Israeli soldiers pose on the floor to spell out 'Bibi loser' as insult to Netanyahu

'After nights of relentless pounding by rockets and a rising death toll, the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers has been tentatively welcomed by civilians on both sides.

But it appears the truce was not a pleasing outcome to a group of battle-hungry Israeli soldiers which wanted to carry on the fighting and invade the Gaza Strip.

To spell out their frustration, 16 Israeli Defence Force soldiers arranged their uniformed bodies on the ground, to spell out the Hebrew words 'Bibi loser' in an angry reference to Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu.

The photo has now gone viral causing the IDF to investigate - a spokesperson said it frowned upon soldiers expressing political opinions while in uniform.

While there have been calls for the soldiers in the photo to be court-martialled, others have agreed with their frustration after IDF were instructed to prepare for battle and then told to stand down, reported the Times of Israel.'

BiBi was forced to do this by the Clinton/Obama foreign policy. Meanwhile the Gazans claim victory saying that they forced the Israelis into a truce. They truly do have a mental disease.

I think that Israel has bigger fish to fry right now. An invasion in Gaza now would cause rockets from Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Gaza in retaliation.....while they are trying to get ready for an attack on Iran. Israel needs to attack Iran FIRST, QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY. The rockets of retaliation from adjacent lands will happen anyways and Israel can handle that after Iran has been neutralized.

PM Netanyahu likely has his reasons:

- Iron Dome works, let's get some US-funded re-supply for next time
- Maybe we can talk Obama into supplying us with something else (bunker busters, Spectre gunships, etc??)
- How ready were our reservists this time when we called them up, are they ready for the real thing?
- Did our pilots get enough bombing practice, are they ready for next time?
- Let's watch Hamas re-supply and target where they are doing so for next time
- Hamas leaders are coming out of their spider holes for the cameras, let's track their locations for next time

"Israel's gonna keep fiddle fartin around till a nuclear Iran."

If they fiddle much longer, they are going to be destroyed. Obama is clearly backing the Muslim Brotherhood and the spread of Islamic radicalism. He has been instrumental in deposing secular regimes in the Middle East and North Africa as a prelude to the establishment of the Muslim dream of a Greater Caliphate. The Caliphate will unite to attack Israel with Obama's tacit support and then will move on to subvert and attack the rest of the West.

Good for them. Netanyahu betrayed the nation with cowardice by elevating a terrorist group to equal status with a democracy via a “cease fire”.

Obama/Clinton forbade the ground invasion. Bibi needed spare parts and to pick his battle carefully for the next war, the big one.

But now it appears that the Egyptians have their own problems to worry about. Seems as though, some of those folks aren’t really liking the MB running their country.
