[Make sure to read Joseph Klein’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
During Barack Obama’s presidency, relations between the United States and Israel, its closest ally in the Middle East, reached an all-time low. Obama appeased Israel’s mortal enemy Iran, allowed a one-sided, anti-Israel United Nations Security Council resolution to pass in the waning days of his administration, and released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority in his administration’s last hours. This was on top of the hundreds of millions of dollars that the Obama administration had previously bestowed on the Palestinians, which the Palestinian leaders largely used to fund terror and line their own pockets rather than for the benefit of their own people.
Now Barack Obama is once again demonstrating his animus towards the Jewish State of Israel. Commenting on the current crisis in the Middle East, which was precipitated by Hamas’ genocidal slaughter and abduction of Israeli civilians on October 7, Obama warned Israel to restrain itself in its response to Hamas’ unspeakable evil acts. He said that “the world is watching closely as events in the region unfold, and any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs could ultimately backfire.”
Israel is in a fight for its survival against an enemy whose declared mission in its founding Charter is to wipe out Israel and kill as many Jews as possible. What the “world” thinks of Israel’s military strategy in defending its citizens against any further terrorist rampages is irrelevant. Why should Israel care about what the so-called “international community” thinks when many UN member states have regularly lined up in reflexive support of the Palestinians and have consistently bashed Israel?
“Already, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the bombing of Gaza, many of them children,” Mr. Obama said. He conceded that “Hamas’ military operations are deeply embedded within Gaza – and its leadership seems to intentionally hide among civilians, thereby endangering the very people they claim to represent.” But then he put the onus on Israel for the inevitable civilian casualties resulting from Hamas’ use of civilians as human shields.
It is Hamas, not Israel, that is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity – both against Israeli civilians whom Hamas has slaughtered and abducted and against Palestinian civilians whom the terrorists deliberately put in harm’s way.
“The Israeli government’s decision to cut off food, water and electricity,” Obama said, “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.”
No matter what Israel has done for peace in the past, such as unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza in 2005 and agreeing to multiple ceasefires with Hamas following its previous rocket barrages, the “international community” demands ever more of Israel. Many in the “international community,” including the lame stream media, make excuses for the Palestinians. They take Hamas’ exaggerated claims of fatalities in Gaza from Israeli airstrikes at face value. They even ran with Hamas’ false accusation that Israel had destroyed a hospital in Gaza, causing multiple deaths, which compelling video and audio evidence proved was caused by an errant terrorist rocket.
Mr. Obama should be blaming only Hamas and its fellow terrorists for the “growing humanitarian crisis” in Gaza that he says he is so concerned about, not Israel.
Hamas has it within its control to secure the full restoration of provision of food, water, electricity, and fuel to Gaza by releasing all the hostages the terrorists are detaining, as Israel has proposed. Out of more than 200 hostages held captive by Hamas and its allies, however, only four have been released so far.
Moreover, Israel has no moral or legal obligation to provide any aid whatsoever to an enemy-controlled territory, especially when that enemy can then turn around and use what Israel provides to sustain the terrorists’ continued war crimes against Israeli civilians. Hamas has had sixteen years since it took over complete control of Gaza to enable the territory it is governing to become self-sufficient in the supply of basic necessities. Instead, Hamas has diverted money and resources that it has received from donor nations and non-governmental organizations to build up its arsenal of weapons, construct war tunnels, and carry out successive attacks on Israel.
Mr. Obama said that “how Israel prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters,” adding it matters that “Israel’s military strategy abides by international law, including those laws that seek to avoid, to every extent possible, the death or suffering of civilian populations.”
Israel has been doing all it can to abide by the laws of war by warning civilians residing or working in facilities that are partially occupied by Hamas to leave the premises before Israel’s military strikes those facilities. Israel has also warned Gazans living in northern Gaza to evacuate their homes and head south to safer areas along routes that Israel’s military has pledged not to strike. It is Hamas that has been dissuading, and in some cases preventing, Gazan civilians from leaving the more intensely active war zone in the northern part of Gaza.
Obama neglected to denounce the Palestinian Authority and its leader Mahmoud Abbas for remaining silent about Hamas’ blatant war crimes and violations of any semblance of international humanitarian law while leveling their usual accusations against Israel.
Barack Obama did enough damage while he was president. He would do well to keep to himself his opinions about Israel’s counterattacks in defense of its people against a genocidal enemy.
Michael says
Joseph,
Well said.
Michael says
All,
First, no one cares about what Obama says; he “hates” this country. Second, when he speaks of the “world”, he’s only referring to his “fellow travelers” and like-minded, so-called leaders, not you and me. It’s simple, there are those who believe in the sovereignty of the individual within a sovereign state, and those who don’t.
