Mediaite Is ‘Thankful Barack Obama Is President During Latest Gaza Violence’

Nov. 25, 2012 6:57am Sharona Schwartz

“Be Thankful Barack Obama Is President During Latest Gaza Violence.” That’s a headline running on the site Mediaite during the past few days.

White House Reporter Tommy Christopher declares: “Elections have consequences, but rarely do they become as evident, as quickly, as they have with regard to the recent violence in and around Gaza.” The Israel-Hamas truce, he writes, has saved lives “and it would not have happened without the United States’ involvement.”

In contrast with President Obama’s performance, Christopher points to Mitt Romney’s statements about the Palestinians in the secretly-recorded video published by Mother Jones in September as evidence “Romney was never up to the job of replacing” Obama. He writes:

These are fine opinions for the loudmouth at your corner bar to hold, but as recent events make clear, they disqualify you from being President of the United States.

With the jury still out on the long-term prospects for the ceasefire (Palestinians launched five rockets at Israeli citizens within hours of its declaration and more Iranian long-range rockets reportedly on their way to Gaza), painting President Obama as the region’s savior would be a sweeping conclusion to say the least.

Let’s take a look at Romney’s key points on the conflict expressed in the tape and compare them with what happened in the past week when Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza fired 1,506 rockets at innocent civilians in southern Israeli communities and decide: Was Mediaite correct in concluding Romney’s just another “loudmouth” whose way-off opinions on the Middle East would indeed disqualify him from being president?

POINT #1: Romney said: “the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace.”

REALITY CHECK: Israel launched its Operation Pillar of Defense only after Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza – with no provocation – targeted southern Israeli communities with more than 100 rockets in just three days. Was “establishing peace” their motivation for launching explosive projectiles at schools, shops and homes? Not likely.

POINT #2: “…the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish.” That’s because of the peril for Israel, Romney said, if a Palestinian state were established in the West Bank – a mere nine miles from Tel Aviv, Israel’s financial and industrial center.

REALITY CHECK: During what Hamas called “Operation Shale Stones” in response to Israel’s “Operation Pillar of Defense,” the terror group not only launched more than 1,000 rockets at Israel’s southern communities of Beersheba, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Sderot, Kiryat Malachi – where a 25-year-old pregnant mother of three and two of her neighbors were tragically slaughtered – it also managed to strike just south of Jerusalem and the Tel Aviv area.

That Palestinian terror groups’ long-range Fajr-5 and M-75 missiles could reach strategic targets in the nation’s capital and financial and military headquarters rattled nerves in Israel. If Palestinians in the West Bank were allowed to similarly arm themselves, Israel would be in danger of having missiles pointed at air traffic around Ben-Gurion International Airport as well as at other strategic assets – gas refineries, electric plants – a virtual knife at its neck.

POINT #3: Romney said: “…the Iranians would want to do through the West Bank exactly what they did through Lebanon and what they did in Gaza. Which is the Iranians would want to bring missiles and armament into the West Bank and potentially threaten Israel. So Israel, of course, would have to say that can’t happen. We’ve got to keep the Iranians from bringing weaponry into the West Bank…”

REALITY CHECK: Unlike its clandestine nuclear efforts, Iran proudly admits it’s helping terror groups obtain the missiles they need to try to kill Israelis. Just this week, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Ali Larijani said Iran takes pride in providing military assistance to Gaza. Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadhan Abdallah Shalah said it’s “no secret” his group’s weapons come from Iran. So was Romney incorrect in suggesting Iran would want to spread its influence to the West Bank if given the opportunity?

POINT #4: Romney said, “These are problems, and they’re very hard to solve, alright? And I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there’s just no way. And so what you do is you say you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that it’s going to remain an unsolved problem. I mean, we look at that in China and Taiwan. All right, we have a potentially volatile situation, but we sort of live with it. And we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve. We don’t go to war to try and resolve it.”

REALITY CHECK: How do you make peace with someone committed to your destruction? Hamas’ military wing this past week boasted to Israel that they “love death more than you love life.” Even Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority which rules the West Bank hasn’t always shown its peace-embracing side. The Palestinian Authority gives generous monthly salaries to convicted terrorists serving time in Israel for killing Israelis – the more severe the crime, the higher the salary. Since the U.S. gives aid to the Palestinian Authority, that means the American taxpayer is funding handouts to terrorists. These being but a few of the countless examples of the Palestinians’ glorifying terrorism, was it really such a stretch for Romney to conclude the Palestinians don’t appear to want a peaceful resolution to the conflict?

