Obama Pressures Israel To Curb Anti-Tunnel Defense
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/20/14 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/20/2014 4:34:50 PM PDT by Nachum

President Barack Obama stepped up his efforts Sunday to limit Israel’s gradual destruction of Hamas’ tunnel network in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza, which now conceals many of the rockets and jihadi units that attack Israelis.

In a morning call to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama “reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself [but] also raised serious concern about the growing number of casualties, including increasing Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza and the loss of Israeli soldiers,” said a 2.00 p.m. statement from the White House.

Israel’s government did not officially respond to Obama’s statement, which came after Israel ground units moved into Gaza to find the tunnels. The Gaza area is controlled by Hamas green-waving jihadis, whose mission is to destroy Israel because it is not controlled by Muslims.

The warring parties should comply with the 2012 ceasefire signed by Hamas, Israel and Egypt’s government, said the White House statement.

“Secretary of State John Kerry will soon travel to Cairo to seek an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the November 2012 ceasefire agreement,” the statement said.

Israel shouldn’t stop until their objectives are met. Hamas should have been ran out a long time ago. There is no place for them in Israel. This is way over Obama’s head.

This maniac Jon Queri is going to get quite a surprise when the Jews go all in, bulldoze Gaza, and turn it into a free fire zone.

To do anything else is a waste of time.

The Israelis do not have an ally in the WH, and the pompous asshole American SOS and his cadre of inept imbeciles at the State Department are an International joke.
