The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) responded strongly on Saturday evening to former President Barack Obama’s attempt to draw a moral equivalence between Hamas terrorism and Israeli “occupation.” The RJC stated Obama was “complicit” in terror and conflict.
As Breitbart reported, Obama told the Pod Save America podcast – run by his former aides – that the United States was “complicit” in the suffering in Israel and Gaza. Obama claimed that acting supportively requires admitting the situation is complicated. He said that what Hamas did was frightening and unjustified, but also that the “occupation” and treatment of Palestinians is intolerable. Obama said to resolve the issue you must admit everyone is somewhat complicit.
In response, the RJC stated this is not complicated. Hamas attacks civilians, takes hostages, uses human shields, diverts aid, and builds terror tunnels rather than shelters or institutions. Hamas is solely responsible for the ongoing war. The United States should fully back Israel to end Hamas’s ability to harm Israelis and Gazans.
Instead, when Israel faces an assault from Hamas, Obama condemns Israel. Obama is complicit in the death and hardship this past month in Israel and Gaza, the RJC stated. Obama’s policies provided billions to Iran, which funded Hamas. Obama attempting to reduce his own culpability does not change the facts.
Last weekend, all Republican presidential contenders spoke at the RJC annual leadership conference in Las Vegas. They emphasized the importance of the US-Israel relationship and condemned Hamas terrorism. They also criticized Obama’s policies, stating his approach had endangered Israel and emboldened its enemies.
Several speakers highlighted the difference between Obama’s stance and that of the GOP. For example, Senator Ted Cruz noted that Obama was morally confused, unable to distinguish our friends from our foes. In contrast, Cruz said the Republicans celebrate and support our allies like Israel while condemning our enemies.
The conference heard that Obama’s legacy in the Middle East has been one of chaos and conflict. His withdrawal from Iraq led to the rise of ISIS. His nuclear deal with Iran fueled instability and terror. Speakers said Obama’s misguided policies had weakened Israel’s security and caused mounting threats to the region.
Therefore, Obama trying to justify his own failed foreign policy by drawing a moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas is unacceptable, the RJC said. There is no doubt Hamas is the aggressor and Israel is acting in self-defense. The RJC said Obama should focus on his own complicity in enabling Israel’s enemies rather than unfairly criticizing America’s ally for defending itself.
I see you still kissing asses Barack! From A gay president with a transgender wife. And were going to listen to him!
How did your gay inhouse cook drown is the media would like to know! Between his foreign Policy and Biden’s Foreign Policy we will be in a world war!
Hey Ed, I totally agree with what you said. It’s ridiculous how O’Bama was even elected as President. He did nothing for the blacks and he only lined his own pockets. Back when Obama won the election, I heard a lot of blacks say, “We have finally arrived!” Meaning because he became President and was black, they, themselves, finally would be better off. But he only made sure he and his family would become better off.
He is one of the worst Presidents we have ever had!
Without a doubt!
Obama had his chef killed because he was having sex with his daughter
I do not like that KenyaBorn Muslim ButtPlug more than the next guy, but this time I agree with him, Who had Jesus crucified, Who took Palestine from the Palestinians in 1947. And I’ve been in Israel, and I’ve seen how the Jews are treating the Palestinians, Not nice, I can guarantee you that, But the Jews control all the Drive by media, they are experts in self-propaganda, and lying through their teets. Hitler killed 6.M, but 3.7.M was Europeans and Americans, they forgot to tell you that because they also controlled the history books, did they tell you they were the owner of 176. Slave ships, that they were the Slave traders/Owners. Guess they forgot to tell you that as well. they are also expert in price gauging, looking at medications, and Hospitalisation. And who is the swamp and the elite here in the US?? Who control the EU, the UN, and this the USA. JEWS.
THIS POSER NEEDS TO STAY
OUT OF OUR POLITICS. HE IS A FAILURE, JUST A FAST TALKING CROOK.HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO KENYA. BUT I’M SURE THEY DO NOT WAN’T HIM THERE. OUR COUNTRY HAS WAY TO MANY MUSLEMS.
Has America forgot day Obama was walking out the.white house he had pallets of money sent Iran….and what about Biden and Clinton sold our uranium to Iran while he vice president and her secretary of state and nobody did anything but what’s happening in middle east is is in Bible God knows what he’s doing just trust and totally believe in the Lord and keep looking up because our redemption draws nigh….God will fight for Israel remember I’ll bless those who bless you I’ll curse those who curse you…nobody seen nothing yet after Rapture (believe it or not) there will be 3 and half years of false peace then last 3 and half years will be the worst man’s eyes has ever seen
I know you are right, Gayla! Great post! Thanks! I’m hoping our “president” might get a wakeup call. NOW, is the time to turn to the only real LEADER we have, Christ! With you and Him ALL THE WAY!
I didn’t trust Obama when he was President, and his holier than thou attitude appears stronger than ever! He can thank Biden that he is no longer the worst president, and they both make Jimmy Carter look like President Roosevelt!
The only way you know they are both lieing is their mouths
are moving!
My Dad always said “you just can’t fix stupid!
Bubba, THANK YOU! This made my day! Hope you won’t mind if I make a copy and keep it close by, I and I think most of our country agrees with you. It’s wonderful to get a laugh out of it too! Not too much laughter or happiness in our nation for a long time now. WE NEED THAT! Blessing, Bobi
AGREE WITH YOU 100% WHEN WILL HE REALIZE HE IS NO LONGER RELEVANT????? NOW THEY TRY TO PUSH USELESS MICHELLE OBAMA TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. LET US HOPE AMERICANS ARE WAY TO SMART , WE HAD TO SUFFER ENOUGH UNDER BATH HOUSE BARRY.
