Ex-president says decision threatens to worsen humanitarian crisis, undermine peace effort and erode global support for Israel
Some of Israel’s decisions in its war against Hamas – including cutting off food and water for Gaza – could “harden Palestinian attitudes for generations” and weaken international support for Israel, Barack Obama said on Monday.
In rare comments on an active foreign policy crisis, the ex-US president said any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs of the war “could ultimately backfire”.
“The Israeli government’s decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population [in Gaza] 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,” said Obama.
oh the poor poor “palestinians” who are “denied food and water and medical attention” each and every fucking time Hamas and PIJ have attacked Israel, and Israel has responded, for the last 18 years, and done absolute jack fucking shit to change their own governance in Gaza, because they support the terrorists. 2 weeks after thousands of “palestianians” stormed Israel, raped, then slaughtered then burnt nearly 2 thousand Israeli men, women, and children, they’ve got morons like this saying “but but food, water and hospitals” fuck em.
i voted for obama a number of times, fuck his terrorist excusing, “palestianian” apologizing ass too
israel is going into Gaza and going to annihilate Hamas, PIJ, anyone else standing in their way, increase the buffer zone between the Arabs and their borders, and not stop before it’s accomplished come what may.
“palestinians” were given gaza to do with what they liked, they made it a terrorist disneyland with which to attack, terrorize and kill jews.
it will now be remade.
we got the us strike force in the eastern med and ready to take on all fucking comers.
These bloodlust comments are something else. Innocent civilians are being deprived of basic necessities and bombed constantly. Get help dude. If you can’t see the glaring humanitarian issues you have serious problems
What about the Palestinian civilians who are killed indiscriminately every day? I wish you could go there one day and live through the horrors, normal people are put through there.
RIP humanity.
A “terrorist Disneyland”? Is there any other nation so cartoonishly evil, in your worldview?
You good dude?
Shhhh, don’t ask, let em be.
You could have just said “collective punishment is okay” and gotten your point across in way fewer words.
