Obama: 'Nobody's Hands Are Clean' in Israel's War on Hamas

Former
President Barack Obama is
coming under scrutiny for his recent remarks on the Israel war on Hamas, seemingly giving
moral equivalence to the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks versus the Israeli
operation to return hostages from Gaza.
Negotiating
with terrorists has long been failed diplomatic policy, but Obama appears to
urge giving in to the hostage-taking Hamas terrorists.
"If
you genuinely want to change this, then you've got to figure out how to speak
to somebody on the other side, and listen to them, and understand what they are
talking about and not dismiss it," Obama said Friday, according to video
clips posted to X.
"Because
you can't save that child without their help. Not in this situation."
But,
the Israeli Defense Forces officials have warned this week to Newsmax that Hamas is using its
estimated 240 Israeli hostages and Gaza civilians as shields for their
terrorist operations stemming from their massive Oct. 7 attack, effectively
risking the safety of innocent people to keep Israel from striking back.
Also,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a worldwide address this week
a "cease-fire would mean Israel's surrender to Hamas terrorists."
Undaunted,
Obama seemed to suggest admittedly "horrific" terrorist acts might
have been an equivalent response for "unbearable" occupation and
military action against the Hamas terrorists seeking to hide behind among
innocent civilians – and even refugee camps, hospitals, and among school
children – in Gaza.
"If
there's any chance for us to be able to act constructively to do something, it
will require an admission of complexity and maintain what on the surface may
seem contradictory ideas: That what Hamas did was horrific, and there is no
justification for it – and what is also true is that the occupation, and what's
happening to Palestinians, is unbearable," Obama began in the video
podcast, attempting to explain how to solve the centuries of ideological unrest
in the Middle East.
"And
what is also true there is a history of the Jewish people that may be
dismissed, unless your grandparents or your great grandparents or your uncle or
your aunt tell you stories about the madness of antisemitism. And what is true
is there are people right now who are dying who have nothing to do with what
Hamas did.
While
urging to hear from both sides, Obama appears to not listen to the side of the
Jewish state of Israel in making the case of the existential threat of Hamas on
its people.
"You
can try to maintain your moral innocence, but that won't solve the problem and,
so, if you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth,
and then you have to admit that nobody's hands are clean, that all of us are
complicit to some degree," Obama said.
"I
look at this and I think back what could I have done during my presidency to
move this forward. As hard as I have tried, I've got the scars to prove it, but
there's a part of my saying, 'Well, is there something else I could have done?'
"That's
the conversation we should be having — not just looking backward but
looking forward."
Conservatives
and former President Donald Trump have long argued the Obama
administration — and now President Joe Biden's administration — have
emboldened the anti-Israel Iranian regime to fund terrorist proxy groups. In
fact, Republicans have long argued, the payments direct to Iran have indirectly
permitted it to fund antisemitic terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas.
