Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Obama demands that Israel accept “immediate, unconditional” ceasefire, while “strengthening the Palestinian Authority”

Jul 27, 2014 5:48 pm By Robert Spencer

obama-netanyahu2“On the call with Netanyahu, Obama stressed the need to enact a ‘sustainable ceasefire’ that both ‘allows Palestinians in Gaza to lead normal lives, and addresses Gaza’s long-term development and economic needs while strengthening the Palestinian Authority.'” On the other side would be “the disarmament of terrorist groups and demilitarization of Gaza” — but the jihad terror groups would not honor that, and Netanyahu knows it: “Hamas,” he said, “has broken five cease-fires that we accepted.” He should not accept Obama’s one-sided demand here, which would only strengthen the jihadists — like everything else Barack Obama has done.

“Obama pushes for ‘immediate’ ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,” by Laura Barron-Lopez, The Hill, July 27, 2014:

President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone on Sunday as a ceasefire with Hamas broke apart.

Obama reiterated his “strong condemnation” of rocket and tunnel attacks against Israel by the militant group Hamas, but also expressed “growing concern” about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza.

Obama called for an “immediate, unconditional” humanitarian ceasefire, according to a White House readout of the call.

Negotiations to extend a 12-hour truce broke down over the weekend. Israel says it offered to extend the ceasefire for another 24 hours, only to see new rocket fire from Gaza. Israel then resumed its own military actions in Gaza.

“Hamas has broken five cease-fires that we accepted,” Netanyahu said on Fox News Sunday. “They rejected all of them, violated all of them, including two humanitarian cease-fires in the last 24 hours.”

On the call with Netanyahu, Obama stressed the need to enact a “sustainable ceasefire” that both “allows Palestinians in Gaza to lead normal lives, and addresses Gaza’s long-term development and economic needs while strengthening the Palestinian Authority.”

Any lasting solution to the ongoing conflict would only occur with the disarmament of terrorist groups and demilitarization of Gaza, Obama said.

    Cease fire when Hamas is destroyed. NOT before then.

      That’s exactly right. And this coming from a man that can defend us. Where does he get off telling a sovereign nation how to defend itself. He needs to be impeached immediately. Where is congress ? I think we need regular protests outside their office every week till they listen. I’ll start in PA

        His hubris knows no bounds: he not only thinks he’s the king of America, he thinks he’s the king of the world.

        I’m reminded how America obtained a sustainable ceasefire from Japan. Maybe THAT would work.

      Jul 27, 2014 at 11:15 pm

      Yes, Hamas needs to be WIPED OUT!!!

      The Muslims feel enabled by the cowardice of the west, unwilling to stand up against Islam- Israel I fear is on its own- They need to destroy every last member of Hamas. Israel sure as hell won’t get help from the cowardly governments in the west, This is a matter of survival of the Jewish people!

      Muslims are openly calling for genocide against Jews- Muslims are at this very moment committing genocide against Christians

        Its madness, are people blind? Israel can’t be expected to make peace with ‘people’ who want them dead. They are dealing with barbarians who decapitate and rape as a form of entertainment.

      “Nuts” is strictly negative. I love it, Guy. This is the one word response Gen. McAuliffe gave to the Germans when they demanded the Americans surrender at the Siege of Bastogne. (BTW, the Germans were not victorious.)

    Obama called for an “immediate, unconditional” humanitarian ceasefire, according to a White House readout of the call.

    Da fuq? I can only assume the “White House readout” purposely left out that this decision came from within a haze of smoke that would make Cheech and Chong jealous and that after calling for the unconditional surrender of Israel… i mean, cease-fire, BO expressed his desire of going to White Castle because he had the munchies.

    A “sustainable” cease fire? Obama’s eco-nuttery is sliding over into his foreign policy twaddle. Perhaps a cease fire made from old tires.

  9. Richard Shetman says

    Jul 27, 2014 at 6:27 pm

    Obama reveres the sociopath Muhammad who personally decapitated 900 unarmed Jews. So he is totally comfortable with dead Jews…case closed.

