Dear Mr. President,
We understand that you have commenced attacks via U.S. jet fighters on ISIS forces today. This attack upon an independent country causes us tremendous concern. Has not America learned from previous incursions into Iraq of the hardships imposed upon the Iraqi people?
We note that Ramadan has only recently concluded, and urge you to ensure the safety of innocents. Loss of any life is unacceptable.
Some ground rules which, as your ally, we must demand are used by all American forces in the region:
· Ensure maximum restraint. These people seek freedom and surely you do not want to cause anyone any undue harm. Have you warned the civilian population? The message of 500-pound bombs seems rather heavy-handed. These are not the actions of a nation seeking peace. We urge you to show restrain when airdropping bombs upon a nation as you did today.· If ISIS fires at you from a school or a hospital or a mosque, we expect your forces to retreat. It is unacceptable to harm anyone at all in these areas. If freedom fighters fire from these regions, they are most likely protecting loved ones. Retreat your colonialist forces.
· Immediately there should be a humanitarian ceasefire. It is the midst of August and in the hot Iraqi desert region, surely the fighters of ISIS require water. Surely, the United Nations must be consulted. If you should capture any suspected militants, ensure they are kept in air-conditioned areas.
Given the sensitivity of the United States, we are prepared together with Russias President Putin to moderate. It is in the worlds interest to have an immediate and permanent ceasefire between America and ISIS.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Netanyahu
Prime Minister of Israel
*The above is a satirical letter to President Obama from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the Iraq-ISIS crisis.
..................
Satire? This IS obamas foreign policy as long as it only applies to muslim lives.
I hear some people in America actually wish to befriend the Devils brigade. They feel Islam will prevail, they will gain popularity and everlasting peace.
yeah right
Loss of any life is unacceptable.
Loss of ISIS lives is completely acceptable and desired.
Just like restrictive gun laws stop criminals from using guns.
I almost started to think this was for real.......
Like someone else suggested, the letter describes odumbo’s policy to a “T”.
Sadly, this is the one time obama will listen to Bibi...
There’s FAR too much of a tendency in this country to “humanize” the enemy as simply misguided souls who haven’t come around to liking us.
What helped the Allies press the effort in WWII was the proper depiction of Axis leaders as bloodthirsty savages. Nowadays, we’re too fearful of offending those who side with our adversaries.
...And a letter expressing the deepest of concerns.
Yup. Keep feeding the crocodile until the only thing left to eat is you!
By then he’s grown into a 20 foot monster....
It sounds exactly like odumo’s policy. The one thing that seals it’s satire is the “signature” block at the bottom. I think Netanyahu has a different opinion.
Our fearless leader is not going to drop bombs on his buddies.
The problem with good satire is it being indistinguishable from reality. All too often, the latter is less believable.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may
come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
—Winston Churchill
