Bangkok - President Barack Obama says Israel has a right to defend itself from missiles being aimed at the country by militants in the Gaza Strip.

Obama says "no country on earth would tolerate missiles raining down" on its people and says any effort to resolve the conflict in Gaza "starts with no missiles being fired into Israel's territory."  Obama's comments come as Israeli strikes hit two media centres in the Gaza Strip on Sunday as violence continues to escalate.

Palestinian militants meanwhile fired at least one more long-range rocket at Tel Aviv, the fourth day in a row the city has come under fire.

The rocket was intercepted by Israel's "Iron Dome" missile defence system.

Obama spoke at a news conference in Bangkok on Sunday.

‘N Duidelike verband tussen Israel en Amerika wat behou word, ongeag of dit Romney of Obama is wat die stuurwiel hou! Dit dui op magte groter as die verkose presidente en hulle persoonlike sienings. Wat egter vir die gelowige hier van belang is, is die wete dat die lotgevalle van volkere en nasies deur God self bepaal word. Met dit in gedagte word die onvervulde profesieë in die Bybel van belang, veral waar Israel betrokke is. Meer nog omdat die Afrikanervolk se geloof deur omstandighede onder druk gekom het sodat hy die wonderverlossings en oorwinnings uit die geskiedenis vergeet het en deur sogenaamde leiers gelei word om die beginsel te versaak en die omstandigheid te aanvaar.

Obama says "no country on earth would tolerate missiles raining down" on its people, behalwe die Afrikanerleiers en dit terwyl “missiele” op elke denkbare lewensterrein op ons neerreën!
