The White House on Saturday defended Israel’s right to defend itself against attack and decide how to respond to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, blaming the ruling Islamic militant Hamas group for starting the conflict.

Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are in agreement that a de-escalation of the violence is preferred, provided that Hamas stops sending rocket into Israel, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters during the president’s flight on Air Force One to Asia. …

It is a setup. Wait and see.

the white house is a liar!

deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters

This guy pops out of the woodwork, says his piece, is labeled "the White House" in the headline, and then disappears again.

Meantime, Obama himself has been criticizing Israel. And said nothing when the UN blamed Israel for the millionth time. And just a while ago, about the time those rockets were being fired from the Sinai, supposedly controlled now by Egypt, he praised the Muslim terrorist who is running Egypt for his dedication to peace with Israel. While the Egyptian authorities have been chanting that Israel must die.

What's wrong with this picture?

Too bad the US Constitution can’t properly defend itself.

[oldbrowser]

In other words, they are on their own.

If Obama intended any support, it would have said so.

[Jyotishi]

Yes Israel is being drawn into a war with encouragement from Hussain.

[Tzimisce]

Israel has a right to defend itself.

And I’m going to cut taxes.

And I’m going to reduce the deficit.

And I’m going to cut government spending.

And Americans have an absolute right to firearms.

Israel has the right to defend itself= NSS!

Who slipped Barack the mellow weed?

[Olog-hai]

Goodness. No wonder Cornel West called the POTUS a “republican” et cetera . . .

[no-to-illegals]

Once in a while what is expected happens. Other times the unexpected comes. Knowing Israel and knowing our zer0, the contrast is expected and unexpected which is a contradiction of good verses evil. Believe Israel knows what to expect. zer0, not so much. The liar tries to hide.

Here comes the butt, and I don’t mean the wookie!

[Olog-hai]

Must be a Choom Gang reunion.

[GeronL]

Israel should announce that it recognizes Gaza as an independent nation and then announce the rocket attacks are an act of war and declare war on Gaza and then send in the tanks and Apache’s

[rawcatslyentist]

"I will stand with them (the mooses) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." BHO.

Liar now or then?

Israel hasn’t the gonads to protect itself or there would be no Gaza strip.
