WASHINGTON — Following the quick collapse of the cease-fire in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the White House not to force a truce with Palestinian militants on Israel.
Sources familiar with conversations between Netanyahu and senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, say the Israeli leader advised the Obama administration “not to ever second guess me again” on the matter. The officials also said Netanyahu said he should be “trusted” on the issue and about the unwillingness of Hamas to enter into and follow through on cease-fire talks.
An Israeli official said the Netanyahu government viewed both Hamas and Qatar as having violated the commitment given to the U.S. and the U.N. and that it expected the international community to take practical steps as part of a “strong and swift response,” especially regarding the return of the abducted soldier.
In a phone call with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, Netanyahu vented his anger, according to people familiar with the call.
Netanyahu told Shapiro the Obama administration was “not to ever second-guess me again” and that Washington should trust his judgment on how to deal with Hamas, according to the people. Netanyahu added that he now “expected” the U.S. and other countries to fully support Israel’s offensive in Gaza, according to those familiar with the call. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name.
They said Netanyahu made similar points to Kerry, who himself denounced the attack as “outrageous,” saying it was an affront to assurances to respect the cease-fire given to the United States and United Nations, which brokered the truce.

I stand with Israel too... Thanks for the comments...
But Palestinians having their own country (far away from Israel) - and paid for by Arabs - has advantages. One is the world will find out exactly how much the Palestinian people REALLY mean to Arabs. I'm guessing ‘not much’ but I could be wrong. Iran coughs up a hunk of change to funnel money to Hamas - wouldn't they be better off if Palestinians had their own country - far far away from Israel? We could find out... actions speak louder than words...
What if Iranians use Palestinians as a way to express their hatred for Jews... and nothing more - that would be my guess. Again, I could be wrong. We would know if and when Iran refused to donate to the ‘land for Palestine’ movement...

TV is the main contributor. For 5-6 years all TV has done is shown propaganda negative towards Bush, republicans, and Christians in general. Is it any wonder that Americans vote Obama twice when all of a sudden you have most TV personalities, news, shows, talk shows, comedy, movies, and anything else on TV plugging for Obama like he is the savior of the world? Take away the media, and comedy-news shows, and the democrats lose.
If everyone on these forums would get up off their couch, get their weapons, and water the Tree of Liberty it could be saved. There will be no wholesale repentance before God. That will never happen.
Perhaps. We need some leadership with some courage, some organization, and a declaration.
There will be no wholesale repentance before God. That will never happen.
IMO, if their is no repentance, whatever comes of it will be of little benefit. Some tyrant will rise up. Ultimately, what can restrain tyranny except accountability to God? We have tyranny now because the majority of the people as well as the leadership do not fear God.
LOL, picture speaks a thousand words.
Then when there is nothing that you and I can do to change it. Why are we punished along with the rest?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I think it could easily be the other way around, the leftist slant of the TV is a result of the leftist swing in this country. Or maybe they happened concurrently.
AMEN
Amen and Amen.
