Former President Barack Obama should be ashamed of comparing the Hamas terrorist group’s massacre of Israelis with its subsequent occupation of Gaza as it gives license to anti-Jewish forces to “brutalize innocent civilians,” said Harvard Law School Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.

“Barack Obama has been a villain in this whole thing,” Mr. Dershowitz said in a Nov. 8 interview with The Rich Zeoli Show podcast. “And Obama obnoxiously and obscenely compared these brutal murders to Israel’s disputed and controversial occupation. And that will just encourage groups like Hamas to continue to brutalize innocent civilians, not only in Israel but around the world. So I think that Obama … shame on him for what he did. And I used to vote for him, I would never, ever support him, vote for him, or actually talk to him again. My relationship with him is over.”
