webfact Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 US prepared to broker Gaza ceasefire, says Obama WASHINGTON: -- The US is prepared to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza, President Barack Obama has said. His comments came during a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mr Netanyahu earlier said Israel's operation was progressing as planned and "more stages were expected". More than 80 Gazans have been killed since Israel's operation began on Tuesday, Palestinian officials say. There have no reports of fatalities in Israel. Israel says it hit more than 100 targets in Gaza on Thursday, while Palestinian militants have continued to fire rockets into Israel.Full story: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28258448 [bbc]2014-07-11[/bbc] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) As far as I know, president Obama has not been providing Hamas with weapons and the Palestinains are the only ones targeting civilians and encouraging their own people to act as human shields. The problem with his offer to broker a ceasefire is that neither side trusts him at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXZEzbT0H1s Edited July 11, 2014 by Ulysses G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 IDF just bombed a Palestinian cafe where some sports fans where watching the World Cup. Killed 8 civilians. They also just killed a family of 8, 5 of those being kids. Now watch the 'justifiers' come out in force! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Sad, but the head of the household was Hamas and the Israelis issued a warning first. The terrorist's family left right away and were safe, but other Palestinians rushed into the house with children, to act as human "martyrs", and were killed when the missile hit. That has happened in several other cases as well. Hamas bears the responsibility for encouraging this behavior."Hello, this is the Israeli intelligence calling, We are bombing your house; you must evacuate the house immediately."

Ulysses G. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 You need to read a few books before coming up with such ridiculous stories. Israel did not "steal" anything. The UN gave it to them and the Palestinian Arabs refused their portion of land or they would have had their own country for the first time in history. The Arabs started the conflict, started the terrorism, started all the wars and lost every single one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kleelof Posted July 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2014 Here is one way to help stop the illegal bombardment of civilians Mr Obama. Stop giving them the bombs ! Not good enough. Stop supporting Israel period. The same message is intended for all of the US lapdogs in Australia, The UK and Europe. Israel is a terrorist nation. If Israel is a terrorist nation that would mean Iran,Syria ,and Gaza are the nations of saints ? Israel has been attacking their neighbors since the 1960's. They are terrorist racists. They attack defenseless people who then have to resort to any means possible to fight back. Gaza has been at the mercy of Israel since 1948 when their land was taken to create this terrorist nation. Since then, Israel has exploited the region and its people to the point they have nothing; no resources, no jobs and no defense. All with the support of their friends in Western countries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm sure if the cops came to your house and told you you could only live in 1 room, that the rest of the house was going to be used by someone else, you'd surly protest. In a sense, Israel DID steal that land. It was stolen from the Palestinians and given to the Jews. They took the land knowing it was taken from someone else by force. Where I come from, if you knowingly accept something from someone that you know is stolen, you, too , are guilty of a crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pralaad Posted July 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> If Israel is a terrorist nation that would mean Iran,Syria ,and Gaza are the nations of saints ? Who has Iran attacked? I'm not calling them saints but Israel has been stealing Palestinian and Lebanese land through terrorist type actions ever since their inception and these people and their allies are totally justified in fighting back just as you would if it were yours or your allies land in any way they can. Exactly, Iran has not attacked anyone one, they are saints. There is no point even to bring up the fact that Iran supports all terror cells across the world with money and weapons. No point to bring up the fact that Iran sends its sheep fighters to another sovereign state to fight in the name of God No point to bring up the fact that Iran has issued a number of statements threatening to wipe out a number of countries including USA No point to bring up the fact that Iran supplies Hezbollah with weapons, money and training. Israel has been stealing? will accept that as soon as you show me papers of land ownership 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neighbors are the ones that have started wars with Israel over and over again and after 1948 Gaza was occupied by Egypt, not Israel. By the way the Jews were there long before the Arabs calling themselves Palestinians.You've got it all wrong. Back to class.

Well, there was also a UN resolution granting some of this land to Israel - and it not as if all the Palestinians and the Arab countries are keen on accepting that. I agree that building of settlements on further occupied land, such as in most of the West Bank, is both wrong and a stupid move. Leaving unilaterally doesn't seem like such a great idea based on experience from Gaza Strip, and to some extent, Lebanon. These things need to be done with cooperation - sadly lacking from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 America needs to keep out of this, it needs some one who is neutral, unbiased and respected by both sides to broker a piece deal. I think most sane leaders and countries wouldn't want to touch that with a 10 foot pole. Not many are unbiased, and none are respected enough for either side to let go of their illusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twelve Tribes of Israel formed the first constitutional monarchy in Palestine about 1000 B.C and they have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3,700 years.. Whoever they "stole" the land from is long gone. Edited July 11, 2014 by Ulysses G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with his offer to broker a ceasefire is that neither side trusts him at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXZEzbT0H1s The Palestinians would be barking to trust ANY American government official, given that the US is overtly and covertly supporting israel, always has and always will. If the US wanted to solve the problem, it could do so tomorrow by denying israel any military or financial aid till israel withdraws from the west bank and stops blockading Gaza. It could then openly guarantee israel's existence with a treaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama knows what is right, and he needs to follow his conscious on this. In 1947 the area was under the British Mandate. So the left hand map would be misleading. It was not all under Palestinian ownership even, not to mention rule. Kinda funny from a website with the word "truth" in its title... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
