The White House on Saturday defended Israel’s right to defend itself against attack and decide how to respond to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, blaming the ruling Islamic militant Hamas group for starting the conflict.
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are in agreement that a de-escalation of the violence is preferred, provided that Hamas stops sending rocket into Israel, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters during the president’s flight on Air Force One to Asia. …

Obama is just stalling for time until his people come up with the right excuse , so they can switch sides
You don’t say...........well how bout that?
I created 8 Million jobs.
Oil production is UP on federal lands.
I’ve deported more undocumented workers than any of my predecessors.
It is not help, either.
Zero's people are rag heads and not Brits, Americans or Jews ... that's the bottom line.
If Israel needs help after defending itself, zero will say, "You had the right to defend yourself ... good luck"
The Liberal Messiah is saying this only because He knows Israel will do what it wants anyway. He has nothing to gain by getting in an argument with Netanyahu.
White House: Israel has right to defend itself
I seriously doubt if Israel gives a rats ass if the White House thinks it is okay for them to defend themselves......
Meanwhile, the Muslim-in-chief stirs up all the s**t in the ME that he possibly can. I still can’t get my head around why supporting terrorists laws don’t apply to him or anyone in his administration.
Sure as long as they don’t kill any one.... bleeech this WH is pathetic
Then quickly added, “but we won’t help them.”
Personally, I think they should escalate big time, throw down a nuke on Tehran, one on Mecca, and one on Cairo. All within minutes of each other. Maybe the terrorists will decide to try to coexist after that. If not take ot a second layer of enemies in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.
The liberal press would just love that. Another opportunity to vilify the “Zionist entity” and all. (How did we ever let Kurt Waldheim run the UN?)
The USA should stop waiting for Israel to do what we should have done ages ago. After all, we got stuck with the label “Great Satan”. The Camp David Accords were a terrible mistake too.
And on the flip side, the WH says that Israel shouldn’t be attacking Gaza and needs to keep troops out....
The news report just now of this situation in the middle east could well have been produced by Hamas. Followed by Chuck Todd carrying Obama’s water on this then David Gregory covering his rear on Benghazi.
