When US President Barack Obama phoned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday night, in the middle of a security cabinet meeting, he ended any remaining doubt regarding his policy toward Israel and Hamas.
Obama called Netanyahu while the premier was conferring with his senior ministers about how to proceed in Gaza. Some ministers counseled that Israel should continue to limit our forces to specific pinpoint operations aimed at destroying the tunnels of death that Hamas has dug throughout Gaza and into Israeli territory.
Others argued that the only way to truly destroy the tunnels, and keep them destroyed, is for Israel to retake control over the Gaza Strip.
No ministers were recommending that Israel end its operations in Gaza completely. The longer our soldiers fight, the more we learn about the vast dimensions of the Hamas’s terror arsenal, and about the Muslim Brotherhood group’s plans and strategy for using it to destabilize, demoralize and ultimately destroy Israeli society.

Under Obama, America has switched sides."
It is unbelievable to those who haven’t been following the story closely, but Carolyn Glick is exactly right.
He has exposed himself to the max.
Obama clearly wants those tunnels intact, and is furious that Israel is cutting into some deeply-laid plans made possible through years of international donations to Hamas that Obama himself has participated in.
Yep.
I read it twice. Word after word after word sinking in and hitting home.
Succinct yet comprehensive.
Well written, well argued, and in my mind, irrefutably correct.
One of the best dissections of the current crisis, and it is placed squarely in context of the administration’s proven foreign policy. This is not about who he went to dinner with or who his friends are... this is about what he has done as president.
Pray patience Israel. While this administration may have switched sides, Americans by and large have not.
I wouldn't be surprised if we find he's behind similar tunnels being constructed between our southern border and Mexico.
Between the US and Israel, it's like the same war, only it's being fought on two fronts.
no need for subterfuge, Obama is going balls out.
So strange. I had the same thought about the southern border.
LOL!
That, he does not have.. maybe Mooshell..
