189. are you not capable of understand a simple argument.

Fri Aug 8, 2014, 02:56 AM

Aug 2014

Are you really not capable of reading and understand what you read?

I said that Obama is capable of helping both sets of people, not that I want him to help the Palestinians over the Yazidis.

Obama can easily keep his policy of intervening on behalf of the Yazidis militarily, AND also put diplomatic pressure on Israel to help the Palestinians.

The fact that Obama wants to adopt a military option to help the Yazidis because they might be slaughtered on masse by bad guys and refuses to put diplomatic pressure to help the Palestinians because they are being slaughtered by his friends, shows just how hypocritical he is.

He CAN help both sets of people, yet he chooses to help one with the harder actions, AND refuses to help the other with easier actions.
