Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
Former President Barack Obama weighed in on the violence in Gaza, saying any constructive action would require acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
Former President Barack Obama said a way forward for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is only possible if people acknowledge the “complexity” of the situation.
“If there’s any chance of us being able to act constructively to do something, it will require an admission of complexity and maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas that what Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it. And … that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable,” Obama said in an interview on the podcast “Pod Save America.”
The former president’s comments come as the Israeli military focuses its offensive against Hamas in Gaza City and northern parts of the enclave.

Fuck Israel. They get a free pass every time.
How about Hamas? You seem to be willing to give them a free pass while they still have 200 hostages somewhere in a bunker or tunnel?
Hamas are rotten fucking scumbags. Yet, it's crystal clear that Israel has been able to do whatever they want for as long as I remember. Which is decades. Fuck Israel.
Are you going to condem the terrorizing and slaughter of countless Palestinian children by Israel?
I think that's Israel's problem, not the US'.
Did Israel send aid to the US after 9/11?
um, that's the current issue
Yes, and in the past did Israel send the US aid when they were attacked?
No? Then why should the US send Israel aid when Israel is responsible for both conflicts and has the money to fund it themselves?