VOWG says
Obama is the enemy of America.
Jeff Bargholz says
He’s an enemy of all humanity.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
Financed by George Soros who lamented that Obama did not do all that he (Soros) would have liked him to do. Both profited immensely from living in the US yet worked incessantly to “fundamentally change” America. They have all but succeeded judging by recent demonstrations supporting Hamas.
Steve says
And the friend of Iran and Hamas. I have no doubt that if the whole truth about Barack Hussein Osama were known, he’d have long ago been convicted of treason.
Perry Ackerman says
Just not pointedly sufficient to get the ‘fence sitters’ off their butts and get really furious enough to make the monkey eared, caricature that is the ‘missing link’, unevolved primate that was likely hatched by a cow bird (Google it). pay for his treachery by forcing him to repay the student loan he got from his sand dwelling Arab mentors in Riyadh.
That, and having inter species relations to continue contaminating the human gene pool. should get him sent to El Salvador’s brand new prison (Google it) to contemplate the evil he unleashed on a (foolish and trusting) population.
I believe Biden, our current geriatric version of Jimmy Carter (Oh, my mistake. I thought “Peanuts” was dead.)
lives only because Obamama expelled him in his last bowel movement before leaving the White House.
That’s how far Biden’s nose was up his master’s butt.
Well, I certainly feel better now.
Eva says
Nicely said!!!
And with humour too!
Beez says
What a piece of shit. He brought the world to this deliberately. This wasn’t Dementia Joey’s incompetence. This was B. Hussein’s perfidy.
Michael says
All,
Remember:
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” Obama said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
-Barack H. Obama

Dov Jacobs says
As allways Frontpage is Factual and Truthfull, but let me ask what use is the Truth if very few hear it? Frontpage must make greater efforts to heard by a wider audience, somehow you have to breakthrough the MSM Conspiracy of Silence and Leftwing Narrative of Lies; is it possible to be more Confrontational and directly challenge them ???
Thank you for your terrific work so far,
Regards from the UK.

“What the “world” thinks of Israel’s military strategy in defending its citizens against any further terrorist rampages is irrelevant.”
Only its not irrelevant.
The strategy of Muslim Brotherhood/ Hamas over a number of decades has been to try an isolate Israel from the international world through the physical and ideological infiltration of University and college campuses, public bodies, government positions both domestically and internationally in order to cut off support to Israel. from the international community, especially the US. If the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas can achieve this then their genocidal “military” goal can be more easily accomplished. Worryingly the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas strategy seems to be successfully progressing given the scale of the anti-Jew “demonstrations” across the “West” on display since the Oct7 pogrom. This strategy poses a much more existential threat to Israel than anything Hamas can accomplish “militarily” from Gaza or West Bank.
Mo de Profit says
Turning the world against the Jews is his intention, the statement was only made to point the legacy media in that direction.
Annie45 says
Mo de Profit – Agree 100%. And so that Hussein Obama could
join with the chorus of squad members and Palestinian emigres
and supporters now rampaging across the cities of Europe and
America against Israel and the Jews – and yelling for the ‘genocide
of Gazans’ to stop.
Obama has shown the world he has chosen sides in the Palestinian-
Israeli war. What else to expect from a fiend who – as President –
chose Islam over what was best for America and indeed the world
every time. He is evil incarnate.
Intrepid says
Barack Obama…..the latest Hitler in a long line of Muslim Hitlers.
Beez says
IF BO goes to Jerusalem, he will reveal himself as the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition.
Sword of The Spirit says
I guess the world is not watching Hammas and Boko Haram. Right Mr ButtKrak Hussein Obama?
Steve says
Well, he was watching. And he approved, as much as Rashida Tlaib, Akexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Buttkrak.” That’s a good one. I laughed at that. 🙂
Chief Mac says
I hope the world is watching and learning how to deal with murderous scum known as Islamofascists.
RS says
I have news for evil. Globalist objectives align with Satan’s future efforts to overthrow heaven and rule in the place of the Most High God over a kingdom on Earth. To accomplish this goal, he must unite humanity under a single worldwide government with his man, the Antichrist, ruling the world from Jerusalem. Globalization demonstrated how readily man is falling in line with Satan’s diabolical plan. This globalism wants to end liberty, and take away rights, its the prelude to the end times when God will judge the rebels, and end the rebellion.
TomSJr says
You should add to your assessment that “HEAVEN CAN NEVER BE OVERTHROWN since GOD is GOD, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, and Satan is a created FALLEN ANGEL.
