Days of struggling to broker a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip finally came to fruition for the US overnight, when a 72-hour ceasefire went into effect. It came crashing down just 90 minutes later, when Israeli and Hamas forces clashed in a tunnel.
US officials are throwing there hands up at this point, saying they spent what little leverage they had coaxing Israel into the last ceasefire, and with Israel blaming Hamas for the violation, and for potentially capturing one of their soldiers, there isn’t much chance of getting another one.
Obama was quick to blame Hamas as well, saying Israel couldn’t trust a ceasefire if their soldiers were killed and captured during it, even though the soldiers in question were in the process of attacking a Hamas tunnel at the time.
Where this leaves the ceasefire process itself is unclear, as Egypt says their invitation for talks remains in place. The Israeli government seems keen to escalate the war once again, forever, so the talks are probably once again on hold.
That's because EU/USG supporting Israel fascistic regime as the senate approving 225 million for defending Israel by giving weapon to Netanyahu fascism regime for free.
Obama is worthless. He is not even trying.
Seriously folks, none of the participants, including the USG who continue to arm and finance the Israelis, is interested in stopping the destruction of the Palestinians. All this talk of ceasefire is bullsh!t mostly for the American masses. As for the Egyptians, they're just trying to create some legitimacy for themselves. They don't care a lick for the Palestinians…because the checks from the USG also come with instructions attached to "make it look believable."
And the rest of the world is powerless (unwilling) to stop it.
Mr. President the Israeli soldiers were carrying out a military offensive during a ceasefire, what part of that you don't understand.
Boot-licking arsehole.
If it wasn't for the torrential rainfall of JEW money and the elections coming up, maybe then this overrated tool would stand up against mass murder of children.
Maybe.
We see little hope for Obama to grow a spine. People like Norman Finkelstein, and the taxi driver on youtube are my kind of heroes. There are many Jews standing up for the Palestinians, as well. They must get a lot of hell from the bloodthirsty Zionists. It's amazing how British leaders can sit back and watch the carnage. Did they forget what it was like to be Bombed in WW 2 ? Were the scars not deep enough ?
