White House Retaliates, "Condemns" Israeli Shelling Of UN School In Gaza

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It was only a matter of time.

Following yesterday's scandalous release of the Obama-Natanyahu phone call transcript by Israel's Channel 1, which officials on both sides have claimed was a fake (due to its clearly negative implications for US foreign policy which appears painfully weak) yet which the media outlet has defended as authentic, citing a "senior American official" as a source, one was wondering how long it would take for the White House to "teach" Israel a lesson, and put it in its place. The answer: less than 24 hours. Moments ago, the White House officially "condemned" the shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza that local authorities estimated killed at least 15 Palestinians who were sheltering there.

Still, to appear measured, the US also condemned Hamas, although indirectly: "We are extremely concerned that thousands of internally displaced Palestinians who have been called on by the Israeli military to evacuate their homes are not safe in U.N. designated shelters in Gaza," White House National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said, cited by Reuters. "We also condemn those responsible for hiding weapons in United Nations facilities in Gaza."

As AP adds, this is "the sharpest criticism the U.S. has leveled at Israel over the more than three weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza." In fact, it may be the first time in recent history when the US has condemned anything to do with Israel.

Exciting, yes?

No, not really, because as everything else coming out of the White House in the past 6 years, this too was merely for popular theater purposes.

How do we know? Because this hit moments later.

Actually, the endless hasbara platitudes are the most tedious of all.  I'm all for hearing differing views, but I'm tired of megaphone trolls, perhaps like you, coming out of the woodwork to outright lie and call people antisemites for daring to criticize Israel or the Israel Lobby.

No one's buying it here.

Rather than defend Israel's actions via the Poor Me approach, ethical business practices might be more effective if you want the people to stop dissecting the situation only to find the real reason is due to theft of resources and nothing to do with safety issues.  Toughen up if you want to play this game.  It's part of it.

"Sure enough, though dead 16 years, Nixon is back onstage, with the release of a fresh batch of tapes from his Oval Office days. They show him at his omni-bigoted worst, offering one slur after another against the Irish, Italians and blacks. Characteristically, he saved his most potent acid for Jews. “The Jews,” he said, “are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality.”

Most densely populated region in the world, 1.3 million people packed in like sardines and you ask this question.  Do groups of people sit in a room and go over canned responses to accusations?  Ready Replies R Us maybe?  Thankfully, we know what is going on, who is the aggressor and who is the victim.  We know the goal, and ultimately, that makes all of us Palestinians.  I stand with the Palestinian people and condemn Israel and her people that support the mass murder of innocent people, confined to the grave by apartheid. 

 

Sickens us to watch this unfold and unless the entire world has gone absolutely mad, the blowback will neturalize Israel for eternity.  Because we don't need this bullshit in the 21st century.  The comments all over the web are well founded and reflect a desire for immediate remedy to this madness going on in the region the Jewish people call Israel and the Palestinian people call Palestine, the incredibility shrinking Palestine.  In essence, ruthless thieves is what we have before us...nothing more.  The soft-shoe, top hat and cane show is going to stop one way or another because we refuse to live this way.

I have a different take. imho, this is mind control for the israeli population.  The israeli government uses fear to keep support for its insane and barbaric murder sprees...  if the israeli people think that obama will abandon them (which he clearly isn't given the continued arms flow), they are more likely to go along with the genocide, which is about to get much worse...

Hamas will continue to reject ceasefires until enough Hamas soldiers get combat experience fighting Israelis.  After all, how do you get promoted in Hamas unless you show you are willing to fight to the death.  Don't think it's not a big deal.  Promotions likely means more money, better housing and a better chance of landing one of the cuter suddenly available for marraige chicks.

Good point. The perception is that the IDF is going after missiles and tunnels - but they don't mind taking down a couple hundred Hamas fighters too. Nor do they mind knocking out the infrastructure which will divert money that Hamas could use on weapons.

