Wartime?

[DON SVO]

IIRC, Israel said that the presidential election here would be a deciding factor for future events... I guess it's "Fuck Palestine" time.

[SMKR]

Yep I remember them saying that. Obama said he supported Israel, looks like we will see if that's true.....

[Snatch Napkin]

Obama has also said he can't stand Netanyahu and called him a liar.

I would imagine the industrial military complex will have more of a say about us getting involved than Obama's fondness.

This could be fun.

They're are definitely going to war, obummer will turn his back, and....

Hell, who really knows where this shit is going to go. No way the outcome can be a good thing. Especially with Egypt saying they are thinking about going in.

You guys think it will start the third world war? How bad can it get if other countries start throwing their hats into the ring? Where does it stop?

It's just another symptom of re-electing our douche-bag in chief. The world has been holding it's collective breath for this to transpire. And don't think for a minute that Putin's not chuckling in the background...

lolz. Of all the people to ask us to get Israel to stop fighting, I think Egypt should be the last one.

CAIRO -- Egypt asked the United States on Thursday to immediately intervene to stop the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip, warning that the violence could spiral "out of control," the Foreign Ministry said Thursday.

Egypt also announced that its prime minister would travel to Gaza on Friday, an additional sign that the country's Islamist-led government is under pressure from across the region to help find an end to the conflict.

Egypt "will stand with all of its resources to end this aggression and to stop the recurring killing and bloodshed of Palestinians," President Mohamed Morsi said on national television. "The Israelis must understand that we do not accept this aggression and that it can only negatively affect the stability and safety of the region."

Israel launched airstrikes Wednesday to stop militant factions in Gaza from firing rockets and mortar rounds into communities in southern Israel. The initial Israeli attacks killed Ahmed Jabari, military chief of Gaza's ruling Hamas organization.

Three Israelis and 15 Palestinians were killed in the first two days of clashes.

Prime Minister Hesham Kandil will lead a delegation to Gaza on Friday, according to the state run news agency. Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr spoke with Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton late Wednesday, warning that the violence could escalate and asking the U.S. to "use what contacts it has with Israel."

In Washington, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that President Obama had spoken with both Morsi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, reiterating Israel's right to defend itself against attack but urging the Israelis to avoid civilian casualties.

Immediately after the attacks began Wednesday, protesters rallied in Egypt's capital and dozens of activists called for the country to end ties with Israel. Protests resumed near the Arab League offices in Cairo on Thursday morning demanding an end to the attacks on Gaza.

A rally to support the Palestinians was called for Friday in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

......with U.N. ambassadors giving speeches condemning Israel while obammy apologizes for past American involvement in the region.

Egypt says they will use their resources? Do they mean resources they depend on us to provide? Those? Israel had 3 countries fight them decades ago and they won a decisive victory. They're going to wipe Palestine off the map