POINT #5: Romney said, “pushing on the Israelis to give something up, to get the Palestinians to act, is the worst idea in the world. We have done that time and time and time again. It does not work. So, the only answer is show your strength. Again, American strength, American resolve, as the Palestinians someday reach the point where they want peace more than we’re trying to push peace on them—and then it’s worth having the discussion. Until then, it’s just wishful thinking.”

REALITY CHECK: In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew its troops and citizens from the Gaza Strip, handing the entire territory to Palestinian control. It’s a decision many Israelis have come to regret, especially those living near Gaza who face the weekly barrage of incoming rockets: 8,000 have been launched since 2009. Romney simply stated a fact: why push Israel to relinquish more territory when past experience shows that invites only trouble?

As for demonstrating American resolve and strength, as Romney urged, note that Hamas and other terror groups began their merciless rain of rockets on Israeli communities a mere three days after the U.S. election results were announced. Did they perceive an intrinsic American weakness they felt they could exploit?

Who knows.

The point is that Mediaite was quick to conclude that because Obama helped broker the ceasefire last week, many lives have been saved. One might argue conversely that because the Obama administration has not been tougher on post-“Arab Spring” Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has continued to allow passage of military materiel through the underground terrorist smuggling tunnels linking its territory with Gaza, not exactly a life-saving policy. President Mohammed Morsi has also allowed Hamas terrorist leaders to move to Egypt after they abandoned their headquarters in Syria due to the civil unrest there.

So how much credit does Obama deserve for saving lives due to the ceasefire? Hamas’ number two in command Moussa Abu Marzouk gave us one big hint on Saturday, telling the Associated Press there is “no way” his group will stop obtaining and manufacturing weapons.

  This is a sign that American’s are abandoning God and following a False Prophet. How can you tell if Obama is a False Prophet. The Bible say, a man that edifies God is a true profit and a Man that edifies himself is a False Prophet. A true prophet would never go against Israel.
  
  American’s want a handout and Obama wants to rule the World from Israel – America wake up. Stop following this man. He has an agenda and you will not like it when he is done.

Another news source that is on halucenagens. I think back on the days of th Soviet Union, where the media was controlled by the Politbureau. What’s the difference? The liberal media don’t have to think, they say what the White House tells them to say. Let’s be grateful that we still have some sources where we can get the real news and not propaganda, and pray to God that we keep our freedom, a little while longer.

ABSOLUTELY NONE. It’s a Obama/Clinton smokescreen to bide time for the what I call the ”PalestOnians”, or AKA medieval rock chuckers..

  I beleive that the only reason Morsi and Bronco Bama “brokered” the cease fire was because hamas was getting there azzes handed to them, this way hamas gets a reprieve from the total destruction that they were facing and the afore mentioned bozos look like gods to all the sheep.

  Mat, not sure what thing you consider “significant.” Director of a church-based community organization program in 8 Catholic parishes, civil rights attorney and taught Constitutional Law for 8yrs, graduated Columbia U and Harvard Law School, 1st African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, served three terms in IL Senate, 3 years as Senator of IL during which he sponsored several legislations, some of which bore his name, and held assignments on held assignments on the Sen.ate Committees for Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works, and Veterans’ Affairs Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. He was also Chairman of the Senate’s subcommittee on European Affair. You can look for yourself, as I did (thanks for that!) on Wiki, because I left A LOT out!
  You can argue that you don’t like what he did, but it seems disingenuous to argue that he did nothing.

  Hi Slayer found this interesting quote from Daniel Greenfield “Palestine is a weaponization of a manufactured people to destroy Israel”
  
  Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) paints Israel in 50 years. This you tube video is extraordinarily telling; however long, about an hour/40 minutes. But, Greenfield is as knowledgeable and a delightful speaker as he is a writer and photographer. Anyone seeking a fuller understand of the complexity facing Israel will enjoy his speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v-s3t95EveOpY. If the link does not work the title is the same as the first sentence in this paragraph. His blogs are outstandingly written as are his articles at frontpagemag.
  There is information at http://www.debka.com that 0 is sending U.S. Special Ops to Sinai to thwart more Iranian weapons from getting into Gaza via Egypt’s Sinai. This is one reason why Israel agreed to ceasefire.

  Short-sighted. It won’t be long before Hamas, or whoever is acting on their behalf, is once again shooting rockets etc at Israel. They’re smuggling and bringing more weapons into their possession, and with more open borders. What do you think they plan to do with them?
  
  Another observation. The goal of jihad, of Muslim extremists, and don’t think [some, if not most] non-extemists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, is the submission and eradication of the infidel–the non-believer. Unless you’re Muslim, that includes you.

