Obama says the war in Gaza is killing people 'who have nothing to do with what Hamas did'
Insider via Yahoo ^ | November 4th, 2023 | Charles R. Davis

Hamas's October 7 killing spree in southern Israel was "horrific" and unjustifiable, but what is "also true is that the occupation and what's happening to Palestinians is unbearable," former President Barack Obama said in comments published Saturday.

The remarks come after Obama earlier warned that an Israeli ground operation in Gaza could "backfire," arguing that while Israel had the right to defend itself, any civilian death would increase support for extremism and harm the country's long-term security.

In his latest intervention, the former president argued for all sides of the debate over Israel and Palestine to acknowledge the "complexity" of the conflict and all parties' valid grievances.

"There is a history of the Jewish people that may be dismissed unless your grandparents or your great grandparents or your uncle or your aunt tell you stories about the madness of antisemitism," Obama said. "And what is true is that there are people right now who are dying who have nothing to do with what Hamas did."

The ‘war’ on the streets of Chicago is routinely killing people who aren't part of the gangs and ‘have nothing to do with’ those who are perpetuating the violence. You have no point, Mr. Obama. For the record, the violence in Gaza and the Middle East in general is driven by the same hatred and resentment that your entire life and political career have been based upon.

You really need to educate yourself, work hard on gaining some insight into the illegitimacy of those hateful positions that drive you, lose the illegitimate self-righteousness that has blinded you, and join the world as a true caring, thoughtful, and open-minded human being.

>> Democrats must be scared to death of the direction this is going for Potemkin Joe to bring the Obama out [to calm] down the radicals.

I think you have that exactly backwards. Barack Hussein Obama is the puppetmaster. The stolen election gave Hussein the Muslim four more years to “fundamentally transform” America into an unrecognizable failed state. Joe Biden works for Hussein and does his bidding. Hussein brings Biden out whenever he wants and puts the words on his teleprompter.

Jews have one narrow strip of land called their homeland Israel, the size of New Jersey. They have a right to that land bought with the blood of concentration camp survivors, pogrom survivors and brave freedom fighters since 1948.

How much of the cash left in Affieland, on a tarmac in Eerahn, went to arm the Chamas warriors? All gifts of Obama. How much of that went into the hands of the powerful of America in kickbacks? To say nothing of the gold reserves in Libya.

The comments came in an interview with Pod Save America, a podcast hosted by several of Obama’s former White House aides,


Every article has an agenda. Headlines are intended to evoke.

But if you didn’t know the interview was Obama, there is some evenness in it.

“I look at this and I think back, ‘What could I have done during my presidency to move this forward?’ As hard as I tried — I’ve got the scars to prove it — but there’s a part of me that’s still saying, ‘Well, was there something else I could have done?’ That’s the conversation we should be having, not just looking backwards, but looking forward.”

How could anybody so ignorant about war have been commander in chief? Or call what Hamas did something for Israel to ‘grieve” about?

The deaths of human shields used by Hamas terrorists will "increase support for extremism" says Obama.

Here is a Hamas kindergarten learning to take Israeli hostages:

Nothing will increase their support for extremism. They are already trained as psychopathic killers from infancy.
