Former President Barack Obama originally said Israel should “dismantle” Hamas, but has now criticized Israel for the way it is “dismantling” the Palestinian terror organization.
In a statement Monday, Obama wrote:
As I stated in an earlier post, Israel has a right to defend its citizens against such wanton violence, and I fully support President Biden’s call for the United States to support our long-time ally in going after Hamas, dismantling its military capabilities, and facilitating the safe return of hundreds of hostages to their families.
But even as we support Israel, we should also be clear that how Israel prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters.
…
Still, the world is watching closely as events in the region unfold, and any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs could ultimately backfire. Already, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the bombing of Gaza, many of them children. Hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes. The Israeli government’s decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis; it could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel’s enemies, and undermine long term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
A siege of Gaza would be lawful under international law, as an expert recently noted. Moreover, as Israel’s ceremonial president, Isaac Herzog, has noted, Gaza only obtains 7% of its water from Israel in any case.
Obama ignored Israel’s long record as one of the best, if not the best, countries in the world in upholding human rights and international humanitarian law in war against a ruthless, terrorist enemy.

Yeah, it would be a shame to see those wonderful loving teddy bears get all hateful and such. You can’t make this stuff up.
He’d be singing a different tune if his children were slaughtered. What a colossal ass.
He can’t resist putting his oar in the water on something like this.
Wonder how that “investigation” is going.
Some of those civilians are keeping hostages in their house. They went into Israel along with the Hamas. I have no sympathy at all for them.
Pali minds have been hardened by Islam for centuries.
Get thee hence Beelzebama! We abjure you, your minions, and all their works!
STHU goat herder. Why don’t you trash your murdering muzzie brothers and we’ll worry about the Jews.
Barry is Hellspawn..
0bama continues: "That's My Job!" 'That's why I promoted the Muslim Brotherhood, that's why I created ISIS, That's why I've given many Billions to the Iranian Mullahs, That's why I had Gadaffi killed when he tried making peace, and that's why we are still trying to kill Assad", That's why we armed the 'Tollybon'."
Id love to tell Obama to his face to go F himself..which considering what his sous chef knew and why he was murdered, he’d probably enjoy..this is what happens when you put Muslims in power Obama started this insanity and Biden is finishing it
Prior to this one Hamas/Palestinians thought kindly of da Joos.
I used to think that Hamas was unliked by Arabs hoping to create a new nation.
The world wide protests teach me that they are one.

They can’t possibly be any more hardened than they already are.
That ship sailed, that train left the station, those horses left the barn a very very long time ago.
Hamas’ current attitude is wanting the complete annihilation of the Jewish people. What would harden their attitude from that starting point?
