Obama Sparks Outrage With Remarks on Israeli Land Seizures

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has drawn criticism for comments made in Northern Ireland regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Obama also called on Israel to find moral ways to defend itself and urged Palestinians to abandon violence, while outlining goals for easing suffering and rebuilding Gaza. Pro-Israel groups accused him of historical revisionism, claiming he ignored Jewish land purchases and the historical connection to the land.
