One solider capture made headlines and statement from President, what about hundreds of casualties in Gaza?

The picture is clear now that how USA support terrorist and terrorist country in the World? Thank You USA.

Spoken like a true American politician - Burn the forest but save the goat. 1500 Palestinians dead he does n't show any concern but one Israeli prisoner certainly is his concern

Why Mr. President? Why should this soldier be released? He knew what he was getting into when he enlisted; a liberty the Palestinians were not given.

@Shazaib Very true indeed. Israel is USA favorite baby.So no harm is bearable when something happens to Jews.Obama have seen young babies and infants brutally killed and injured in Gaza but he got no tears for them,but for Israeli, yes he is sad.AFSSOSE and sharram for us Muslims specially the Arab rulers because no tears come in their eyes.

what would you expect from an american.. face of jew...

According to news reports it is not confirmed as yet that the soldier has been captured by Hamas. Even Israel itself has said that ...it is "feared" that the missing soldier is captured. And yet....yet this much more massacre of Gaza residents. And what else Obama could have said except blaming Hamas for breaking the truce as he always tries to please Israel.

@Shazaib The President has been speaking about the Gaza people's suffering for two weeks. Probably you ignored anything he said unless the headline caught your attention.

How low can Obama stoop? Show some courage. You surely can't seek a 3RD TERM.

Has he visited the planet earth as yet? His attempt at being a stand-up comedian on the world show has failed.

An Israeli soldier is so dear to Obama...such duplicity. Unbelievable!!!

When a civilian is *killed*, he has no pain. When a soldier is *captured", he wants an unconditional return. I doubt that Hamas is working on Israeli side. How can a single soldier be captured? Was he wondering alone in the forest? Where were his fellow soldiers?

Mr. Obama Palestinians are also humans, you care for 1 Israeli soldier & say nothing about the innocent killings. If you believe in God then be prepared for His wrath.

@Shazaib Why blame US when our own Muslim leaders are gutless.

Obama unconditionally supports terrorist Netan Yahu for killing innocent Palestinians. What else can Muslims expect from him.

You are a biased idiot and a stupid president

Wow, that was quick.

I believe the war is in Hamas hands to stop now. Unless they wont stop firing useless rockets more and more civilians will die. By now it is easily understood that Hamas who has government backing in Palestine does not care about their people. Everyone knows each time Hamas does a suicide or a terrorist activity and kills 1 Israeli, Israel will kill times 100 if not 1000. So everyone stop backing Hamas and see the larger picture. Peace can only happen when Hamas starts to love their people more than they hate Jews.

Ridiculous.

Nothing new from Obama. He unconditionally supports terrorist state for killing innocent Palestinians so this type of statements shows terrorist state is real power not USA.

"The US president said he wants to see everything possible done to ensure Palestinian civilians are not killed." I guess not selling weapons and ammunition to israel is not possible.

Talibans...ISIS...bokoharam....where are u all now?????not a single word from your representatives on this??

Its not a ceasefire...ceasefire is done two way...Israel has to stop its fire against innocent civilians. Israel is tyrant state and West is just unfair states which watches

"Israel must be able to defend itself" at the cost of killing innocent children and civilians? Absurdity!!!

How about an unconditional lifting of Gaza blockade?

Always double standard. Champions of human rights. 1,500 already killed and no shame. One day Allah will teach you a lesson and you will cry at your deeds. Inshallah.

One soldier is worth more than 1500 lives.

@Joe FL Yes he has been speaking about sufferings of Gazans, but blaming it on Hamas whilst stressing the Israel's 'right to defend itself'. Over 1500 people, mostly civilians, have been killed cold-blooded. What heck is this right to defend? F-15 Block 60 versus Soviet era rockets, and no international news channel feel any shame in mentioning the latter first than the former. Gazans are resisting the tanks with stones, asking for opening of routes so that they could earn a living. If this does not palpitate Mr. Obama's heart, I am so sorry for him..

He has the nerve to talk for the "civilians' safety" after nearly 1500 dead and many more injured. "Murderer in Chief"!

@Masoud>The US president has been completely brainwashed by the Israeli propaganda and outright lies. Partners in war crimes.

