BBC News - Gaza Live: Reports in its 7.57pm post the following, " Mr Obama says he "unequivocally condemns" Hamas for capturing the soldier "minutes after a ceasefire had been announced".
Lets Get Real:
Thus Hamas could not help itself, it has gotten elite and public sympathy for the Israeli actions, then it spoils the PR optics by the taking of an Israeli Soldier, if they have a brain cell they will release the Soldier at once, otherwise Israel will feel it has the ALL CLEAR to take what ever action is need to get its soldier back. Thus the Oval has been pushed back on its feet, its strong critical words of Israel looks hollow and as if the Oval has no idea of what is going on in the Middle East. The Oval should have learned from previous Administrations, stay the hell out of the Middle East and if you have to say something, just support Israel.
