The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum President Netanyahu words Biblical in light of Holy Scripture??

The Highways goal is to exalt God. I am deeply concerned about the statements below from President Netanyahu. I copied them from CNN on March 6, 2012. If what CNN reported below are truthful statements, then if any ally of our nation who stated words like those then it causes me to ask are President Netanyahu’s words biblical? Those words from President Netanyahu while being probably heart-felt, and wise in his own eyes, are nothing short of autonomous. From the Old Testament in many many places it says, "Do not be wise in your own eyes." I did a SS class on Judges awhile back and here was a question I asked our class. From Chapter 7, verse 2 when contrasted with Judges 8:22b - What are some of the reasons the men of Israel have forgotten about God’s earlier troop reductions and believed the victory was brought about by human effort? Is the Church prone to travel the same road as these men? How so? I am concerned because I do not believe it is wise at this juncture to be on President Netanyahu's side to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Netanyahu insisted that Israel will remain "the master of its fate" in ensuring that Iran not obtain a nuclear weapon.

"Israel must reserve the right to defend itself, and after all, that's the very purpose of the Jewish state: to restore to the Jewish people control over our destiny," Netanyahu said.

I think you're projecting too much, Net. is simply saying they will do a premptive strike if Iran continues down this path....and I'm sure they will, very soon.

he's also alluding to the WWII peace agreement.....

he's saying Israel can't just wait around and react to a nuclear attack, Iran does not acknowledge Israel's right to exist.....

What would you have him say and the nation do....he's not bringing religion into the conversation in these statements (and I don't think that would be wise(especially following a meeting with Obama), it seems you would like him to......

this is a political matter.....I would hope Net calls upon God (becasue of course He ordains and reigns over everything)for widson and strength to himself and his nation, but I don't think he had to make a public sentiment as part of these statements....
