Hamas, Fatah sign truce deal - Israel News, Ynetnews

Quote:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently visiting London, said in response: "What happened today in Cairo is a tremendous blow to peace and a great victory for terrorism."

Meanwhile Yisrael Beiteinu announced it would demand the government cut all ties with the new Palestinian unity government. "You cannot expect the State of Israel to transfer money to Hamas and in effect fund operations against its own citizens," a statement from the party says.
Well, apparently obama expects just that. Why is he ignoring the FACT that hamas and fatah have realigned and any aid to the palestinian authority means aid to hamas, a terrorist organization?

Here is a map of Jerusalem, along with the holy sites;

Here is obama's map;

What a dunderhead move by obama.

I truly hope Bibi embarrasses this idiot.

Obama's gift includes these sites; The Garden of Gethsamene, Chapel of the Ascension, The Tomb of the Virgin, The Tower of David, The Wailing Wall, The Via Delarosa (the final steps of Jesus Christ), The tomb of Jesus Christ, The Church of St. Anne
The Church of the Flagellation, The Church of All Nations, The site of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I wish our politicians would take the same stance.

You don't.

Poll after poll shows continued strong support for Israel, who was once our ally and friend, the only democracy in the ME.

But that has all changed under the radical muslim supporter, obama.

(Puzzled). Obama gave the Hamas organization tax-exempt status?

(well, most Christian churches seem to think that is the most sacred thing around)

I am tired of these clowns coercing money from us by threatening war with each other. Hamas et al have a million people. The Israel has a few hundred nukes. I doubt they will commit mutual suicide. Let’s call their bluff and stop paying protection money to these swindlers.

Israel may have been an ally but they never were our friend. They were a client state and hated us for it. Now they are, just like their enemy in Palestine, nothing but protection racketeers. We are the patsy.

You're right according to this poll. I wonder how people polled would feel if they knew we give Israel $2 1/2 billion each year? Time for that side of the world to take care of itself and the U.S. to butt out.

Obama doesn't get to gift anything. I'm not saying they are going to attack Obama, but I sure don't expect them to give intelligence of any impending attack on the White House after this if there ever was one they'd know about. not in their interest with Obama there anymore.

You assume wrongly that Americans don't know we support Israel financially. They do and support it.

But what do you think of the map - giving the palestinians some of the most holy sites in Christianity?

REALLY, Funny thing I have not heard him say we are going to stop wasting taxpayer dollars by stopping sending Billions in aid to Israel every year.

I tried to rep you, but I have to spread it around.
