[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1334095"][b]Obama seeks to head off Israeli ground invasion in Gaza[/b] BANGKOK – President Obama made his first remarks Sunday on the escalating violence in Gaza and Israel, firmly backing Israel's right to defend itself militarily against rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled Palestinian area, but also making clear that he's eager to avert a potential ground incursion into Gaza by Israeli troops. "There's no country on Earth that would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside its borders," he said at a press conference here with the Thai prime minister. "We are fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself." [b]That aspect of Obama's comments was consistent with the line his aides and spokespeople have been putting out since the violence escalated last week. However, in response to a question about a possible move into Gaza by Israeli troops, the president made clear for the first time that the White House has a grim view of the outcome of Israeli troops entering Gaza.[/b]" http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/11/obama-we-are-fully-supportive-of-israels-right-to-149845.html?hp=f3 I'd really like him to be even tougher on the Israelis than this (publicly speaking against the assassination, not just the rocket fire and potential ground invasion as he has already done) - but this statement definitely beats the rap of that picture up there. Presidents historically have ALWAYS only dissuaded Israel from escalating against Palestinians privately (if at all), so to do so publicly is a pretty unprecedented step, even if balanced out by usual bullshit boilerplate rhetoric to provide cover for it. The real test now is whether this and behind the scenes pressure from the administration actually stops Israel from invading (odds are it will) - and if it doesn't stop them, what Obama does and says to respond to that.
