Obama: Israel is a mass murderer Jonas E. Alexis, Senior EditorJanuary 27, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. …by Jonas E. Alexis, VT Editor Obama has a long history of openly criticizing the Israeli regime, especially Benjamin Netanyahu, and for that, we give him credit. On one occasion, he referred to Netanyahu as a “chickenshit.” It can be argued that Obama was the first U.S. president to publicly express dissatisfaction with the Israeli regime. While most U.S. presidents traditionally criticize Israel in private, by the time Obama entered his second term, he had grown increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu. More recently, Obama has produced a devastating attack on the regime. He said explicitly: “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.” Let’s consider that, for years, Obama played a significant role in supporting Israeli actions that led to conflicts and casualties in the Middle East, notably in Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan. However, it appears that Obama is now distancing himself from being perceived as a puppet of Israel. This shift is noteworthy, and we should acknowledge his move towards a more independent stance. Welcoming him to the rational community is a positive step.
