Obama Was Unaware of Arms Transfers to Israel

Officials 'Blind-Sided' When Israel Took Arms Without Asking

Pentagon officials are trying to downplay the incident, saying that Israel didn't need the permission of the White House or State Department to take the arms. Whether or not that is strictly true is unclear, but doing so was clearly irksome to the administration.

In addition to stopping the shipments, the State Department announced a new "review" of all arms shipments to Israel, though they insisted the timing of this was coincidental, and was simply a function of concerns about the invasion of Gaza.

A US diplomat complained about being blindsided and officials at the White House and State Department were disturbed by what they considered a risk to regional stability and Israel's interests due to a humanitarian catastrophe, according to the report.

However, no one was blindsided. The Israelis filed a routine request for munitions as they always did. Israeli bureaucracy is famous for its automated mentality, which is set in motion months in advance. Even the draft notices for upcoming 18-year-olds begin two years earlier at age 16 and then are sent out six months before the actual appointment.

A US defense official also said there was nothing unusual about the request.

There was no intent to blindside anyone. The process for this transfer was followed precisely along the lines that it should have, the official said.

But with regard to the July 30 attack, the information was reported from Gaza inaccurately from the start, deliberately manipulating and inciting American officials.

Pallywood wins again but it is a bit odd that top government officials could so easily be misled, unless it's an active choice on their part.

That's not the fault of American media but rather due to the Hamas propaganda machine and the willingness of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to collaborate.

It's also due to the need for journalists to stay alive; there have been more than a few reporters who have managed to leave Gaza and later were courageous enough to admit they were threatened with death if they were to photograph, let alone report, the truth of what they were doing to their own civilians there.

The lone shell that was fired struck outside the school compound, as was already admitted by at least one UNRWA official in a tweet several hours after the event.

Stewart is a blithering Idiot,and there are about 1.8 Million Residents in Gaza!
So your Numbers are off either way!

As of 2014, Palestinians of the Gaza Strip numbered around 1.82 million people.WIKI

you'd of course have only Civilians killed,since the Hamas Fighters,in contravention of the Geneva Convention fight unmarked!
Which actually puts them outside the Convention!