RS says
You. should understand that globalization demands that each nation surrender its sovereignty and submit to the control of a worldwide government, a government that does not serve mankind. God’s Kingdom will NEVER be shaken, his will is going to be done in heaven and on earth no matter what man does. The Tribulation is coming, and man is going to be under God’s wrath which will be far worse than Satans because God is in charge of everything that happens. Satan and the unbelieving world are careening toward the inevitability of hell. God is omnipotent…God alone is all-powerful. “Even from eternity. I Am He, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it? Isaiah 43:13.
Ed Snider says
From the sea

Chopped liver
Rose says
You are forgetting one very important fact– Almighty God is on Israels side. There have been many battles in war won that are really inexplicable.
Tionico says
does not matter whethre Hams COULD or WILL eventuly win or lose. Israel, rightly, are moving to END this present round, and if possible, all future round, of such conduct as we saw a few weeks back.
Your comparisons with WW 2 battles are irrelevant nonsense. Those were seventy years ago, a whole lot has changed since then. Mightt as well cite the Siege of Vienna on 11 September a few centuries ago.
Da ‘ting is is you refuse to accept the plain fact that YOU will bear no responsibility nor consequnces for Israel’s decisions. Thus your prattling is no more significant than geese farts on a windy day.
sjam says
However Monte Casino DID fall to the allied forces – Polish 2PolCorps – which a few short months later led to the liberation of Italy.
How Israel’s Gaza campaign and at what cost to Israel only time will tell. But Hamas will reap the whirlwind.
TomSJr says
So, if home invaders invade MY HOME/FAMILY, am I to lay down and allow them to murder and/or destroy me and my family without fighting back? GOD WOULD SAY NO. GOD WOULD SAY FOR ME TO SHOOT EVERY ONE OF THEM. LIBERALS AND FOOLS HAVE MISPLACED COMPASSION. Their compassion seems to support DEMONIC HAMAS while demonizing Israel’s right to defend itself.
IF ISRAEL DOES NOT SEARCH OUT, SEEK OUT, AND DESTROY HAMAS, THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS TO COME.
NETANYAHU has the right idea. DESTROY THE ENEMY WHERE THEY ARE, THEN HUNT THEM DOWN AND ELIMINATE THE THREAT. THAT is an OFFENSE strategic after-the fact.
If you are NOT part of the solution, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
HAMAS IS THE PROBLEM. IDF is the solution.
Those who defend Hamas, murderous terrorists, are part of the problem.
BUT, the Bible clearly warns us of these END DAYS and this is just the beginning.
The Bible says that EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY (ITS LEADERS) WILL TURN AGAINST ISRAEL.
Curt Koenig says
Yeah…ant those who have been REALLY WATCHING saw Obama set the stage for
and continue to aid the destruction of Israel
SPURWING PLOVER says
And the world hard Obamas based faced Lies for eight full years and afterwords Obams Lie a bout America

Onzeur Trante says
Everyone knows the world is watching Biden’s United States and wondering who really is in charge.
Onzeur Trante says
Just curious. Is your recap — above and below — from the same Scott Ritter podcast rant where he called Israelis “rabid dogs” among other nasty characterizations and clearly stated that he hoped Israel would be defeated? He might be a genius military analyst, but he also seems deranged, at least in that podcast he was.
TruthLaser says
Ritter was paid by Saddam Hussein to make a movie.
AZCOWBOY says
You are as nuts as that little fascist fruit cake Ritter was.
Rick says
Obama, the secret Muslim, disciple of Frank Marshall Davis, and “best selling author”.
Steve says
Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers wrote Barack Hussein Osama’s “autobiography”
Viet Vet says
That’s true! …..
Kasandra says
He wasn’t so secret about it, either. When he thanked John McCain for not having made an issue “of my Muslim faith,” George Stephanopoulos there himself on the grenade immediately intersecting “you mean your Christian faith.” But no one bothered asking, if that is actually what Obama meant, why would he have thanked McCain for not mentioning his Christian faith? All prior U.S. Presidents had been Christian. It simply would not have been and issue at all. Clearly, in thanking McCain he slipped and committed the truth. FWIW, I heard an interview with Jeremiah Wright years ago in which he said that he had told Obama he could join Wright’s church without giving up his “Muslim values.” He didn’t say “beliefs” but it was right next door.
thesheriffisnear says
i don’t care what a muslim d-sucker has to say about israel
ed says
The world is watching
This is how islam must be treated
Eva says
Hopefully, people are getting some ideas from it.
Tony Rice says
IT must be remembered OBAMA is MUSLIM, friend of the Iranian Mullahs, Russian plant, born in Kenya, hence not eligible for President of America
RS says
He bowed to the Saudis and he bows to Mahmoud Abbas.