  10. Richie says

    Jul 27, 2014 at 6:28 pm

    I think by now its clear as a bell which side Obama favors.

    He has said NOTHING about the genocide of Christians by Muslims, and doesn’t seem to mind Muslims by the thousands are openly calling for the killing of all Jews

    • Daniel Triplett says

      Jul 27, 2014 at 7:07 pm

      Agreed Richie. Not a word about demanding a “ceasefire” on Christian persecution.

      I’m coming to the conclusion he’s not just an opportunistic, ignorant fool. I’m beginning to believe instead he’s a calculating agent of Satan, sent from Hell at the perfect point in time so as to block Allied confrontation of Islam and provide refuge for Evil’s triumph.

      If Iran gets nukes, it’s a huge game-changer, and the World will never be the same. He obviously wants that to happen. Anything to the contrary is just lip-service.

  11. Daniel Triplett says

    Jul 27, 2014 at 6:49 pm

    Obama is a disgrace and traitor to the cause.

    I’m ashamed to say the Israelis are alone on this. They need to realize that, ignore Obama, and do whatever they need to do; World opinion be damned.

    This is a matter between God, Satan, and Netanyahu alone. I pray though that an Israeli strike on Iran will convince the American people to force Obama to join the fight.

    Those who can’t support God and Netanyahu in this Biblical struggle really ought to keep their mouths shut. He’s trying to win a war for ALL of us.

    • Jerry says

      Jul 27, 2014 at 8:36 pm

      Obama should be impeached, arrested for and charged with treason,
      given a fair trial and have an appropriate sentence meted upon him.

      Besides the damage he has inflicted and continues to inflict upon the security of the USA, he is propping up and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and is clearly aiding and abetting their openly pursuing a genocidal agenda not only against all Jews but also against al Christians, Hindus, Atheists and all other non Muslims.

      But how could have so many Americans put him in charge of the whitewash house?

      • Jerry says

    Kerry is still fighting the Vietnam War. His latest foray for the ceasefire was beyond naïve. He must think Qatar and Hamas are like North Vietnam and the Vietcong. No, they are more like Jim Jones and Adolph Hitler.
    I really can’t believe the arrogance and naivete of Obama. It’s not enough that Hamas has broken the last five ceasefires, even its own. Maybe he thinks Hamas is just another community organization in Chicago.
    These guys are idiots.

This Galoot does hate Binyamin NETANYAHU because this one of the few people who have told him just where he can stick it. As for Secretary Kerry who is a perfect “10” that is a 1 on the brain power scale with money. Because all foreign policy decisions come from La Dos Bitches Kerry is merely and talking puppet venting mouth farts.

  17. Wellington says

    Jul 27, 2014 at 8:06 pm

    Where the best of Western Civilization is concerned and how to preserve this best, Netanyahu is a giant and Obama is a midget. What Israel is fighting for is actually far more than “just” Israel; it is for the preservation of the most enlightened and noble civilization of all time—–the West. By contrast, what Hamas and their ilk are fighting for is a perpetual dark age which is guaranteed by the Isalmic theological blueprint whenever or wherever implemented, a blueprint which is an enemy of Western Civilization as much as an enemy could ever be.

    I am an American who loves his country but who increasingly despises its government. This specific dichotomy in what makes me up is due more to Barack Obama than to any other single individual. He is execrable, truly despicable, and though whether a traitor to America pursuant to a strict interpretation of the law or not, he is “at least” unambiguously a traitor to the spirit of America and what it has stood for since its founding in the late 18th century. Damn shame that such a clueless person, such an ignoramus, was ever elected to the highest office in the land. Damn shame indeed.

    I detest him as I detest Islam. Fitting combination of what to detest I submit.

    I agree with all of you. Most Canadians look at the US and wonder `what the hell were you thinking…you voted him in TWICE.` He had nothing to offer. He had no experience with economics; not smart; no integrity; no balls; no substance. He won`t do anything that will spoil the chance of democratic re-election and control. The world burns and he goes golfing. Clearly he`s controlled by the enemy. What`s happened to you people. You use to save the world. Now you can`t even save yourselves. Impeach the idiot.

