By limiting the subject of loss & suffering to the families of Israeli hostages and including every Gazan, respectively?
The other Israelis didn’t really suffer like they did.
Seems a malicious misreading on your part: you guys need to work on your filters instead of choosing a less coherent, most antagonistic interpretation.
“The families of” and “the people of” reads very differently. And starting it with “the families of Israel” makes that the main point. I have no idea about Obamas views on this, but I know he’s intelligent enough to choose his words carefully. And those words absolutely makes Israeli citizens look more like the victims here.
He’s using a Propaganda trick of choosing certain to elicit more positive feelings in the audience towards one side than towards the other, whilst the message itself seems neutral so he can claim neutrality (even better: people tend to take in more easily messages that seem neutral).
It’s a form of manipulation, which he deploys to favor Israel (a country to whom under his orders a lot of American Taxpayer’s money was given).
For humanizing the aggressors while dehumanizing the victims in a public statement about genocide

Thing is any choice would have triggered, the reaction was a given no matter the text
As written “what, Palestinians aren’t families?”
Swap it around "by singling out gazan families, are you trying to exclude and and by inference saying those without a family deserve it?
Use the same term for both? Are you trying to say the suffering for Gaza is the same as Israel?
Can you people even read anymore or it’s all just rage, rage, rage?
