I think he meant just the Israeli families of the hostages suffered, not all of Israel, while all people of Gaza suffered.

Instead of merely posting an image of text that

  • challenges our ability to verify the message & review context, and
  • breaks accessibility, searchability, & fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable

could OP provide a link to source? We shouldn't have needed some other commenter to fill in missing context.

People in Gaza might refer to themselves as "people of Gaza." And there's aid groups with the name. And plenty of other instances where it's used to humanize them (seems so to me at least). I've already done more work looking for this theory to line up than the ones proposing the theory.

Nobody spends their free time looking shit up anymore do they? Throw me a bone here. Give me a white paper study on just how, precisely, Obama is dehumanizing gazans through his speech patterns. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying I'd like to be right. But being right takes effort. Evidence.
