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."

Barry Sombrero. Please go the hell home. America don’t need your ass here anymore. Really never did. You are not elected. If Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out.
So when’s Odipwit gonna start his Blow Jobs for Peace tour?
So much hypocrisy, so little time.
Do we get this caveat with all the other democrat boogeymen? A dozen FBI in khakis with torches means ALL white people are evil white supremacists. ALL gun owners must be disarmed for the actions of one psycho. ALL men are patriarchy. ALL Trump supporters are “insurrectionist s” All whites are racist. etc etc
Did 0buttbongo have prior knowledge of the attacks?
Next thing we’ll hear is that he is fundraising for Hamas. I have no doubt that he & his roommate Valjar are doing just that.
Yes, those poor Dresden people.
Obama and treason are synonymous.
Obama’s statement sounds like Kamala Harris is his speech writer. That’s sad.
Very few Palestinians were not celebrating on Oct. 7.
And the 1400 innocent people the fakestinians tortured, murdered , and butchered in their homes didn’t ask to be slaughtered. And pelosi should still be imprisoned for doctoring the certification papers to install this Soroznazi puppet in our White House
And so does the war in Ukraine kill people who had nothing to do with what putin did.
Yeah, it all started with 1,400 Israelis murdered by Hamas based on intelligence from Gaza residents with work visas on October 7th.
Old dirty Kenyan
Israel declared war, and rightfully so. In war, people die. Often, innocent people. But in Gaza, they allow these filthy putrid human stains to do as they wish in their midst, so sad as it might be, they are going to reap the whirlwind.
Bathhouse Barry sure has a lot to say lately. The other day it was about AI. Now it’s Gaza. Strangely, he’s got nothing to say about his chef croaking, though.
“Obama says the war in Gaza is killing people ‘who have nothing to do with what Hamas did’”
gee, Hussein, didn’t hamas just do EXACTLY the same thing a couple of weeks ago to thousands of Israeli civilians? ... no doubt, that doesn’t count because they were Jews, right Hussein?
