WH Advisor Jarrett: Attacks on Gaza Hospitals ‘Indefensible’
Mediaite ^ | August 3, 2014 | Evan McMurry

Posted on 08/03/2014 11:03:36 AM PDT by maggief

On Face the Nation Sunday morning, senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett said that Israeli attacks on Gaza schools and hospitals were “indefensible.”

“This is why the ceasefire is so important,” Jarrett said. “It’s a devastating situation. Israel absolutely has the right to defend itself, and we are Israel’s staunchest ally. But you also can’t condone the killing of all of these innocent children.”

“I think everyone involved is frustrated,” Jarrett said. “But you can’t let your frustration get in the way of trying to be a constructive player here, and that’s what [Obama's] determined to do.”

Who the heck cares what Jarret thinks ? Why is she even being interviewed ?

Good afternoon.

Jarrett is being interviewed because she is the puppet master. Plus the only one in the regime with cajones.

Has Jarret Rasputin, or U.S. second on command, Obama, ever condemn the genocide of Christians by Muslims that is going on daily all around Africa and the Middle East.

Hey, Val, remind me again which side broke the cease fire. And the one before that, and the one before that and the one before that.

I would only be surprised if she didn’t. It doesn’t even have to be done directly. She could just selectively stay silent (the way Obama does about the Coptic Christians who are being crucified in 2014) as the brutal carnage continues.

If the chief White House advisor is not on the phone with Netanyahu then she is not fully informed.

Oh that's right. The White House gets all its news from the paper and TV.

In the quest for a lasting peace, Israel gave back Gaza to the Palestinians. Unfortunately,
“Those who ignore History are damned to repeat it” George Santayana

Hamas follows a Palestine tradition. Remember the PLO. Hussein, the king of Jordan opened the door of his country to Palestinian refugees, and in 1970 almost two-thirds of the Jordanian population was Palestinian, and how they show their gratitude, Yasser Arafat, attempted to dethrone King Hussein, to assassinate him in three occasions and to turn his army against him. He lied to the King, betrayed him.
Remember “Black September”: The Jordanian-PLO Civil War of 1970 exploded. A bloodbath ensued. Up to 15,000 Palestinian militants and civilians were killed, swaths of Palestinian towns and refugee camps, where the PLO had massed weapons, leveled, the PLO leadership decimated, and between 50,000 and 100,000 people were left homeless. King Hussein with his loyal Bedouin soldiers expelled the PLO from Jordan by early 1971.

I believe she's a Senior Advisor, someone tell the author. In charge of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. Which has nothing to do with foreign affairs, but when the Jews are acting up, everyone has to chip in.

And that's not sarcasm, she opens her mouth, based on her relationship with the President, her words are seen as coming from the administration. How much more can poor John Kerry say.

A FIRST HAND TESTIMONY FROM ISRAEL

I feel like I weigh 500 pounds.

Everyone I know feels like they are walking through water. And sad.

We are all so very, very sad.

This is what I know right now, today:

The ugliness, the venom and sheer, violent hatred you are seeing in Paris, London, Berlin, LA, Boston, Denver…. This is just the beginning.

We Jews are the canaries in the coal mine for all of humanity. Today, they are throwing bricks at synagogues and smashing chairs and saying “Kill the Jews.”

Tomorrow it will be someone else.

Do the French really think these people will protect and safeguard the treasures of the Louvre?

Do Londoners really think these people will cherish the symbols of the British Empire?

Does anyone really think this is only about Israel and the disputed territories?

Today it is Israel, tomorrow it will be you.

Maybe that is why everyone gets so disproportionately annoyed about this conflict.

Because everyone knows after us it gets real personal…

Seeing these violent protests, hearing the sickening screams for death we Israelis understand better than ever we must fight for every square inch and with all we have.

It matters not how much better our military is, how much more precise our targets can be.

It only matters that when the smoke clears Hamas is disarmed, destroyed, disabled and defeated. Forever.

Hamas. NOT the people of Gaza.

The majority of Israeli citizens feels so very sorry for them. Sorry they were misguided and elected these lunatics.

Sorry that in their desperation they allowed Hamas to fill the empty bedrooms next to their children’s room with rockets. Sorry that their leaders have mansions and swimming pools and are sitting in air conditioning in another city while they are sweating and wondering where the roof over their houses went. (If not their house itself.) Sorry that they have been brought up with no inkling of who Israelis are nor what compromise is.

Defeating Hamas will be a big problem for the power brokers because shame and honor are all that matter in this part of the world.

Honor in the Middle East does not come from whether your children are literate, how successful you are, how much money you make, how civilized your community is, nor how many paved roads you have, and whether or not you have garbage collection and recycling.

Here in this part of the world- for Hamas,

Honor comes from killing Jews/Israelis and getting revenge each time we retaliate.

For them killing a Jew/ Israeli is everything.

For them killing Jews is the only thing.

Remember we left Gaza. There was no blockade. They were free to build a model democracy- the first successful shining, taste of the new, proud Palestine. But they didn’t want that kind of success…

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

We will not be fooled again.

We have nowhere else to go.

And the rockets won’t stop.

The folks living in the Southern parts of Israel up to Ashkelon, cannot shower, have a bowel movement, get more milk or walk a dog without wondering if they are taking their lives in their own hands.

There is another Gaza underneath Gaza.

Hamas could have built hundred of schools, paved thousands of roads, build hundreds of kindergartens with the cement and iron they got from Israel and which they have used to build these underground bunkers and tunnels.
(and you wondered why Israel put a blockade on bringing building supplies into the Gaza strip?)

These tunnels to hell are filled with ammunition.
And no women or children, not a single elderly person is brought to safety there.

They want them on the street- on the roof, standing right behind- nice and close to the terrorist firing the rocket.
Hamas has refused to let journalists out of Gaza.

Why? They need them to take pictures and record the carefully staged piles of bloody children and women. If the journalists leave they have lost the vehicle for distributing their bloody ad campaign.

Hamas asked for a cease-fire. And they broke it. They break every single one.

Israel set up a massive field hospital to treat our enemies. From a week ago and on, there is a working maternity ward, an operating room…a working hospital.
For who?… For our enemies.

We are going to lose more boys. We have lost more than 56 young men. Today the kidnaped a young officer. With each day we are going to lose more.

But everyone here now understands this is a fight to the death. It is them or us.

They don’t want to compromise and they don’t want peace or to share or to negotiate. They want to kill as many Jews as possible, even if it means killing their own people.

So we have to go in there and do things none of us want to do, but we have to.

So this is why we are all so sad.

Israelis want peace so badly.

But we also desperately want to live. We love life and we are not about to let anyone, let alone a bunch of deranged thugs take it away from us.

So yes, this is a fight to the death for both sides.
Remember, if they win, you are next.

When we will win, those symbols of civilization that everyone takes so for granted will remain standing and everyone will criticize and complain about disproportionate responses and war crimes and all kinds of other irrelevant nonsense, but secretly I think everyone will be heaving a sigh of relief.

The Iranian wouldn't be anti-semitic, would she?

Surely Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. & Valerie "Hamas" Jarrett wouldn't want to see the annihilation of Israel? Huh?

Even one would be too many. If America survives another ten years, we won’t recognize it.
