Netanyahu to Kerry: Hamas bears responsibility for consequences of its actions

[Fozzledick]

In phone call, PM tells US secretary of state that Israel will take "all necessary measures" against threats; White House condemns reported attack on IDF soldiers as "barbaric violation of cease-fire agreement."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told US Secretary of State John Kerry Friday afternoon that Israel would take “all necessary measures” against those calling for its destruction and using terror against its citizens.

Netanyahu's conversation with Kerry came just hours after two IDF soldiers were killed, and one feared abducted, during an attack that took place an hour after the US and UN brokered cease-fire went into effect.

Netanyahu said that the terrorist organizations in Gaza would bear responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

Netanyahu called the attack a flagrant violation of the US and UN-brokered cease-fire arrangement.
...
“Hamas has paid, and will yet pay a heavy price,” Livni said. Then, in an obvious reference to the fact that the attack took place after Hamas accepted the US and UN brokered cease-fire, Livni added, “If it was not yet clear enough to everyone, now the world knows who is responsible for the destruction and blood” in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the White House condemned the reported Hamas attack on Israeli soldiers as a violation of the recently instated humanitarian cease-fire.

"That would be a rather barbaric violation of the cease-fire agreement," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on CNN, and called on Hamas to release the abducted Israeli soldier. Earnest called on Hamas to release the Israeli soldier.

1. It is clear that Israel is responsible for the deaths of a about one thousand Palestinian civilians.

Hamas is responsible for the deaths of how many Israeli civilians?

[Fozzledick]

2. It is clear that Hamas is responsible for ALL the deaths on both sides.

Why the hell do you keep trying to make excuses for them?

[upaloopa]

3. Yours will be the most disgusting post of the day

I M H O.
It is lack of humanity that keeps this killing going. It is evident on both sides of the fight and on this board in posts like yours.

[Fozzledick]

4. Says the pot to the kettle.

[Comrade Grumpy]

6. That is a deeply twisted and distorted post.

I was going to say "misguided," too, but I think you know exactly what you are doing.

[Fozzledick]

8. Have you no shame?

[BlindTiresias]

9. You are infected by hate

[Fozzledick]

11. Project much?

[BlindTiresias]

14. No, not usually

Just call it like I see it, and your posts lately have shown you to be maddened by hatred. I bid you to embrace compassion and not fall into false good versus evil narratives.

[Fozzledick]

16. Then why this exception?

If it is an exception, which I doubt.

[BlindTiresias]

18. unsure of what you mean, friend.

Are you attributing arguments to me which I have never made?

[hifiguy]

20. You realize that this is precisely the same logic

as a spouse beater who says "look what you made me do to you."

Israel has the blood of those dead women and kids on its hands. No one else.

[Fozzledick]

21. No, this is the same logic as the Nuremberg Tribunal

holding responsible those who choose to unleash the horrors of war on the world.

Hamas is just as guilty.

[hifiguy]

22. You do not get it.

[Fozzledick]

23. Oh yes I do.

What I don't get is why people keep trying to make excuses for aggressive war and terrorism.

[Comrade Grumpy]

5. More with the wife-beater defense. "She made me do it."

[Fozzledick]

7. More lame excuses for perfidiously violating a humanitarian cease fire.

It's clear now that Hamas never had any intention of keeping the cease fire, they only wanted to exploit it for a sneak attack. Why do you keep trying to make excuses for the inexcusable?

[BlindTiresias]

10. Why do you?

[Fozzledick]

12. How can anyone defend Hamas after using a cease fire to launch a sneal attack?

[mylye2222]

13. When on Hell will Bibi

the war criminal understand that would not maybe be Hamas in power....if it wouldn't be an outrageous blockade that rips any Gazaians essential rights?

[hifiguy]

19. Never. His operating system is programmed much like DicKKK Cheney's.

15. Kerry to Hamas: Give Back Kidnapped IDF Soldier ‘Immediately and Unconditionally’

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on Hamas to immediately and unconditionally release the missing Israeli soldier.

“The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s attack, which led to the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the apparent abduction of another. It was an outrageous violation of the cease-fire negotiated over the past several days, and of the assurances given to the United States and the United Nations,” Kerry said in a statement.

"The international community must now redouble its efforts to end the tunnel and rocket attacks by Hamas terrorists on Israel and the suffering and loss of civilian life."

17. It's clear there can be no further talk of cease fire until after he is returned.

Unfortunately Hamas is hell-bent on further escalation.
