The "pallets of cash and a nuclear deal with the world's #1 state sponsor of terrorism" president has some more thoughts after the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.
Not mentioned in the statement was of course that the Obama administration (and now the Biden administration) has been totally open to working with Iran, which supports Hamas.
Obama felt the need to weigh in further as an Israeli ground incursion into Gaza is increasingly likely:
I wanted to share some thoughts on what’s happening right now in Israel and Gaza.https://t.co/fEaYWFisnN

"Both Sides" alert!
Here are some stories with useful perspectives and helpful background information:

There were a couple more tweets from the Obama account, but you get the point. There's only one word for it all:

"But..." What a shocker! It didn't take long for Obama to lecture the country that was attacked about "values":
It’s been 17 days since Hamas launched its horrific attack against Israel, killing over 1,400 Israeli citizens, including defenseless women, children and the elderly. In the aftermath of such unspeakable brutality, the U.S. government and the American people have shared in the grief of families, prayed for the return of loved ones, and rightly declared solidarity with the Israeli people.
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. In particular, it matters — as President Biden has repeatedly emphasized — 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. Upholding these values is important for its own sake — because it is morally just and reflects our belief in the inherent value of every human life. Upholding these values is also vital for building alliances and shaping international opinion — all of which are critical for Israel’s long-term security.
Could Obama find the time to lecture Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime about those "values"?
