A top Israeli official wants President Barack Obama to stop meddling with the Jewish state during its conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Speaking to Israel’s Army Radio, Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel criticized Obama telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there should be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
“Leave us alone,” Ariel told Army Radio, directing his words at Obama. “Go focus on Syria.”
Obama spoke with Netanyahu Sunday about the rising number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza and the worsening humanitarian crisis.
“Building on Secretary Kerry’s efforts, the President 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,” the White House said in a statement, adding that the president reiterated that Israel has a right to defend itself from rocket attacks from Hamas.
Ariel told Army Radio that Israel’s offensive should be more aggressive. “It was obvious that international pressure would mount eventually,” Ariel stated. “We should have acted faster, harder and with more determination. The rocket threat needs to be tackled. The tunnel threat is being addressed, but it is not enough.” Ariel claimed that the pressure from the White House for an immediate ceasefire was “outrageous” and would “help Hamas,” according to Breitbart News.

Could it be time to take our checkbook and bolt Israel?
Shortly after Obama was elected he traveled to some function in Russia where very many Russian officials refused to shake hands with him.
The Israelis are rightfully valid in telling him to “buzz off.”
He has nothing good in store for Israel. Nothing at all.
If Obama had spent every minute golfing since the beginning of his “reign”, the whole world would be better off...
Egypt said the same thing to BHO. Being a US ally isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be anymore.
You mean Hamas and Putin wouldn’t have acted up?
Ditto
Being an Obama ally means getting your gifts returned, spied on & betrayed to your enemies.
Might as well. We have betrayed every other small ally who trusted us in the last forty years. Taiwan, you're next.
could it be that Obama will suddenly see the light and actually offer to help Israel repel and finally defeat Obama’s aggressive IslamoNazi comrades in arms?
this could be his one clear chance to reverse course and do something decent while he’s still in our WH
?
It is entirely possible that if BO abandons both Israel and Egypt, then Putin will step in to fill the void.
Putin may be a thug, even a worse thug than BO, but he isn't a Muslim.
Speak for yourself loser
Barak is upset his Muslim brothers are getting their butts kicked.
Israel should continue until Hamas is completely defeated and driven out of Gaza. Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are common enemies for both Israel and Egypt. Once driven out, there will no longer be land access to Gaza. At that point Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian people will all be better off.
Better for Israel to tell Obama to stop funding the IslamoNazi terrorists like Hamas (and to stop sending them and their state sponsors in places like Qatar and Libya billions and billions of dollars of new American weapons!)
He is not just speaking for the Israelis. He is speaking for me too!
Israel has plenty of money. Time for them to put on their big boy pants.
(They could save a lot of money if they ended government-funded abortions and universal health care).
Is there like a USO for the Israeli Defense Forces one can contribute to?
