Shame on Obama because he has the ability to help 2 sets of people, yet he deliberately chooses to only help one of those peoples which requires the tougher action, and deliberately chooses to not help the other set of people which requires the easier action.

Helping the Yazidis most likely will require airstrikes and Obama is willing to do that, YET hlping the Palestinians would only require diplomatic pressure and Obama refuses to do that? Shame on him for having the ability to help both peoples and only choosing to help one.
