Obama Pushes For Ceasefire To Save Hamas

President Barack Obama Monday demanded that Israel stop its efforts to destroy the tunnels used by Hamas to launch rocket and jihad attacks against Israeli civilians, and called for a ceasefire on terms favorable to Hamas.
Hamas shields its tunnels from airstrikes by placing them in heavily populated civilian neighborhoods. The tunnels also extend under the border so Hamas jihadis can attack Israeli civilians and border patrols.
Israel has sent in ground units to find and destroy the tunnels, but Hamas forces are trying to repel the Israeli units in house-to-house fighting.
The resulting battles are killing some civilians, whose bodies are brought to a local hospital for display by international media.
Obama reacted Monday to Hamas strategy of showcasing civilian casualties.
It now has to be our focus and the focus of the international community to bring about a ceasefire that ends the fighting, Obama said in short statement from a podium behind the White House.
Obamas Gaza intervention will likely be welcome by Hamas, partly because the Israeli military is battling its way through Hamas defenses. Also, Israeli officials are suggesting they will continue their offensive until Hamas is disarmed, and is no longer a threat to Israeli civilians.
Obama said hes sent Secretary of State John Kerry to the region to win a quick ceasefire that will stop the Israeli advance and halt the rockets into Israel.
We dont want to see any more civilians getting killed, Obama continued.
Israels military is accidentally killing civilians as it tried to destroy the tunnels under the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza. Israel had urged the local civilians to flee before the attack began.
In contrast, only a few Israeli civilians have been killed by Hamas barrage of rockets against Israels town and cities. Thats because Israels Iron Dome anti-missile defense destroys nearly all of the rockets that are on track to hit cities and towns.
Obama says he wants a ceasefire modeled on the 2012 deal that was brokered by Egypts Islamist government, and which temporarily ended a previous round of rocket attacks on Israel, and Israeli countermoves.
That Egyptian government was entwined with Hamas parent organization, the Cairo-based Muslim Brotherhood.
The 2012 peace deal opened Gazas border posts with Egypt once the fighting ended. Hamas used the open border to import more weapons and construction material for its tunnel network.
Since the 2012 deal was made, Egypts pro-Hamas government has been replaced by a new anti-Hamas government, which has drafted a new ceasefire deal.
The new deal would only open the border posts once the security situation becomes stable on the ground, according to the text.
Hamas recognizes that Egypts government will likely never conclude the security situation is stable enough to reopen the border. So the Egyptian deal that Hamas rejects and that Obama is ignoring would largely block a future military buildup by Hamas.
Israel accepted the new deal, but Hamas rejected it July 16, before Israel sent ground force into Gaza to destroy the tunnels.
Comments;
"Barack Obama Monday demanded that Israel stop its efforts to destroy the tunnels used by Hamas to launch rocket and jihad attacks against Israeli civilians"
To which Netenyahu will tell Obama, "you can go pound sand" while WE will continue to pound Hamas".
"Obama said hes sent Secretary of State John Kerry to the region to win a quick ceasefire that will stop the Israeli advance and halt the rockets into Israel".
To which Israel has ALREADY told Obama......"keep that pasty-face twit out of our hair, or he will be returning in a rubber bag"!
"Obama says he wants a ceasefire modeled on the 2012 deal that was brokered by Egypts Islamist governmen"
Hard, cold fact; no one in Israel really gives a damn what the clown-in-Chief in Washington "wants"!
This whole thing was started by the rag-heads in Hamas shooting their dinky rockets into Israel; fact; anytime you shoot ANYTHING at Israel, you may be absolutely certain that Israel WILL "shoot back"! As for Obama attempting to tell Israel not to blow up any more of Hamas's tunnels, I would suggest to Obama that he should "issue an executive order to stop the tide from "coming in"; (it is more likely to have an effect. )

When will this ridiculous clown occupying the White House figure out that if the rag heads quit lobbing rockets into Israel there will be no Palestinian civilian casualties. It really doesn't take deep thinking to figure this out, but apparently it's well above obama!

Yes troll woman, in the interest of civility, (and the possibility of there being "real ladies" listening, we sometimes use the much nicer term "rag heads" to refer to the "pond scum" who hide their weapons behind women and children.
On the other hand........we make no such distinction in the case of female trolls such as you.
And BTW.........if that doesn't suit your delicate sensibilities, please let me know and I will send you a quarter so you can call someone who gives a damn.

Alas Gitzo, dljen is a lost cause when it comes to coherent discourse. I only wish she would stick to her bread and butter tirades trashing Americas truck drivers. That is the only thing she really cares about.

So very eloquent...
It always amazes me, when dealing with one track sock puppet posters like Gitzo, that to counter any opposing posts, they always resort to personal attacks. Calling us names stopped being effective in the 4th grade.
I personally believe they are being paid by the Koch Bros to make these daily posts. Unwitting tools of the 1%.

No, for some reason she also has an irrational hatred of America's veterans. I wonder if a veteran was driving the truck that put her in the wheelchair? Maybe the two are connected.

This angry nescient woman is nothing more than an example of your typical liberal. (not all, but most) We just simply expect as much from them. dljen is to be pitied, not mocked!

No Gitzmo just wants to join the circle jerk that was formed earlier. He will take his place at the 11 O'Clock position and proceed to pump while chanting: OBama did X OBama did Y... They never make it to Z because they all suffer from premature ejaculation!

Do you have to use words like that? I like to tease glitzy but don't go that far, I don't think this talk is necessary. JMHO

Donna,
That's actually quite mild from some of the names I've heard them called.
