Israeli Official To Obama: ‘Leave Us Alone’
CBS DC ^ | July 29,2014

Posted on 07/29/2014 9:05:03 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

I don’t know of any past presidents who took their “marching orders” from their faiths other than personal ones. Obama is so conflicted with his upbringing in the Islamic faith, he is unable to function as an American. He is a Muslim....Israel is wary of this Mulatto Muslim in sheep’s clothing...who can blame them. Obama aids the terrorist enemy Hamas with our tax dollars...Hamas = Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia law; Israel = freedom.

Because Israel tells Obama to go F himself????

This just popped up for you as the thing we need to do?

If I agreed with your pointy head idea, I would avoid doing it on a thread like this. There’s no way I’d make a move related to this issue that seemed to back Obama’s play.

Obama gets and insult, and here you are to the rescue. Wow.

I’d not be surprised there is a prayer rug in the Oval office somewhere pointed towards Mecca.

There isn't anything these idiots can't screw up.

Could it be time to take our checkbook and bolt Israel?

Not to make Obama happy.

Obozo assured the world when he was elected that we were merely a third rate national anyway.

We have been trying to get Barry to leave us alone for 5 years. All I can say to Israel is good luck.
