Obama: Israel has right to defend itself
2014-07-28
[Iran Press TV] The US president says Israel has the right to defend itself against Paleostinian resistance forces. Barack Obama
I am the change that you seek...
also calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.

The White House, in a statement, said Obama made the remarks in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the White House, Obama "made clear the strategic imperative of instituting an immediate, unconditional humanitarian ceasefire that ends hostilities now and leads to a permanent cessation of hostilities based on the November 2012 ceasefire agreement."

He "reiterated the United States' serious and growing concern about the rising number of Paleostinian civilian deaths and the loss of Israeli lives, as well as the worsening humanitarian situation in Gazoo," the statement added.

#8  ...an Iranian by birth.

Not quite. She spent her childhood in Iran, where her father was working, but her parents are American, and therefore so is she. She clearly absorbed certain attitudes, though.

#6  Don't forget Champ's 'top master advisor' is ValJar - an Iranian by birth. Iran backs Hamas.

#5  In making this statement, Champ is helping Hamas. Khaled Mashal was shown on CBS's 60 Minutes last night refusing to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist. It is clear for all to see that Hamas does not want peace and will violate any ceasefire. There is no point in attempting to negotiate with mad dogs. The only way to deal with them is to keep killing them until they are all disarmed and surrender unconditionally. Champ should know this. He almost certainly does know it. So if he really believed Israel has a right to defend itself he would publicly offer Netanyahu all the help he can use and at the same time tell Hamas to go to hell. Anything short of that will only encourage the bastards. But then, Champ should know this. He almost certainly does know it. That's the whole point.

"...but we are doing everything we can to change that."

#3  "Israel has right to defend itself"

Gee, must be his white half talking.








No, that's not racist. It's a reference to the old, sarcastic, saying "That's damn white of you" when someone does an unexpectedly nice thing (tongue planted firmly in cheek)

#1  Latest poll numbers came in, and he is reacting to them. Events are inside his OODA loop. They always are.