Oh yes, the destruction of the infrastructure will neutralize the entity Israel created in order to attack the Palestinians without public outcry.  Expect 200 rebels to be created with every child killed, when the men and women in Gaza are crawling on the earth looking for a way to survive, the only job available will be a soldier looking for arms because what alternative would there be.  The shore line/port, natural gas resources are being stolen by ruthless scoundrels who hold a "bible" in one hand and a stake in the other.  Just what you'd expect by scavengers who flatter themselves for taking the low road to their ill-gotten riches.  By the time this is over, you'll realize the world has stopped playing the violin for Israel as historical ~facts~ reveal the grossly aberrant behavior was within the very tribe the victims came from.

Because of Israeli propaganda supported by Israeli media the parity between Israel and Hamas is always skewed as in your post. Take the current discussions for a ceasefire where allegedly Israel would be anxious to agree to a ceasefire but the evil Hamas would not, electing to keep fighting.

But when one looks closely one sees the likely provisions for the ceasefire provision: IDF could remain in place in Gaza, continuing its bombing and violent attacks on tunnels but Hamas would stop all rocket attacks.

In other words, a one-sided ceasefire.

Also, with every agreement Hamas is asked to make, Gazan border exits just get more limited and more draconian. What kind of cowed people wouldn’t try to tunnel out of an imposed prison where their families are forced-starving and being force-killed?

By the way, in the first 3 months after the November 2012 ceasefire, not one rocket came out of Gaza but Israel bombed Gaza dozens of times killing and injuring dozens of people.

We will never know what the Arabian people would be like had they not been at war for centuries.  Were the young people within the middle eastern countries able to grow up in a normal world, without being bombed back into the stone ages, the view would be far different.  The introduction of "democracy" into oil rich regions has allowed the land to be pushed into a lawless and desperate state, where even getting through the day is questionable, and the new laws are handed out by street thugs with the most powerful weapons at the moment.  Destabilizing this region is making a couple people filthy stinking rich at the cost of what I truly believe would otherwise, if left alone to evolve normally, a nation with decent citizens who want to add something to this pathetic world that has been designed by these same men living in the lap of luxury far away from the disaster zone.  We resent it and that should come as no surprise to anyone, least of you the Jewish people.  Damage control must be your job.

Or, those crazy Germans might not have done what they did if the Chosen Ones hadn't fomented against their German hosts from WWI up to and through WWII and called for the destruction of the German nation.  This was back in the days they were treated like first class citizens.

Why did governments agree to give land to the Jews?  They felt bad?  No, I think it might have had a bit more with the Jewish guarantee to get the US invovled in WWI, after France and England had already accepted defeat on the horizon.  Yes, WWI.  Learn some history.

Those politicians from parliamentary systems sometimes do not understand how America’s presidential elections work. Obama does not have a coalition government like Netanyahu. He stands alone in the world as the primary spokesman for America. And Netanyahu may be forgetting what it’s like not to be allowed to run for re-election; and when you’re a lame duck president there may be a limit to how much abuse you need to take from the likes of the Netanyahus.

Also, as we all know, Obama does not take criticism well. Just an observation for Netanyahu who is one of the great abusers of all time, he is biting the hand that feeds him.

Search for the entrances in Palestinian territories with all the bullets and weapons the USA has given you for free - 12,000 Palestinians get hurt / killed.

Hmm, now why would I invade a territory and destroy most of infrastructure, again?  Oh, that's right, the Palestinians have only about 2% of their original land - and da joos want it.

And, I know, they deeply regret every single innocent they have killed.  There's only one problem:  they don't even see newborn Palestinians as innocent, nor the mother that just gave birth to the child.

I keep wondering if the tunnels go into Israel, why don't they look for them on the ISRAELI SIDE OF THE FUCKING FENCE?  

Tell me the Mossad doesn't have ground piercing radar?   They can't go straight along the border and find where steel-reinforced tunnels are coming perpendicular to 'the wall'?

Bullshit.  Instead, they have to go kill 1,000+ fenced in humans and injure over 10,000.  The majority, by the way, have been women and children.

