Hey President Obama, How Does All That NETANYAHU EGG On Your Face Feel?

[Segami]

DailyKos:



After Netanyahu played you like a cheap fiddle you said:

“We have and I have unequivocally condemned Hamas and the Palestinian factions that were responsible for killing two Israeli soldiers and kidnapped a third,” the U.S. president told reporters.
“If they are serious about trying to resolve this situation, that soldier needs to be unconditionally released as soon as possible.”

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/obama-calls-for-release-of-hadar-goldin-captured-israeli-soldier-1.2724721

When you said this the Israeli media and IDF were still saying the soldier was 'missing in Gaza' and 'feared taken captive'.

I wrote about this in 'Gaza: A Tale of Two Missing Soldiers'.

And today the IDF announces:

The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday determined that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin, previously considered captured by Hamas, was killed in battle in Gaza on Friday.

And if you read a bit more of the article you'll see that it seems that it was the IDF who initiated the 'breach of the humanitarian ceasefire', not the other way round as so loudly claimed by Netanyahu.

Goldin went missing on Friday during an attack by Hamas militants on Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza Strip. Two other Israeli soldiers were killed in the attack. The incident occurred during a breach of the humanitarian ceasefire declared a few hours earlier between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza.

On Friday morning, soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s special forces company advanced toward a tunnel opening near the outskirts of Rafah, 2.5 kilometers from Israeli territory. The tunnel was buttressed by reinforced concrete on both sides; defense officials said it had been dug into Israel with the intent of carrying out a terror attack.

Some members of the company, including the commander, ‪Maj. Benaya Sarel, his radioman Staff Sgt. Liel Gidoni and squad leader Goldin approached the structure housing the tunnel opening. As the rest of the soldiers went around the other side of an adjacent building, combatants opened fire on Sarel, Gidoni and Goldin.

1. What truce? What humanitarian ceasefire - we're being played for fools

And if you read a bit more of the article you'll see that it seems that it was the IDF who initiated the 'breach of the humanitarian ceasefire', not the other way round as so loudly claimed by Netanyahu.

There was no truce if one side was allowed to keep bombing 'tunnels'.

[appal_jack]

12. Yet, that is what the ceasefire specified.

The short-lived, but originally-proposed-as-72-hour ceasefire specified that all hostilities would cease, except Israel's right to continue eradicating tunnels that crossed into its territory. If Hamas did not like this provision, they should not have accepted it. What the should NOT have done was send soldiers strapped with suicide vests to the front lines of those tunnels.

Hmm... what did Hamas choose? THEY violated the ceasefire. There is no legitimate way to spin this otherwise.

2. someone, somewhere must be able to show irrefutable evidence or they never would have admitted it.

There must be photos, firsthand accounts, and shrapnel from the bombs where the bodies were found. Otherwise the IDF would never admit to this.

But then, its Hama's fault for forcing Israel to invade and bomb them again cause there many who still breathe.

[malaise]

3. They tried to spin it

after the facts came out. Posted some shite about a suicide bomber. Looks like that lie disappeared quickly

[conservaphobe]

4. Probably feels about as ridiculous as that article. nt

[morningfog]

15. Netanyahu egg on face feels as ridiculous as an article discussing it?

That doesn't make any sense. Please work harder on you snark attempts, so that they at least have meaning. Thank you.

[oberliner]

5. Netanyahu is basically Dick Cheney

I think there are more than a few similarities between those two.

[MrMickeysMom]

8. I think he has a little less money and power...

But, yes… both are war criminals without regard for human life, unless it's their own.

[Lancero]

6. Given that Israel lied about who killed the teenagers, whose deaths ol Netty used to spur on...

This invasion, I'm kinda surprised that anyone believed a word that Israel said about the soldiers.

[malaise]

14. Precisely

The truth is that the US should have condemned the collective punishment from day one - fear of the neocons and the Israeli lobby created this mess.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. "Please, sir, may I have more?" Will be the response.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. Well, the president obviously reads and gets his information on DU.

[rtracey]

10. No Egg on his face

Sorry, but any leader would have said the same thing. The initial reports were he was missing.....Not dead. President Obama has done a lot to get this cease fire, but when you are dealing with dogs, I guess you need to use a leash....

[morningfog]

16. I agree. Netanyahu seriously needs to be leased. His war daily war crimes must end.

[d_b]

11. that's not egg, bud

tis something else

[Fred Sanders]

13. No mention of a suicide bomber anymore. No details of how they missed a body...all lies, clearly.

I think Bibi met with the widow who told him to raze Gaza to find her soldier/son and Bibi decided to
let go of the lie, substitute other lies.

[n2doc]

17. It'll feel fine, with a fine merlot and a slice of organic beef

Because Obama has to stay on the 'right' side of the Likud if he wants to get paid well when he retires. Bill and Hillary I am sure have filled him in on the racket.

[Segami]

18. Its like,..

keeping your nose clean and NOT rocking the boat by making enemies when you only have a few months left (2 years) to retirement.

Those that play will be handsomely rewarded for their loyalty.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. As par the lame DU course, it's always Obama's fault.

It's the same bullshit that we went through with Putin. Hey Obama, how does it feel having Putin hand you your ass?

Looks like we're going through it again with Netanyahu.

What total trash.

[Puzzledtraveller]

20. Or they hate Netanyahu more than they like the president.

either way you are right, it's BS and makes it seem like this whole thing is really getting some people off their hinges.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. It's all a game to 'em.

They treat it like it's a game. It's crazy.
