As Palestinian terrorists rockets continue to rain down on Israel, targeting the Jewish population, President Barack Obama offered the help of the United States on Thursday “in negotiating a cease-fire to end escalating violence between Israel and Hamas.” But critics of the Obama administration believe that with an enemy seeking your destruction, only a coward or inept leader, such as Obama, would sit down to discuss peace, and they blasted the President’s lukewarm support of Israel.
According to Obama’s sycophants within the U.S. news media, during his phone conversation with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama claimed he supports Israel’s right to defend itself against attacks by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist group in the Gaza Strip, but he also said the U.S. was willing to “facilitate a cessation of hostilities.”
“Who will the President send on this assignment? John Kerry, who accused Israel of practicing apartheid? Or Hillary Clinton, who accused the Israelis of being occupiers? Obama and his minions are lukewarm in their support of the Jewish state. Period,” claims a former Israeli police officer now working as a security specialist in the United States.
On the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., blasted Obama when he told his colleagues, “Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas openly united with the evil terrorist group, Hamas, and this very moment they are raining rockets down upon the innocent citizens of Israel. Half of all Israelis have sought cover in bomb shelters across their tiny country.”
“[T]he Obama Administration has had the reprehensible gall to praise Abbas as someone who is ‘committed to non-violence and…cooperation with Israel,’ and to further proclaim in an Israeli newspaper that: ‘Finally, peace is possible!’” said Franks.
“I thought nothing this President could say or do would surprise me anymore, but his flushed and breathless rush to embrace terrorists launching rockets at Israeli children is an unprecedented act of cowardice and betrayal,” Rep. Franks added.
