AMERICA AND ISRAEL?

THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN ISRAEL TRYING TO COVER-UP THEIR BARBARIC ACT, IS………

The only thing worse than Israel’s attempt to cover up their barbaric behavior by boarding the flotilla consisting of thirty seven nations, in International Waters, is the United States capriciousness in their conflicting statements.

“But attempting to cast a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid, human-rights workers, a dozen doctors, 30 journalists, two retired U.S. diplomats, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a former U.N. assistant secretary-general as terrorist sympathizers may be a hard sell.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Statement:

The United States supports the Security Council’s condemnation of the acts leading to this tragedy. And we urge Israel to permit full consular access to the individuals involved and to allow the countries concerned to retrieve their deceased and wounded immediately. We urge all concerned countries to work together to resolve the status of those who were part of this incident as soon as possible.

We support in the strongest terms the Security Council’s call for a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation. We support an Israeli investigation that meets those criteria. We are open to different ways of assuring a credible investigation, including international participation and we will continue to discuss these ideas with the Israelis and our international partners in the days ahead.

The situation in Gaza is unsustainable and unacceptable. Israel’s legitimate security needs must be met, just as the Palestinians’ legitimate needs for sustained humanitarian assistance and regular access for reconstruction materials must also be assured.

The White House and other Government Official Statements:

“The loss of life in this incident is tragic, but it should not diminish our support for Israel as it faces continued threats,” he said.

In a statement, the White House said Tuesday, that Obama spoke with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to express his condolences resulting from the Israeli military operation against the Turkish-flagged ship bound for Gaza: “The president affirmed the importance of finding better ways to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza without undermining Israel’s security.”

House Republicans, including Price, Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) and GOP conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.), have cited the recent strains in U.S.-Israel relations by portraying the Obama administration and by extension, congressional Democrats — as wavering in their support for the U.S. ally.

In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Cantor fired a shot at the United Nations for “predictably rushing to level hyperbolic accusations at Israel,” as well as a warning shot at the Obama White House.

“As information continues to filter in, I urge the President and his administration to continue to gather all the facts and if necessary, to veto any biased U.N. resolutions reining in Israel’s right to defend itself,” Cantor said.

Gibbs said he did not think the incident would derail administration attempts to resume Middle East peace talks.

Gibbs rejected suggestions that the U.S.’s reluctance to condemn the Israeli attack would damage U.S. relationships with Muslim nations.

“In terms of our relationship with the Muslim world, I think the President has obviously spent a lot of time on improving our relationship with countries throughout the world, and special time and care on our relationship with the Muslim world,” Gibbs said. “I do not think that this will have a great impact on that.”

“We,” America, must be very careful not only in our words, but our deeds!”

The International reaction is gravely against what Israel has done and continues to do, and with the United States speaking with a “double-tongue,” it is difficult to see how we would ever win the battle against a demented ideology as permeated by Al Qaeda, The Taliban and the estranged people that call themselves Jihadists, that either kills or condone the killings of innocent people in the name of God!

People should not make the mistake of thinking that because of my name I sympathize with the demented ideology of anyone who kills with impunity, for it is my sincere desire that for once since the inception of mankind, that we would learn how to start living; rather than live for just killing because societies have become so good at this debauchery

As you can see from the International Community’s reactions, the whole world has denounced this radical action by Israel, save that of the United States.

Whether it is your child, your spouse or a friend, we can stand by them with all loyalty and help them as best as we can but condoning their wrongs, would not help them and despite your own best effort, you would be looked upon with scorn and derision.

For those that may not be aware, there are one million six hundred thousand people living in what is known as Gaza. Just imagine that, that many people are living in an area twice the size of Washington D.C. which is 68.3 square miles. (136.6 square miles)

According to the latest UNICEF report, 40% of the Palestinians have no jobs, 70% of them are living below the poverty level and 80% of them depend on foreign aid and yes, Israel has created a land and sea blockade since 2007. The Palestinians are living in unsanitary conditions because one of the basic needs of human beings is water, and water is very limited. Their buildings are in shatters and the children as well as the parents, more often than not, they have nothing to eat!

What makes me most sick about all of this is that from the White House to the Halls of Congress, they speak more often than not about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and all the way to the State of Israel they pray around the clock calling on Yahweh, (Orthodox Jews do not accept Christ) and I just can’t help but wonder; “What does our gracious God have to do with such egregious machinations and hypocrisy? El Shaddai took it upon Himself to die on the cross for all of us, why, must we keep crucifying our Lord over and over and over!”
