The White House on Friday blasted Hamas for violating a 72-hour cease-fire agreement, calling the abduction of an Israeli soldier “barbaric.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest acknowledged reports that Hamas had used the cease-fire as cover to carry out an attack on Israeli soldiers.

“That would be a rather barbaric violation of the cease-fire agreement,” Earnest said on CNN’s “New Day.” “Hamas is entirely responsible for upholding their end of the bargain, and it’s apparent that they did not do that."

“Hamas is entirely responsible for upholding their end of the bargain”

Has Hamas ever, even once, since it was formed...honored a cease fire?

Why on earth would you expect something different now.

Maybe this was just the actions of lone wolf extremists with no connection to any terrorist organizations or possibly even WORKPLACE VIOLENCE!

“Barbaric “ seems to be the Administration’s new favorite word.

Well, I’m guessing that’s what the cabal in the White House is probably concocting as a backstory. WH has a script, and somebody, some Muslim somewhere didn’t read it and the Prez is understandably pissed.

I would state with confidence that EVERY cease fire since 1948 was broken by an attack on Israel.

No one, but NO ONE, believes anything coming out of the White (Out) House.

The only believable thing emanating from that sewer hole is the stench.

I’m sure Hamas is shaking in their boots knowing they actually lost Josh Earnest now. < /sarc >

Seriously when (if ever) are these fools going to realize neither side cares what we, the US, does or says anymore? Our authority as a leader has been thoroughly vanquished by our own incompetence.

If this was Bubba Clinton, I’d say he was trying to triangulate the situation. Since it’s Obama, I’d have to say the pres is confused about the situation because he’s not smart enough to understand what’s going on, and reading about it makes his brain hurt.

Of course they’ll still blame it on Israel.

“That would be a rather barbaric violation of the cease-fire agreement,” Earnest said on CNN’s “New Day.”

It “would be a rather barbaric violation...?” Would be IF WHAT? How about IT IS A BARBARIC VIOLATION OF THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT??? F’ing morons, they can’t even speak the unvarnished truth when it smacks them in the face.

“Hamas is entirely responsible for upholding their end of the bargain, and it’s apparent that they did not do that.”

REALLY? You mean the the eviiiiiiil JOOOOOOOOS are not responsible for Hamas terrorists coming through a tunnel to kidnap an Israel soldier after killing several more? Wow, who woulda thunk it? Thanks, Josh, for clearing that up, oh Master of the Obvious.
