Obama pushed Israel to accept Egyptian cease-fire agreement friendly to Hamas

What a surprise. "Obama pushed Israel to accept Egyptian cease-fire agreement friendly to Hamas," by Neil Munro for the Daily Caller, November 21:

President Barack Obama pressured Israel’s prime minister to adopt a cease-fire agreement with Hamas that was pushed by Hamas’ Egyptian ally, according to a White House statement released on Wednesday.

Obama “commended [Israel’s] Prime Minister for agreeing to the Egyptian ceasefire proposal – which the President recommended the Prime Minster do,” said the 12.31 a.m. EST statement from the White House.

The cease-fire terms released by Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi’s office do not mention any binding curbs on its ally Hamas, nor any guarantees that would prevent another wave of Hamas rocket attacks against Israel....

In contrast to the applause given to Morsi, the White House statement about Obama’s phone call with Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was guarded.

“The President expressed his appreciation for the Prime Minister’s efforts to work with the new Egyptian government to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and a more durable solution to this problem,” said the statement, which did not include any mention of Obama thanking Netanyahu for agreeing to the cease-fire proposal....

Of course not.

Netanyahu is a real mouse when it comes to the US.

This agreement will very quickly be overtaken by events (OBE). The events will be hamas firing more rockets.

From Bibi's perspective, this agreement is his cover to invade gaza when the rockets start getting lobbed into Israel again. He can say he went the extra mile for peace, but hamas wanted war. How many agreements have the various and sundry islamic terrorist groups violated over the years? Answer: all of them.

Anybody want to set up a pool as to how many hours the "cease-fire" lasts before the rockets start being fired from Gaza again?

“The President expressed his appreciation for the Prime Minister’s efforts to work with the new Egyptian government to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and a more durable solution to this problem”
..................

Of course, for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the only "durable solution" to the problem is the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of the Jews.

..................

Of course not. I'm starting to think that Obama agrees with the "solution" the Muslims favor...

No need to do that. 12 rockets have already been fired. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4310174,00.html

Just when, not if, palestine will commit July 4th shortly, again. I figure they got a (sic) itchy-twitchy trigger finger to get on with the softening up of Israel, which is I believe their first goal, before a combined arab state attack again, to get to their caliphate goin', no matter their own fate, (you know, the “we love death, more than you love life” kinda thing. Could be a few days, but I doubt it. They got around 12k rounds of rockets left, at least, and who knows about the CBN! Maybe it'll take a day or two of no local palestine explosions to load CBN on a war head or two, who knows.

All the timing is dependent on how "flexible" with treats, sweets, and bribes shrillary of rottingham, and prince "robbing hood" hussein were. Other than those secret agreements and bribes, the iranians, egypt and palestine can hardly hold their breath long enough to get on with the imagined take down of their oh so delusionally 1400 year long target---da wascally wascally Jooooooooos, in their own real Home Land, yet. The one Biblically given to the Jewish peoples, 3000 years ago, or thereabouts.

Problem is, with the lesser stature of America, than say oh, about 6 years ago, how long before they lose faith in the bribes. And then there is the classic "agreement" pffffft behavior of islam, "what agreement, we don't need no stinkin' agreement anymore". Think of how bitter the taste is in the islamics mouths, for being in even a short term agreement again with the people their millennial goals.

Ye see, they got this little caliphate bug buzzing around in their little brains, yeah they’re small enough brains the bug buzzes around in the empty space in the skull, and it jes keeps making ‘em just go delusional, and they’ll do anything like dragging bodies behind their motor bikes, and all kinda bad and crazy things, like lighten’ up rockets, which give ‘em a special kick like 4th of July. And when the califate bug gets tired and sits down for a rest on the brain, ho boy, look out. That really gives ‘em the itch to get on with it. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

GI, as a sunni, that's his team he's rootin' for, right?

Hey, they probably had extra long fuses, you know, long delay fuses, that were lit before the cease fire took effect, so of course they didn't break the truce yet, not!

Since the US admin and the international community abhors military victory in at least asymmetrical war, this cycle is a perfect set up for a repeat, again and again.

