Obama to Netanyahu: “I expect Israel to stop all its military actions unilaterally”

Jul 29, 2014 3:26 pm By Robert Spencer

ObamaNetanyahuTranscript1ObamaNetanyahuTranscript2ObamaNetanyahuTranscript3UPDATE: It’s accurate — it comes from a tape leaked to the media.

UPDATE 2: On the other hand, the Administration is denying the authenticity of this transcript, however much it rings true:

We have seen reports of an alleged POTUS-Netanyahu transcript; neither reports nor alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality 1/2

— @NSCPress (@NSCPress) July 29, 2014


———-

Channel 1 in Israel has just published a segment of a recent conversation between Obama and Netanyahu. If this is an accurate transcription, it’s astonishing — for Obama’s rudeness, for his absolute unwillingness to engage Netanyahu’s points about Hamas being a terror organization dedicated to Israel’s destruction, and his demand that Israel submit, make concessions, and accept Qatar and Turkey as mediators. (Thanks to Silvia)

Obama: I demand that Israel agree to a unilateral ceasefire and stop all offensive actions — especially air strikes.

Netanyahu: What will Israel get for stopping the fire?

Obama: I believe Hamas will stop the rocket firing — quiet for quiet.

Netanyahu: Hamas broke all five previous ceasefires. It’s a terror organization dedicated to Israel’s destruction.

Obama: I repeat that I expect Israel to stop all its military actions unilaterally. The destruction pictures from Gaza are distancing the world from Israel’s standpoint.

Netanyahu: Kerry’s offer was completely unrealistic and offered Hamas military and political advantages.

Obama: Within a week after Israel stops its military actions, Qatar and Turkey will start negotiating with Hamas based on the 2012 understandings, among them Israel’s commitment to lift the siege and limitations of Gaza.

Netanyahu: Qatar and Turkey are Hamas’ greatest supporters. It’s impossible to trust them to be fair mediators.

Obama: I trust Qatar and Turkey…Israel is not in a position to choose the mediators.

Netanyahu: I caution that Hamas will be able to continue to launch rockets and use tunnels for terror attacks….

Obama: (cutting off Netanyahu) The ball is in Israel’s court and it has to stop all its military actions.

    If that is not the greatest betrayal of a loyal ally, on the one hand, and the free world in general on the other, I don’t know what is. A total disgrace.

      Obama also betrayed Mubark, the President of Egypt knowing that it was likely that the Muslim Brotherhood jihadists would rule Egypt. No ally of the USA can trust Obama.

    Robert, can you change the word diplomatic in “diplomatic” advantages with “political” advantages?

    Done.

    And many thanks for this.

    A “senior US official” leaked an audio recording of a telephone conversation between Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to Channel One.

    Kudos to the US official who leaked the tape.

    “I trust Qatar and Turkey”

    Obama doesn’t trust the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Fox News, or his own military advisers, but he does trust the Muslim Brotherhood’s (HAMAS is MB) biggest state supporters.

    “Israel is not in a position to choose the mediators.”

    What an arrogant and ridiculous position to take. Reminds me of “Assad must go,” or “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Being an actual party to the potential ceasefire, Israel’s position is one of two which matters. Obama is openly on the side of HAMAS, in private anyway.

    • Blangwort says

      Jul 30, 2014 at 7:22 am

      Gee. The same Turkey that is launching another “aid mission” to Gaza? No, there can’t be any bias there.

      Israel may not be in a position to choose their mediators, but they can choose whether mediation is even necessary. What’s the point of mediating anything with an enemy that has broken cease fire after cease fire?

      Israel should aim for total disarmament of Gaza. A regime change would be nice, but that’s something for the people of Gaza to decide.

    Someone at Channel One needs to make copies of that tape and send it to news organisations everywhere. The Israeli government is tweeting denials of its authenticity; someone’s getting to them.

