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.
But did he condemn Hamas? /s
No, but while doing some tours in Iowa, he instead implied that all Muslims are terrorists, and that we would need to lock up our immigration from their countries and deport any immigrants he didn’t like at colleges here to prevent an attack on US soil from terrorist Muslims.
Just kidding, that was Trump a few hours ago. He also praised the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as “very smart.”
You’re doing god’s work by watching Trump. I have an allergic reaction now. He praised Hezbollah, wtf.
You do realize that the first country to acknowledge the existence of the place where Trump is from is Muslim itself. That basically created the longest unbroken friendship between two countries to this day. It would be a shame if he suddenly breaks it when he gets a 2nd term simply because it’s Muslim. But apparently visa restrictions are still imposed on it.
I gave you enough hints, the country in question is Morocco.
It baffles me that most Americans have never heard of that place.