Did anyone hear about the attack on Metullah by Lebanon just after Hillary made her announcement in Cairo?
Muqata live blogged it and my Israeli friend is really upset that the news is ignoring it.
No surprise that they would...

What do you expect. For four years everything done by the white house has been to benefit muzlims over anyone else. bho is muzlim and uses taqia like old moohammed taught him. elections have consequences. unfortunately american jews have condemned israeli jews to a life of terror for another 4 years, if they survive that long. pray for your liberal, communist jewish friends. there will be a very special place in hell waiting for them.

This is a fairly long excerpt from this article in the American Thinker.
Breaking: Gaza Ceasefire to take effect Tonight
(And The Back Story) by Rob Miller.
"...The deal basically takes effect at 8pm. ..."

Now here's what actually happened.

"According to a couple of my notorious lil' birdies who are very much in a position to know, the Israelis fully intended to go into Gaza and eradicate Hamas. A country like Israel doesn't call up that many reserves and affect its economy unless they are serious about the matter."

But then the Obama Administration intervened.

" They were perfectly happy for Israel to go into Gaza and take out Hamas, but then insisted that they then turn Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority. This was supposed to strengthen PA President Mahmoud Abbas as Palestine's savior. As a kicker, President Obama insisted that Israel immediately declare a Palestinian State in Gaza and most of Judea and Samaria, including areas currently under Israeli sovereignty from which the Jewish residents would then be removed.
These were also to be turned over to Abbas.
If the Israelis were unwilling to have the I D F do Mahmoud Abbas' dirty work for him, and then give up large areas populated by Jews, the Obama Administration told the Israelis the U S would not back an I.D.F. ground assault in Gaza.

So the Israelis took the ceasefire...." Read it all in the American Thinker.

So Jewdog and everyone else yapping at the Prime Minister's heels, Mr. Netanyahu is not a real mouse when it comes to the U S. He actually upset Mr. Obama's applecart and turned his well laid plan on its head.

I am greatly reassured by the fact that Mr. Netanyahu is hated by Mr. Obama and other world leaders and even by left wing Israelis.I dread to think what would have happened if Ehud Barak, or Ehud Olmert or M/S Livni or Shimon Peres were Prime Minister at this crucial moment in Israels history.

Be grateful that you have a proud and stiff necked Jew at the helm.

In 1067 it was the US that stopped Israel from completing the invasions of Gaza.
Now you can see what that brought to the region.
It was US led NATO that removed the stability in the region by helping the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

When will the US stop screwing things up ??
The only solution is to flatten Gaza.
A poll just showed 64% of Gazans don't want a long ceasefire !

Obama the worst President in history ! Failed foreign policy and monetary & fiscal policies !

what next?

The same government that caved to the media and the Schalit Task Force by releasing 1,027 terrorists from prison last year has caved yet again—this time despite the fact that Hamas violated red lines by shooting missiles at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

The implications:

– The ceasefire that was forced on Israel is precisely what Hamas needed to show off as proof of a victory, irrespective of what Israeli government spokespeople may be saying.

– Even aside from deceiving them about destroying Hamas, the government has set a new standard for relations with its citizens. Israelis will continue to live, and potentially die, with a newly formalized status quo in which Hamas rockets are taken for granted.

– Hamas remains armed and dangerous.

– The Islamic world has seen that the price of intolerable violence to Israeli citizens is tolerable.

– Iran, which closely followed developments, has again gotten a good look at the “spiderwebs” of which the Israeli government’s staying power famously reminded Hizballah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Fortunately, the heart of Israeli society is much stronger than the politicians, as demonstrated by the speed and spirit with which reservists, called up or not, reported for duty on the outskirts of Gaza.

– If the Israelis concessions reported by Hamas are true—and for the most part they are—then they are cause for concern. According to Hamas, Israel agreed to end targeted assassinations in exchange for an end to rocket fire, to end defensive Israeli incursions into Gaza, to open the crossings and allow people and goods (and thus smuggled munitions) into Gaza, and to allow fishermen (and thus munitions smugglers) to move freely off of Gaza. Surely enough, an Egyptian source confirmed that “the agreement calls for an end to assassinations and invasions by Israel, as well as easements of movement for Palestinians at the crossings starting several months after the ceasefire enters force.”
