Obama: Judea and Samaria Must Not be 'Gaza 2'

U.S. President Barack Obama said at the Saban Forum on Saturday that there must not be another Gaza in the Palestinian Authority-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, as part of the “Disengagement”. This resulted in Hamas taking over the region and escalating rocket attacks at southern Israel.

Obama warned that in the event of a final agreement between Israel and the PA, there would be a "transition period" to ensure that Judea and Samaria does not become a security threat akin to Hamas-ruled Gaza. He said that the PA would have to accept such a transition period.

"This transition period requires some restraint on the part of the Palestinians as well. They don't get everything they want on day one," he said, according to the AFP news agency.

"The Israeli people can't expect a replica of Gaza in the West Bank," Obama added. "That is unacceptable."

This evil man and his arrogant administration is going bring Gods direct judgment on this nation, and I don’t the think we’ll have to wait long, the blessings are already leaving us but no one in higher office seems to recognize it,

This happens at the time of the end (of the age)

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; “ Isaiah 28:18

A 7 year transition period?

The Devil sounds like the vivisectioning of Israel is a done deal.

Netanyahu isn’t stupid enough to give up another acre.

He was stupid enough to give up Hebron.
He was stupid enough to bring Tzipi Livni into his government.

requires some restraint on the part of the Palestinians

Please stop, my sides are hurting already.

Wait! There’s more! He said “also requires some restraint on the part of the Palestinians”! Don’t slaughter any more families in their beds, but an occasional stabbed soldier is ok. But Israel had better show total restraint! Any use of force will be deemed excessive and require another apology to Turkey. Why just Turkey? You’re right. To the whole Islamic world.

that has also been my thought from the beginning,

and regardless someone will follow Netenyahu, and the west will crown someone like tzipi/hillary

very Daniel Chapter 11 in possibilities,

All good points.

Ghaza 1 was so ineffective. All they were good for was badly aimed missiles and an occasional kidnapping or casualty. I expect better from the West Bank. Let’s see some wholesale slaughter.