  You would be wise to read the writings of James Burnham.
  
  You should especially read his opinion on Containment, the purpose of war, communism & “Peace Movement”
  
  Burnham was part of the old left, that left the LEFT in disgust over the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact that carved up Easter Europe. On top of that Burnham made the point that Communism was a big sham. You are a big leftie so you should read his works.

  I see that you have not read Burnham.
  
  Burnham called the hydrogen bomb the “undecisive weapon”. He advocated political warfare. Examples are the Soviet Union funding the American Communist party. Other examples can be found in the book “The World was Going our Way” by Vasili Motrokhin. The book is written from the smuggled archives of the KGB.
  
  It is one thing for someone to contribute to a campaign for a candidate or political cause & it be known. It is quite another that the Soviet Union did it thru numerous groups & it was hidden. You, Tifosa, are a product of just such monies & propoganda. And now you simply cannot help yourself. The poison is in too deep & has been there too long.
  
  The Soviets are not the only one’s messing with the American polity thru unseen (mostly) hands. There was the Buddhist Temple Scandal of the Clinton gore years. But it matters not, because Democrat pols turn a blind eye. What is that infamous phrase. Oh yeah “No controlling legal authority”. Thus ‘spake’ Al Gore.

  SOY, Sorry Bud, but you are starting to sound more like ENCINOM and THE_JERK these days. Reagan and both Bushes were called the cowboys who most likely start a load of wars. Hmmm, seems like some of them did, but did any of them send troops to fight any of Israel’s conflicts? The closest to that, that I recall were the deployment of the Patriot missile systems when Saddam Hussein was lobbing scuds in there. Still, that was basically a train up, then a rapid redeployment.
  Maybe you can really start backing your new bestest bud considering your avatar and watch for him to do some more Libya like gun running to help the idiots who continually attack Israel.

Give me a break. The arrangement for a ceasefire was needed to give Hillary something to hang on her mantle before she leaves. Thanks, Hillary, for taking the fall for Banghazi. It was all arranged before she even got there.
Egypt arranged for the ceasefire in order to continue to rape us for $1 plus billion dollars of aid, plus they needed time to get more weapons in. Romney is right – there is no peace here. All they want is the total destruction of Israel.

  For Mitt Romney: “Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful have opened against me; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They have surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, but I give myself to prayer. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.” (Psalm 109: 1-5)

Oh my, yes indeed, add the truce to Obama’s other great accomplishments:

1. Fast and Furious: High caliber weapons sold to Mexican drug cartels lead to the death of border agents Brian Terry and Jamie Zapata. The CIA is also drafted-in to launder drug cartel money in an infrequently reported sidebar to the F & F debacle.

2. Benghazi: While Obama watches complacently from the White House situation room, four men: Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty are left to die in the desert night.

3. A debt increase of $5 trillion dollars, rejection of the Keystone Pipeline and the passing of the NDAA are footnotes compared to the loss of life in 1 & 2.

Can we all rally around and chant “We love Barry Soetoro! We love Barry Soetoro!”

“Remember Benghazi”

  Sorry Dignified,
  
  The typical liberal response to hard facts: denegrate the messenger by calling him “lame” or “a racist.”
  
  What’s lame about reporting four great men dying on satellite TV while the Sewer Rat-in Chief likely ordered pizza for all his treasonous stooges in the White House Situation Room?
  
  Is it “tin foil hat” time when our nation will be $20 trillion in debt by the time this Marxist / Socialist finishes his work? Whose wearing that tin foil hat?
  
  Is it time for you to “grow a brain cell” as our Southern border explodes with the weapons Obama and Holder sold to the drug cartels.
  
  Try some adult night classes at your local community college and then come back and run with the big dogs. Try the courses dealing with logical thinking. I typed that real slow so you could follow.
  
  Your grade on your response; D-.
  
  Be sure to wear that D- with honor and don’t ask a judge to seal your records like your hero managed to do.
  
  “Remember Benghazi”

  JohnPaul… I think its important to know, and you’ll sound smarter if you know, that there was NO live feed that Obama was watching. it is a completely speculation based accusation from the right that has no grounds in reality and has no evidence to back up.

  As your initial post isn’t based in reality, I don’t feel compelled to respond to that.

Whoever this clueless POS Tommy is must have been born yesterday. The rag heads will never change and the only reason they ever call a cease fire is to get more rockets from that that toilet Iran. What a waste of e-trees this guy is by printing his liberal trash.
