Israel Cabinet Unanimously Rejects John Kerry's Gaza Truce Proposal

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Over the past few days, John Kerry flew to Egypt, where among other things, he proposed a weekling Gaza Truce. Alas, that was one taxpayer funded trip for the Secretary of State flushed down the drain:

  • ISRAEL CABINET UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSED KERRY PLAN: CHANNEL 1
  • ISRAEL'S SECURITY CABINET HAS REJECTED GAZA CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL, SEEKS MODIFICATIONS -GOVT SOURCE

AP had some more details:

Israel on Friday rejected a Gaza ceasefire proposal presented by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Israeli public television reported.

 

"The security cabinet has unanimously rejected the ceasefire proposal of Kerry, as it stands," Channel 1 said, adding that ministers would continue discussing it.

Or, largely just as was expected (because even Bloomberg is now reporting how the entire middle east is mocking John Kerry). But perhaps the reason why gold appears to have suddenly found a bid is the following:

  • JOHN KERRY TO SPEAK FROM CAIRO LATER TODAY

Because just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, John Kerry opens his mouth...

I had to laugh. 

See yesterday's local paper sub-headling, front page, above the fold:

"Kerry seeks cease-fire, but Gazans question America's neutrality". 

What kinda stupid question would that be? 

 

Pat Buchanan used to talk about "Israel's Amen Corner" in Congress.  Now, there might be a corner that doesn't say Amen, but they won't be back next term. 

Want to see your future?  Look at the Palestinians and anyone else inconvenient to the emerging global superstate.

I'm going to use a term that will be written  much of in the future of the ME.."Reoccupation of Gaza".  It is now a permanent War Zone and front line of defense for the Israeli peoples.  Heavy Use of Artillary confirms this as well.

It’s easy to mock Kerry, and even though the general role of the United States in the Middle East underscores the fact that the American government wants the goals of Israel to be completely realized, he was carrying a ceasefire proposal.

Bloomberg, “now reporting how the entire middle east is mocking John Kerry,” is just another Jewish outlet like Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine, the latter stooping so low as to call the Palestinians fundamentalist Nazis, bred and born to be Nazis, who after they've killed all the Israelis, will kill the Christians, and then they will cross the ocean to kill us. His motive? To frighten the American people into paying for further murder of the Palestinians.

It was the same Mark Levine who went crazy criticizing Obama for suggesting he was concerned about the level of casualites of both the Palestinians and the Israelis. That the concern included the Palestinians was just too much for Levine to handle. It 's one thing to hate the president, and Levine does; it's another thing to condone the slaughter of innocent people because you are a Jew or get your career from the Jews (Hannity). Is there another reason? And in his mockery of Obama's lack of war prowess, Levine laments: Think what it would be if America could have a President Benjamin Netanyahu.

But, hey, with dual citizenship, I don't see why we can't - so Mark can have his way.

Here is my simple 3 step plan on how to handle this particular situation in Gaza.

1. There will be NO peace deal.

2. The War will continue until someone wins with one important stipulation, both sides must agree to only use weapons mentioned in the Old Testament.

3. May the best Race win! Let's get it on!

Kerry thinks he's the master when he's actually the puppet.

We should recognize Hamas as an elected government and say this war is killing people and we want this fighting to stop right now or we’re going to sent peacekeeper troops into stop the fighting.

That’s what a superpower that wants to take a moral stand to save lives would do. And then insist that representatives of the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas sit down and talk - where America would become a broker again, instead of a supplier and mentor to one of the warring factions.

That’s why Kerry can’t get anywhere, or Egypt either - they are under the thumb of Israel

I mean the United States just gave the Israeli government the money to keep fighting the war.

Thanks for the link to The Onion. The jest has a ring of tragedy:

Israel: Palestinians Given Ample Time To Evacuate To Nearby Bombing Sites | The Onion

News in BriefWorldwarworld leadersNewsISSUE 50•29 • Jul 23, 2014

JERUSALEM—In response to criticism surrounding the death toll during its ongoing incursion into Gaza, representatives from the Israeli government Wednesday emphasized that warnings sent to Palestinian civilians provided them with ample time to evacuate to nearby bombing sites. “We are being very careful and thorough as we carry out our targeted strikes, and I can say, without question, that Palestinians are given more than enough time to leave their residences and find shelter in a future bombardment target,” said Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, adding that whether alerted by phone, text message, or leaflet, Palestinians have sufficient opportunity to relocate to any number of locations marked for imminent aerial strikes. “Giving Palestinian civilians the chance to seek safety in the home of a family member or friend that will be shelled to rubble in the next 48 hours is a gesture we deserve praise for, not condemnation. In fact, this initiative has been a major success in this campaign.” Ya’alon added that since there were numerous bombing sites Palestinians could take shelter in, he was not responsible for whatever happened to people who chose to stay home.

Always wondered why I keep hearing about radical Muslims but never radical Jews.  It finally came to me as I watched this video of REAL JEWS pointing out the radicals in their midst:

Guess ya'll have at least one thing in common with Barack.  Majority here seems to hate jews.  And laughable that Israel should give a shit about the young pals.  Y.....the prescious little ones, the ones that hear jew hate whispered in thier ear while breast feeding. I think they'll do fine concentrating on not getting blown up by rockets and virgin seekers.

Oh, that's funny too.  Har.  I'v seen lots of peacenik protests in Israel.  I'm sure they exist in the West Bank pressuring Hamas to lay down thier guns.  It's most likely the jews stranglehold on the media.  They won't allow broadcast of the peacenik muzzies.  Would make them look bad.  Yeah, that's the ticket.  Lap up that paradigm.

Unbelievable the number of ZH readers who are completely clueless and have bought into the left's version of events. The irrational hate of Isreal is proof that evil permeates this world in a supernatural sense.

This is <Sarc On> , right?  

The left is as Isreal Symp as they come. It's not just Neo cons that are in the forefront of Israel Uber Alles. Many on the left here in the U.S. have never voted for a conservative, have never pulled a chad for a republican.

So watch that broad brush, exonerating the left from their complicity in the Middle East, hopefully, one day, Conflagration. Then the Phoenix.

The road to Fame, as most Secy's of State pursue that Golden Calf, is littered with their dead and maimed bodies. 

Dreams of being the next Ghandi, settling for a long time if not forever, the Middle East conundrum, have motivated more sociopaths with visions of grandiosity than all the nubile interns in the world do for bill clinton.

How many have lain awake at night with solutions dancing in their heads so that they can be lionized as THE  ONE who settled the Middle East?

ALL of them.

I think the whole world would be better off if John Kerry and Israel just Fucked off and we didn't have to listen to this shit any more. Why don't they set up a new jewish homeland in the Antarctic. They can build as many settlements as they like there.