    • Jovial Joe says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 4:12 pm

      The Israeli government’s denials are carbon copies of the administrations. That suggests to me that they’ve been told to issue denials by the DoS and the Israelis want us to know exactly who’s told them while not issuing any denial in their own words.

    obama is a dangerous crazy-maker due to his support of Hamas …and Netanyahu is doing the right thing by taking a stand against this evil man: obama.

    Go Israel!!! …finish the job and destroy Hamas!

    Anybody following what ISIS is doing to the Christians in Iraq? It’s a massacre and it’s on videotape:

    http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/river-of-blood-copy.jpg

    4 minutes and 38 seconds of ISIS soldiers executing young Iraqi men, while these young men plead for these lives. HORRIFYING FOOTAGE. Be forewarned.

    I’m gonna go and get on my knees and pray. This is genocide. On tape.

      Take a good look, this is what Muslims will do to the Jews of Israel as well if they get the chance, but I think somewhere in their sick hearts Obama, his Muslim allies Hamas, and all of the leftists shills know this.

    “The ball is in Israel’s court and it has to stop all its military actions.”

    Israel doesn’t HAVE to do anything except act in its own best interests.

    “I demand that Israel agree to a unilateral ceasefire and stop all offensive actions — especially air strikes.”

    Translation: “My fellow Muslims are losing. Badly”

    “FU, Mr. President.”

    I think a cage match could settle this dispute between the 64 year old Netanyahu and the 52 year old Obama. If Obama wins, Netanyahu stops bombing. If Netanyahu wins, Obama agrees to keep his Marxist muslim mouth shut and let Israel finish this decisively.

    • Joseph says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 5:44 pm

      Netanyahu wins and it’s not even close. Forget about their respective ages. Few people know this, but Bibi was trained [personally, in-house] by a member of the ruthless “Golani Brigades” and is a trained killer. You’ve heard of FIGHT? “Fierce Israeli Guerrilla Hand-to-Hand Tactics”? Mr. Prime Minister is trained to kill. Not play.

      He would have Affirmative Action Barry’s trachea in his hand after about 30 seconds of “fighting”. Then he’d walk away as Barry’s limp body fell to the floor. Not pretty, but very effective. Israeli’s don’t fight. They kill.

      • Daniel Triplett says

        Jul 29, 2014 at 9:27 pm

        Affirmative Action Barry will no doubt show up to the fight with his bicycle helmet and mom jeans.

      Should Bibi be hogtied prior to the match? Might at least give it the appearance of Barry having a chance in hell. 8P

        Yes, that would probably make it more fair.

    Jul 29, 2014 at 5:25 pm

    The annihilation of Hamas and the MB is the only hope of peace in that region.
    The vast majority of Egyptians and El-Sisi want peace, and have realised who stands in the way.

    “If this is an accurate transcription, it’s astonishing…”

    If…

    Well, not that it would surprise me if such conversation took place, but to be convinced I would need to hear the tapes rather than read transcripts. It is very easy to produce a transcript of anything if you have a word processor, but to create an audio hoax is a very different matter. So where can one hear the tapes?

        • Richie says

          Jul 29, 2014 at 5:54 pm

          it seems at this point Muslims can kill and oppress Jews, Christians, Hindus and Buhdists, drive them from their native lands, openly call for their deaths- yet somehow, Muslims are always painted as victims, muslims are always allowed to frame the narrative.

          The west is in a war with an enemy that people are unwilling to name- if the west is that frightened, then we have already lost

    • Joseph says

      Jul 29, 2014 at 5:59 pm

      Obama? How about Pope Francis? Or ANY Catholic Church leader? I am a Catholic and I am appalled by the deafening SILENCE from my church on all of this. The ostensible reason is that they don’t want to cause more Muslim attacks and Christian deaths as a result. But we all know that that is only cowardice finding excuses. Pure and simple.

