http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/report-rockets-fired-egypt-hit-israel_663502.html At this point in time, we would expect a U.S. President to be on the hot line to both sides of the conflict, trying to stop this war that's about to break out and kill thousands of people. What is Obama doing?
What do YOU suggest he's doing - playing golf this time of night? Or are you upset because he isn't on TV telling us exactly what he's said to other leaders in the ME and what they said to him and what he and the State Department and other countries are doing minute detail by minute detail? Really? I've been watching the news all day and listening with horror to all the death and destruction being perpetrated against innocent women and children - but all you can think about is how soon you'll have something to bash Obama with? And if a wider war does break out - as seems very possible - the first thing you'll do is blame Obama for causing it? IMVPO, you need to get a life and stop fomenting resentment and divisiveness in every one of your threads that I've ever seen.
Obama has already proved he will stand around and watch people die. What makes you think he will do any better this time?
Rational thought processes and common sense - something Obamahaters seem to be exceedingly lacking in.
good idea and when Bibi is crying down the phone asking you to save him hang up and let us finish this cancer one and for all! The only reason this drags on and on is because you pick up and jump when he and the rest of the Jehadi Yehudis say so!
My guess, they're "looking the other way" they don't really like israel and are supportive of palestine but they're probably not looking to kick off a war. More likely they're just not trying to stop anything that happens.
There is no longer dictator in Cairo ordering dissidents arrested and murdered with zero due process, so yeah security is less.
Your guess is wrong, Sinai is a mountainous region areas like that are almost impossible to control (ask the Americans in Afghanistan) let alone without being allowed to post any armed forces there.
Ah right. Anyway, this idea that Israel could never agree to a two state solution, because 'Hamas want to exterminate Israel etc', is a lot of bollox. If that's what he meant. Jews just use that, as an excuse to keep their murders etc going. In reality, a state called Palestine would be less not more likely, to wish to attack Israel. Nor would it have the means to destroy all Israel/Jews etc, that is also balls. And yes, it's population and lass mass would be tiny. Jews just will not accept it, it is as simple as that, it is not about nuance, the bottom line is, accepting it was never part of their plan. And it still isn't. Nor will it ever be.
Which is why the results of the last voting campain in israel were - Kadima - 22.47% labor - 9.93% hadash - 3.32% Meretz - 2.95% thats 38% of the votes, excluding arab parties. 38% of israeli jews wanted, and still wants a state of palestine. How many palestinians agree to a state of israel?
