Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Israel on Tuesday night to reiterate US support for ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, even as Israel appeared to reject a Hamas ceasefire proposal.
In a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Clinton praised the success of the Iron Dome missile defense system, which has intercepted most Hamas rockets, but said that it is no substitute for a “just and lasting peace.”
That just and lasting piece, she failed to include in here remarks, is being continuously forfeited in favor of military occupation of Palestinian land, disposssessing Palestinians of their homes and livelihoods, a savage economic blockade on Gaza, and continued airstrikes into the defenseless Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu said Israel preferred a diplomatic solution but that Israel would do “whatever is necessary to defend its people.” Defense, in this case, meaning disproportionate aggression against a largely defenseless population of Palestinians.
Hamas, through Egypt, has offered a proposal for a ceasefire and a long term truce, but it has been ignored by Israel.
Hamas official Ezzat al-Rishq told Reuters, “The Israeli side has not responded yet,” and, “the truce is now held up because we are waiting for the Israeli side to respond.”

the state bytche auditions for 2016. Pseudofeminist, warcriminals unite. Who will prosecute this cabal
It's like giving piece of meet to a cat and asking it to safeguard it until you return from your journey in Asia…, the Israeli present government belongs to USA and EU, the entire government of Barack Hussein Obama and the European governing buddy belongs to Israelis advisory comities of all kind, sending Hillary Clinton to negotiate a peace is like sending a doctor who either unable to read or write or diagnose the reasons wrong. Look if it was not the very same politics and the very same women the very same moment wouldn't be created, by sending her or for that matter one of her assistant is not going to help the situation.., Israel wants to expend its territory into Gaza, the want for Palestinians to move out into Sinai desert and is Okie by USA and EU, this has been requested by Netanyahu, rest is the usual political maneuvering keeping the AIPAC happy. Wake up America, wake up people we have entered the second phase of the Neo Liberal Fascism world of politics.
No decent human being should be"bibi" with this psychopath. Call it for what it is, A MONSTER.
Enough to make you want to vomit.
The U.S. and Israel, locked in an embrace of self-destruction.
Hear, hear! What a surprise! Israel is the real "Mouse that Roared". And it is no for peace – who needs the peace when all powerful lions and lionesses are humbly licking your tail. This is for power – total poower! They have no shame! Neither the lions or lionesses nor the mouse.