      I only have one child, because I got severely screwed over in the custody fight after several hundred thousand dollars in attorneys fees. I have a hundred friends with the same story.

    Mr. President, the only “sustainable” peace between Israel and the Hamas is when the Hamas is totally defeated for ever.

    Mr President, let Israel finish the job but I guess that you don’t really want a “sustainable” peace, you want a sustainable Muslim terror.

It is his mates in HAMMAS who are breaking the ceasefires you dope not Israel.

    Mr. Triplett, ditto– on your comment – “Those who can’t support God and Netanyahu in this Biblical struggle really ought to keep their mouths shut. He’s trying to win a war for ALL of us.” It’s certainly a Biblical struggle of the first degree! Israel is the Holy Land….God chose this geographical location for His purpose. Without Israel’s existence, as it is now, it will be a void as far as morality is concerned. I not writing this comment as a policy maker….for many policy makers in the past has tried for a workable solution, but without an avail! What I would like to offer is information that has been obscured for what ever reasons I don’t know.

    I’ve always have been fascinated with the contents of U S Founding Fathers federalist papers, especially the US Declaration of Independence. Reading about its origination and the noting that this document has been the model for other founding nations in the past. Interest in finding out what other countries wording on their document contents included I read through many countries that adopted its concept.

    While reading the Israeli Document of Independence, which was drafted after the 1948 Israeli’s conflict, I became immersed with their concept of making this Jewish State a biblical landmark.

    The founders of this new nation decided to use the passage from the Old Testament as its base…..”Psalm 19:15 of the Jewish Old Testament version of the Bible, God is referred to as the “Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” In religious terms, the “Rock” means God, who protects the Jewish people and is the center of their faith, which defines their identity and consciousness. The term indicates the trust and faith of people in God, who is immutable.”

    Separation of church and state controversy:
    However, the secular minded politicians disagreed on the full wording of Psalm 19:15 where it read: “Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” To them the title ‘my Redeemer’ would indicate a theological association for which they didn’t want to pardner with.

    The final draft agreement:
    “Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion, who would become the country’s first Prime Minister, spent the morning of 14 May mediating the dispute between Rabbi Maimon and Zisling. After hours of talks, Rabbi Maimon agreed to leave out the term “Redeemer” from the text of the declaration. The compromise was included without a final vote.” The previous 2 paragraphs contains excerpts from the wikipedia web page@:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Israel#Controversy

    The coming of the Messiah: the Redeemer that the Prophets’ wrote about who came as the Lord in the name of the Jesus Christ, but who was not accepted by the Jewish people because he did not represented a kingly disposition.

    Because of the Israeli’s denial of the Redeemer, aka Jesus Christ, they have suffered Divine retribution (wars and strife)for the past 2014 years and further adding insult to the injury when they redacted the Redeemer’s title from the Israeli Document of Independence in 1948.

    Here is a list of God’s Divine retribution of the past, if we are in doubt@:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_retribution

    Let us not forget that God is a jealous God! For God will not allow man’s judgement take His place. In the account where God affirmed that Jesus was truly His Son; that took place atop Mount Tabor for the “Transfiguration” event where God said: “This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favor. Listen to him.”

    Hopingly, If Mr. Netanyahu and us would only listen to Jesus, for the sake of the Israeli’s survival; PEACE will descend with great abound to the entire Holy Land and the rest of the world!

  27. Prinz Eugen says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 10:29 am

    Hemmer from FNC asked what can be done to end the fighting? Thought all
    “journalists” went into that business to save the world and make it safer for communism and islam?

    Only way to END the conflict — defeat islam and demand unconditional surrender, the towelheads must ABANDON their crusade and koran just as the Axis powers had to abandon their dreams of conquest , and for Japan, reduce the “divinity” of their emperor!

    If islam were ever defeated, there is still the slimy communist crusade for power to deal with! Evil lurks forever, so it appear!
