The Obama administration condemned the deadly shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza Wednesday, using tough, yet carefully worded language that reflects growing White House irritation with Israel and the mounting civilian casualties stemming from its ground and air war against Hamas.
The U.S. frustrations were compounded by a flurry of Israeli media reports this week that appeared aimed at discrediting President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who spent days trying to negotiate an unsuccessful cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. In unusually blunt language, a State Department spokeswoman on Wednesday repeatedly described one of the reports as "complete crap."
The developments injected fresh tension into the often fraught relationship between Obama and the Israeli government, while also highlighting the president's willingness to take a tougher line against the longtime U.S. ally than some of his predecessors or lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
While Obama and other top officials consistently state their support for Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas rocket fire, the White House has been making increasingly strong statements about the Palestinian civilians dying in Israeli attacks. Officials have also directly called on Israel to do more to prevent the casualties.
More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in three weeks of fighting, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. More than 50 Israelis have also died in the clashes.

Hey douchebag, how come you’ve been silent about the ethnic cleansing of Christians in Iraq? When your muzz brethren got the short end you wax indignant. But when Jews and Christians are assaulted and wiped out you are strangely silent. You’re a putz.
Probably not. The Japanese are not Mohammedan.

How come nobody’s asking why there are children at an armory?
Obama gave the money for the rockets and tunnels.
Obama thought it was such a good idea he gave Hama$$ millions of dollars to do it again.
FUBO!

Obama’s true colors (loyalties) If anyone ever had any question, or still wished to give him the “ benefit of the doubt” — that’s all over with now. Impeach!
Obama FINALLY lets loose!

I believe that line of spin is coordinated between the WH and Hamas.
There is more to this that meets the eye. I think the administration is begging for Republicans to start calling Obama a Muzzie. They are doing everything they can to provoke the Republicans so they can get that sound bite for November.
FUBO.
FUBO.
FUBO.
Repeat.