You can call the clit-clippers, camel-fuckers, whatever you want.  But, take one look at a child tied down and blind-folded next to an Israeli soldier and it's easy to see who is using human shields.  The Israeli's are using Palestinian children as human shields and any bullshit excuse they want to shell all of the Palestinian lands.  They'll be over to the West Bank soon enough.

I've held off on calling it a genocide until today. Ethnic cleansing, barbarism, and apartheid, yes, but not genocide.

But with the Gaza power plant functionally destroyed, basic sanitation will be impossible. Diseases like typhoid, cholera, and others will run rampant in the population and kills tens if not hundreds of thousands. This is inevitable. It's already happened, the plant is already ruined.

Israel has committed an act of genocide against Palestinian civilians and the "civilized" world is silent. The Zionist entity seeks to accomplish through disease what the Nazis did with concentration camps.

But who gives a particular fuck what you think?  Especially given your ironic penchant for {actual} anti-Semitism?

I think it's Jewish Supremacism.

It allows folks like you to not feel guilt or shame, or empathy as to the suffering of non-Jews, the undermenschen.

 

do you hear that?

 

seriously - listen right now...

"In American media discourse, when Palestinians overwhelmingly kill soldiers (95% of the Israeli death toll) who are part of an army that is blockading, occupying, invading, and indiscriminately bombing them and killing their children by the hundreds, that is “terrorism”; when Israelis use massive, brutal force against a trapped civilian population, overwhelmingly killing innocent men, women and children (at least 75% of the Palestinian death toll), with clear intentions to kill civilians (see point 3), that is noble “self-defense.” That demonstrates how skewed U.S. discourse is in favor of Israel, as well as the purely manipulative, propagandistic nature of the term “terrorists.”

how fucked up to you have to be to actually believe that Israel can't be legitimately criticized for fucking war crimes?

I think it requires abject stupidity, religious fervor, and/or Jewish Supremacism - which is something I think a large minority of Israeli Jews possess.

All those crying Joo hater/Hitler/Nazi/anti-semite - the same tired hasbara playbook.  How many are responding to comments about Israel bombing schools?

How many arent responding to anything - how many never, ever read links provided.  How many cry anti-semite right before making actual racist claims about Arabs?

How many are paid to introduce red herrings and decreasingly effective rhetorical tactics to change the topic from the Jewish State's murder of non-Jewish children - the children of the indigenous people of what is now Israel?

Perhaps a periodically posted ZH hasbara troll list would be in order.  Again, I'll listen to anyone's reasonable opinions - but I'm tired of the hasbara troll handbook everyone's an antisemite bullshit designed to obfuscate the fact Israel is a racist, apartheid, colonialist, deceptive, massively spying, nuclear eogue state full of people who think the Creator of Space and Time chose a tribe of goat-fucking nomads, and that they're both their direct descendents and are practicing anything like the same religion - where they have a religion at all.

 

I massively criticized the actions of the US govt in Iraq and Afghanistan - no one called me "anti-american."  I did it because nothing justified starving or otherwise killing or being responsible for the death of a million and a half Iraqi people in the past 25 or so years who never threatened the US  (but perhaps, for the neocons, were a kind of regional threat to Israel).  This is because I have a conscience, and I don't automatically think, "my country right or wrong."

 

It seems that most of Israel and a large number, certainly not all of American Jews not only won't criticize Israel's government and military, not only justify bombing schools and hospitals  on the thin, generally unsupported premise Hamas was firing rockets from them  (they've killed 3 people in all this time and what now - 1200+ dead, and 10,000 mained or wounded?), but have the sheer fucking naked psychopathic audacity to troll american websites and cry "antisemite" at us?

 

Fuck.

Good idea. Let me help.

Before joining ZH one must pledge allegiance to and profess in writing that you sincerely believe in The Two Great Foundations of Zionism. Since there is no evidence whatsoever for either one, this must be a profession of pure love and faith in Jews, what they stand for, what they do, and a committment to pledge your life and fortune in support of their branch of the Abrahamic faith.