@Joe FL Sorry, but nowhere I saw Obama, or for that matter the US Administration, condemning Israel's bombing of innocent women and children in Gaza. They may shed crocodile tears but then they go on to replenish Israel's ammunition as well. What more fine example of hypocrisy you can have.

Has this loon made a statement on about 1400 innocent Palestinian deaths? He is vying for another peace prize!

This is the reason why the United States of America ishatet across the globe. Their president cries for one soldier taken alive but kept his mouth shut when over 1000 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli terror campain, most of them children.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. In twentyfirst century WORLD fiddles while Gaza burns.

Rightly said, Hamas and other islamic terrorists are disrupting the peace in Middle east. take ISIS which is funded by Katar and soudi's. Looks like world is going to end soon

Yeah sure release him in pieces.

thousands of dead innocent people and obama issues a statement about one missing soldier, was he asleep when all those lives were being lost what a hypocrite.

Every one knows that israel is doing worst in phalestine..1000+ compare to 60s and see how Mr.president come on stage to save 01 captured..Americans will always support israel what ever they do..and we will watch and brust on coments boxes nothing else will happen..astonished

Why blame the US when we know they are supporting Israel. What about our ARAB brotherly countries, especially Saudi's? They are busy imposing their version of Islam on Muslims and are fully aligned with US and Israel - in fact they are ready to support Israel to attack Iran's nuclear sites - what a Shame you ARABS.

@Khalid Good one, thumbs up

pleading the case for one 'live' isreali soldier, what about nearly 1500 civilians killed and thousands wounded by jews.

not a strange statement. What is sorrowful is the silence of Muslim countries as a whole middle east Muslim countries in particular. What would we expect from Saudi monarch, UAE Sheikhs and self proclaimed president of Egypt. If they are saving their face today in the blood of Palestine, tomorrow may be the turn of these elite power with the street power

When Hamas fires toy rockets that some time hurts an Israeli civilian Obama cries for a civilian, when a soldier is captured within Gaza while firing and killing civilians he weeps and demand immediate unconditional release. He does not know that Israel presence in the region is illegal , it is an occupying army, over and above that Israel Prime Minister and army is carrying out genocide of Palestinians for which some day they will be tried for war crime. By giving such statements should Obama not be tried by international Wire Crime Court. USA dooms day are close.

I never heard US President asking for unconditional withdrawal by Israel from occupied land and release of Palestinians in Israel jails without any charges.

Being a black president, Obama has to prove is loyalty to the zionist lobby in America, he ends up being more loyal than the king. White President like Clinton are still in a better position, they don't have a king. W was a fanatic, who wen along with the southern belt, neo conservatives. He broke all the records, invaded a country, spent highest amount of dollars, never fought in any wars that took place earlier than that. Ended up fighting a war with a country that did not attack, people who consider iraq invasion on defenseless people as war, call it the wrong war. W created highest number of jobs ever created in American history, but not for America. Changed highest recorded surplus into highest recorded deficit. Changed highest recorded employment numbers into highest recorded unemployment numbers. Sunk America into deep recession, unprecedented loans. Handed over the entire manufacturing economy to China.

@ Ahmad do u think Hamas does not know that it's rockets result in massive bombing. Hamas is offering whatever resistance it can to end the Gaza blockade. Gazans have nothing but their blood to mount international pressure on Israel to stop their economic murder. Rockets r just a symbol of resistance. If gazans silence their voices, they will starve to death. Nobody likes his/her loved ones killed. Blaming Hamas for this genocide by Israel is at best a grave deception.

Is Obama deaf, blind and dumb? Can't he see Israel slaughtering Palestinians? Can he hear the wailing mothers of the killed Palistinians? Can't he tell the truth? This is the world's so-called most powerful person at his lowest! Million of shames and curses on Obama!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for Hamas is to parade dead bodies for the world to see. They fire at Israeli civilians using human shields. When Israel fires back, they parade dead bodies to inflame passions amongst Muslims, and get sympathy from non Muslims.

