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."

And every Israeli butchered in the Hamas attack, all of them did, Barry?

What a piece of taqiyaa lying scum he is.

Good quote.

Talk about being stuck in a rut.

When the Dead Sea Scrolls were found it was feared that like the game “telephone” in which party goers are told to repeat something by whispering to each person in a circle, and the first message ends up humorously garbled, the ancient scriptures and fragments would probably show many mistakes in the hand written scrolls copied in modern synagogues.

Not so. The ancient letters were surprisingly accurate and unchanged after all those years.

And whose fault is that Obama? Israel's? NO! The responsibility for the deaths over there now fall fully at the feet of Hamas, and their cowardly acts of using innocent civilians as human shields.

What a crack head.

I love Ben Shapiro’s comment: “If Israel laid down all their weapons today, Israel would be obliterated. If Hamas laid down all their weapons today, there would be peace ...”

Lots of Germans and Japanese died for what their regimes did. Stuff happens when you let those kinds of people take over. It’s even worse when you vote them in. No cares given odungo.

As one of the congressional terrorists said, “...some people did something...”

The good news is they will be properly Judged by THE One True Judge. No amount of ‘taqiyya’ will work with Him!

They voted in Hamas to run their sh*thole.

Go f*ck yourself, Barry.

Well there actually WERE some Germans who WERE anti-Nazi!

And IF you want me to prove that, ask me in FRmail!

I doubt that the same can be said for the Muslims living in Gaza.

Obama is always just who I expect him to be.

He never fails to confirm it.

The Jews…. No other nation in the world wanted them, so they got together and formed their own nation. And now no one wants them to have that either.

Didn’t he bomb lots of Middle Easterners, Afghanis and Africans with Predator drones?

Did all those people he had killed have anything to do with Al Qaeda or ISIS?

The people hamas killed had nothing to do with muslims either.

Hamas and their supporters deserve whatever Israel dishes out on them for what they did to the Jews.
