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.

That a d it would circle back to the fact the only reason Israel exists in its present form is due to the US militarily propping it up, so it's a problem the US has ensured continues with its policy decisions, and the equipment killing civilians in the west bank right now are us funded.

I'm not on Myspace, had a falling out with Tom. I did track down your LiveJournal though, so I'll add you on the ol' LJ, as the kids say.
