Christian perspective, Helena, mother of the fourth-century Roman Emperor Constantine, located, to her own satisfaction, all the spots where every important event in the recorded career of Jesus at Jerusalem supposedly took place. She discovered the site of Jesus' crucifixion at Golgotha , his burial place, and even the locations where Jesus was born and ascended to heaven.
Prior to Helena, there seems to have been no Christian interest in holy sites in Israel, and none was known.
Answer:
Jewish people regard the city of Jerusalem as holy because it was once the location of the Holy Temple.
If Jesus died in Israel why is the Vatican in rome?
Because St. Peter fled Rome (the city) but turned back to face crucifixion. He is revered by Catholics to this day.
Do israeli men have multiple wives?
NO
Polygamy was forbidden among Jews in the 11th century.