@Joe FL Only someone who is pro-Israel will talk like that. The statements you are referring to were nothing more than an eye-wash because not a single emergency meeting was convened to assess the extent of brutalities that the whole world was witnessing during the pummelling of the helpless Palestinians who were being subjected to some sort of punishment for lifting their heads against the Zionists. Let's be practical and shed our biases, for pluralism and inclusiveness must now be the order of the day lest we want divisions among the various peoples of this world, which we all so commonly call 'a global village'.

haha, is he joking?

This is the reality of life. Obama statement is no surprise. Even Arab states support Israel against Hamas: NYT

Israel has a right to defend itself. Is that a joke from Obama ?

Now it is clear. No Pakistani should apply for Visa to USA and since Canada, Britain and Australia are strongest allies of USA so Pakistan and Pakistani should boycott these countries as well.USA and its friend will come down on their knees in no time and ask for forgiveness from Pakistanis. Pakistan should also blacklist US Dollar and debar this currency from being used in Pakistan. This is the only way we can standup for Gazan.

@Ahtesham thats a reason he is supporting our country.

Those who are offended by his racist stand should be in D-Chowk on Aug.14th to overthrow his lackey.

Barak Hussain Obama, a half black and half white (half breed) is caught in a situation, where his one part has sympathy for colored Palestinian and the other half has to please his white christian and Jews voters, who are so demanding that it does not matter how much he tries to please them, it does just not do him any good. Those white creatures have a total hatred for the Palestinian and they control the American Media. Bottom line is the a American can never be a peace maker in the deal between Palestinian and Zionist and question is why there should be a deal. The land belong to Palestinian and Zionist are occupiers and the must vacate.

And what about thousands of civilians killed ? The statement clearly shows, on whose side NO-BAMA and USA stand.

Shame on you, Obama!!

Loving Jews (God's chosen) is part of Christian faith. So, do not expect America will ever support Palestinians( Both Christians and Muslims), and this is the fact (An insider information collected while attending a Church for 3 months)

life of israeli soldier is > 1500 defense less Palestinians .

pathetic

in Gaza illustrates this point in dramatic fashion. Some 95% of the 64 Israelis who have been killed during the current fighting are soldiers; some 75% of the nearly 1,500 Palestinians who have been killed are

Courage " made in palestine" and rest is history!!!!!!!

Weakness is the biggest sin. Keep fighting amongst ourselves and we will keep getting humiliated like this.

According to Turkish group 90 percent Muslims are killed in muslin vs Muslim clash. So you guys creating noise about 10 percent and turning blind eye toward the rest. If Muslims had the kind of strength Israel has, they would have captured as many countries as they could.

@Ajay Unfortunately there are hateful people who would blame rape victims for instigating rape. Generally, most members of the offending group remain silent when they see atrocities being committed by their own. Only a few braves oppose their own kind and more sad part is that there are very few cowards, who not only support the offenders, but actually go out of their way to blame the victims for their misery.

@Faz They are power seekers under the cover of religions. These cowards have nothing to do with Islam which does not allow killing unarmed.Unfortunate part is that no mullah speaks against them, because the latters' Islam is only beard and form of religion.

Don't listen to this buffoon; he is joke!

You are a disgrace Obama- a coward - you aid and abet the terrorist state of Israel. You have no heart no feelings for the thousands of civilians including women and children massacred byIsrael in the name of "right to defend itself". This is exactly the logic that the worlds terrorists use to justify the senseless killings of innocent civilians. You now have the gall to ask for the unconditional release of a captured Israeli soldier. What about the release of thousands of civilians in Israeli jails? What about the unconditional end to the daily killings of Palestinians? If you haven't got the guts then how about a little humanity to demand the end to the root cause of the conflict - yes, the end to the blockade of Gaza and freedom for the enslaved Palestinians. I challenge you to show that you are not a stooge of the Zionists, a coward. Stand up and show us that you are a MAN

Dawn, why don't you publish comments that do not agree with you? Where is your integrity?

A shameless person leading a shameless country

@Yousuf Eaxctly its a 2 way agreement. That also means that Hamas has to stop firing those rockets into Israel. Lets be fair.

@muhibbewatan Using racist words like "pro-isreal" and "Zionist" and then lecturing others on bias and humanity. How smart you are!
