He should have a statement and if he stops trying to hide his true self,our newly elected Black Muslim president will possibly spell the end of Israel.

Yes.

Personally I think the idea of having the Gaza strip in the middle of Israel is asinine. Gee, let's put two groups who dispise each other right next to each other... no wait, I have a better idea. Let's surround the weaker one with the stronger one and see what happens!

Surprise surprise, they fight...

Barack Obama's chances of making a fresh start in US relations with the Muslim world, and the Middle East in particular, appear to diminish with each new wave of Israeli attacks on Palestinian targets in Gaza. That seems hardly fair, given the president-elect does not take office until January 20. But foreign wars don't wait for Washington inaugurations.

Obama has remained wholly silent during the Gaza crisis. His aides say he is following established protocol that the US has only one president at a time. Hillary Clinton, his designated secretary of state, and Joe Biden, the vice-president-elect and foreign policy expert, have also been uncharacteristically taciturn on the subject.

No, if he honors his prior statement about America having one president at a time. Of course that won't stop Jimmy Carter from popping up anytime now.

You think the Israeli's want these bombs fired into their cities? It's the stupidity of the Palestinian terrorists.

Mark this as the first Obama tailored confrontation.

I believe the Israeli's made such an aggressive move because they see Obama as untrustworthy and instead of being dictated to by Him, instead of having to suffer through Obama's rhetoric, decided they could shut him up and set the tone for the next four years by moving aggressively.

Rightly so too.

Obama's statements are out there and his position paper supporting Israel is on his site. (Obama has played both sides of the fence). Now he has to pick sides.

Have to say I think this is an enormous blunder by Hamas. They gave the Israeli's the needed cards to lay down a Royal Flush.

Riiiiight. It was not the some 6,000 rockets fired at Israel over the past couple years or even the 80+ rockets fired at Israel alone on 12/17/08...

Hamas was doing nothing different these past 30 days than they had been for years.
