Shhhh, Don’t Tell Anyone: Hamas Won

The administration spends far more time appeasing Islamists than killing terrorists.

Barack Obama brought enough Chicago-style community organizing to Israel that Benjamin Netanyahu knew what he would have to do. If he hoped to keep the tepid support of his country’s essential but icy ally, Israel’s prime minister would have to do what he’d spent nearly three years steadfastly refusing to do. Netanyahu would have to apologize to a state sponsor of terrorism that openly, notoriously, and enthusiastically supports Hamas.

He would have to apologize to Turkey — to its prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama’s close friend and confidant.

He would have to apologize for military action taken in his country’s righteous defense against violent jihadists with close connections to Erdogan’s ruling party and, seamlessly, to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as al-Qaeda.

Netanyahu appears to have made a pact with the devil in succumbing to pressure from Obama and his appeasement will likely be paid for in even more Israeli blood. I wonder if Netanyahu has gained US support for an attack on Iran in exchange and if Netanyahu has politically crippled himself domestically?

Evil is triumphing.

And, unfortunately, will continue to triumph.

[rbg81]

I doubt it. If Netanyahu made a deal for anything, it was probably to prevent US support in the UN for a Palestinian state. Obama will do that in the end anyway, probably in his last year in office.

Obama probably wants Iran to get nukes while dismantling our own arsenal.

[abclily]

And, unfortunately, we are subsidizing the evil.

[Nanny7]

Netanyahu shouldn’t trust any deal with the man. Ask Boehner.

[Jack Hammer]

Hamas won - with the help of America’s Moslem president, Hussein al-Obama.
