Press StatementIf Israel has the right to defend itself, and Hamas is using a civilians as human shields the logical conclusion is that Israel shouldn't be bashed for the civilian deaths--Hamas should. So the truth is based on the statement above is the Obama administration does not Israel to defend herself because when Hamas is firing at Israel behind human shields Israeli troops are not allowed to fire back.

The United States is appalled by today’s disgraceful shelling outside an UNRWA school in Rafah sheltering some 3,000 displaced persons, in which at least ten more Palestinian civilians were tragically killed. The coordinates of the school, like all UN facilities in Gaza, have been repeatedly communicated to the Israeli Defense Forces. We once again stress that Israel must do more to meet its own standards and avoid civilian casualties. UN facilities, especially those sheltering civilians, must be protected, and must not be used as bases from which to launch attacks. The suspicion that militants are operating nearby does not justify strikes that put at risk the lives of so many innocent civilians. We call for a full and prompt investigation of this incident as well as the recent shelling of other UNRWA schools.
We continue to underscore that all parties must take all feasible precautions to prevent civilian casualties and protect the civilian population and comply with international humanitarian law.
Sadly the only real effect of the State Department statement is to encourage Hamas to use even more civilians as human shields.

If anyone is surprised by this, they have been living under a rock for the last 6 years, Ovomit has stated that when the political shifts change he will stand by the Muslims. OK people get it. He hates America, Christians and especially white people.
So the American Leader of Hamas, Ohamas himself, thinks that more Jews should die? No surprise. He wants a Caliphate.
Christians, you are next...oh wait, he already is going after you..
It's time to join together and get out nation back.
I HATE OBAMA...
” the aim of the Combined Bomber Offensive…should be unambiguously
stated [as] the destruction of German cities, the killing of German
workers, and the disruption of civilized life throughout Germany.
…
the destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives, the
creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale, and the
breakdown of morale both at home and at the battle fronts by fear of
extended and intensified bombing, are accepted and intended aims of our
bombing policy. They are not by-products of attempts to hit factories. ”
–Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris, Air Officer
Commanding-in-Chief RAF Bomber Command during the latter half of the
Second World War
