Reflecting on his presidency, Obama posed the question, “Well, was there something else I could have done?”

Former President Barack Obama cautioned against ignoring the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war, warning that “all of us are complicit.”

“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted interview with Pod Save America released Saturday.

        Lol i should, america loves killing minorities, but they’re also pussies that cant hold down a resistance made of farmers like 4 times in a row

        Aside from that, I’m sure his input is more relevant and nuanced than any of us could have just based on how many briefings I’m sure he received on the region over 8 years.

        The briefings: “today we only stole five million dollars of resources, raped a few dozen, and killed 50 civilians, but on my honor as a US Marine we will strive to increase these statistics for our glorious conquest.” “Thank you soldier, America is in your debt. Now how can I both lie to the public but also seem sorry about it?”

      Touch grass and get therapy.

      Obama’s opinion here is obvious, because Hamas and Israel have both done terrible things. But because Obama doesn’t reaffirm your opinion like every other tanky so now he’s a race traitor, and should be murdered.

      You’re no better than the brown coats.

        on one side israeli nazi pieces of scum are commiting genocide, on the other side we have native people fighting against genocide. Woah both are so much the same.

        Hamas are good, fuck off you slimy colonizer.

        no obama is a race traitor because he re-enforced the prison industrial complex that is specifically geared toward the harassment and imprisonment of african americans. He betrayed his race for an in with the capitalist colonizers. Stop using the black man to cover for your racism, liberal

        You’re no better than the brown coats.

        sweetie you support the genocide, you are the brown coats
