It’s come to this.
Not even the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas is as radical as US President Barack Obama. Even he understands that the Gaza embargo must be enforced to prevent Hamas from stockpiling arms.
Haaretz reported:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is opposed to lifting the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip because this would bolster Hamas, according to what he told United States President Barack Obama during their meeting at the White House Wednesday. Egypt also supports this position.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once more put off announcing the creation of a committee of inquiry into the naval commando raid on the Gaza Strip flotilla, and the matter will not be brought before the cabinet for a vote this morning.

Netanyahu and his advisers had hoped to announce the establishment of a committee of inquiry as early as yesterday evening for a vote in the cabinet today. Nonetheless, the Prime Minister’s Bureau said yesterday evening that the conditions have not matured for such an announcement “due to political reasons.”

Sadly, Barack Obama is siding with Hamas on this one. He says the blockade is unsustainable.

  1. This may explain why:

    Egyptian minister: Obama told me he is a Muslim

    This was a statement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Nile-TV. It was made on the «Round table show».

    This is the statement recorded:

    Adul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, where the US President told him that He was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the step son of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympatetic towards the Muslim agenda.

    Adul Gheit claimed Obama told the Arabs to show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic issues, like the Health care reform, he would show the Muslim World how to deal with Israel.

    notice this is from a high ranking offical stated on TV. now if only our Media would follow up.

  2. Forget about the Blowhard being a Muslim. He’s a left-wing ideologue with a big chip on his shoulder.

    And half the country thought this dope was a messiah. Scary.

  3. Glenn Greenwald and Peter Beinart are most hurt by Abbas wanting the blockade maintained.

  4. ALMOST half of us knew better.

  5. Abbas has personal experience with Hamas style rule by the end of a gun. The more weapons Hamas has, the more rule they will take.

  6. jim & friends;

    hamas is like a crime family that runs gaza like a big extortion racket: they threaten violence unless they get “aid”.

    fatah is a competing crime family. they don;t want hamas to get richer or stringer and then threaten them in “their” territory. they want obama to help them get gaza back.

    as a matter of fact; one might look upon islam as – not a religion and not a martial creed (as other have argued), but a basis for extortion.

    islam – submission or else = extortion.

    paying extortionists only incentivizes them.

    it’s time to cut them off.

    HOW!?!?

    attack iran.

    regime change in iran will lead to regime change in syria and gaza – and maybe even samaria & judea.

    but it means we have to either get turkey back into the western/modern fold or block them – and the russians and chinese from filling the void left when iran is toppled.

    toppling iran is more important than either toppling the taliban is/was or topppling saddam was.

  7. When the blockade is no longer sustainable, it will be war.

  8. To the Muslim World the United States is the Grest Satan. Nevertheless, we have American Muslims in high public office – Muslims that are open about their religion. To have the leader of America be Muslim and NOT admit that to the American people matters. It matters a LOT.

  9. Israel and all our common virtue have the United Nations (of tyrants) weighed against them. Barack Hussein Obama made it clear where he stands in his autobiography.

  10. This is more like it. Competing liberal agendas. Some like Hamas, some like the PLO, Obama is stuck in the middle trying to figure out which radical Jew hating group to back.

    The PLO is long in the tooth and became pretty comfortable taking the billions from the world, no I mean stealing from their people the billions meant for their welfare. Hamas is looking to take over.

    I wonder how Obama is going to handle this one!

  11. I don’t think you should call Obama a radical. For a Muslim he’s actually quite moderate.

  12. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

  13. unseen — Egyptian minister: Obama told me he is a Muslim. I found that very interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

  14. Abbas realizes that if they force Israel to stop the blockade and Hamas is armed — Israel will have to declare all out war and wipe Gaza off the map. Better to use the blockade for the PR value and gets big bucks in Foreign Aid from a guilty world.