Perry Ackerman says
Osama bin Obama needs to transition from a pre-op tranny to an actual female version of AOC so that he may join the “Squad” of scum spreading Jew baiting commentary. No, he’s not American. Simply because he was born a simian.
We’d have been better off tossing his carcass into the sea before finishing bin Ladin off.
RS says
Even Senator Edward Kennedy called him Osama Obama.
Justin Swingle says
DO A SEARCH for Obama and his Saudis paymasters.
GOING ALL THE WAY BACK
Why did a Saudis billionaire pay for Obomb’s Harvard education? And why????
The mullahs rolled in cash as a result of rolling Obama and his gullible team over the deal, knowing that Obama was desperate for some sort of legacy. MONICA SHOWALTER
Justin Swingle says
and you can bet Hillary is watching………………..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
One topic that Hillary is quick to criticize President Trump on is his relationship with Saudia Arabia. It’s ironic given the Clinton Foundation’s refusal to state that they will no longer accept financial donations from The Kingdom as others have.
But the Clinton Foundation, to which donations declined dramatically after Clinton’s 2016 defeat, has taken multi-million dollar contributions from Saudi Arabia in the past and isn’t ruling out continuing to accept them.
The Clinton Foundation accepted between $10 and $25 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with donations coming as late as 2014. A now-defunct group named “Friends of Saudi Arabia,” which was reportedly co-founded by a Saudi Prince and often worked as a PR front for the kingdom, also donated between $1 and $5 million.
Qatar’s longstanding efforts to buy influence in the United States have, quite unsurprisingly, included substantial donations to the Clinton Foundation. In 2011, for example, the foundation accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar in honor of former president Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday. Hillary was serving as secretary of state at the time, but failed to disclose the massive donation to the State Department despite her pledge to keep the agency apprised of the foundation’s foreign donors.
Manny says
The world also watched the sadistic barbaric inhumane animals that slaughtered without provocation the hundreds of peaceful Jews and American Jews who were celebrating a Jewish music festival and enjoying life. Why doesn’t Obama say anything positive about that? Obama is a Muslim and Muslims stick together even they are wrong. Obama has no credibility nor principle.
Herbert Hämmer says
Remember Hussein Obama’s famous speech a few days before the election: “We will fundamentally change the United States of America”! He sure did, and is still doing it on “his third term”, pulling the strings of his Puppet Joe
Biden! Let’s not forget he i\also admitted that he is a Muslim, and that his assistant was and is an Iranian woman named Valerie Jarret! And rumor has it that his two kids are actually the offspring of Jarrett and he and Muchella a.k.a. Michael Obama adopted them, since men have no god-given ability to biologically reproduce! Obama is the real criminal here, responsible for Millions of deaths – soon.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
Tunnels constructed by $billions Obama/Biden freed up for Iran and also money directly gifted to Hamas in Gaza. Two weeks prior to October 7, Biden gifted $158 million directly to Hamas in Gaza. Now, he is sending Gaza, aka, Hamas, $millions in aid. Whether stupid or promoting killing, it matters now because it is deliberate, dangerous, suicidal.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
Biden and his Chicago nursing staff will not allow Bunker Busters.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
Regarding #2, no one believes Iran will hesitate one second to deliver it once they have it.
Ghost of Tocqueville says
Why would any red-blooded American who loves liberty care at all what a radical Marxist and closet Islamist has to say other than for the purpose of knowing the enemy?
Tionico says
B B B B b b bbbutt……… Entebbe……..
The Israeli army are no strangers to taking on the utterly impossible and DOING it. And for the sake of Hamas and the rest of the factions that equally hate Israel and rest of the West, I sincerely hope Gaza becomes the next Entebbe, if for no other reason that it would shut the mouth of the gainsayer.
MacDonut says
I give Obama and puppet OBiden the middle finger salute…

Hey Jihadist, queer, Marxist Revolutionary, America hater, we’re watching you asshat!!!!
AZCOWBOY says
GO TAKE YOUR MEDS, RETARDO.
RS says
Enemy combatants, like Hamas, are using the cement tunnels right under Gaza to carry out their missions against the people of Israel.
RS says
The enemies of Israel are the ones who are crazy, their egos are too big and they underestimate and don’t believe in the real God of this Universe who loves Jerusalem. The wars will go on for some time, but the final is coming and its not Israel that will be destroyed, its Israel’s enemies.
Daniel R says
You don’t have to use “Mr.” when referring to stinking 0bama (in lowercase, he doesn’t deserve uppercase). You can either call him Odious obama, obama the jerk, or Chief Antisemite obama.
