    How is it a flip flop? He's saying that Israel can defend itself, but should make peace. Hamas and Israel have already called a ceasefire, wouldn't that mean that Obama simply wants to make peace?

    When the test came, several American diplomats said, Mr. Morsi chose pragmatism over ideology, working closely with Washington to bring the antagonists to the table.

    American officials and Mr. Morsi’s advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both the Egyptian president and Mr. Obama had given the other room to manage the demands of their domestic constituencies.

    They spoke by telephone at least six times during the week of fighting, officials said. Mr. Morsi had looked past Mr. Obama’s repeated statements of support for Israel’s right to self-defense, while Mr. Obama did not object as Mr. Morsi publicly blamed the Israelis for both instigating the conflict and then using excessive force.

    But behind the scenes, the Americans pushed the Israelis toward a truce and Mr. Morsi pressured Hamas, as the parties all acknowledged on Wednesday.

    Gaza rockets hit Israel after ceasefire: police


    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip launched 12 rockets into Israel during the hour after a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Islamist militants on Wednesday, an Israeli police spokesman said.

    Israel and the Islamist Hamas movement agreed to an Egyptian-sponsored ceasefire that came into effect at 9 p.m. (1500 EDT) to halt an eight-day conflict around the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis.

    Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the 12 rockets landed in open areas and caused no damage or casualties. "We have not changed our mode of alert and remain vigilant," Rosenfeld said.

    An Israeli military spokeswoman said the "Iron Dome" anti-missile system had intercepted some of the rockets. She added that Israel had ceased all air strikes on Gaza after the ceasefire came into effect.

    In Gaza, witnesses reported one explosion shortly after the truce took effect, but there were no casualties and the cause of the blast was unclear.

    Obama was DUPED; Netanyahu knows better, which is why he did NOT RULE OUT FURTHER MILITARY ACTION.

    He knows the VERMIN he is dealing with, better than anyone does....
