| Former President Barack Obama instructs 'All Americans' on rage and grief |
| 2023-10-10 |
| [MAIL] Former President Barack Obama issued a statement about the Hamas terror attacks on Israel 72 hours after they first occurred. Early Monday evening, a statement was released on Obama's X (formerly Twitter) account condemning the violence that has left some 900 Israelis dead and thousands injured. 'All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians,' wrote the 44th president. 'We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. 'As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike,' he concluded. The Obama Administration had an infamously rocky relationship with the US's closest ally. President Obama himself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were not close, and there was tension over the brokerage of the Iran nuclear deal - a passion project of Obama's team. |

| #14 Barack is a typical psychopathic leader. He cares about no one. His use of Hamas is not required as he has Iran to grind on Israel now. |

| #13 ...as it dismantles Hamas. Got that right. I don't want to hear any backdown from this guy, he's responsible for much of this. |

| #12 *Bleep* me, I agree with Barack Obama on something! While I expect we would quibble over the exact meaning of 'dismantle Hamas' and how much of Gaza gets bulldozed into the Med, it's still a sign of the End Times. |

| #11 Biden just gave a pretty good statement about an hour ago. Pretty good except for any acknowledgement of the role of Iran and the early 2021 resumption of large scale US $ to the PA |

| #9 Haven't heard much from Baraq lately. Wonder if he misses his sou chef. Of course, we all know how he really feels about Israel. |

| #5 nothing wrong w Obama statement except he waited over 48 hours also it would be nice if people would repeat 1. Gaza hasn't been occupied since 2005 and even that was just a slice. 2. Hamas clearly aspires to genocide |

| #2 Stalin's definition of "lasting peace" was different as well. Gareth Jones, an ambitious Welsh journalist, travelled to the Soviet Union in 1933 and uncovered the appalling truth behind the Soviet "utopia". All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. ~ Orwell A proclamation by the pigs who control the government in the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell. The sentence is a comment on the hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the absolute equality of their citizens but give power and privileges to a small elite. |

| #1 just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike You know I agree with him. Except my definition of "just" must be a bit different from his. And my definition of "lasting". |
