I hear what you are saying, but I think the fact he criticized Israel at all seems significant, especially since he is normally so silent. It feels like he is actually also critiquing Biden a little bit, but without saying so. Anyhow, however long he's been out of office ... I dunno. I'm almost 54 and don't recall an ex-president putting out an opinion like this very often, and so when they have done it, my recollection is that it usually gets more attention than this. I find it weird. But thank you for responding! I can see that others don't perceive it the same way I do.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Jimmy Carter and the Clintons were at heavy odds and that rarely received reporting on more than the periphery.

He’s not staking out a strong opinion. George W Bush has also made a statement on the same conflict that also weren’t heterodox enough to make a splash.