!: Jews are Chosen by God to lead humanity into the Great Promised Land, and, 2: Six million Jews were gassed and killed in camps scattered around Poland between 1942 and 1944. 

One must check a tiny box at the bottom of the above statement and type your name under that box. Would that work for you?

Good points. Protests in Germany against Israel are being VERBOTEN because the boogeyman argument of being "anti semitic" and even "anti zionist" are coming out like a whacka-mole to suppress any and all opposition against the fascist zio terrorist state.

Yes, dear Israel we all love you. Do whatever you want with the world. The world owes you ever so much.

Why aren't thousands of Palestinians just walking across the borders and marching by the thousands into Israel from all angles? I don't know what they're waiting for. It's not like Israel is ever going to stop killing them or taking their land. I know what I would do.

3 percent of the UK population is muslim.  55 percent of UK birth defects are within muslim families.   The koran allows first cousin marriage and prohibits man / woman contact without a chaperone beyond first cousins.  In some arab countries, over 65 percent of all marriages are to first cousins.  the entire muslim population is regressing into a population of complete idiots, incapable of independent thought and growing more and more reliant upon their spiritual leaders to completely control their lives, up to and including suicide to further the ends of their leaders.  Islam has become the idiocracy that we joke about.  At this point they are little more than violent animals.

Not your junk, and I can't refute what you say, but 'round here you need links to trusted sources if yer gonna post numbers or stats.  If what you say is true, I'll betcha the same is true of the Israelis- in fact, it would help explain the whole fkn conundrum.

One group of inbred idiots at war with another group of inbred idiots works for me.

A problem arises, however, when you draw lines on a map and try to confine the idiots within those lines.  Not only are the lines not demarcated upon the Earth, the people who live there don't give a fuck about them, anyway.

Maybe I'm an inbred idiot.  Maybe you're an inbred idiot, I dunno.

I'll probably get my own junks for this- Borders are bullshit.  Government is bullshit, and you and I could get along amicably if we had a mutually recognized unit of exchange.

Then again, maybe we'd be better off if we had to individually find buyers for our wares, and trade for inconvenient quantities of stuff we need.

Ya' gotta hand it to the banksters for identifying a basic human need, and exploiting it, though.

Sorry for a second reply- Adolf knew there was a problem, and he was pretty sure he knew which sector it was that was causing it.  Up until the time he decided to purge the whole lot (cuz they wouldn't identify the criminals among them), he had risen to power on the lift provided by the very same folks he suspected.  When the time came, he was deleted.

So when Hitlery compares Putin to Hitler, she's actually correct in that context.

But there's a HUGE difference-  Putin rose to power on the lift of the Jewish oligarchs who ran Russia before him.  Knowing history, he promptly identified them as usurpers of the people's wealth and exiled or just plain eliminated the worst offenders.

Putin realized where his initial boost came from, Hitler didn't.

Putin is no saint, but he's also far from stupid.

"Terrorism is a specific set of irregular tactics ... ..."

That's wishy-washy bunkum.

The definition of "terrorism" has been changed, modified and expanded to mean whatever the ruling elites want it to be on any particular day.

In Israel, when Hamas fire a rocket into Israel Netanyahu calls it "terrorism". But when Netanyahu orders mass slaughter of innocents in Gaza to terrorise the population, he calls it "defending our people".

According to countless independent orgs, what's going on in Gaza are war crimes. Netanyahu is therefore a war criminal and should be hunted down and brought to account.

The Israeli slaughter in Gaza is truly disgraceful. It brings shame on all Western nations not to be expressing grave criticism at what's going on.

Obama and Cameron in London should be leading calls for Netanyahu to be designated a "war criminal", hunted down and arrested along with senior IDF commanders carrying out mass slaughter. Further, if the chicken-shit Obama wants a new M/E conflict he should send boots into Israel and scoop it all up.