Barack Obama, America’s first elected black POTUS. Now, we’ve proved The United States Of America is NOT RACIST, however, we have proved that America has become less intelligent when it comes to electing leaders to represent Our Country. Joe Biden is more proof of lacking intelligence when electing a President!
DO YOU REALLY THINK BIDEN WAS ELECTED. EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS SENILE. NOT ELECTED BUT INSTALLED BY THE FAILURE DEMOCRATS WITH THE HELP OF OBAMA FOR HIS 3D TERM.
Absolutely right!
To hell with Barack Obama and his family, he’s in on all that’s going on today, but no one pressed the issue about him being gay and or him marrieing a transginder and knowing that the children isn’t there real children, thanks to his best friend that he paid off. But to top that off when he became president democrats and government already knew, look who his father was,a traitor. Obama needs to stay out of the way and mind his own business like what happened to his gay cook.than he weaponized his brother of arms AKA ISIS before he left office. But this isn’t even about the fake x president Obama. And Biden is just like a lapp doll he likes when the liberals and democrats put their hands up under his shirt and give him orders because he’s not capable of pulling this off his self, come election he will not be happy with the outcome.
I always wondered why there were never any people to come forward that went to school with him but then his name was different back then but where are all his high school and college friends? Its a mystery in some respects and then you have people talking that they never saw any pictures of Michelle pregnant most people cherish those kinds of photos to look back on some things just dont add up but yet he was President and to this day he is still running things and its not for the better. As far as racial things you would have thought things would have gotten better with a black President but relations have just gotten worse and thats really a shame!
Anyone who votes for the democrats also has no intelligence.
Right on!!! Cant believe anybody would vote for a Democrat these days they have gone off the rails!!!
I love the article. I still have to spend time to analyze it and then to try to figure what my part can be in determining what can be said or done to move toward peace. That is the problem: we all WANT peace, but there is always a “but”. Israel wants peace but only after Hamas is totally destroyed. Hamas wants peace, but only after Israel and the Jews are destroyed. Lebanon wants peace with Israel, but only after (I guess) Hizballa says it is ok. Saudi Arabia wants a relationship with Israel, but only after a two state solutions is reached and then there is Iran, China, Russia, Syria, North Korea et al who want peace, “but only after they get” whatever it is that they want. Is there ever going to be “peace” or should God break His covenant with Noah and destroy the earth or at least its inhabitants.
Sorry to be so negative, but what is the alternative. With all the intelligence in this world why can’t we develop an answer to these BUTS and accomplish something ?
I can’t believe it. .All of you people must be Conservatives because you are all telling the truth.
You are probably more than 100% correct however, you should use a grammar checker or proofread before you post so you don’t prove the Democrats right and make us all look and sound like a bunch of freaking dumbass Hillbillies
PLEASE STOP ACTING SO HIGH AND MIGHTY. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. AT LEAST WE SPEAK AND READ ENGLISH. MORE THEN MOST CAN SAY FOR OUR CONGRESS. DO NOT FORGET WE ALL LIVE IN A MELTING POT, THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATS……….
ODUMBASS needs to be taken to GITMO and
HANGED !!!!
Obama knows HE is the one to blame, but he is trying to lay it off on us to cover his ass! Don’t forget, he released five top Taliban leaders for a deserter! Plus he released Al Baghdadi so he could start isis. Then he said isis was the jv team, then had all his minions calling him a hero for bringing berghdal home! Don’t see any heroics on his part! And yes, he had everything to do with the rise of isis, funded terrorism by sending billions to Iran, and aid to Palestine! And don’t forget the Ben Ghazi fiasco he created with the lie about a video, so he could steal the election! Did he ever apologize to the families of those killed in Ben ghazi! Hell no! He should be brought up on charges of treason against our country and Israel! He and Biden are the worst presidents ever! Obama should stfu and get out of our politics! Go back to the bath houses you lying loser, we don’t want to hear your rabel rousing bull crap! We should ask Romney and sanders what he threatened them with that scared the hell out of them. After he talked to them they were terrified.
Why should anyone listen to this illegal President. He lies, steals, cheats and kills people who go against him. Sounds like he learned well from Hillary. Right. You flat don’t matter anymore and to a lot of us you didn’t matter then. Democrats have stolen elections for many years. The only reason Hillary lost is because they didn’t cheat cause they just knew President Trump couldn’t beat Hillary. Wrong. So then they had to go back to stealing elections. In 2020 President Trump was voted 3 to 1 more than Biden. When the democrats saw this then of course fraud came out big time. Rules and election laws were broken once again to keep President Trump out. You see Obama, Clinton and Biden had to get back in office so they could destroy records of their corruption. Democrat we’re to happy to help along with President Trump haters. Democrats biggest mistake was spreading a virus. Then people were ordered to stay home. When people stay home they see what is really going on. Even with democrats rewriting election laws which is illegal, they couldn’t stop Americans from voting President Trump into office. So they had to rig election. Our tax dollars was spent on democrats thugs to steal election. Everything democrats have done to us was with our tax dollars. Yes not only is our government weaponized they also weaponized our own money against us. Obama thinks we are all stupid and believe basement boy is in charge. Wrong. Can’t be in charge when you are at the beach or on vacation with our money. Now more people have seen your corruption and weaponized government in full swing. 2024 election is going to be watched carefully by voters you can’t buy. So Obama what do you plan on doing in 2024 with illegals you brought into our country? Remember one thing before you steal another election. American citizens out number your military and yes they can shoot better then your crybabies you have in their now. Don’t underestimate the true Americans anymore. Unlike you we will defend what is ours and yes we will win. We know who will stand with us and those who will hide. This is the United States of America and it belongs to the American citizens. You all want to back terrorist instead of defending America. We want to defend America and win against terrorist. Americans first.
