Netanyahu Off To The US

JERUSALEM - After 48 hours of little sleep, sparse food and intense tfillos [4 hour long shmoneh esreis!!!], PM Benyamin Netanyahu is heading off to the US to gives sichos chizzuk in various yeshivos and kolellim for the aseres yemei teshuva. He was sent off at the airport by many of his followers holding signs expressing support who wanted to wish him "צאתכם לשלום" and receive brachos for these solemn days. 

He will first speak at BMG in Lakewood and then move on to the main Satmar Beis Medrash in Williamsburg and other venues. His upcoming visit has caused a gevaldike hisorerus among Heimishe Yidden everywhere!!! 

President Biden asked to meet with him but Bibi reportedly told him to look at the gemara in Brachos 7a - "When I wanted - you didn't want. Now that you want - I don't want".  

Netanyahu tweeted "Now it is our job to go out there and be ממליך the בורא everywhere. וידע כל פעול כי אתה פעלתו ויבין כל יצור כי אתה יצרתו ויאמר כל אשר נשמה באפו ה' א-להי ישראל מלך". Only a secure State of Israel will ensure that the nations recognize that Hashem the G-d of ISRAEL is king".

Davening for the revelation of Malchus Shomayim [as in all of our tfillos Rosh Hashana and our daily Aleinu] and being overly enthusiastic of "leaders" who reject categorically Malchus Shomayim seems to be a stark contradiction lost on many.
