Netanyahu tells Ban Ki-moon Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas

August 24, 2014 Agencies

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his claim that Hamas is ISIS and ISIS as Hamas…this time to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

A release issued following their conversation yesterday states that Netanyahu told him that Hamas had again violated a ceasefire this week and that it was responsible for the escalation.

The Prime Minister pointed out that this was the eleventh time that Hamas had violated a ceasefire and noted that it was Hamas which had violated all of the ceasefires while Israel had honored them.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Hamas was committing a double war crime by hiding behind the residents of Gaza while firing at Israel in order to carry out a large-scale slaughter of Israeli civilians. He added that it was in this manner that Hamas murdered a four-year-old Israeli boy yesterday.

Netanyahu added that in contrast Israel does not intentionally attack civilians and expresses regret when this happens inadvertently. He added that Israel has allowed the entry of food and humanitarian equipment for the residents of Gaza even as Hamas has shelled the crossing through which goods are delivered.

Not only his actions in Gaza, but he makes the PA and other moderate Palestinians look like chumps, by continuing he settlements in the West Bank. As a result, the moderates have no progress to show their people, and Hamas benefits from that.

NEW YORK –- Hillary Clinton on Sunday offered a “vociferous defense” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following four weeks of war in Gaza that have left more than 1,900 Palestinians dead.

In an interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, Clinton also echoed Netanyahu's recent claims that journalists didn't tell the full story while reporting in Gaza, an allegation that numerous journalists have disputed.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu said reporters withheld information because of “restrictions and intimidation” from Hamas, the militant faction that controls Gaza and has fired thousands of rockets into Israel. On Thursday, Netanyahu told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he hoped journalists who have left Gaza can now “report the truth.”

Clinton told Goldberg that “what you see on TV is so effectively stage-managed by Hamas, and always has been.”

I know Obama is not perfect, but I am so glad I voted for him in the primary over Clinton.

There's zero chance I'd ever vote for her. She has no moral compass.

Why is he allowed to do his ravings...? Why doesn't humanity call him into question.

Nevermind.... "He's useful"...is the answer...
