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.

Obama’s early pro-Israel statements were a deliberate misdirection. Now he’s showing his true colors.

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

As if we didn’t know where he stood. He’s just confident enough not to hide it anymore. Hope Hamas knows he’s a homo.

Obama didn't backtrack. He just thinks its safe to show where his real sympathies lie.

Note: the 300k 'protest' was treated VERY differently from Jan 6. I'd argue its because unlike Jan 6, its 'sponsored'.

Can’t be the anti-christ.

Too many detest him and would never follow him.

You’re a lying sack of putrid muslim crap, Hussein Obama. That was your position ALWAYS. Your “support of Israel” is window dressing, nothing more.

I call him The Bat-Eared Bolshevik. He is well and truly the worst US President in history.

A Gay, a muslim, and a Communist walk into a bar.

The bartender says, “Hello, Mr. President!”

He is. Everything he did was to intentionally weaken our country. Now he is back at it with Biden as the front man to catch the blame.
