Obama Backtracks on Support for Israel Against Hamas, Thanks Activists: ‘You Pushed Me’
Breitbart ^ | 5 Nov 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 11/05/2023 6:54:19 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Former President Barack Obama backtracked Friday on his early support for Israel against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, telling an audience at the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in Chicago that they had pushed him to modify his position.

“I had a conversation with a group of you around this issue, and you were passionate and pushed me around some of the public statements I’d made,” Obama told a group of activists and supporters. He said that all agreed on the desired outcome — ” an end to the killing, peaceful coexistence between two sovereign and free peoples” — but that people disagreed on the way to achieve it.

Left unsaid: the fact that Hamas does not want “peaceful coexistence,” nor do the pro-Palestinian demonstrators, in cities and on college campuses, who celebrated the Hamas attack and called for the State of Israel to be destroyed, “from the river to the sea.”

Subsequently, Obama began to backtrack, criticizing Israel for the way it was fighting the war, implying that Israel was ignoring the “human costs” of the war. On Friday, Obama acknowledged that he had backtracked in response to criticism within his own foundation, and said he was committed to a “two-state solution” and an end to “occupation” — though Israel left Gaza in 2005.

Obama did not make a moral distinction between the Hamas attack and the Israeli response, saying that both were the result of the ongoing failure to reach a solution to the conflict, rather than the result of an unprovoked act of mass murder by terrorists.

I know I read about a person from the East who will come and preach peace on Earth, may follow him and he will become famous across the land. In reality this “Savior” will be uncovered to be the AntiChrist. Death and destruction will flood the world ( Four Horsemen) at which time God, The Fatherr, comes down from Heaven.....

> How long before he pushes Potato Head Joe into the Hamas camp too?

Hello? The same potato that released $6B to Iran to *start* this conflict, wants Israel to cease fire, and is busy shoveling your tax money to rearm Hamas (qua “humanitarian aid” that goes straight to the killers)?

Every now and again I wonder if he is the actual AntiChrist.

He could be, except I can’t imagine the Jews trusting a Muslim.

He never misses an opportunity. He is the danger to “democracy”. Not Trump.

Potato Head Joe talks a pretty good game, but his actions to send money to the Palestinians = sending money to Hamas already.

Obalmy says they ‘were passionate’; about as passionate as the Bavarian chicken farmer.

This current hatred of Jews is inspired by Satan. They despise Jesus as well.

The “Teo State Solution” is Israel and Jordan. But Jordan won’t take in the radicals calling themselves “Palestinian “ (neither will other adjacent nations). No one wants to discuss that fact?

Easily done, Obama. Call for the unconditional surrender of Hamas. The hostages get released and the killing stops. Leaders of Hamas subject to War Crimes/Crimes Against Humanity Tribunals. It may well require the ‘de-Hamasization’ of Gazan citizens. Kind of like we did with the last bunch that targeted the Jews.
