Obama (Secretly) Visits Gaza and All He Gets is This Freaking T-Shirt
Despite what some haters have to say about Obama skipping the reality Palestinians are living under — in refugee camps, contained by walls, and under siege — in order to visit every Israeli memorial and political faction, we have evidence he visited Gaza and received a warm welcome and nifty t-shirt from Abu Tir:
Note, an undercover Ehud Barak to the left (now you can see how he snuck into Beirut to assassinate Palestinians, including, reportedly, the writer Kamal Nasser).
Yes, this image is a play on his visit to that town under perpetual Palestinian siege, Sderot. Yes, they did present him with this cheesy ass t-shirt (see below), which actually shows what a gimmick the rocket attacks are. They are aimless, and despite hurting some people, and killing others, are trivial in comparison with the scope of destruction and oppression levied by Israel towards the Palestinians.
That does not mean that attacking civilians is justified, but it does mean that Obama’s photo opportunities in places subject to a fraction of the violence at the heart of this conflict calls into question the basic comprehension needed to bring and end to this conflict — Israel is the belligerent occupier, and the displacer that originated this conflict through constructing an exclusivist state.