      Pope Francis needs to grow a pair and stand up. He needs to LEAD the Church and the world by speaking CLEARLY about the TRUE nature of Islam. That it is the anti-Christ religion and that ALL Christians need to unite NOW to oppose this diabolical cult of death. Instead, we get this from the Roman Pontiff:

      “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence” [Evangelii Gaudium #253].

      Thanks, Frank. You’re a big help.

      Pope St. Leo the Great stood up to Attila the Hun, outside Rome, as the latter threatened to attack and destroy the city. Still waiting on Francis’ response to Islam and its unrelenting genocide against Christians today.

      So, yeah, of course, Obama is a tool. But he’s just another Muslim Imam. What should we expect? But the Pope??

      • Daniel Triplett says

        Jul 29, 2014 at 9:39 pm

        Agreed Joseph.

        The Pontiff should be in front on this Crusade instead of apologizing for the Devil.

        Brave Christians are dying for Jesus, refusing to denounce Him. They need more than a simple prayer from the Pope; they need his action.

        • Joseph says

          Jul 29, 2014 at 10:24 pm

          Yessir. We must reinvent the spirit of Christian militancy. Knights of Malta, Knights Templar, the Crusades, etc. Otherwise, we will simply let the Muslims kill us all. Is that what God would want? I should think not.

          I say: in whatever way possible, Christians of every stripe should band together against our common enemy: Islam. And fight it to the death wherever it is found. You don’t coddle a sworn enemy; you exterminate them. So let’s stop pretending Islam is anything other than the anti-Christ religion that it clearly is and start finding ways completely to eradicate it from this earth.

          Or die trying.

          I’m with you Brother.

          I spent 6 years in combat for the USAF in Afghanistan/Iraq. There was never a doubt in my mind we were Crusaders fighting Satan in a Holy War.

          It’s about time freedom loving people everywhere figure that out too and get on board.

        Jul 29, 2014 at 9:56 pm

        Unfortunately, Pope Francis hasn’t a clue about Islam and it is not that the Vatican lacks the means to instruct him. There is a Jesuit priest who teaches in Rome and is a native of Egypt who has written a book about Islam which is very correct, plus bishops and Nuntios make reports to the Vatican. When he was AB of Buenos Aires and when Pope Benedict made his remards about religion and violence and the Muslim world went bersek, he stated that he had a different opinion on the matter and with what Pope Benedict said the whole effort at interreligious dialogue with Islam had been scuttled. Just another proof of his ignorance about Islam, because dialogue with them is impossible as they expect the other party to accept their position as the starting point.
        As for other Popes, many of them opposed Islam, like St. Pius V, who not only prayed the rosary during the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, but he sent his fleet to take part in it (in those days the Pope had his state and armed fources). Then at the gates of Vienna on the 11th of September of 1683 when he Turks were routed thanks to the surprise attack of the Polish army under its King Jan Sobieski, Pope Innocent, also Blessed, was very involved in the diplomatic efforts at getting an army together to resist the Turks. The French Sun King and the King of Prussia (protestant) did’t raise a finger to save Europe from Islamic barbarity in those days.
        Pope Francis needs a crash course in Islamic history and also to take note of what his predecessors did, one of them Blessed and the other a canonized saint.

        • Joseph says

          The present pontiff is a modern SJ, codeword for progressive. The Roman Catholic Church is infested with progressives at all levels from top to bottom. Unfortunately, it would appear that progressives are running the Vatican – and has been for a number of decades.

    If this is real, this is the most blatant example yet of Obama’s full support of the jihadists. I think Obama will try and call for military action against Israel- if that happens, I hope the military refuses. Obama needs to be impeached and brought up on charges

      Thing I’d like to see: Canada and Australia and the Czech Republic and maybe Modi’s India (suggest it to PM Modi, dear Indian jihadwatchers lurking and reading here) issuing invitations to PM Netanyahu to come visit their countries (once the IDF has finished hammering Hamas into the ground, and has dug up every last tunnel, and destroyed every last rocket stash, bomb factory and ammo dump in Gaza) and to **address their parliaments in person as an honoured guest**.
