JoshuaPundit claims inside information (probably Israeli politico sources) on what Barry was saying out the other side of his mouth while the one side was publically supporting Israel’s defensive operations against Hamas:
“According to a couple of my notorious lil’ birdies who are very much in a position to know, the Israelis fully intended to go into Gaza and eradicate Hamas. A country like Israel doesn’t call up that many reserves and affect its economy unless they were serious about the matter.
“But then the Obama Administration intervened.
“They were perfectly happy for Israel to go in to Gaza and take out Hamas, but insisted that they then turn Gaza over to the Palestinian Authority. This was supposed to strengthen PA President Mahmoud Abbas as ‘Palestine’s savior’ . As as a kicker, President Obama insisted that Israel immediately declare a Palestinian State in Gaza and most of Judea and Samaria, including areas currently under Israeli sovereignty from which the Jewish residents would then be removed. These were also to be turned over to Abbas.
“If the Israelis were unwilling to have the IDF do Mahmoud Abbas’ dirty work for him and then give up large areas populated by Jews, then the Obama Administration told the Israelis the U.S. would not back an IDF ground assault in Gaza.”
I doubt we can expect our pathetic Democrat news media to follow this up, or present any equally-believable scenario. So far they haven’t bothered to note that Barry is now negotiating with terrorists, if only as a silent partner. Despite laws to the contrary he has also (since July) allowed Hamas and other Jihadi backers to raise money for weapons in the U.S.
So we’ll take JP’s angle for now. It makes as much sense as anything else we could expect our Muslim-lovin’ prez to do. Some have suggested he’s probably embarrassed that his Egyptian interlocutor Morsi has now revealed himself as a dictator. But I doubt it. Barry himself hasn’t been at all scrupulous in following the U.S. Constitution.
Via Simply Jews, where Mr. Goon has his own good, if unhappy, analysis.
