Obama is "urging" Netanyahu to stop any planned ground invasion of Gaza...I'm hoping Netanyahu told him to get bent:
Though President Obama uttered immediate and firm public and private assurances that Israel has a right to defend itself from rocket attacks emanating from Gaza, administration officials have been privately urging Israeli officials not to extend the conflict, a move that many American officials believe could benefit Hamas.A protracted escalation, the officials fear, could damage Israel’s already fragile relationships with Egypt and Jordan at a time when both of those governments have been coming under pressure from their own populations.
Yes Prime Minister, please ignore the hundreds of missiles launched into your country. They really aren't hurting anybody right?
And for what? To "save" relationships with countries that want to see you obliterated from the face of the earth?
You gotta be kidding me.
This President and his policies have helped to completely destabilize the middle east and as a result Israel is completely surrounded:
• Libya is supplying Hamas with the most advanced weaponry it's ever had• Iran's Green Revolution was crushed by the Mullahs with the tacit approval of Barack Obama
• Egypt -- an ostensible ally of the U.S. and Israel -- was thrown under the bus by Barack Obama, ceding control of the country to the erstwhile Nazi-aligned Muslim Brotherhood
• Algeria and Tunisia are likewise aligning with Al Qaeda
• Jordan, Israel's last regional ally -- is also about to fall
• And Turkey, once a secular and stabilizing force in the Middle East, is now succumbing to a radical brand of Islamism. Even better: it's a member of NATO
Israel is surrounded.
Israel understands this better than anyone. Calling up 75,000 reserves shows the world that they are prepared to go to war, on two fronts, if need be. The last war with Hamas they only called up 10,000. You think they understand how different the landscape is now thanks to Obama?

There’s no “logical” reason in the world that Israel exists now. They are surrounded by their 1 billion of their enemies, and most of the world hates them. I doubt they are going away soon. They’ve survived this long. I suspect there’s something supernatural keeping them afloat.
Gee - he says Israel has a right to defend herself, but it looks like violence is out of the question....
There are no ‘civilians’ in Gaza. There are only terrorists and those who allow them to be there.
This clearly means that a ground invasion is the path to victory over Hamas.
The fact that The United Strates has always resupplied them after battles must weigh heavily on Israel. No doubt they will not be able to depend on that this time. That will leave them more vulnerable. Google “The day that Nixon saved Israel.”
