Barack Obama is trying his best to stand in between Israel and the destruction of one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations.
The president has made it clear since the conflict in Gaza began heating up a few weeks ago, that his support of Israel begins and ends at the podium, as his actions outside of his famously scripted and egocentric speeches demonstrates a hidden hostility toward the Israelis.
President Obama warned Israeli leaders to use “restraint” in dealing with terrorists who were bombing their country, doing untold amounts of damage and putting people’s lives in danger.
After a peace agreement was rejected by Hamas, Israel decided it was time to move in ground forces to take out underground tunnel networks being used to conceal rockets and other weapons, despite Obama “warning” them not to do it.
Now the president is asking the Israeli government to take things down a few notches and keep fighting so hard.
via Daily Caller:
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.
Something that President Obama just doesn’t seem to understand about dealing with bullies like Hamas is that they don’t care about peace. These individuals are terrorists bent on the complete destruction of an entire race of people, along with dominating the world and ruling it under the flag of Islam.
Terrorists don’t do negotiations. They only understand power and force, meaning that Israel’s actions are an appropriate response to these vicious radicals. America should be doing as much as possible to support Israel and give them the breathing room they need to take out Hamas. In all honesty, they would be doing the world a favor.
Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you support Israel and their ground operations to eradicate Hamas and protect their country.
Israel has also allowed aid to go into Gaza for the Palestinian civilians ... and that’s at Israeli checkpoints. Israel has also allowed for another type of funding for the Palestinians in Gaza, and that is through the utilities that Israel provides for the Palestinians ... and they “carry the bills” too, not having been paid for the utilities.
And then a lot of other European countries and agencies provide aid to the Palestinian civilians.
They are not cutting off aid (and mind you, that’s Israel too) from the Palestinian civilians, as Israel counts them as separate from Hamas and their terrorist organization. That’s why Israel also takes great pains in avoiding collateral damage to Palestinian civilians, as they don’t seek to punish those civilians for Hamas and it’s terrorist organization - even though - Israel is unjustly accused of doing that very thing.
“Obama Tells Israel to Cut Back on Fighting Terrorists”
The one example I can find where he is leading by example.
We have spent close to $1 Billion in economic aid for infrastructure and Gaza has a GDP of only $1.35 Billion or so .
We see no economic development or improvement in Gaza because Hamas diverts the aid money from it's intended purpose and invests the money on terror tunnels and expendable items with a very short life span like Kassam missiles.
Hamas and it’s terrorist organization are like criminal organizations ... and they surely are criminal. It’s like criminal organizations in the USA ... in that they figure out to infiltrate businesses, organizations and government entities, to skim money and get influence and connections for what they are doing.
It would be like having the police here in the USA paid off to look the other way. We’re not going to close all police departments because there are crooked cops. It would be like having “a judge in your pocket” ... but we’re not going to shut down the judicial system. It would be like the mob controlling the ports and the unloading and loading of goods there ... but we’re not going to shut down all the ports.
There are still Palestinian civilians there and when working with them in trying to provide assistance, one is going to have to root out the corruption and infiltration of the Hamas terrorist organization.
And that problem in Gaza is especially severe in that way.

The terrorists are losing, thus Obama's concern.
I cannot say what I think.
GAH!!!
Disgusted with this piece-of-crap president! So if someone is pushing a knife into your children's chests and you're trying to deflect the knife, Obama would suggest you try to use restraint in deflecting the knife! What a sorry-a** excuse for president!
Israel, put Obama on IGNORE for your own safety.
Anyone know the Biblical prophecies for those nations who side with Israel? I know Egypt is mentioned and will survive, Damascus becomes rubble but off the top of my head I don’t remember the rest.
If I was an investor, I would read the prophecies, like Revelation 6:6 “And I hear as it were a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius [days wages], and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oi and the wine.”
I want to encourage ALL FREEPERS to jump all over this Facebook page . It belongs to Ann Wright , a close associate of Medea Benjamin and Code Pink. Wright presents herself as a former U.S. Army Col. (R) and is one of the biggest organizers of anti-Israel / pro-Hamas rallies and initiatives in the U.S. Wright also goes along on every single Gaza blockade busting attempt . I believe she could be a paid Iranian agent . The U.S. does nothing to rein her in , so perhaps the least we could do is go after her Facebook organizing site ?

oh , and did I forget to mention ?......
At that point, all hell is breaking loose, the earth is being destroyed, 2/3 of the earth’s population is dying, all civilization is literally being destroyed, and things come to a culmination with the Messiah of Israel returning to earth and killing millions more people upon his return and setting up his one-world government, where he rules from Jerusalem as ruler over all the nations of earth, and what little is left of them.
The new system is nothing like the old system. All wars and weapons are eliminated, the US constitution and the Bill of Rights, contained within, is eliminated. Justice and punishment is instant and there is no appeal. The Messiah of Israel rules with a rod of iron! The entirety of society is forcefully and completely cleaned up!
I can assure you that a lot of people who are alive today will not like living in that “new world order”!
But, that is and will be the Kingdom of God on this earth.
Did you see the size of her arms! Her poor husband...if she has one!
