Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said Hagel called for the cease-fire and expressed concern about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths as well as the loss of Israeli lives during a phone call today with Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon.
At the same time, Kirby said Hagel also reiterated U.S. support for Israel’s security and its right to self defense and said that any process to resolve the crisis in Gaza in a lasting and meaningful way must lead to the disarmament of Hamas and all terrorist groups.
Kirby said Minister Ya’alon thanked Hagel for his support for the defense of Israel, in particular the Iron Dome anti-missile system.
If the Palestinians are so interested in stopping the war, why don’t they surrender? Recognize Israel, denounce terrorism, dismantle your tunnels. War over, life begins
Y did this war start should be our question. Y did the three boys get kidnapped on Friday June 13
This administration calls for an immediate ceasefire while, at the same time, supports Israel’s right to self-defense and disarming the terrorists.
So I think the medical diagnosis for this would be schizophrenia. The alternative would be racial bigotry, namely anti-semitism. But they’re liberals and that’s impossible. So it must be a medical condition.
